Kills me that Villeneuve said he's never doing a film like that again because of how underappreciated it is by the mass market, he's just sticking to easier to absorb concepts for the wider audience appeal. 2049 is absolutely slept on
i never saw it because i thought it was another shitty hollywood reboot/remake, and also i hadn't seen the first movie. but i watched 2049 and was blown away, i liked it so much that i watched the first one afterwards, but I am so disappointed that i never saw it in the cinemas :(
@@TheCosmicFailure hey, mission impossible films are good. Cruise puts his all into every movie he makes and honestly, each one is better than the last
I agree, it was really sad (knowing that his name was just in her program). But man, when this evil bitch crushed her in front of him, I swear... It felt like the whole universe collapsed in a second T_T Especially after hearing her last words before she disappeared forever...
Ramzy eh it’s not for everyone. It’s definitely very slow and boring but it more than makes up for it in how beautiful the cinematography is like the movie just looks straight stunning and the acting is extremely good. Also the story is really damn good but it definitely could of used some more action
@MAST3RCHIEF 98 this movie has a lot of boring action, you can't compare this movie to the masterpiece of the first movie. That's why people didnt watch it... reviewers also were not pleased. The movie was made to entertain people of fast and furious. that was the problem. Not people who really found the first movie a classic for what it was. too many explosions, too many shootings, too much noise and so little exploration of that wonderful cyberpunk world.
this movie murders me, man. i think its so relevant even today with how lonely we all are when we are more connected than ever. when she says "you imagined it was you? aww.. you did? we all wish it was us" i was jus hurting with him, man.
I wouldn't say underrated, its a well recieved film. Critics and general audience loved it, just not many people seen it and that's why it's overlooked, also Roger Deakins who is a Cinematographer of this film Won his first Oscar for this film and this movie was also Nominated for 2 or 3 more Oscars but lost out, so it's definitely isn't underrated.
feels like a cult classic to me already. I havent found many people who liked this movie and few that I've got to watch it actually liked it. But its hands down in my top 3 favorite movies of all time.
"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Still makes me cry now, what an amazing actor, what an amazing scene. Such an amazing movie.
@@cyberhermit1222 let's pretend you're the right eye and I'm the left one xd I don't think we're going to get a 4h version or a sequel until around 2049, unless the animated series does well
I was born on October 6th. I saw this movie on the midnight release in an empty theatre. I will never fucking forget how this movie made me feel. I left the theatre, backed against the wall and let out a breath that I felt like I was holding in for the entire film. Then I sat on the side walk with my head in my hands and sobbed. For 5 minutes. I have never ever ever felt that before in my life. That was the greatest experience of my life. Thank god for cinema.
I fully understand the sentiment. And I feel it. But I'm fully aware that the exact same idea can be used to rationalize horrible things, e.g. terrorism. All of the issues raised by this movie are absolutely huge.
It pisses me off to no end to think we may never get another movie like this because people rather spend money on ridiculous nonsense then on real work of art.
This film communicates something incredibly deep and nuanced, and there are certainly parts which will illicit different conclusions from different people. For me, the film is saying that, we all long to be special in some way or another. We feel that we are missing something, and if only we could just discover it, we would be happy, and our existence would be validated. K believes for a long time that he is special - and he is worth something in the world, but the true crux of the film is that he realises that he isn't, and that he was never the 'main character'. But the beautiful conclusion that is reached is that your existence is valid and important, simply because you are conscious. You can feel emotion, you can feel the cold snow, and there was never anything else that you needed to be or to have. Existence = Identity.
I've always felt that way; that no other creature on earth feels the need to justify its existence except humans. I don't need to make excuses or give reasons for my existence. I live!
Wow! Thank you for this beautiful perspective. "... there was never anything else that you needed to be or to have." If we all realized this on the gut level, there would be nothing but peace everywhere.
