Somebody got shots of San Francisco lit orange by the fires and it looks just like this. They even set it to the BR 2049 soundtrack: ua-cam.com/video/x_m9TUP_t_Y/v-deo.html
But the 2049 street scene towards the casino is unrealistically empty, there is no lamp posts, traffic lights, no trash strewn around, no road curbs, no giant billboards, advertisement sign boards, road signages etc ... just some giant statues ? If we look at Chernobyl's radiation site today, all the buildings interior and exterior are very messy and rundown because people left in a hurry, you see furnitures in a big mess, broken glass windows, paint peeling off walls etc. BUt in 2049 the casino is in such relatively pristine shape ... I don't think the art director really did his homework, or maybe its just a style over substance movie....
TheHiddenNarrative god the things we can pick apart and dissect about this film and still have ? Not many sci fi movies have that effect as they try to explain everything but Denis Villenueve understands them perfectly
What I love about this film is that I can find so many little symbolisms within the visuals. It looks beautiful, but some visuals contain these hidden meanings and small details that leave me thinking. I kinda miss movies that do that, nowadays everyone is obsessed with exposition and everything being spoon fed to the audience, characters saying the themes out loud in ways that make me go "no human talks like this", subtlety is almost extinct.
It's also a mini shout out to the original Novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.", in the end Deckard wanted to start a bee farm. Because of how important bees are to the environment, it could also be taken as his attempt to repair earth.
Villeneuve is just following the first Blade Runner's tradition of having a lot of poetic symbolisms built into the visuals of the movie. And I think Ridley Scott did it better with more sophistication in the first movie ... Like come on, Ridley Scott came up with the idea of the unicorn dream/origami connection to hint at the likelihood of Deckard being a replicant, thats one of the most elegant revelation device ever in the history of cinema .. and that idea did not even come from the source novel's writer Philip K Dick, it came from the director himself. I don't think Denis V had any input close to the level of genius that Ridley came up with for the first movie ...
The effect of this scene is somewhat diminished when you don't have the cinema speakers there to just obliterate the airwaves with each BLAST of sound, striking such a stark contrast with the primary silence of the scene. That's what made it so memorable to me at least.
I think a proper pair of headphones could work good enough for the bluray. What I'll miss the most is the Imax screen. They should do a monthly screening of this masterpiece for people to enjoy it over and over again on the big screen.
From someone who is obsessed with high quality sound and picture i can tell you that some proper home cinema surround sound speakers can do the trick. I was very pleasantly surprised the first time i saw this on blu-ray at home.
I'm a huge film nerd and this movie was the most incredible cinema experience I have ever had. The symbolism, cinematography, editing, music, everything about this movie just fits so well. Villeneuve is the best working director right now.
Dave Matthews Band yes please to marvel, don't care about the others. But lets not start the blame train on Hollywood only. The studios react to what the audience is saying and watching, it is mainly our own fault that we don't bother with such masterpieces like blade runner. For example i asked all my friends and family members to see blade runner and not ond of them wanted to. I happily saw it by myself. Not everything is doom and gloom tho, 2016 was the worst for sequels and reboots as most flopped terribly and was kind of a wake up call to Hollywood.

+JTM 610 But sand storm cannot cover up tall structures like traffic lights, lamp posts, abandoned vehicles, big signages and giant billboards, etc etc, I mean we can see the ground entrance of the casino so the sand is not covering much actually ... The following concept artworks were prepared for the movie but its very strange why Denis Vill never included those beautiful imageries in the final movie , take a look at it yourself, these beautiful images are far more convincing and far more beautiful and atmospheric than the actual movie itself : c1.staticflickr.com/2/1855/30268668428_50e2bfd948_b.jpg conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-est-v001-015-jmc_orig.jpg I am very disappointed becuase the movie could have been far better with more shots like those... the one shown in the movie is just too much as a big studio hall instead of looking like a real deserted place...
@@88feji I get your point, but sandstorms also consist of very strong winds. Concept arts are generally better though, if you look up various art books of different movies they'll always make you think what could've been.
