The Symbolism of Blade Runner 2049 is an attempt to show the basic pattern of Reality as the joining of the Masculine and Feminine in the miraculous production of a child.

Hello Jonathan,
I am so thankful to have come across your post here. I had watched this installment of Blade Runner and found it on one hand a truly disturbing vision for almost what is presented as inevitable and yet furtively hopeful in conclusion. Your merging and discussing of the various symbols involved helped me think a bit more deeply why I experienced it as I did. (In fact now I want to re-watch it and catch a bit more through the lens you offered)
One thing that came to mind as I was watching your video was actually a quote from Augustine about how the heart is always restless until it finds its rest in God. In many ways it seems that this movie is a riff on that theme - the restlessness of the heart that is split between as you present the masculine / feminine but also the technocrat / and the "ghost." It hearkens for me back to thinking about how in Genesis it speaks of the act of creation being the (to coin a word) "inspiriting" of God's breath into the physicality of clay. That the Adam is not "alive" unless both are fully present and then to go one step further that even Adam himself isn't really complete until there is Eve who is to be his union and therefore an extension of God's ongoing creative act. So much good stuff here!
Thank you so much for giving much to chew on. I look forward to seeing more and I'll try not to be a pest, but I do love engaging in all this sort of thing.
Peace to you and nice to make your acquaintance.

Ok I have one question. Can you explain to me the relation between Nabokov's PALE FIRE and Blade Runner? I have started reading it. So far, no clue about the relation between both stories.

There are many relationships, Pale Fire (the poem) is about a mystical vision which sends the author of the poem on a quest for transcendent meaning after the death of his daughter, and when he thinks he found it, there is a mistake which shows that he is wrong in his interpretation, but then he goes on to say that it might not be in the details, but in the pattern that meaning is found. K cites the poem at the beginning, when he is being tested for his baseline, '...cells interlinked... The novel version of Pale Fire is mostly about disjunction, the story of someone interpreting the poem but then pressing on it an entirely other story which does not fit the poem at all. So the whole thing is about the problem of disjunction, misinterpretation and a search for ultimate meaning nonetheless.