This video feels timeless. I can't believe we get to enjoy a Blade Runner tribute this good. The pace of the video feels so calming. You took your time with a movie that takes his time but you gave it the dynamic feeling you needed to to create something that goes way beyond my understanding. You gave this song your own rhythm which I find admirable. Your use of some scenes and those SFX highlighted some shots without diminishing the others by keeping the momentum going. The beauty of this made me want it to never end. A flawless and delicate work in the details and construction once again. Thank you, you understand movies deeper than anyone else and it's always a pleasure to watch them through your eyes.
There seriously aren’t many consistently impressive video artists like you, Slyfer. The editing, music choice, scene selections, background dialogue...all so masterfully put into place to tell a story. Great freaking work!
meh, its all so easy to make sugar sweet when its naturally there. Denis Villeneuve should take all the credit for creating each scene into a stand alone art piece.
I watched Blade Runner back in 1982. I've seen literally thousands of movies since then, of all genres. Blade Runner has remained my undisputed favorite. It effected me on a level that I've never experienced before or since. I've watched it at least a hundred times since it came out. I never thought I'd find a movie that was it's equal. As a general rule, sequels suck. 2049 is that rare exception. I absolutely love this movie. It has the exact same feel, the exact same emotional depth and intensity as the original. I was happy to see Harrison Ford, Edward James Olmos,and Sean Young reprise their roles. This movie deserved so much more fanfare than it received. I will be watching both movies, back to back for many years to come.
@@alechall7082 Shiiiiit...the acting 'isn't great' in a TON of life-changing movies. Which roles do you think weren't portrayed well in this movie specifically?
I'm flabbergasted. It is a masterpiece. Can tell anything else. I'm sad about the "fail" and about what Villeneuve is still nightmaring about this film. It is a genius movie. THIS is cinema.
I've seen this film so many times but it only just occurred to me how much Joi pushed the idea of him being the child onto him. "Everything you want to hear"...
oh. my. god. this was beautiful. i have never seen this film but the use of shots, music, and audio was just phenomenal. fantastic job slyfer, continue to inspire and create videos that us fellow editors can look up to.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Fantastic work again! "All those moments will be lost in time, like... tears in rain." Orgasmic! Thank you so much for making masterpice on such great movies. Keep going man. Thank you!
Well...It IS 2h and 44min...And it a 2h and 44min THINKING Movie. That's 2h and 44min that your BRAIN has to be turned ON! That's asking A LOT of people. "#2017!" When they can watch the "Master Peace" that is "Cats." for an 1h 50min. (I give up.)
There is still hope the original BR wasnt a hit at first either. My hope is that this stunning piece of cinema follows a similar path to cinematic immortality.
I can't even find words to describe how amazing this is. Blade Runner 1982 and 2049 are my favourite movies and seeing this MASTERPIECE is just mesmerizing. Thanks Slyfer for doing this wonderful job and bringing it for people on youtube. THANKS
I genuinely feel K’s loneliness through this edit and the film, beautiful interpretation of a lonely soul, one that walks through life and one that can’t feel genuine connection
3:24 My heart breaks apart Every - Single - Time I see this sequence dude... That moment when you instantly stop breathing and your brain stop to work for a few seconds before sending you directly into a state of anesthesia, because the level of pain is just too hight to be felt anymore... GOD... DAMN IT !!!!
so many people write about the film, but so few people write about such a high-quality work that Slyfer2812 has done, people simply have no gratitude, it's a masterpiece
I’ve never seen this movie and still this edit moves me. The snow in these scenes... snow has always signified ending for me. I suppose that’s why I dread it so much. Most people, most kids, think of Christmas or snowball fights... but all I see is death. Something ends, the world stops spinning, time stops... and all we can do is sit there, frozen, thinking of what we’re losing and how there’s nothing we can do about it. Like we’re stuck in a realm between life and death. I know this is some really sappy, dramatic stuff, but it describes exactly what I feel every time it snows. I guess that says a lot about me.
