Not in the case of Blade Runner...

Blade Runner 2049 was the best movie I've seen in the past 5 years, and it could be argued that it surpassed the original.
@Seven Of Swords yep i agree fully with that. It was slower than the first but just as powerful and absolutely beautiful. I'm fairly certain the director is at least aware of mgtow and the topics we talk about because it incorporated so much into it
@Happy Humble Hermit Yep. The movie was full of "red-pills" and "black-pills" (I hate the "pills" analogy, but I don't know what else to use).
TFM in the server that's awesome and of course our retarded bot is being retarded
@Seven Of Swords the pills is a good surface level term. Pewdiepie recently examined the matrix and i need to make a response

Blade Runner 2049 brought up the illusion of the image of women, the atomized and isolated individual as a result of capitalism, the questioning of our very own identities, etc.
Really? Was it his first time seeing it?
Did you guys hear about what happened to the JD.com dude?
Its fucked man
@Happy Humble Hermit Loved your collab with Sunrise and Reverend20piece. Hope you get a convo with tfm soon, would be great.
"the atomized and isolated individual as a result of capitalism" this claim needs evidence
hermit should make a debate text channel
and a channel about channels, and a channel about that too
@igorbloodscene Ok. 1) define evidence 2) As a worker must sell his labor power to survive, he is alienated from his labor, the means of production, other workers and himself. He is seen as nothing more than as Stardusk puts it "a human doing not a human being" and is only valued inso far as how much he can aid in the accumulation of capital. This alienation makes individuals more and more atomized as they cannot know themselves for their identities are only known in relation to other commodities.
For example in Blade Runner 2049, Officer K is seen as nothing more than a replicant, or tool to be used to do the bidding of LAPD, and to always obey humans. And it is from this relationship that he is only able to know who he is. It is only through the recognition of his inherent inability to become a master (i.e. human) that he must know that his identity is a slave. This is Hegel's Master/Slave dialectic in action during the entire film.
Likewise, in capitalism, a worker only knows that he is a worker only insomuch as he knows that he does not own the means of production i.e. he knows that he is not a capitalist. Thus, he becomes isolated and atomized as his only social relation is valuable insofar as he is useful. Competition with other workers, the social and societal rules becoming more muddied and hard to understand, anomie ensues and people become more individuated and convince themselves that they must rely upon no one but themselves due to distrust of other people.
Hell yeah
I have to return some video tapes.
@Seven Of Swords blade runner 2049 was a sequel not a remake
tru
Bladerunner 2049 is a cinematic masterpiece
With regard to remakes, not sequels, for the most part, yes they are garbage.
Thanks for the clarification @ZODD
But maybe Dune will be different lol
There's gonna be a sequal for Dune?
I think its a remake
@ZODD We're both wrong and right lmao
Denis Villeneuve, the same director as Sicario and Blade Runner 2049 will be directing the Dune remake lmao
Its a remake, but the director is brilliant! I'm conflicted...
I suppose it'll be a bittersweet experience for you
I can't wait to see it honestly lol
I'll have to make up my mind once I see it on the screen haha
Have you seen The Arrival? It's another film by Villeneuve
No, but I need to.
It is great
