“Why… What am I to you” Recall the previous scene when he’s approached by the pink haired girl where she says “oh, you don’t smile” K’s smile towards Dekard says alot One of the most underrated bonds in film, thank you Bladerunner.
Such a beautiful question.....but essentially.....he means nothing to him. And that is what he needed to realize. His point and purpose not only as a replicant.....but a person of self awareness
I think my take on that question is that K Considered deckard his father due to his memories and then he says all the best memories are hers much Alike an older brother breaking the ice and so he lays down Comfortably like a Child laying on his porch peacefully in the snow, K Always Lacked and yearned for family and in the end he sacrificed himself for one
I felt so bad for K, he prolly thought Deckard was his father initially. And now he realizes he's a fake, and Deckard isn't his father and his memories aren't his. In this scene I wanted Deckard to atleast give him a hug, but poor guy 😢
K/Joe didn’t want to be just “another replicant”, he wanted to be something more, so it was devastating to see him learn he wasn’t the child of Rick. But reflecting on the events that happened throughout the movie, Joe did the most human thing to do, and saved Rick to help him reunite with his child. At the conclusion of the movie, Joe ended up becoming a lot more than just “another replicant”. Despite being a replicant, Joe proved he was more human than a lot of humans, and that’s why I love his arc and his character. It’s just so deep and poetic! And this movie is still a masterpiece in 2024 :)
I see it a little differently. I don't think he proved he was "more human" than humans; I think he proved he was what humans aspire to be. In every way. And that's what made it beautiful. But I suppose that's what makes this movie so great, that it can be viewed from so many different lenses.

Blade Runner is a true work of art and is a franchise you can't appreciate on first viewing. The first is a classic and the second is a perfect successor. It doesn't get any better than that
The great thing is that both these movies are masterpieces in themselves and are so alike and yet so very, very different. I don't compare them as each adds to the other.
I didn't realize what was going on when she initially told him it was a real memory earlier in the film. And then this part went over my head too. It took a few years for me to realize they were her memories and they implanted them in him. Such a great film. Saw it in IMAX. Speechless as I walked out of the theater.

I watched the first one a few years ago and I thought it was bland. I had seen it all before: visuals, plot line, subject matter, etc. Of course, _Blade Runner_ can't really be held to account for that, since it did all of that first (maybe not first, but kind of). _2049_ feels new. I haven't seen a movie like this yet. It's more than its predecessor.
A lot of people feel bad for joe, but I think that final scene of him laying down is great. He's happy he's getting to die, have gotten to do something real. Despite him finding out hes not important nor the memory he has is his, he was able to make the decision to believe in something and fill a part of emptiness he had by taking Deckard to meet his daughter. A piece of emptiness replicants aren't made to have. I think that's the main reason he smiled at Deckard when he asked why he did this. There was no reason or explanation for what he decided to do, but just the human fulfillment even we all often feel to be important or significant in our own way. More human than humans.
>He's happy he's getting to die, have gotten to do something real. I think the idea was - he came to the finish, he has no chances to survive alone with such bleeding without immediate ambulance. And there is no chance a rogue cop replicant will have such help in that city. So he just accepts reality and relax. It is like the dinner scene in the beginning, where he pours two glasses and drinkns both. He understands reality.
You know what, now that I think about it. It just made sense out of all the Harrison Ford soft reboot/modern day sequels that this one is the good one. The original was made under many difficulties, didn't perform well, and the studio didn't really understand it. But ultimately the fans did and a team of them was able to make a proper sequel.
Larger world expanded with care, connected to the original, deepening the themes while adding new dimensions. In every way far far far better than it had a right to be. A masterpiece on its own. A lesson in how to do it right as a sequel.
I'm absolutely destroyed after this movie. I've never recovered. And I never will. I related so much to Joi and K. It's the most beautiful and devastating thing I've ever seen.
Denis Villeneuve was initially scared he would do just that. He said "One wrong move would tarnish the original". That's why he was reluctant to direct. Luckily, he reconsidered.
I’ll be honest, I’m 18, and I’ve only seen the first. It’s gained a cult following, similar to the original from what I hear, and I stumbled across that and saw the film. Now I’m terrified that the original won’t live up to the sequel. I’m sure my opinion is wrong but it wrecked me for a few days.
Quite possibly one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies ever made. And as for a sequel, this one is right up there! Amazing movie! Terrific performances from all. Love this movie!