You may not believe it, but I have been watching this video for several months and almost every day, and in a day it can be played on repeat 50-100 times
The scenes from the first movie were on point. Roy Batty's speech is really something else. It's so nostalgic to watch it here. A true masterpiece. Great job.
This is the most underappreciated movie ever. The message is astounding. The score is 10/10. Gosling shines more than ever. Cinematography is perfect. It may be confusing but when you understand it you relate to it so much. One day people will look back and understand the beauty this movie possesses.
I'm 40 years old and never saw the first Blade Runner. I knew it was an important film that had a cult following. I was in the theater when the trailer for 2049 came out (trailer 3) and I thought it was so well done (including the music) that I was blown away and wanted to know this story. I went to watch the original shortly after and enjoyed it. Very unique. I saw 2049 in the theater the day after its debut. When it was over, it left me sitting in my seat for a while. The rest of the evening I just kept thinking about life - meaning, purpose, love, the difficult and complex nature of reality etc. The original was great but 2049 just really grabbed me. I love this film and consider it the greatest sci-fi next to Terminator 2 and Aliens. The film score was magnificent too. I ended up writing a summation after having seen it a second time: "There was no real decoy. It was purely on paper. K/Joe is utterly, completely, unequivocally unremarkable, thus his name, Joe... as in Average Joe. Joi does not possess a soul. She is completely fake. She is the other side of the Replicant coin and is made solely to please and coddle her owner/lover. Her entire branding scheme is that she'll be anything you want. Joi is K's fleeting dream of being special -- to be human, or as he put it, "to have a soul" -- so she always reinforced this to him. Just before Luv crushed her emanator she made sure in her final moment to tell him that she loved him. Wallace posed a question about whether Deckard was moved by love or by programming. To me there's no doubt whatsoever Deckard is fully human. The original movie is about a bad man finding his humanity through the grace of a machine. Wallace's question is not a literal "Are you human or machine?" question, but pondering what the difference is; if love is just neurochemistry, and if we are products of biological programming or something higher, like a soul. The ultimate takeaway is that it really doesn't matter. In fact the only thing that matters is what we choose to do with our lives. We find and create our own meaning and purpose. In summary, 2049 is about dreams and delusions. K wants desperately to feel special so Joi tells him this constantly and he quickly assumes all the evidence points to him because it's his dream. He becomes deluded and forces himself into the situation even as it destroys him. He thinks this is what it means to be human - to grapple with one's humanity. Then upon meeting Freysa, K comes to learn that in fact he is not special after all. Not born but manufactured. He is torn between two sides telling him what his identity is and should be; the LAPD who informs his identity as that of a slave, and the resistance which informs his identity as that of a free Replicant. When K comes across the giant pink Joi on the bridge, she says to him "You look like a good Joe". He then realizes that not even the name his Joi gave him was special. Her feelings for him were never real... just programming. K, at this point an emotionally heartbroken broken Replicant. It is in this moment that he chooses to follow his own path and not let anyone tell him who he is or what he should do. He makes the most human decision of all and takes his life into his own hands. He saves Deckard for the same reason Roy did in the first Blade Runner. He wanted someone to remember him, for his final decision that fully validates him as human to not be in vain. No one else gave him his identity, only he did, and his sacrifice ensured forever that he was by every metric a human being, even if the world would ultimately forget him."
Slyfer thank you so much for doing this theme! The Blade Runner 2 is seriously underacknowledged and underrepresented, despite being a truly astonishingly amazing movie
Honestly, between Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, I can tell Denis Devilleneuve made amongst the most beatiful piece of art in science-fiction in this last two decades. I am so hyped for Dune !
