Blade Runner 2049

I saw Blade Runner 2049. I couldn't follow it that well. Like some critics have noted, if you are old enough to remember the original Blade Runner, you've forgotten the premise, and if you are young, you never knew the premise in the first place. Nevertheless, I could sense some interesting stuff brewing there. If a replicant has manufactured memories, how can a replicant tell what is true? Humans have crappy memories too. Whose memories are better, human or replicant? Are replicants human? Does the distinction matter? All valid questions, as Trumpified Breitbart media reduces Americans to a kind of replicant status.
