I love both Blade Runners, and feel like the 2049 version is an ode to femininity. The only warning for catholics is the nudity presented in the sequel. In some scenes, Ana de Armas appears named (presented as her android version)
I absolutely agree with this as well! There is so much with these films i didn't even get to touch on that aspect. True respect for femininity is hard to come by in modern Cinema so we will take it when we can.
You all only picked four movies for my least favorite genre, horror, and gave six entries for my favorite genre, science fiction. I know you didn't do that for my sake, but I certainly appreciate it. 😁
Even though it's not dealt with directly, I'm glad that you at least made reference to the problematic aspect of Deckard and Rachel's relationship (particularly that scene when he won't let her leave his apartment). That part makes me uncomfortable and I don't know what the proper response is considering that she's not a real woman but "just" a replicant. What we find out about their union in the sequel doesn't really clear up the issue.

Just so there's no misconceptions, I think Blade Runner is a great movie and 2049 is definitely a worthy sequel.
