  I think you should give Gattaca (1997) a shot. Very thoughtful science fiction.

  It actually makes sense that the born daughter of Rachel is immunocompromised. In making adults only Replicants don&apos;t develop, so they have a preset, rugged, simple immune system because theyre programmed that way from the factory, But when a child is born they DEVELOP their own immune system. And during oart if that process, normal human babies are VERY vulnerable, and part of that development involves getting their mother&apos;s antibodies from their mother&apos;s milk. They probably also get skin flora from their mother, and interact with the germs in the benign home environment... but if rachel managed to BEAR a child but couldnt naturally hand down an organically developed immune system, and then died, and the child was moved around a lot, put in aj orphanage surrounded by radiation, etc... it&apos;s possible that she developed a dysfunctional immune system, having neither a manufactured one, nor a fully inherited one, and a rough childhood.<br><br>Just speculating. I think it makes sense.

  I actually think the tears in rain theme was used perfectly in the sequel. In the original the replicant shows deckard his humanity by saving his Life. In the Sequel it’s kinda the same, he saves his life and reunites him with his Daughter, although he has no stakes in it. So despite him not being the child, he shows empathy and (probably) dies in the snow. I cried when the theme started, and immediately thought they couldn’t have used it better.

  I was Floored by how good this sequel was. The fact that we can even debate which one is better says a lot. I grew up with the original but I think 2049 is better.<br>Excellent breakdown BTW. I appreciate the opinion of someone that truly loves the original

  K did get to see a miracle in the end. The question Deckard asks, &quot;Why do you care?&quot; goes unanswered so we could answer it. His death meant something.

  Wallace both figuratively and literally sees the world through the eyes of a machine.

  I like that the slavery theme from the first Blade Runner is carried over and expanded on. &nbsp;During Wallace&apos;s &quot;new model&quot; monologue he says, &quot;We make angels in the service of civilization.&quot; and &quot;We lost our stomach for slaves unless engineered.&quot; &nbsp;Later, the orphanage is revealed and we are shown that there are still plenty of human &quot;angels&quot; being used as slaves in the dark corners of civilization. &nbsp;The replicants aren&apos;t being created to replace human slavery, they are just another form of it.

  Hair on the back of my arms stood up with the horse furnace scene, and I shed a tear when he learned he wasn&apos;t the child, and had only seen what he wanted from the obscured record trail. I also loved that what first seems like a typical movie massive coincidence plot hole isn&apos;t: hundreds, maybe thousands of replicants have that implanted memory.

  The sheep at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwVSWA-Jd9M&amp;t=755">12:35</a> is in homage to the 1968 novel by Philip K. Dick &nbsp;that inspired the first Blande Runner film: &nbsp;Do Androids dream of Electric SHEEP. 😃

  I respect the hell out of you for postponing your review. Talk about integrity! I felt exactly the same way after watching BR2049 for the first time, and I do mean exactly. And deep down in my gut I knew I wasn&apos;t being fair, so I abstained from shitting on the sequel in online forums. ^^ I took my time, watched it again and learned to appreciate what a one-in-a-million film this actually is: a worthy sequel to a timeless masterpiece that created a film genre. Especially in this day and age where everything gets remade, rebooted, reimagined or gets a shitty sequel by talentless hacks who aren&apos;t fit to shine the shoes of those greater creators whose coattails they&apos;re riding because they can&apos;t create anything of value. In this day and age, BR2049 stops being merely outstanding and actually becomes what Sapper talked about: a miracle.
