Blade Runner 2049
without a doubt my favourite non-horror movie of all time. not only is this the greatest cyberpunk movie or sci-fi movie, it’s one of the most beautiful studies of humanity that we’ve ever seen. we may never know whether joi truly had feelings for K/Joe or if it was just her programming, we may never know whether or not deckard is truly a replicant. but we do know enough that this doesn’t matter, they were all real to us.
whilst for the majority of the runtime we believe joe to be the key, the chosen one, somebody that’s special, we discover that he just isn’t, he’s just another replicant, but that doesn’t change anything. we still know him too well that him not being special isn’t a problem, as he is special to us, and his quiet acceptance of his passing after completing his goal of reuniting deckard with his daughter whilst tears in rain echoes in the background. this movie is utter perfection, 10/10