The scene where Luv is directing bombs on the junkyard only lasts for seconds but makes a bigger impression and sticks in the mind more than the hours of none stop mindnumbing mayhem in all Transformer films combined. Less is more
I like how both K and the girl were alone and unwatched and admired the snow falling on their hands. Reminds me of how the director of Ex Machina noted the significance of Ava smiling when no one’s looking once she is free.
Snow sticks though, so not really lost this time. I think this is intentional. K's memories are not lost when he dies since they live on in Deckard's daughter.
I don't consider Blade Runner 2049 to be SUPERIOR to the original, but I do consider it to be a WORTHY sequel to the original. And that's a big compliment, I think.
I can't believe it. I'm crying more tears at K's death than Batty's. The heartbreaking irony of him dying in genuine snow, while Deckard's daughter has to experience fake snow. They couldn't have made a better choice using "Tears In Rain" again. Thank you so much, Hans Zimmer. Rest in eternal piece, Vangelis and Rutger Hauer.
Tears in Rain is the most narratively important choice to make. It defines the death of the second replicant who saves Deckard and is a proper send off.
@@qthestruggler2715 The story and the character of Deckard indeed came full circle thanks to this sequel and especially thanks to Harrison's performance.
Short answer to why K did what he did, he realized he was a mere puppet, and got told lies over lies all his life and played a role for someone else, even with implanted memories and fake girlfriend. He finally woke up and decided to be a person, made a decision on its own.
it makes better sense when you see it on the other side. His superior ordered him to kill the leader of the Replicant resistance. The leader of the Replicant resistance asked him to kill Old Deckard. But in the end he chooses to help an old man find and meet his missing daughter.
Denis did a spectacular job in creating a masterpiece like this. Such a worthy sequel to Scott’s original. I wish it would have been a financial success… Maybe we could have had the story continue…. Even still, this was a joy to behold… Thank You to all involved! 👍🏻🍻❤️😎
Some years ago, I was shocked that critics' lists of the best films of 2010 decade did not gave enough credit for this amazing movie. Nowadays I have the impression that many are rediscovering this, I hope in some years most cinephiles and movie critic realized that is a definitive sci-fict masterpiece which deserves to be appreciated and influential like any of the greatest movies ever made.
The wooden horse represents the bond between a father and child, as did the memory of hiding it away for safekeeping. Through these, K knew what love is, and that's it's worth dying for. He died human.
Saw this opening day, years ago. The film stunned us all, in the audience. I will never forget the two minute standing ovation after the screen went to black, before the credits rolled. Two minutes. . . A masterpiece.
Deckard should have put the wooden horse up against the glass panel instead of his hand -- Stelline would have recognized it instantly and knew she found home.
I do wish they had someone else to play Wallace other than Jared Leto. Otherwise this movie, IN MY OPINION, is the successor to the first film. This movie transcends the theme and the story as time moves forward. Astonishing work on all ends to the creation of this sequel.
I think Leto actually kills his role in this movie. Maybe it’s because he’s playing himself in a way to a exaggerated degree (a rich man with a god complex who believes he’s ascended above all others)
Jared was perfect as Wallace. What is Wallace? He is a wannabe Tyrell, with a god complex, and a serious case of small dick syndrome. Old man Tyrell made a replicant that can have kids. Wallace took over the remains of his business, built a bigger tower above his pyramid, made better and more obedient replicants, and yet he still can't unlock the mysteries of the womb. Hence he acts the way he does. He is frustrated by his symbolic impotence.
Everything K had and loved, which was never very much in a brutal life of servitute, has been taken from him and destroyed. He's been through a traumatic experience where his entire sense of who he is and what meaning his lonely life might have had has been cruelly twisted inside out multiple times. in a matter of minutes he will be dead, and given the nature of the world he inhabited, no-one will mourn for him or miss him. Joi is erased, and poignantly it's not clear how 'real' or conscious she ever was. For K's sake we want hard for at least one living being to have loved him, and some cues hint she may have had an interior reality, but he may also just have been infatuated with a sophisitcated generative toy. Deckard and his daughter may be thankful, but they barely had fleeting contact with K. Apart from the uncertain possibility of Joi, no-one in the entire world ever knew his story and valued it. And after all this bitter lonliness and injustice, with only a few moments left on the clock, K chooses instead of rage, revenge or open grief, to selflessly to show immense compassion and kindness to a stranger without looking for anything in return - even words of thanks. He acts as that which we would call morally good or ethical not for any reward, praise or rescue - utterly none is possible here - but simply because it's an act defining who he wants to be. It's almost unbearably moving.