My interpretation is that K gets impressed by the bee, he never saw something like this, never saw a real animal, then he put his hand on there, cause he wants more of that, more of real connection. This illustrates his journey, the seeking for something real in his life.
The photography and this scene left me speechless. Roger Deakins is one of the photographers that can offer one visual journey through one single image.
I disagree, the casino cinematography is actually quite bad to me.. when I was watching it I keep thinking why is everything so neat and tidy in the abndoned casino, did Deckard spend his time cleaning up and tidying the place while hiding out ? I thouht they would show a messy dystopian rundown place but instead you have everything neatly arranged, the lounge is so clean and tidy with the Las Vegas lights there is nothing dystopian or worn out about the whole place, its just a neatly empty casino with a layer of dust in some places ... to me its bad cinematography .. and the orange tone is very flat, it totally looks staged instead of looking like a real naturalistic heavy evening haze .. problem is the lighting is too even, not naturallistic enough, not enough imaginative nuances at all ..
There is a very muted quality to the movie which is really disappointing when you really look at all the concept artworks prepared for the movie but were discarded by the director (or altered to become less impressive) in favor of the far less impressive visuals that we see in the final movie ... If you do not believe me, check out these far better artist concepts which were discarded by Denis Vill. Maybe he felt those artworks are too difficult to be realised on film, anyway here they are : conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-seawall-v002-009_orig.jpg conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-lap-v001-012_orig.jpg conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-vegas-v008-004_orig.jpg conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-est-v001-015-jmc_orig.jpg conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-lap-v001-012_orig.jpg conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Blade-Runner-2049-Concept-Art-Jon-McCoy-ana-memory-lab-v016-0012_1_orig.jpg I'm thinking maybe Denis Vill is so adamant about looking different from the first movie that he discarded these artworks even though they look so great ... the end result is that the movie really looks very muted ...
Notice at 1:03 that the statue’s finger is pointing to the beehives, directing K to them. There is so much visual storytelling in this movie; it’s nuts!
I know it's a blasphemy to diminish an original Blade Runner and Ridley Scott at his peak of creative powers, but I honestly believe Villeneuve is an even better visionary director than Ridley ever was. His ability to immerse a viewer both visually and emotionally is unmatched in the movie industry too imo
This weather pattern is very real. It doesn’t just happen from dust storm with pollution, it happened with the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. That orange hazy sky similarly recurred again in many regions with all that smoke haze covering it from the fire blazes.
Denis:"It was simpler then..." Ridley: "Why are you making movies complicated?" Denis: "Why did you make Alien Covenant?" Ridley:"What Alien Covenant?" Denis: "I didn't figure you as one for bullshit,what's your next project!"
Pawn synthesia funnily enough Ridley has plans for Alien3 ( hope that pans out better than the first Alien3) and Blade Runner 3 he has plans for ( good luck getting funding)
DeepEye1994 Rdiley Scott generally makes absolutely crap films. He pulls off a decent one, once ina blue moon. Name 3 great movies he's made since Blade Runner apart from Gladiator
You don't like Thelma & Louise? Black Hawk Down? Matchstick Men? American Gangster? The most recent one, All The Money in the World, which people seem to like despite having to go through reshoots? You call those "absolute crap films"? Really?
1) Imagine Blade Runner becomes a franchise. 2) Reimagine this movie with Disney in charge of the franchise. 3) Suffer. 4) Rejoice at the marvel of BR2049.
Cristián Paris Hopefully it could go down the path of the Planet of the Apes, especially the prequel trilogy. I’d honestly rather have a trilogy directed by filmmakers with passion and intelligence than franchise films any day.
I suddenly came into a realization. Las Vegas was evacuated as a result of a nuclear fall down and therefore abandoned by it's human population. Nobody would survive there being exposed to presumably high radiation levels for so many years unless it's inmune somehow... To me this chapter in the movie put an end to the human or replicant argument over Deckard.
