#CARLA JURI AS DR. ANA STELLINE MOVIE#

Instead, he facilitates a reunion between Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) and his daughter, Dr Ana Stelline (Carla Juri) - the real child born of a replicant - who has used her memories of her time in hiding after Rick and his comrades faked her death to hide her in order to make the recollections that make K feel more human. But though the answer to the question of his origins ultimately does matter in Blade Runner 2049, the very process of K's investigation has the effect of making him a real boy - or at least a realer boy than he was when he mindlessly accepted assignments from Lieutenant Joshi (Robin Wright).Īnd when K learns that he is really a replicant and that his memories are not his own, he doesn't rage against his fate, nor does he automatically accept an assignment from Freysa (Hiam Abbass), a replicant revolutionary disguising herself as a madam. Because he's functionally a detective, K pursues the question methodically and doggedly, never fully embracing the idea that he is the child who was so carefully spirited away.

The movie deals with the tremulous awakening of K's hopes and curiosity about his memories. To its credit, Blade Runner 2049 is concerned with K's quest to discover whether his suspicion is actually true, rather than immediately confirming it and plunging him into the sort of story we've seen so many times before. And for K, the revelation opens up the possibility that some of the memories that he has always believed were implants designed to make him think and behave in a more realistic fashion are actually real, and that by extension, he might be the miracle that Sapper Morton spoke of before he died. Though they're widely believed to be sterile, a replicant, now dead, gave birth to a living child.įor industrialist Niander Wallace (Jared Leto), the news is an opportunity to make replicant production more efficient. One of his assignments, to kill a replicant named Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista, who amazingly enough has become an actor I affirmatively look forward to seeing in everything) who has been living a quiet, underground life as a protein farmer, leads K to a startling piece of information. When we first meet K (Ryan Gosling), he's an advanced-model replicant whose work is retiring - which of course means killing - earlier-model replicants who haven't been perfectly programmed to obey. Instead, Blade Runner 2049 is a highly personal story about what it means to discover that you aren't the main character in a narrative. But though broadly I think some of these critiques have merit, these elements of Blade Runner 2049 didn't bother me very much, because these characters generally take up as much as spaces as they should on-screen.įor all its grand visual scope, Blade Runner 2049 isn't a story about the society it depicts, or even the replicant revolution brewing in the movie's margins. There has been a lot of discussion of Blade Runner 2049's female characters, and whether they're overdeveloped or underdeveloped, whether they exist simply as fantasy decorative objects or plot devices. But now that you've all had a chance to see it - though far too few of you actually have - I wanted to dive into my favourite aspect of it in slightly more detail. Because my colleagues and I were strictly enjoined from telling you much about Blade Runner 2049 in advance of the movie's premiere, I ended up writing some fairly vague praise of the movie.
