I’m watching it right now (as in this week and next, not this minute). 1 hour in, pretty good so far.
Some completely unnecessary female nudity however.
Nudity is almost never necessary.
No, I really like nudity in film and photography. I think it’s beautiful. And this is coming from someone who finds most people unattractive so it’s not a weird sex thing. To say that it’s almost never necessary is crazy. I could list you an enormous list of films/photos/sculptures/paintings where it is effective. The only times it is unnecessary are in films that are obviously exploitative and the scenes exist purely to be smut. But that usually isn’t art so I don’t really care.
^That.
Tell me how that scene needed it.
I haven’t seen Blade Runner 2042, but usually nudity communicates innocence, vulnerability, uninhibitedness, or seediness. I’m guessing with Blade Runner it was the last one.
