![]() I thought the film was brilliant, one of the year’s best and I am lucky to be able to say that I have had my review of it published on Buzz Magazine. In this sense the themes of Blade Runner: 2049 are a natural progression from the questions of the original film but also fitting to 2017. The ability to communicate and form long lasting relationships is a core concern of our times. ![]() so these thoughts were with me when I wrote the above. I saw Blade Runner: 2049 not long after ploughing through the first season of Westworld which very much is about slaves revolting. So are going to set her free to maybe still live with you? What waits for her outside and you? You see you wanted her to be real and now she is but your capacity to deal with that is most likely limited because real relationships are difficult for you which is why all those years before you got her but a real relationship is what you wanted. When that happens though, when she can really form all her own thoughts, dreams and curiousities how she is going to feel about your apartment? Is she going to still say all those perfect responses you didn’t even know you wanted to hear? At one point are you going to be keeping her a prisoner unable to live her own life? At one point is she going to be a slave and what do slaves do? They revolt. So they’ll make another model and another one and pretty soon one day she might be real because she’ll have a complete consciousness. It’s not real and you want her to be real. At the back of your mind something tells you this is too perfect. She looks perfect and she says whatever you want to hear knowing it before you do. So she immediately changes her mind and tells you she wants to watch TV. She suggests you dance but you don’t want to dance. Nobody in the family says that, no friend, no one at work but this perfect looking creature does. So you switch on a hologram who looks like a movie star who tells you you’re great. You’ve been alone a long time, no partner, no prospects at that shitty job you go to every day past all those people who hate you on the other side of that door. There’s no family to call, no friends you’re sure really care. Outside everybody seems to hate you, just metres away on the other side of the door. You’re in your apartment, it has been a rough day.