Brian Fitzsimmons If we accept (as scientists have stated) that cockroaches could survive in a radiation environment, bees being insects as well should be also inmune. I'm not a biologist but I would assume this as a very possible fact. Then there's Deckard's dog, a mammal and as such is a vulnerable living form to radiation exposition unless it's also bioengineered with inmuned cells. K asked Deckard about it: 'Is it real?' and the other replied: 'I don't know, ask him'. Again, even though Villeneuve never gives facts that confirm one side or the other, he keeps leaving subtle hints to make you figure it out.
The bees were synthetic but the radiation levels were low in that area. Most of the radiation gets trapped in the dirt which is buried under piles of sand that blows in. It's probably still not safe at ground zero but one can live around that zone if they are careful and live inside mostly.
Just saw the movie for the first time today. I always love seeing cities in ruin. Idk what it’s called, but I love imagining what life would’ve been like before everything went bad. Especially a futuristic city like Las Vegas.
You should check out the show Life after people. Its about how the world and diffrent cities would look like if all humans disappeared at once. How the earth would retake the world.
That day in October 2017 when dust and sand blown from the Sahara swept over the skies of the U.K. It was just like this, and I had already seen BR2049 twice at that point. A phenomenon that made the magic of this movie real, just for a day.
The piano notes he’s playing at the beginning sounds like ‘Blade Runner Blues’ and then inside like ‘Wounded Animals’ by Vangelis. Wounded Animals suits this scene for sure, because it’s what’s playing when Batty is hunting Deckard.
Bees can be fed with white sugar. Deckard likely feeds them with sugar or whatever industrially produced substitute they have and gets the honey because it likely just tastes better. A major plot point of 2049 is that Wallace made his fortune from genetically engineered food production.
No, the bees are artificial, bio-engineered, like the replicants. In Blade Runner 204l9 the ecosystem has completely collapsed and disappeared, to the point that countries no longer exist, only city states like LA. This was from a recent interview the director did. The dog is probably artificial too. In Blade Runner, trees are consigned to the history books
If you ever hear of an event where they bring Blade Runner 2049 to a theatre, GO TO IT. Especially if it is IMAX. This movie, especially scenes like this, are so much more beautiful in a large format
This scene reminds me of the original film when Deckard entered the building that was J.F. Sebastian's home in search of Pris and Roy Batty. Both scenes are mysterious, visually stunning, and have no dialogue.💫✨
I felt like I was in this scene in Brooklyn, NY the other day, June 7 2023 as NYC was shrouded in Orange smoke from Canadian wildfires. Or I was in an American movie set in Mexico.
0:47 I was listening to the blade runner 2049 soundtrack as I was walking through town and all of a sudden a wasp lands on my hand exactly like this and I freaked out of coincidence
I remember one day in 2018 I walked through a long street and for a moment there I felt like K when he walked through that orange desert into the ruins of Las Vegas.
Yes, Deckard is making honey. The bees are replicants themselves. The hanging platters are for feeding them, though, so that's what they eat to produce honey. There's likely also a symbolic meaning -- another commenter claimed that bees have an association with entering the land of the dead, for example.
I would genuinely like to know if Villeneuve is aware of Fallout/New Vegas. Dead Money specifically. This part of the movie is the only thing that ever felt like it.
I'm continuously amazed at the influence of "Fantastic Planet" on the cinema. From "Avatar" to this scene. Those statues remind me of the statues on the Draags' moon.
The original Blade Runner movie is based on a book, that explains that in a scenario similar to the Fallout video games, there was an enormous nuclear conflict (nuclear war) known as World War Terminus (Terminus meaning it terminated much of society and civilisation) a war so destructive and deadly that no one brings it up. The war created a great deal of nuclear fallout (contaminated dust sucked up by the blasts) that settled on the world and turned much of it cloudy and sooty, polluted it with dust clouds that made virtually everything uninhabitable, not fit to live in. My guess is Las Vegas wasn’t directly targeted with a nuke in this war, hence why every building is still there, but the dust clouds of radiation made it deadly for people to live there, and they abandoned it, and with the radiation, because of its location in a desert, the sand blew in and added to the desolation, which explains the orange glow of everything.
