Based on the articles I’ve read, people always got something different from it and that’s why I love it. These are just some of the realizations I had that prove Blade Runner 2049 is a very deep, philosophical film. Unlike K though, I’ve yet to accept that I’m just a peg and I still haven’t discovered my true individual purpose. I think he felt like that was his true purpose, being one of the catalysts of change. Eventually, K accepted the fact that he’s just a piece and played his part knowing that there’s a bigger picture.
I feel like a small piece in a grand scheme just like how the replicants are. It makes me think that I’m just a peg in a board game and someone else is playing it. I grew up in an environment where people downplay this longing and tell me I shouldn’t go after what I want. I want to feel like I’m important and I mean something. Sometimes I ask myself if there’s more to life than the routine and the norm. In a way, I can connect with that as well. But it turns out (spoiler alert!) that he’s just a decoy.
That was the first time he felt truly special. He believed that there is more to him that what people say. He believed that he is special, that there is more to his life than just the routine. So when he discovered something that showed him he might be more than just a Blade Runner, he believed it. K lived his entire life knowing that he’s just a replicant hunting other replicants. The film also asks what it means to be alive and what it is that makes us special. This resonates with me a lot because I’m at the point in my life where I feel lost and I can’t seem to figure out where I should be. Officer K is somehow trying to find his place in the world. That is what happens to Ryan Gosling’s Officer K. Asking that question will lead to more questions than answers. For me, it actually depicted the mind of someone who’s asking what it means to be human. While I agree that the film tries to say a lot, I don’t think that it’s messy. I read comments about it saying that the film tried to say a lot of things which eventually resulted in it being messy.

But after thinking about it, together with reading articles and watching videos about it, I started to understand the movie which eventually led to me loving it. After the credits rolled all I could say was “What?” because it’s tough to digest everything at first. Rarely do you see a blockbuster filled with depth and so many layers.
I’m glad I didn’t skip because my gut feel was damn right. I mean, I could’ve just skipped it but seeing director Denis Villeneuve’s previous works (Enemy, Arrival) I had this gut feel that he would do something special. So I went to see 2049 with tempered expectations. But for me, it felt too dragging and predictable at times. I know it sounds blasphemous considering it’s a cult classic and is highly regarded as one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time. Let me start by saying that I didn’t like the original Blade Runner. So allow me to indulge myself by writing why Blade Runner 2049 became one of my favorite films of all time. There are great films, then there are films that can change your life. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
