I rewatched Blade Runner 2049 last night for the first time since seeing in theaters last summer. A few scenes jumped out at me.
At the file station:
File clerk- Everyone remembers where they
were at the Blackout. You?
K- That was a little before before my time.
File clerk- I was at home with my folks,
and ten days of darkness.
Every machine stopped cold.
When the lights came back,
we were wiped clean:
photos, files, every bit of data… gone.
Bank records, too.
Didn't mind that!
It's funny, it's only paper that lasted.
I mean, we had everything on drives.
Everything, everything, everything.
My mom still cries over
the lost baby pictures.
Well, it's a shame.
After being rescued in Las Vegas:
Freysa-
A revolution is coming.
And we're building an army.
I want to free our people.
If you want to be free, join us.
Deckard, Sapper, you, me;
our lives mean nothing
next to a storm that's coming.
Dying for the right cause is the
most human thing we can do.
