why does it matter? If you cease to exist after, who gives a shit what you did? You're not taking any of it anywhere, no memories, not wisdom, no experience points....
you're still presuming a condition of life beyond your death. if the period of your life is all you get and there's no eternal state beyond that then the period of your life is of the utmost importance. how could the one thing that absolutely exists not matter, and moreover why does all that which exists require the validation of the supernatural, particularly if the supernatural is spurious? either your life is the absolute horizon of meaning or you've sneakily reconstructed christian cosmology
What was Roy doing off the shoulder of Orion?
That's a bit far out for 2019 no?
How did Roy leave the solar system and return with a life span of 5 years?
Because it's a poetic distillation of the existential condition and as you age you become more aware of your own mortality and the evanescence of everything in the universe.
This. Take away the set design and a decent antagonist and all you’re left with an overrated pretentious snooze fest of a movie with one of the worst protagonists in all of fiction. It’s amazing how Ridley Scott was able to turn an otherwise charismatic actor into an empty void of charisma and likability with the personality of a plank of wood. He’s a good director, but the original bladerunner was shit. I’ve never watched 2049 but judging the the fact people talk far more about Goose than they ever did Deckard is already enough for me to realize it was one of those rare instances where the sequel was better than the original, not that 2049 had a very high bar to surpass anyways.
Because at death's door with only a complete stranger for company there's no way to convey all those moments of your life that stand out. Roy was mostly a violent bot, so that's all he could reminisce upon, those important stories, we're given the barest haunting tidbits of that make you wonder to the full story and his role in them. It's too late, however, for him to share or you to hear. And that's a brief 5 year window excluding implanted memories. Imagine a whole life
>It hits harder as I get older
because you are reaching the end
It reminds us that it doesn't matter what you did, saw, or earn. When the end comes, all that came before it is irrelevant.
it's the exact opposite, at the end your life is all that matters. you get one shot and you choose what to do with it, the stakes could not be higher
This is both incredibly depressing and incredibly inspiring.
which is why roy is so interesting, he's speedrunning existential crisis. he starts out as pinocchio and ends as meursault
I've been toying with the idea of discarding my boring wrote day to day life and going on a long, careful spree.

>You cease to exist
Not true, you become one with the universe.
Spoiler alert, you already are
And yet I'm here because I'm too afraid to just go out. I hate myself.
"Dude I saw some crazy shit ong fr. Well time to die lol. Sucks to suck.... blargh!"
Because in past lives you probably was in Capella.

He knew and was expressing his mortality, as you are beginning to realize.
>I saw some beams and spaceships homie
whoa that's deep
At least you got more than five years. Not that you saw anythig off the shoulder of Orion.

Probably putting down a colonial insurrection.
Time dilation. Maybe you should remember dilating, Anon
mean, I'm not like that at all

not going to make it, if im being quite honest with you, family guy
Overrated presumptuous movie.

>man isn't it sad that we all die in the end?
Yeah it is, but it's not as profound as the movie thought.