The downside of the death of K, is that I think Ryan Gosling would do great in many more Blade Runner movies to come. The quality of this movie was so great, I wouldn't mind seeing one or two more movies. Blade Runner haves such an captivating universe, there would me much more to tell about. It wouldn't make sense to make another one with Ryan now, ( "Hey, I am back alive!" ) or make a 'third installment' with another main character. I would def see it, if Villeneuve or Scott made it again, if rumors are true with Amazon, in a form of a TV show, not a movie. But that feeling of sitting through 2 / 3 hours of epicness is different.
The script has Joi asking him to read for her in which he proceeds to recite the poetic lines from "Pale Fire" by Vladimir Nabokov, which were the base lines that he recited earlier during the baseline test: "The blood-black nothingness began to spin.... A system of cells within cells interlinked, within cell interlinked ... within one stem......And dreadfully distinct... against the dark......A tall white fountain played..."
The boy who thought he might be real, only to find out he wasn't, dies knowing he did the most human thing he could do making him more than human. A contrast to the girl who knows shes real, but is forever trapped in a bubble of make belief of her own design, destined to die trapped behind her fantasy constructs.
Its sad "Why... what am i to you?" Deckard is wondering why a replicant is trying so hard for him when he has no dog in this fight. Deckard is looking at a younger version of himself or a possible future if he had a son.
Watching a tight shot of two Hollywood alcoholics' shaking hands is priceless. I wonder if Villeneuve meant to reveal that. Either way, there you go -- this is a city that ends people.
Dekard CANNOT be a replicant because he fathered a daughter, and he had been around for decades as a policeman and then a Blade Runner - Tyrell said only Rachel was "special" from all the other replicants, and that was that she could reproduce and have a real human child.
Your "evidence" is based solely on wishful thinking. And btw Harrison Ford recently came out and confirmed that Deckard is a replicant, there is no debate about this anymore. The "he has been around for decades" is implanted memory. Tyrell lied, the whole point was to see if those nexus 7's could be tricked into believing they are humans, Deckard is a Nexus 7. Nexus 7 was a prototype model, that could mate, it was imperative for Rachel and Deckard to hook up. Replicant's can of course not mate with humans, they only look like us because they are suppose to, they are androids basically.
@@normancarter5419 Harrison Ford finally admitted last year that Deckard was a replicant. There is no debate about this anymore. I knew he was a replicant since early 90's. It's very obvious once you look at the movie without ignoring all the things he goes through. The only reason Harrison Ford and Ridley scott "disagreed" on this for so long, was to underlay the whole core point of the film. Which is this: If you can't tell the difference between a replicant and a human, does it really matter?
@@FabledGentleman Again, Please provide your alleged credible, verifiable evidence to support your statements - links to interviews, media articles, UA-cam postngs, etc.
@@FabledGentleman Provide your evidence of, the link to, the media articles, the interviews on the internet or UA-cam where Harrison Ford admitted that Deckard was a replicant, all I hear or see is writing. Your quote: "I knew he was a replicant since early 90's. It's very obvious once you look at the movie without ignoring all the things he goes through." You are ignoring the movie, you are ignoring all the things Deckard went through, replicants didn't attack other replicants, they helped and protected each other, replicants knew the difference between and who were real people and who were replicants, Batty and Leon and Zhora and Pris could have told Deckard he was a replicant if he was one, you mention about his memories are implants, etc., you IGNORE IN REAL TIME IN THE MOVIE the meetings, discussions, talks, etc., the interactions between and involving Deckard and Bryant and Gaff and his years of service as a policeman, a blade runner, his history with them in the movie in going on in real time, NOT flashbacks, NOT photos like with Rachel. Just the sheer biology of reproduction - you need a sperm and an egg. Again, Tyrell said that Rachel alone was extremely special from all other replicants. All the male replicants don't have the sperm capacity or otherwise they could have sex with a real person and have children. Additionally, Dr. Ana Stelline, Deckard's daughter, is a real person, not the result of 2 replicants.
Kind bunk that he died but also good he didnt have insane plot armor. Something about him had.to be diffrent tho in order to take out Love, Wallace would have.only the best to work as his security and would make sure no one else had such quality replicants.
