tinear,

It's certainly the case that the two BL's are very different. I like them both tremendously precisely because of their variance in emphases. The first had a kind of magic realism about that's very involving while 2049 seemed more grounded and greyer, with more subtle, subterranean undercurrents, and also more evocative of the atmosphere I would expect of 2049 Los Angeles. I lived there for 35 years, knew a few people in the biz and LA felt like 2049 in 2009. -It was already difficult then to tell the Humans from the replicants. The replicants were a bit more outgoing,..

It's interesting that Blade Runner has always evoked strong opinions. I suppose it's proper given the underlying theme of slavery.
