I don’t think you are (at all). This movie was one of the most deliberate and subtext-laden films I’ve seen in a long time, done by an incredible director, and from my perspective I think you’ve got it spot on and Itse just didn’t really get a lot of it.
It’s why, almost contradictorily, I called it good but not great. Not a lot happens, and as “Blade Runner 2” it was missing something. I wasn’t necessarily prepared to go into a movie where the bulk of the message and the story is going on below the surface. I appreciate how artistic and well-done it was, but it was so much deeper than the first that it took me by surprise and had me constantly waiting for the moment when it would fall back into a Ridley Scott recipe. It never did, and while that is good, it also left me feeling different than I thought I would.
Like it or not, this movie will likely be a film-class favourite for analysing subtext and vision.