Perhaps we might find that all of this has been real for quite some time. On the flip side it’s always a pleasure to find so many others that love Bladerunner and who appreciate the cyberpunk aesthetics or the deeper concepts of what already is or might soon be. Thank you
I love the rare feeling i get when a vid is uploaded cause i know its gonna be good no matter the type of video from this channel. This is the only channel i get excited for when something is finally released. Tnx Slyfer
Just perfect, definitely my favourite blade runner vid. The quote along with the scene at 1:54 is just perfect, song choice is also phenomenal. Sound effects are all perfectly placed as well and the ending is absolutely mesmerizing, love this so much!
The best Blade Runner edit from TH-cam I've ever seen! Thanks for your job. These movies and their soundtrack are simply amazing! Vangelis and Zimmer did amazing work. Rachael's Song, Love Theme, Tears in Rain from Vangelis, and Someone Loved This from Zimmer are my favorite ones.
What a masterpiece of an edit. A masterpiece of a film. A masterpiece of a story. It truly terrifies me, that something as magnificent of Bladerunner 2049 flopped. A true crime, and a sad statement about the future of hard sci-fi.
I am in love with Denis Villeneuve movies. Really. U would love to see them 3 or 4 hours straight. I dont care about these mass oriented blockbusters..most of my friends dont understand that.. they found Dune boring. I feel sorry for them because, these movies are masterpiece. And the longer they are the more precious they are. So much thought, so much value in each set of them.. i really can watch this material forever, each time finding smth new. Thank you Dennis, once again for bringing the hope to cinema and so much pleasure for me. You are a genius
This movie touches on so many things that are so relevant to today. Human loneliness, the struggle agains the elite, fighting your own kind because youve been pit against one another, the need to be a hero in your own story. heartbreaking and very human.
Man... I've watched it 3-4 times before I could bring myself to comment. Wow. Firstly, the pacing of edit was done to top level, one you'd expect of the best professionals. The use of effects throughouts to create a rythem the balanced out the actions and sshots throughout created an immersive chills-worthy experience for the viewer. Infact, the pacing was done to such perfection you never found your self feeling rushed or going too slow... you felt appreciative of each and every shot, dialog and effect throughout. And then it came to end at a great pace too and left me in awe of what I just witnessed. Secondly, the sound was so crispy and clear, the use of any ducking, or effects with the song was seemlessly sowned together. Not one single issue with any sound throughout. I was wearing my expensive headset which even the best edit picks out the slightest issues and I could not hear a single fuck up in any second of this video. Phenonemal. Thirdly, as a fan of Blade runner, the way you executed to tell a story and emotion was truly immersive again. One of your many talents is taking a movie and creating a small masterpiece to either tell the story of a movie, an emotion or a character study and rn im left very impressed by your creation here. I can only be called art. Finally, the innovation, the idea to play with sound and create a tempo and pushing forward what is known in the community of editing. Its an incredibly impressive trait you have, and you do it so so so succesfully every time. I cannot stress enough the love I have for your work, how proud I am of your final products and work ethic and overall how you continue to impress me despite me being an avid follower of yours for a LONG ass time. Well done my friend, as always you have uploaded an incredible video and a wonderful push in the right direction for editing and its potential.
One thing that i think is criminally overlooked is that his AI girlfriend also found her humanity on this journey. Its hard to put youre finger on it but you can see in her actions that she is not just a maschine, just like him. that last atempt to truly tell him I LOVE YOU was unnecesarry for a maschine but very necesarry for a human beeing that knows it will lose the only one she truly ever loved forever. It was like a cry for help, a please dont go :( that makes her very very human.
I totally agree, she and him were equals in every way and just as conscious and human, people think she was just another copy but she evolved beyond that just like K evolved beyond his being just a manufactured life form, both of them became more human than most .
This editing is flawless and has given life to the film (I felt more empathy and connection to him in this montage). Even though I LOVE this film and its themes, it did lack a certain vitality of emotion and expression; but with this editing as conveyed through the overtures of their dialogue juxtaposed with other scenes especially in that opening... and condensing this story to more of an urgency of self discovery rather than being drawn out for mystery... maybe that was the trade-off, but regardless; this was gripping, just gripping; thank you.
