"Blade Runner 2049" before the release, the film company issued three short films, so that the audience from the 2020 to 2049 during the period of what happened. Seems to be a publicity gimmick, but pay attention to "Blade Runner 2049", the more that these three short films can not see. Of course, also look at the "2020", or see this sequel will certainly be confused (even Rachael have appeared!), Or only know the story of the "shell", but do not understand the design and mind.
The first short film "2022 blackout" to explain the copy of the "mutiny" of the source, "blackout" occurred, which also mentioned that they want to "live". The "2036: The Reproduction of the Times" introduces the role of Wallace (Jared Leto), who, in the case of the "Blade Runner 2049", was surprisingly small, but played a very crucial role: "Multiply" the problem. Finally, "2048: no way to escape" is about copying people to hide the identity of the protagonist Sapper Morton in the "Blade Runner 2049" at the beginning of the debut, read the movie you will have a deeper understanding of him.
Of course, for the "2020" fans, the most likely answer is: Deckard (Harrison Ford) is not a copy of people? The upper half of the winged killer 2049 has not seen him appear, and the focus is almost always on the new generation of "Ryan Gosling", so we can easily see him as a "continuation" of Deckard, at least Their "function" is the same: some of the copy "retired" (retired).
(The following contains a very important spoil, absolutely no doubt will inevitably affect your viewing fun, cautious!)
But it was interesting that the film began shortly after we knew that K was a copy of the man, and that he had a similar "girl" (Her) cast out of the virtual girlfriend Joi, the two talk contains a lot of science fiction philosophy; As the audience was on the heart: the Department of microphone to talk about white? Then we thought that the first half is simply "broken material", the purpose is in addition to lay out, it may be directly to the "2020" to pay tribute. For example, whether Deckard and Rachael, or K and Joi, can not help but think, copy people (virtual people) to pay the love is not true love? Or is it just part of the programming? At this level, "Silver Wing killer 2049" is a "2020" continuation, but also "touch her" continuation.
Of course, some of the predecessor of the image style such as high-rise buildings such as huge advertising (Sony, Atari), also brought to the sequel, probably also a tribute. However, the "2020" noisy decadence is somewhat different, this set is more desolate cold, the beginning of K and Sapper Morton that field, but also people think of Tarkovsky "Stalker" (Stalker) image texture it! Hans Zimmer's music is also full of tension, Roger Deakins photography (Gao An brother of the Queen photographer, is also the director of the usual partners in recent years) is the United States had nothing to say, the cliche also said: to see IMAX.
"Denso Villeneuve" shooting "2020" sequel "Silverwing killer 2049", art is bold, gratifying performance, the continuation of "2020" in the world view, but also made a little response to it.
"2020" is the result of this: Deckard with a copy of Rachael far away (different versions of different, here to Final Cut), but they happen what later, we do not know. Will be connected to the film "2022 blackout" and "2048: no way to escape", the context will be clear, "Chain 8" because of the natural life, causing human dissatisfaction, launched a copy of the human action, Take them first. Replicating people for the "normal" life, to fight back, blow up Tyrell's copy of the database, the destruction of all the traces of their whereabouts will be exposed, and thus triggered a big blackout.
The key is: Deckard and Rachael have their children, and the copy of people actually fertility, will be derived more serious problems in the copy of people still can not live a normal life, things can not be more complicated, otherwise Copy the interests of people will have a great impact. This is why Deckard and his children want to flee.
Do not forget, "2020" in the copy (chain 6) was originally designed only four years of life, until the "chain 8" have a natural life. Rachael's design is between the two, probably the prototype of the "Chain 8", closer to the real human.
"Blade Runner 2049" is also under these background gradually floating face, become more interesting. Deckard and Rachael's children are protected, their identity is hidden, can live a "human" life. Plot to this stage, was actually K is suspected that he is the child! "2020" We suspect that Deckard is a copy of the people, and "wing killer 2049" is in turn suspected K is a real person!
Although we later found that K is not Deckard's children, but when the audience still did not know the truth, the original novel author Philip K. Dick often proposed to come: how can be regarded as people? How can we make a person? Is not copying people? Is there a soul Is the memory the most important part of a person? What is the difference between the memory and the real person?
Denis Villeneuve may not have a new point of view and angle, level and not on the "2020" rich, but at least in the continuation, and even slightly widen the first set of world view. Unexpectedly, he was a very slow pace to shoot the story, the atmosphere first (the story is strictly not complicated), and the film company actually accepted, the film up to 163 minutes, "2020" no love The audience may not be used to it?

Before watching the "Blade Runner 2049", we always thought that Wallace would be an important "evil corner", but the truth film is not so loyal and clear, unlike the general Hollywood live film routines. Wallace is just a businessman, he just felt that the production copy is profitable, so bought the Tyrell company's patent, ready to flex its muscles. Helpless even if the demand is very Yin, he is also difficult in a short period of time "mass production", but if the copy can be born? He can engage in an army out! Just based on a lot of important information has long been destroyed, so that he was helpless, but do not know who they are looking for - Deckard and Rachael's children, in fact, near the front.
Wallace just want to make money, for him, the copy of what is not important, can be labor, slaves, in short, human services, for his money. The copy of the rebels will not like him, because they have been eager to copy people more like a real person, which has equal status with mankind, and Wallace a little confrontation.
Remember Roy in "2020"? He is the first episode of the so-called "evil angle" (in fact, he is not bad, just want to survive only, and finally saved Deckard), but full of tragic color, before leaving a sentence: All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. "The Silverwing Killer 2049" The most ingenious design of the script is that the tragic taste is not brought to another "evil corner", and the result is that we are "Deckard's continuation" of the K body, the end of the story accompanied by desolate cold Environment, the share of faint sadness is particularly moving.
As for Deckard is not copying people? Also ask? Are ready to come out. At the end of his meeting with his daughter, his expression is love! In the "Blade Runner 2049", the copy group has a very strong belief, a strong self-consciousness, believe in their own unique, with Deckard's love, K and Joi's love, to some extent more like humans than humans Is not it a response to "2020"?