Sucks the replicant rebellion would have been something. Also I don't think K is dead - or perhaps he could be recreated for Part III (cloned with implants).
This movie is fascinating to me because it brings up in my mind of question such as: if a replicant like K can empathize and can self sacrifice for its perceived greater good over its self perseverance, should they have the same rights as humans?
The concept of fairness has it's roots in eons of in tribalism. An Android wouldn't have that primal need. so sacrificing everything in an act of moral fairness would in fact make K more human than many humans, in reality most replicants would be more pragmatic, since they never were part of a tribal society in which it was critical for survival. It could be programmed but it couldn't be organically learned, because an android would never see it's value.

Well he has some of his daughters memories, so in a sense Deckard is his father. Memories inform basically everything that we are.

@@joshuasantana685 The only one that would truly know that Deckard was a replicant has died in the first movie Dr. Eldon Tyrell R.I.P.
@@joshuasantana685 Like his junk? Can I shape it into a cat?
1:31 this part hit me hard saying are you ok but he's not okay hes suffering him self to die
I was feeling a similar during that moment, and when that Vangelis theme dropped i can admit to feeling it even harder. I had to clear my throat.
Gosling deserved an Oscar for this one scene alone.
Gosh, what a masterpiece
As a devoted Blade Runner fan, I couldn’t have asked for a better sequel.
Tears in the Snow
Great scene!!! Plus the "Tears In The Rain" music in the background!!!
it makes better sense when you see it on the other side. His superior ordered him to kill the leader of the Replicant resistance. The leader of the Replicant resistance asked him to kill Old Deckard. But in the end he chooses to help an old man find and meet his missing daughter.
Top 10 greatest movies ever made...........
The cinematography together with the soundtrack was just 👌👌👌👌 and Villeneuve nailed this
Denis did a spectacular job in creating a masterpiece like this.
Such a worthy sequel to Scott’s original.
I wish it would have been a financial success…
Maybe we could have had the story continue….
Even still, this was a joy to behold…
Thank You to all involved! 👍🏻🍻❤️😎
Some years ago, I was shocked that critics' lists of the best films of 2010 decade did not gave enough credit for this amazing movie. Nowadays I have the impression that many are rediscovering this, I hope in some years most cinephiles and movie critic realized that is a definitive sci-fict masterpiece which deserves to be appreciated and influential like any of the greatest movies ever made.
First, rain was falling. Then snow.
The cleansing power of water.
The wooden horse represents the bond between a father and child, as did the memory of hiding it away for safekeeping. Through these, K knew what love is, and that's it's worth dying for. He died human.
He wasn't a human but lived and died like one.
one of the most depressing things i've ever seen but it is so good.
Saw this opening day, years ago. The film stunned us all, in the audience.
I will never forget the two minute standing ovation after the screen went to black, before the credits rolled. Two minutes. . .
A masterpiece.
So what if K wasn’t "the chooses one", he did everything and the story was more compelling, interesting and better
In the end, he was a real human being, and a real hero
Deckard should have put the wooden horse up against the glass panel instead of his hand -- Stelline would have recognized it instantly and knew she found home.
😢❤❤the final scene is very moving this sequel is a masterpiece
I do wish they had someone else to play Wallace other than Jared Leto. Otherwise this movie, IN MY OPINION, is the successor to the first film. This movie transcends the theme and the story as time moves forward. Astonishing work on all ends to the creation of this sequel.
I think Leto actually kills his role in this movie. Maybe it’s because he’s playing himself in a way to a exaggerated degree (a rich man with a god complex who believes he’s ascended above all others)
Jared was perfect as Wallace. What is Wallace? He is a wannabe Tyrell, with a god complex, and a serious case of small dick syndrome. Old man Tyrell made a replicant that can have kids. Wallace took over the remains of his business, built a bigger tower above his pyramid, made better and more obedient replicants, and yet he still can't unlock the mysteries of the womb. Hence he acts the way he does. He is frustrated by his symbolic impotence.
Ironically Jared Leto being a egomanical creep irl is what made him play this role so well.