This was incredible. I loved Blade Runner, and Blade Runner 2049 was such an incredible sequel. I liked that we had this 'the one' narrative that turned out not to be true, I loved the world building and the aesthetics, I loved how Joi was the most 'human' character in the film. This was a wonderful video. Hopefully we'll a Dune one from you soon.
Kills me that Villeneuve said he's never doing a film like that again because of how underappreciated it is by the mass market, he's just sticking to easier to absorb concepts for the wider audience appeal. 2049 is absolutely slept on
Sure, but then he turned around and is working on Dune. So much for that "promise." :)
I’m sooo excited for Dune, the cinematographer may not be Deakins but his work on Rogue One was really good
i never saw it because i thought it was another shitty hollywood reboot/remake, and also i hadn't seen the first movie. but i watched 2049 and was blown away, i liked it so much that i watched the first one afterwards, but I am so disappointed that i never saw it in the cinemas :(

It's a shame that a masterpiece like this fails, but we get 9 fast and fourius movies

It's a shame no one watched Blade Runner 2049, I saw it 3 times in theaters and all 3 there were just a handful of people.
A moment of silence for you
You must see this movie (we'll hold off on your punishment if you say you'll see it...soon, mind you)
;)
Mark Zambelli i’ll watch it soon ;)

As beautiful as the film itself. One of my favorite films of all time.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Fantastic work again! "All those moments will be lost in time, like... tears in rain." Orgasmic! Thank you so much for making masterpice on such great movies. Keep going man. Thank you!
His reaction to finding out the memory is real... I can watch it a thousand times and still get chills.
I thought it was the opposite, that it wasn’t real? That why he say “ I know it’s real” 😢
Masterpiece of a movie. It’s unbelievable that people didn’t go see movie and go see garbage
I was lucky to see it in an almost empty cinema. It completely matched the feeling of that world.
Well...It IS 2h and 44min...And it a 2h and 44min THINKING Movie. That's 2h and 44min that your BRAIN has to be turned ON! That's asking A LOT of people. "#2017!" When they can watch the "Master Peace" that is "Cats." for an 1h 50min. (I give up.)
Very harsh words towards MCU fans...
Think about how dumb the average person is. Now understand that half of all people, are even dumber than that...
There is still hope the original BR wasnt a hit at first either. My hope is that this stunning piece
of cinema follows a similar path to cinematic immortality.
I can't even find words to describe how amazing this is. Blade Runner 1982 and 2049 are my favourite movies and seeing this MASTERPIECE is just mesmerizing.
Thanks Slyfer for doing this wonderful job and bringing it for people on youtube. THANKS
I genuinely feel K’s loneliness through this edit and the film, beautiful interpretation of a lonely soul, one that walks through life and one that can’t feel genuine connection
3:24 My heart breaks apart Every - Single - Time I see this sequence dude... That moment when you instantly stop breathing and your brain stop to work for a few seconds before sending you directly into a state of anesthesia, because the level of pain is just too hight to be felt anymore...
GOD... DAMN IT !!!!
one of the best movies youll see in this day and age by far and ryan gosling played this part perfectly what a legend
so many people write about the film, but so few people write about such a high-quality work that Slyfer2812 has done, people simply have no gratitude, it's a masterpiece
I’ve never seen this movie and still this edit moves me. The snow in these scenes... snow has always signified ending for me. I suppose that’s why I dread it so much. Most people, most kids, think of Christmas or snowball fights... but all I see is death. Something ends, the world stops spinning, time stops... and all we can do is sit there, frozen, thinking of what we’re losing and how there’s nothing we can do about it. Like we’re stuck in a realm between life and death.
I know this is some really sappy, dramatic stuff, but it describes exactly what I feel every time it snows. I guess that says a lot about me.
when i see snow i think of wild snowboarding on the mountains. pow pow face shots!
