Deckard swims from the aircar back to land - phew he made it - but wait, where is K? Oh no, the audience wails - K didn’t make it - Deckard looks around in desperation - K is drowned for sure - how sad - but wait - no - here he is - K made it after all! Yayyy! Go K!!!!!
Not this movie’s best scene.
u can nitpick everything into shait.
shareIndeed you can diminish the meaning and value of any subject through oversimplification.
However, that was not my intent. I am interested to know whether or not anyone else found this scene to be clichéd. Sat in the cinema I thought: “This has been done too many times.” Sometimes it is done well, for example when Indiana Jones rides the tank over the cliff in The Last Crusade but here I did not think it worked.
I BARELY even remember that scene. Probably because by that time, most everything felt insignificant that was going on. They DO this, blah, they DO that, blah, next, whatever. So much more could have been done with the scene you mention. Do the same thing but mix it up more interestingly SOMEHOW.
shareK has, by this time, been stabbed and beaten pretty badly many times. Plus, a previous scene clearly shows him exit the flooding vehicle well after Deckard.
shareHe sure has. If he had died at this point and not come out of the water that would have made a great and surprising scene. Shown from Deckard’s POV this scene is clichéd. We have seen it done in many films: is the protagonist dead? We wait ten seconds and discover they are alive. I think it would have been better shown from K’s POV: beams of light from the car picking out K’s blood in the water as he struggles back to land.
shareFair comment.
shareThe end of the movie, in general, wasn't as good as the first 2/3.