@@GrugBonkersHow is he that? Not that I seriously doubt it, but I’m genuinely curious
@@SaveTheBestForUCan you explain? Not that it really surprises me if he isn’t, but genuinely curious
Everything K had and loved, which was never very much in a brutal life of servitute, has been taken from him and destroyed. He's been through a traumatic experience where his entire sense of who he is and what meaning his lonely life might have had has been cruelly twisted inside out multiple times. in a matter of minutes he will be dead, and given the nature of the world he inhabited, no-one will mourn for him or miss him. Joi is erased, and poignantly it's not clear how 'real' or conscious she ever was. For K's sake we want hard for at least one living being to have loved him, and some cues hint she may have had an interior reality, but he may also just have been infatuated with a sophisitcated generative toy. Deckard and his daughter may be thankful, but they barely had fleeting contact with K. Apart from the uncertain possibility of Joi, no-one in the entire world ever knew his story and valued it. And after all this bitter lonliness and injustice, with only a few moments left on the clock, K chooses instead of rage, revenge or open grief, to selflessly to show immense compassion and kindness to a stranger without looking for anything in return - even words of thanks. He acts as that which we would call morally good or ethical not for any reward, praise or rescue - utterly none is possible here - but simply because it's an act defining who he wants to be. It's almost unbearably moving.
Cinematography is just magical.
I cried gallons during this movie. I'm so sorry for K. 😢😢😢😢
He made those stairs really comfortable.
Did not have high expectations for this sequel, but all in all, I thought they did a commendable job.
“Commendable” lmao this is one of the best sequels ever made.
It was a great movie, with a commendable connection to the first...
dafuq you mean commendable?!
This was way better than the original.
Sad both the original and this sequel didn't do well in the box office.
@Cypher45 Maybe work on your vocabulary there special Ed 😆
do you twats know what commendable means??? you're acting like he called it shite 😭
All the best memories are hers. I just friggin meditate to that track.
masterpiece
Like the first Blade Runner, this sequel made me rethink how we should view science fiction.
Like tears in the snow.
Tears in rain theme to add the final tribute to a classic
As y’all guys saw, I lied in there in the snow, quite cold but, beautiful.
Since this is the time to die music from the original it relates back to Roy
What a love letter. Gods this films power is palpable.
K, you did matter! Now dream your own eternal dreams...
The downside of the death of K, is that I think Ryan Gosling would do great in many more Blade Runner movies to come. The quality of this movie was so great, I wouldn't mind seeing one or two more movies. Blade Runner haves such an captivating universe, there would me much more to tell about. It wouldn't make sense to make another one with Ryan now, ( "Hey, I am back alive!" ) or make a 'third installment' with another main character. I would def see it, if Villeneuve or Scott made it again, if rumors are true with Amazon, in a form of a TV show, not a movie.
But that feeling of sitting through 2 / 3 hours of epicness is different.
Who's to say he died? We don't know if he died or not.
There are other K’s he isn’t unique.
he dies. its very clear. he bled out. @@jaywilson4520
@@jaywilson4520He’s clearly shown taking his last breath.
He could if the story continued he'd be cloned
just like in the first film the ending of joe is has subtle in the snow has Rutgers character in the rain
after K lays down on the steps, his lips move as he silently says something, id love to know what it was 3:21
The script has Joi asking him to read for her in which he proceeds to recite the poetic lines from "Pale Fire" by Vladimir Nabokov, which were the base lines that he recited earlier during the baseline test: "The blood-black nothingness began to spin.... A system of cells within cells interlinked, within cell interlinked ... within one stem......And dreadfully distinct... against the dark......A tall white fountain played..."
He says "bird is the word"
@@imnottellingyoumyname3050 nah, thats not it
Such a beautiful and sad ending.
Sometimes to love someone, you gotta be a stranger - and thats exactly what K did.
Lost, like dandruff in snow...
Perfect Cinema. Thankyou
The boy who thought he might be real, only to find out he wasn't, dies knowing he did the most human thing he could do making him more than human. A contrast to the girl who knows shes real, but is forever trapped in a bubble of make belief of her own design, destined to die trapped behind her fantasy constructs.
Its sad "Why... what am i to you?"
Deckard is wondering why a replicant is trying so hard for him when he has no dog in this fight. Deckard is looking at a younger version of himself or a possible future if he had a son.
It’s is the privilege of a lesser man to light the flame for what comes next
A Face on a Lover with a Fire in his Heart, A Man undercover but you tore me apart 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
It,s sadness moment when K is die
Probably the only sequel ever to be better than the original. It's close tho
The Godfather, Dark Knight, Captain America and Star Wars Franchises all spectacularly disagreeing with this statement.
