How to evaluate the movie Blade Runner 2049?

All the scenes in blade runner take place in the busy streets of the city. Although the story of "2049" took place in the same city, it showed a lot of expansion and breakthrough on the basis of the original work in scene design and photography style. Villeneuve firmly mentioned in the interview: "We don't want to copy the original, otherwise what's the point of the sequel?" But if you want to make changes, you must be reasonable and quiet. He also said frankly, "This movie is very important to me, so I want to show a very important situation in it. I grew up in Canada, and winter and snow are my closest memories, so the starting point of the whole movie scene design is a snowy Los Angeles. "

Snow naturally cannot come out of thin air; The idea of the crew is that it snows in Los Angeles because of the abnormal weather caused by global climate change, and on this basis, it consciously imagines what will happen in Los Angeles under the background of changing environment and world situation, and establishes other new scenes reasonably through these changes. We saw the snowy Los Angeles; Seeing that due to the rising sea level, people have to build huge seawalls on the coast of Los Angeles to prevent seawater from eroding the city (it has even been suggested in reality); I saw terrorists attacking Las Vegas with nuclear weapons. Due to serious pollution and radiation, the air in the ruins of the city was orange. I saw a huge garbage dump formed on the edge of the city, among which there were people who scavenged for a living, and even an orphanage was built on the ruins of an old factory. The gloomy and depressing dystopian style in the original work adds a magnificent and decadent wilderness aesthetics here, which is fascinating.

Ridley scott said that at first he was glad to see everyone imitating the scene style in blade runner, but over time, even he was tired of watching all kinds of future cities with pouring rain. Presumably he will be very satisfied with the handling in 2049.

It's not enough to have a scene, but how you shoot it. Even now, it is easy to marvel at the original work of blade runner: the visual effect of 1982 is not out of date, and the light, shadow and texture are even enough to shame a lot of sci-fi movies that abuse CGI. Fortunately, 2049 did not fall into the old road of abusing computer special effects.

When someone asked roger deakins about the photography effect in the film, the Beidou-level figure in the film photography industry said frankly: "You know, working with Dennis (Villeneuve) can always help you improve your work and make your work by going up one flight of stairs." Can the whole film industry get the evaluation of director Dickins? Can you count them with one hand?
