A simple deep complex poetic masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2017)

Blade Runner 2049 does a perfect job of expanding on the brilliantly sewn seeds that were planted in the original 1982 Blade Runner. Before watching it we recommend you revisit the first and even read analysis online to get into the juicy juice. Blade Runner 2049 was made for those who are familiar with the story line and is a sci-fi monument and masterpiece. We predict it will win many Oscars — starting with best-adapted screenplay to Hampton Fancher.
To supplement the original film Dennis Villeneuve had the following trio of short films to expand on the exposition. They are not necessary to view beforehand as we didn't see them until after.
Blade Runner 2048: Nowhere to Run Blade Runner 2036: Nexus Dawn Blade Runner 2022: The Black Out
Throughout the film there are numerous references to "the black out" — an event which saw the world live in darkness for 10 days and the destruction of any data which wasn't written down on paper. That means bank records, identification documents, even digital baby photos were all lost effectively resetting the world. The implications of such an event are obvious, but what I want to know is, what caused it? Was it an accident? Did somebody bring it about on purpose to hide something?
The original Blade Runner ends with Deckard receiving an origami silver unicorn from Gaff with his voice-over "too bad she wont live, but then again who does.". When Deckard mulled over the Rachel details he fantasized about a Unicorn. Keep in mind that a Unicorn is "fake" aka replicant. Moreover, keep in mind a unicorn without a horn would be a horse.
Whatever you do — forget about the reviews! One of the ones to stay away from is written by looser want-to-be and failed actor RICHARD LAWSON From Variety magazine. The following was a headline from another article he wrote: "Who Is America's Most Envied Kardashian-Jenner? We finally have an answer to this most serious of questions." Well Richard, go back to your social media and most serious questions with the Kardashians.
