            I never really got this. Depp's lawyer seems incredulous that Ana's role in Blade Runner was a sufficient breakout role because she was "primarily a gigantic naked billboard", even though she obviously wasn't just that and had a massive role throughout the movie and it was clearly a huge breakout role. Was Depp's lawyer just being an idiot, or was he deliberately getting the information wrong?

              I was too busy laughing at the fact that Johnny Depp had a Cinemaphile poster representing him but intentionally or not he was downplaying her character I think because he knew the witness had no idea either.

                If the point was to reveal that she didn't remember the movie in detail (or was maybe lying about having seen it) then it seems to be a very strange tactic - she's meant to be an industry money person rather than a movie buff, and all it takes is for one member of the jury to remember that Ana had a really big role in Blade Runner for the lawyer's line of questioning here to look idiotic...

                You're logically correct but juries (particularly in civil cases) don't think like this - 90% of the time they're just vibing and go with whoever they think is the most charismatic. Depp's team went big on the charm offensive and Heard's team totally fricked up on that front. Depp's lawyer took a gamble that she wasn't really familiar with the movie and it probably paid off - if you make the other side's witnesses look like dumb shits then it usually helps you even if the thing they're being dumb about is largely irrelevant to the case.

              The majority of argumentation in a jury trial is for the purpose of swaying the jury. You exaggerate details helpful to your case, and downplay details which harm it, before the point at which the jury begins to distrust your narrative. It's all about buttering up and influencing the jury within what is legally permissible in the courtroom. Jury selection is just about the most important part of a trial because who ends up on the jury informs the tactics you'll be able to use and their chances of being successful. Naive lawyers hammer the law and the facts and lose cases. Savvy lawyers hammer opposing council during jury selection so when all is said and done everyone on the jury is going to lean in the direction of your argumentation before you say the first word.

              He had sufficiently debunked every other one of her "como" examples. In reality Ana is probably the closest comp to Amber she mentioned. But it was obvious the witness had no idea about anything so he just further took the piss.

          Nice dubs. I think the themes were good but the moments that were supposed to 'hit' were somewhat unearned. The plot did feel a lot more nuanced, but I guess I just prefer ghe simplicity of the first one, since I think it delivers the message more strikingly than this one.

          It's many things at once. You can also view it as him realizing that through their interactions his Joi became special and unique to him specifically, to the point that just getting another one is not the same anymore.
          The important thing is that in that very moment he finds purpose, breaks his programming and stops being used as a tool all at once. Remember that the replicant rebellion told him to go kill Deckard? In that moment he decides to do the very opposite of that. He is no longer a slave blindly following orders and develops his own agency. Becomes "special" and individual through his own actions

    Because it's surreal and still somehow genuine. Same reason a lot of Lynch weirdness still hits us in the feels. In this case, though, the scene lent itself to being captured completely in a still shot. You see it and you feel something. Even without the subtitles you just feel his loneliness. The picture sells a whole world and whole story in one still frame. (Also, to all the "explain why nudity is important" or "when had nudity ever been necessary?" threads, this is one right here.)

        Really? He's lonely and the only thing that is reaching out to him is a sex-hologram advert. The raw in-your-face smuttiness of it is what makes it poignant when it affects him.

He broke free of his programming and ascended, humanizing himself through struggle. He wasn't the chosen one, but he absolutely did become something special.
