Catching up on gramming about all the movies from last weekend... Took a road trip with @day_yo @ayakakeda and @jentong to see "Blade Runner 2049" (Denis Villenueve) at a drive-in theater on the NJ/NY border. Luckily we watched some of the first one before going cause I hadn't seen in years. I think "2049" works and though it's a bit long and slow-paced, is definitely worth watching (and on the big screen if you can). Villenueve's style and tone is definitely prominent here with the grayish-green backdrop accented only slightly by stark neon colors. I got thinking too how this really becomes a character study of Officer K (Ryan Gosling), but twisting the idea as we analyze a replicant-human. It was good to see some strong female characters here, portrayed by Robin Wright, Sylvia Hoeks, and Ana de Armas. And of course the return of Rick Deckard... Oh and the drive-in screened "Grease" (which I kind of hate) before our movie started. Drive-ins are fun! #bladerunner2049 #bladerunner #warwickdrivein #soamerican (at Warwick Drive-In Theater)