The White of Snow represents cleansing and a rebirth after the death (dead of winter)
You may not believe it, but I have been watching this video for several months and almost every day, and in a day it can be played on repeat 50-100 times
The scenes from the first movie were on point. Roy Batty's speech is really something else. It's so nostalgic to watch it here. A true masterpiece.
Great job.
This is beautiful and well made. Thank you for sharing it.
This is the most underappreciated movie ever. The message is astounding. The score is 10/10. Gosling shines more than ever. Cinematography is perfect. It may be confusing but when you understand it you relate to it so much. One day people will look back and understand the beauty this movie possesses.
well said, you get confused and mis calculate a misfit puzzle but once u fit them BOOM!
ブレードランナーの芸術性、儚さ、生命、悲劇、世界それらの魅力を表現した編集に感動しました
ありがとう
Damn this was amazing. The music choice was spot on. You replicated the styles of the movies perfectly! Thank you for this one Slyfer.
Love how they snuck in a dialogue from the original Blade Runner
I'm 40 years old and never saw the first Blade Runner. I knew it was an important film that had a cult following. I was in the theater when the trailer for 2049 came out (trailer 3) and I thought it was so well done (including the music) that I was blown away and wanted to know this story. I went to watch the original shortly after and enjoyed it. Very unique. I saw 2049 in the theater the day after its debut. When it was over, it left me sitting in my seat for a while. The rest of the evening I just kept thinking about life - meaning, purpose, love, the difficult and complex nature of reality etc. The original was great but 2049 just really grabbed me. I love this film and consider it the greatest sci-fi next to Terminator 2 and Aliens. The film score was magnificent too. I ended up writing a summation after having seen it a second time:
"There was no real decoy. It was purely on paper. K/Joe is utterly, completely, unequivocally unremarkable, thus his name, Joe... as in Average Joe. Joi does not possess a soul. She is completely fake. She is the other side of the Replicant coin and is made solely to please and coddle her owner/lover. Her entire branding scheme is that she'll be anything you want. Joi is K's fleeting dream of being special -- to be human, or as he put it, "to have a soul" -- so she always reinforced this to him. Just before Luv crushed her emanator she made sure in her final moment to tell him that she loved him.
Wallace posed a question about whether Deckard was moved by love or by programming. To me there's no doubt whatsoever Deckard is fully human. The original movie is about a bad man finding his humanity through the grace of a machine. Wallace's question is not a literal "Are you human or machine?" question, but pondering what the difference is; if love is just neurochemistry, and if we are products of biological programming or something higher, like a soul. The ultimate takeaway is that it really doesn't matter. In fact the only thing that matters is what we choose to do with our lives. We find and create our own meaning and purpose.
In summary, 2049 is about dreams and delusions. K wants desperately to feel special so Joi tells him this constantly and he quickly assumes all the evidence points to him because it's his dream. He becomes deluded and forces himself into the situation even as it destroys him. He thinks this is what it means to be human - to grapple with one's humanity. Then upon meeting Freysa, K comes to learn that in fact he is not special after all. Not born but manufactured. He is torn between two sides telling him what his identity is and should be; the LAPD who informs his identity as that of a slave, and the resistance which informs his identity as that of a free Replicant.
When K comes across the giant pink Joi on the bridge, she says to him "You look like a good Joe". He then realizes that not even the name his Joi gave him was special. Her feelings for him were never real... just programming. K, at this point an emotionally heartbroken broken Replicant. It is in this moment that he chooses to follow his own path and not let anyone tell him who he is or what he should do. He makes the most human decision of all and takes his life into his own hands. He saves Deckard for the same reason Roy did in the first Blade Runner. He wanted someone to remember him, for his final decision that fully validates him as human to not be in vain. No one else gave him his identity, only he did, and his sacrifice ensured forever that he was by every metric a human being, even if the world would ultimately forget him."
