"There are no heroes. There are only heroic decisions." - Edward Snowden
Having nothing to do on a Friday night, I decided it was finally time to watch Blade Runner 2049.
I must say I have not watched the first movie yet. But I had heard about Blade Runner 2049 a lot. By videos on cinematography, Pinterest boards, and from my cousin who was the last push for me to watch it.
I know I’m a little late to the party because the movie has been out since 2017.

Synopsis
Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years after the original film and follows a new blade runner, an LAPD officer named K,who unravels a long-buried secret that could result in an all out war between the humans and the replicants. Ordered by his superior to destroy the evidence, K's journey leads to a confrontation with a long missing former LAPD blade runner Rick Deckard.

My favorite thing about the movie is it feels like a movie, as Harry Styles would put it.
This movie has to be the best I’ve watched in a while. I don’t watch many because I find it hard to concentrate but Blade Runner 2049 had me hooked from beginning to end.
The cinematography was perfect. The colors, the settings, the lighting was so well coordinated I would’ve watched even if there was no plot or dialogue.
Same goes for the soundtrack. If it’s by Hans Zimmer it has to be perfect, he can never miss. The music gave emotions to all the director's shot and made the whole experience realer.
What made the movie feel complete was the performance. The cast which included Ryan Gosling , Harrison Ford (from the prequel Blade Runner ), Anna de Armas, Robin Wright, Jared Leto,Mackenzie Davis and Sylvia Hoeks did their best and none fell short.
Ryan Gosling did an amazing job portraying the emotions he wasn’t supposed to have as a replicant. It was his performance I think that made K’s journey and experience so touchable and relatable.
The plot twist at the end really was a punch to the face. That and the billboard Joy scene right after gutted me emotionally.
!Spoiler ahead!
In the end even though Joe was insignificant, he sacrificed himself for something significant It was not the revolution he cared for, it was something deeper, something meaningful to him. He did it for family. He brought a father and a daughter together, something he longed for himself. The human connection he so much craved.
I would sell my soul to be able to watch it again for the first time.
(This is my first review ever so please be kind to me.)
Blade Runner 2049 is a special film for me, in my beginnings in this platform I didn't know what to do and when I saw this movie I decided to write about it and that led me to review films in Hive.
Soon I will see this film again and I will review it again, since my first time was chaotic, many ideas and little order.
Denis Villeneuve does a great job, he tells a perfect story between an investigation and self-discovery, the doubts of knowing what is real and what is not; this film is a great sequel and I regret that an immediate sequel has not been made although maybe in a year we will see the series that will be a continuation of what happens in this film.

Blade Runner is indeed a masterpiece. As I thought about writing the review I felt so small in comparison to the movie. What experience do I have and what do I know about movies to start writing on something that great?
Hive is still very unfamiliar to me and I still haven't figured out how to write consistently or even what to write about. I was overthinking this review, writing and rewriting it in different ways, but at least it was something. Something I made. Reading the reviews on this community I feel embarrassed of mine to be honest. But hopefully, I'll get there someday.
I'm looking forward to reading your review.
Thank you for making me feel welcomed!