Gutted I didn't get to watch this in cinemas. I've not been since I saw Justice League because it was the most letdown I had ever been bc I was so hyped to see Superman return after really liking MoS and BvS. If this ever runs again in cinemas, I'm gonna watch it no questions asked. Right now though I'm hyped for Dune.
This scene made me want to do cinematography

The first eight seconds gonna be iconic AF later down the line
Well, you were right. 🥹
watching this masterpiece in imax was one of the best ideas i've ever had. and this scene topped it all, it just blew my mind!
Easily. One of the best scenes of all decade.
New York Right Now
And New Jersey
Love the reference to Balde Runner opening, the drumbeat in the background soundtrack.
That day in October 2017 when dust and sand blown from the Sahara swept over the skies of the U.K.
It was just like this, and I had already seen BR2049 twice at that point. A phenomenon that made the magic of this movie real, just for a day.
Blade Runner my all time favorites and this scene in the sequel ive watched so many times. The ambiance and the feel is just amazing.
For the first time of his life K sees beees! an absolute masterpiece!
The ominous drum beat at the beginning is reminiscent of the opening crawl in 1982's Blade Runner.
Being indigenous it sounds eerily similar to our drumming, very tribal. I like it.
An radioactive abandoned retro futuristic Las Vegas is one of the coolest liminal spaces
Very impactful use of form and color. Masterpiece!

NYC residents waking up on June 7th, 2023:
Cinematography in this movie is sheer poetry
NYC right now
The piano notes he’s playing at the beginning sounds like ‘Blade Runner Blues’ and then inside like ‘Wounded Animals’ by Vangelis. Wounded Animals suits this scene for sure, because it’s what’s playing when Batty is hunting Deckard.
It is 2020...didnt think Id see this in reality.
If there are bees, there are plants, and there is a viable ecosystem nearby somewhere. :)
That's what I thought first when I watched this movie at the cinema. Where do the bees get the pollen...?
1:17 those are feeders
Bees can be fed with white sugar. Deckard likely feeds them with sugar or whatever industrially produced substitute they have and gets the honey because it likely just tastes better. A major plot point of 2049 is that Wallace made his fortune from genetically engineered food production.
No, the bees are artificial, bio-engineered, like the replicants. In Blade Runner 204l9 the ecosystem has completely collapsed and disappeared, to the point that countries no longer exist, only city states like LA. This was from a recent interview the director did. The dog is probably artificial too. In Blade Runner, trees are consigned to the history books
Alan Sanchez the bees are artificial.
Right now the Wild fires in Canada is making New York look exactly this atmosphere.
If you ever hear of an event where they bring Blade Runner 2049 to a theatre, GO TO IT. Especially if it is IMAX. This movie, especially scenes like this, are so much more beautiful in a large format
This scene reminds me of the original film when Deckard entered the building that was J.F. Sebastian's home in search of Pris and Roy Batty. Both scenes are mysterious, visually stunning, and have no dialogue.💫✨
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE FIRES
Denis is an outstanding director.....
2023 in New York, literally!! 🔥😷
''You wouldn't happen to have a piece of cheese about you, would you boy?''
"Treasure Island?"
Am I the only one drawing parallels On the imagery of women and the bees, who are making honey?
2017: ''I'm glad I'm not living in this dystopia''.
2020: ''You gottta be kidding me''.
Give it time it's going to be worse
Far far far worse
I felt like I was in this scene in Brooklyn, NY the other day, June 7 2023 as NYC was shrouded in Orange smoke from Canadian wildfires. Or I was in an American movie set in Mexico.
This is the entire western seaboard right now with the wildfires.
This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the orange smoke
This is pretty much California right now.
I seriously wish I saw this in imax. It would been absolutely amazing
Saw it in IMAX in Tuscaloosa Al best experience at the movies in my life
New York right now :
0:47 I was listening to the blade runner 2049 soundtrack as I was walking through town and all of a sudden a wasp lands on my hand exactly like this and I freaked out of coincidence
New York 2023
This scene is iconic, and this movie will become a classic.