Don’t forget Toy Story.
Fury Road
Watching a tight shot of two Hollywood alcoholics' shaking hands is priceless. I wonder if Villeneuve meant to reveal that. Either way, there you go -- this is a city that ends people.
Dekard CANNOT be a replicant because he fathered a daughter, and he had been around for decades as a policeman and then a Blade Runner - Tyrell said only Rachel was "special" from all the other replicants, and that was that she could reproduce and have a real human child.
Your "evidence" is based solely on wishful thinking. And btw Harrison Ford recently came out and confirmed that Deckard is a replicant, there is no debate about this anymore. The "he has been around for decades" is implanted memory. Tyrell lied, the whole point was to see if those nexus 7's could be tricked into believing they are humans, Deckard is a Nexus 7. Nexus 7 was a prototype model, that could mate, it was imperative for Rachel and Deckard to hook up. Replicant's can of course not mate with humans, they only look like us because they are suppose to, they are androids basically.
@@FabledGentleman Please provide your evidence to support your statements.
@@normancarter5419 Harrison Ford finally admitted last year that Deckard was a replicant. There is no debate about this anymore. I knew he was a replicant since early 90's. It's very obvious once you look at the movie without ignoring all the things he goes through.
The only reason Harrison Ford and Ridley scott "disagreed" on this for so long, was to underlay the whole core point of the film. Which is this: If you can't tell the difference between a replicant and a human, does it really matter?
@@FabledGentleman Again, Please provide your alleged credible, verifiable evidence to support your statements - links to interviews, media articles, UA-cam postngs, etc.
@@FabledGentleman Provide your evidence of, the link to, the media articles, the interviews on the internet or UA-cam where Harrison Ford admitted that Deckard was a replicant, all I hear or see is writing. Your quote: "I knew he was a replicant since early 90's. It's very obvious once you look at the movie without ignoring all the things he goes through." You are ignoring the movie, you are ignoring all the things Deckard went through, replicants didn't attack other replicants, they helped and protected each other, replicants knew the difference between and who were real people and who were replicants, Batty and Leon and Zhora and Pris could have told Deckard he was a replicant if he was one, you mention about his memories are implants, etc., you IGNORE IN REAL TIME IN THE MOVIE the meetings, discussions, talks, etc., the interactions between and involving Deckard and Bryant and Gaff and his years of service as a policeman, a blade runner, his history with them in the movie in going on in real time, NOT flashbacks, NOT photos like with Rachel.
Just the sheer biology of reproduction - you need a sperm and an egg. Again, Tyrell said that Rachel alone was extremely special from all other replicants. All the male replicants don't have the sperm capacity or otherwise they could have sex with a real person and have children. Additionally, Dr. Ana Stelline, Deckard's daughter, is a real person, not the result of 2 replicants.
Kind bunk that he died but also good he didnt have insane plot armor. Something about him had.to be diffrent tho in order to take out Love, Wallace would have.only the best to work as his security and would make sure no one else had such quality replicants.
I am a syfy nut. This and the first movie are, to me, the greatest movies of all times.
I can not wait for the next movie.
Sucks the replicant rebellion would have been something. Also I don't think K is dead - or perhaps he could be recreated for Part III (cloned with implants).
when they play the same "Tears in Rain" theme as Roy's monologue in the first movie
The sequel may not have done well at the box office but like the first movie, it be recognised later as one of the all time greats
This movie is fascinating to me because it brings up in my mind of question such as: if a replicant like K can empathize and can self sacrifice for its perceived greater good over its self perseverance, should they have the same rights as humans?
Quite possibly the greatest sequel ever made.
.....like tears in the snow
The concept of fairness has it's roots in eons of in tribalism. An Android wouldn't have that primal need. so sacrificing everything in an act of moral fairness would in fact make K more human than many humans, in reality most replicants would be more pragmatic, since they never were part of a tribal society in which it was critical for survival. It could be programmed but it couldn't be organically learned, because an android would never see it's value.
The whole Movie is an Art. Too bad the plebs and commons did not understand the purity of this Film.
I'm so dumb to believe that K was a real human, he literally got smashed through a wall in the first scene, lmao.
They have name over front door? Awesome. Worried might be mistaken for post office.
The power of Vangelis soundtrack 👌
He wanted to be human, he thought he was special, but he wasn't.. Making him like everyone else.