This is a special movie, a work of art that is getting more and more notorious as time passes. We do need more of blade runner
This masterpiece has rendered me speechless…
Wow, what a reminder that Villeneuve made an incredible movie that even overshadows the original. Phenomenal. Can't wait for his next!
Slyfer thank you so much for doing this theme!
The Blade Runner 2 is seriously underacknowledged and underrepresented, despite being a truly astonishingly amazing movie
#PenaAnnullamentoDelVoto
So seriously underacknowledged, that you don't even know it's name.
@@Lincoln_Bio *Bruh*
Did you enjoy The Star War 9? :D
@@Lincoln_Bio its star wars m8
This is an absolutely brilliant edit.
This is by far my favourite sequel. This movie changed my life. My God. I'm still shaken by how chilling the whole experience was
this cut is so good, thanks :)
Honestly, between Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, I can tell Denis Devilleneuve made amongst the most beatiful piece of art in science-fiction in this last two decades. I am so hyped for Dune !
Absolutely gorgeous video
Perhaps we might find that all of this has been real for quite some time. On the flip side it’s always a pleasure to find so many others that love Bladerunner and who appreciate the cyberpunk aesthetics or the deeper concepts of what already is or might soon be. Thank you
This movie helped me understand my life. I’m not special, nor am I important. No one is, and that’s okay.
Thank you for this edit, brilliant.
I love the rare feeling i get when a vid is uploaded cause i know its gonna be good no matter the type of video from this channel. This is the only channel i get excited for when something is finally released. Tnx Slyfer
Thank you Slyfer, for another masterpiece. The blending of both films here is nothing short of superb.
Just perfect, definitely my favourite blade runner vid. The quote along with the scene at 1:54 is just perfect, song choice is also phenomenal. Sound effects are all perfectly placed as well and the ending is absolutely mesmerizing, love this so much!
The best Blade Runner edit from TH-cam I've ever seen!
Thanks for your job.
These movies and their soundtrack are simply amazing! Vangelis and Zimmer did amazing work.
Rachael's Song, Love Theme, Tears in Rain from Vangelis, and Someone Loved This from Zimmer are my favorite ones.
What a masterpiece of an edit. A masterpiece of a film. A masterpiece of a story. It truly terrifies me, that something as magnificent of Bladerunner 2049 flopped. A true crime, and a sad statement about the future of hard sci-fi.
I am in love with Denis Villeneuve movies. Really. U would love to see them 3 or 4 hours straight. I dont care about these mass oriented blockbusters..most of my friends dont understand that.. they found Dune boring. I feel sorry for them because, these movies are masterpiece. And the longer they are the more precious they are. So much thought, so much value in each set of them.. i really can watch this material forever, each time finding smth new. Thank you Dennis, once again for bringing the hope to cinema and so much pleasure for me. You are a genius
This video breaks me every time I watch it.
this montage was absolutely beautiful and heart-wrenching. Well done.
I come back and watch this every few days
all those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain
Such a beautiful edit. You are a true artist
This is probably the best edited fan video I have ever seen.
Thank you!
Una obra maestra, absolutamente imprescindible. no se cuantas veces la he visto. Y siempre encuentro algo nuevo. Bladerunner, incombustible.
This movie touches on so many things that are so relevant to today. Human loneliness, the struggle agains the elite, fighting your own kind because youve been pit against one another, the need to be a hero in your own story. heartbreaking and very human.
the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen.
In my top 5 favorite movies. I get so lost in this. I love it
Thanks for this. Very beautiful
Man... I've watched it 3-4 times before I could bring myself to comment. Wow.
Firstly, the pacing of edit was done to top level, one you'd expect of the best professionals. The use of effects throughouts to create a rythem the balanced out the actions and sshots throughout created an immersive chills-worthy experience for the viewer. Infact, the pacing was done to such perfection you never found your self feeling rushed or going too slow... you felt appreciative of each and every shot, dialog and effect throughout. And then it came to end at a great pace too and left me in awe of what I just witnessed.
