Blade Runner 2049

In May 2020, I watched Blade Runner 2049 for the first time on DVD. The movie was released in 2017 and stars Ryan Gosling. The prequel's lead, Harrison Ford, costars in it. The executive producer is Ridley Scott who was the director of the prequel. The director is Denis Villeneuve. 

The story is set in Los Angeles in 2049. The movie follows K, a replicant and a blade runner, who struggles to find his own identity. 

I had heard that the young star Ryan Gosling costars with the veteran star Harrison Ford. Ford, however, appeared later than in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so I was tired of waiting. Then, when the two stars appeared together, I remembered that the older star costarred with Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. As for Gosling, he gave a wonderful performance as K which was the difficult role, though I doubt that he will be a superstar in his sixties like Ford and the Scottish actor. Anyway, I think that Gosling is a good actor. Ford acted well Deckard who was a former blade runner and became old. In addition to them, I was impressed with two actresses. One is Ana de Armas as Joi, K's AI girlfriend, who was really lovely. Another is Sylvia Hoeks as Luv, a replicant and K's enemy, who was cool and beautiful. 

I love the film but I prefer the prequel. The lead and music of it makes a crucial difference. I love Harrison Ford in the prequel more than Ryan Gosling in the sequel. I also feel that the music by Vangelis in the older movie is wonderful more than in the newer movie. Moreover, I think that music has a tremendous power to enhance a movie.
