This scene made me want to do cinematography

2017 : i hope the world doesn't end up like this
2020 : within cells interlinked, within cells interlinked

This is the California Bay Area, year 2020.

An interesting note: bees are an ancient shamanistic symbolic motif of entering into another world, usually the land of the dead.

Denis villeneuve knows how to make incredible scenes with no explosions or any action.

[holyflutterofgod]

The effect of this scene is somewhat diminished when you don't have the cinema speakers there to just obliterate the airwaves with each BLAST of sound, striking such a stark contrast with the primary silence of the scene. That's what made it so memorable to me at least.

I'm a huge film nerd and this movie was the most incredible cinema experience I have ever had. The symbolism, cinematography, editing, music, everything about this movie just fits so well. Villeneuve is the best working director right now.

[MultiBum]

I don't care what anyone says this movie deserves the best cinematography award at the oscars.

[matthewcrowder]

Great part of the film but could have been so much better if no one knew Ford was gonna show up, it would have been so much more tense.

[RafaelLima]

This scene is one of my favorites, absolutely iconic, memorable and visually stunning. And not only beautiful, but full of meaning too...

[redhotchilifan]

One of the most gorgeous looking scenes ive ever witnessed in film if deakins doesn't get the Oscar I'm done

[franklesher]

The photography and this scene left me speechless. Roger Deakins is one of the photographers that can offer one visual journey through one single image.

[alexfryerpro]

Truly the most mouth watering cinematography I have seen last year.

"You are walking through a desert - a wasp lands on your hand... What do you do?"

[kimskis]

I know it's a blasphemy to diminish an original Blade Runner and Ridley Scott at his peak of creative powers, but I honestly believe Villeneuve is an even better visionary director than Ridley ever was. His ability to immerse a viewer both visually and emotionally is unmatched in the movie industry too imo

This is what NYC looks like right now. Perfect time to grab a camera and leather jacket for once in a lifetime photo

[Kickballkixcereal]

Who else is here to mention the Bay Area skies?

[TheWelchProductions]

Notice at 1:03 that the statue’s finger is pointing to the beehives, directing K to them. There is so much visual storytelling in this movie; it’s nuts!

[KetwunsGamingPad]

This weather pattern is very real. It doesn’t just happen from dust storm with pollution, it happened with the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. That orange hazy sky similarly recurred again in many regions with all that smoke haze covering it from the fire blazes.

Ridley Scott to Denis Villeneuve " I did your job once, and I was good at it"