Secondly, the sound was so crispy and clear, the use of any ducking, or effects with the song was seemlessly sowned together. Not one single issue with any sound throughout. I was wearing my expensive headset which even the best edit picks out the slightest issues and I could not hear a single fuck up in any second of this video. Phenonemal.
Thirdly, as a fan of Blade runner, the way you executed to tell a story and emotion was truly immersive again. One of your many talents is taking a movie and creating a small masterpiece to either tell the story of a movie, an emotion or a character study and rn im left very impressed by your creation here. I can only be called art.
Finally, the innovation, the idea to play with sound and create a tempo and pushing forward what is known in the community of editing. Its an incredibly impressive trait you have, and you do it so so so succesfully every time. I cannot stress enough the love I have for your work, how proud I am of your final products and work ethic and overall how you continue to impress me despite me being an avid follower of yours for a LONG ass time.
Well done my friend, as always you have uploaded an incredible video and a wonderful push in the right direction for editing and its potential.
This IS one of the greatest cinematic pictures ever made. Thank you Deni for your talent and your ART.
Phenomenal editing. I thought I had lost the ability to feel. But this one made me... Thank you so much, Slyfer. Your videos mean the world to me.
One of the best videos of all Times.., who ever did this god bless u..💙
One thing that i think is criminally overlooked is that his AI girlfriend also found her humanity on this journey. Its hard to put youre finger on it but you can see in her actions that she is not just a maschine, just like him. that last atempt to truly tell him I LOVE YOU was unnecesarry for a maschine but very necesarry for a human beeing that knows it will lose the only one she truly ever loved forever. It was like a cry for help, a please dont go :( that makes her very very human.
I totally agree, she and him were equals in every way and just as conscious and human, people think she was just another copy but she evolved beyond that just like K evolved beyond his being just a manufactured life form, both of them became more human than most .
any of these thoughts is beautiful
My favourite films. Good edit thank you 🙏
I chose this film today for my film class to analyze today.
you are a good teacher!
"Because you have never seen a miracle". Ngl, that pretty much sums up my life rn.
A Masterpiece of film, beautiful in the highest sense of art.
"All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain"
You put together an excellent video my dude. I wish I could forget this movie so I can watch it with fresh eyes
Beautiful work Slyfer2812, keep going!
Bladerunner 2049 is a masterpiece.....for those who know, they know....just as with the first one.
This movie will be studied in the future as a masterpiece of cinematography.
This editing is flawless and has given life to the film (I felt more empathy and connection to him in this montage). Even though I LOVE this film and its themes, it did lack a certain vitality of emotion and expression; but with this editing as conveyed through the overtures of their dialogue juxtaposed with other scenes especially in that opening... and condensing this story to more of an urgency of self discovery rather than being drawn out for mystery... maybe that was the trade-off, but regardless; this was gripping, just gripping; thank you.
Beautiful. Sublime and a masterwork of cinema.
This is amazing. You and Garo have inspired me a lot and made me start editing tributes!
Good job
what a beautiful cut of the movie. my friend, take my "like".
I'll maintain that this is the best movie of all time
This is by far the greatest Blade Runner tribute I have ever seen. The quotes, music, sfx, transitions, all just beautiful. I love this so much.
You either love this movie or you dislike it but i cannot understand the ones that dislike the movie… my fav movie of all time
Huge fan of the first movie having seen it on the big screen back in the 80’s. 2049 was outstanding as well. This clip gave me goosebumps. Thank you.
This was incredible. I loved Blade Runner, and Blade Runner 2049 was such an incredible sequel. I liked that we had this 'the one' narrative that turned out not to be true, I loved the world building and the aesthetics, I loved how Joi was the most 'human' character in the film. This was a wonderful video. Hopefully we'll a Dune one from you soon.