Just watched yesterday for the first time it was great
It's already on its way to becoming one. Among more discerning filmgoers, it's already a classic.
I remember one day in 2018 I walked through a long street and for a moment there I felt like K when he walked through that orange desert into the ruins of Las Vegas.
mr Denis , i live You for this
The bass at the beginning!! 😍😍
There was a forest fire upwind of my town years ago and the sky looked exactly like this. It was crazy.
san francisco residents be like: aight imma live in this
New York City 2023
Such a visually spectacular movie
0:24 He's trying to reach the Southern Oracle?
Little reference of The Never Ending Story, lol.
metalore
i thought that too!
oh my, yes. :)
Run Atreiu run!
This scene makes me feel so unsettled in a good way. Like staring deep down into the ocean
This is the closest we got to a Fallout New Vegas Dead Money movie
To me the bees represent a glimmer of hope in this otherwise bleak and dystopian world.
THIS HOW CALIFORNIA BE LOOKING DAWG
Did I miss something with the bees?
Is Deckard making honey?
And what plants are the bees pollinating?
Yes, Deckard is making honey. The bees are replicants themselves. The hanging platters are for feeding them, though, so that's what they eat to produce honey. There's likely also a symbolic meaning -- another commenter claimed that bees have an association with entering the land of the dead, for example.
Still dont get why people did not go see this in the theaters.
Not the traditional action movie
@Steve Acho Good points Steve. Well said.
yeah... Villeneuve is gonna kill it with DUNE.
Do we know which book he is doing yet? I want to assume it's the first one.
He's doing two movies for the first book
Was half expecting a squad of NCR soldiers to come out of the mist and make a comment about wishing for a nuclear winter.
mongorians22 This kind of reminded me of the Dead Money dlc since everything is so orange and red.
@@Saturnia2014 and malfunctioning holograms of dead celebrities
This sound and this cinematography is awessome
This scene makes all the movie.
I would genuinely like to know if Villeneuve is aware of Fallout/New Vegas. Dead Money specifically.
This part of the movie is the only thing that ever felt like it.
NYC rn
It’s happening in New York City
Bay Area comment passing by
Elvis scene pleas !
Could you upload the scene with Doc Badger? Thank you for all your sharing.
Ah yes California in 2020
New York with the Canadian wildfire haze 😬
2:46 look at those shoes they look very stylish
I'm continuously amazed at the influence of "Fantastic Planet" on the cinema. From "Avatar" to this scene. Those statues remind me of the statues on the Draags' moon.
Someone knows that the hell happened in Las Vegas? the city itself don't seems to have any damage, it's just abandoned.
radiation bomb
The original Blade Runner movie is based on a book, that explains that in a scenario similar to the Fallout video games, there was an enormous nuclear conflict (nuclear war) known as World War Terminus (Terminus meaning it terminated much of society and civilisation) a war so destructive and deadly that no one brings it up. The war created a great deal of nuclear fallout (contaminated dust sucked up by the blasts) that settled on the world and turned much of it cloudy and sooty, polluted it with dust clouds that made virtually everything uninhabitable, not fit to live in.
My guess is Las Vegas wasn’t directly targeted with a nuke in this war, hence why every building is still there, but the dust clouds of radiation made it deadly for people to live there, and they abandoned it, and with the radiation, because of its location in a desert, the sand blew in and added to the desolation, which explains the orange glow of everything.
1:30 even before Dune came out Denis was referencing it. This shot looks like it was inspired by the pain box.
New York today
Literally West Coast right now in 2020
Gutted I didn't get to watch this in cinemas. I've not been since I saw Justice League because it was the most letdown I had ever been bc I was so hyped to see Superman return after really liking MoS and BvS.
If this ever runs again in cinemas, I'm gonna watch it no questions asked. Right now though I'm hyped for Dune.
California today. It's kinda scary how this happen to resemble art.
My god this movie is beautiful.
