This is the original cut I grew up with. Even have it on Criterion laser disc. It doesn't have the strong teal im the Final Cut which I'm not a fan of. The narration also gave the movie a file noir vibe like an old detective movie missing from the Final Cut. This is still my go to version to watch no matter how much the modern film snobs and Final Cut stans hated this version of the movie. Thanks for the reaction. The International Cut has a lot more violence than the U.S theatrical cut while the Final Cut has the extra unicorn scene to establish Deckard is a replicant(which Ford and argued with Scott that Deckard should be human) but took out the happy ending.

When you said sexy-time scene, were you referring to Borat? Sean Young was fairly well known, and she was also named the worst actress in Hollywood; IMHO that was unfair. Darryl Hannah, the blonde replicant is well known from Splash, Kill Bill (vol 1 and vol 2). Rutger Hauer played tough guys and occasionally love interests.

Nothing says premium wine than a twist-off cap.... This is my favorite movie of all time, your patrons have led you somewhat astray, this is the American theatrical cut, universally considered the worst version. (Different ending too) I would recommend either the Director's Cut (my favorite) or the Final Cut. (BTW, replicants are biological, not robotic, basically genetically engineered humans) The main difference is the dropping of the hand-holding narration that was phoned-in by Harrison because he believed the audience was smarter that given credit, so the narration is crap. Outstanding soundtrack by Vangelis, IMO one of the best OST ever made for a movie.

Replicants are biological entities just artificially created instead of born. Basically their slaves calling them robots covers this fact. Just as calling it retirement covers the fact that they're killing them. In my opinion a slave has a right to revolt against its slave holders. People never get this about the movie, maybe it's the replicans that are in the right and the blade runners and authorities trying to enslave and kill them that are in the wrong.

Exactly. They're to busy trying to be clever to even pay attention. Replicants are based on the human genome. Tyrell did some genetic modification, obviously for strength and general physical performance. But they must still eat, although we don't see that in the film. And much fantastical imaginings aside, Deckart is not a replicant. He is in fact there to be suspected of being one in order to encourage viewers to think about what being human really is. That's a central question, because replicant's, like other humans, are created through a biological process. Closely managed, it's true, but they are not machines.
@ClaytonMacleod2 сағат бұрын
@@mrgclough He most certainly is a replicant. In the director’s cut and the Final Cut they’re just less vague about it. Unicorn dream/origami. It is a story about slavery, prejudice, and racism. No better way to get you to realize those things are bad, and how you shouldn’t treat “them” differently, than to make you think about “What if you’re actually one of them?” Deckard nodding after seeing the origami, and remembering what Gaff said to him, is him acknowledging that he now realizes he is a replicant since Gaff knows about his dream. And you do see replicants eating. You see Deckard eating, and drinking, more than once. And you see Pris eating. They’re organic beings, so naturally they need to eat.

Harrison Ford was contractually obligated to do the narration, added by the studio against Ridley Scott's wishes. His flat delivery was an expression of his disagreement with the studio's decision. Perhaps inadvertently it matched so well with the character of Deckard that it did not detract from the film as much as it might have. With that said, the final cut of this film is the best of them and is Scott's vision fully realized.

The controversial question about this movie is whether Deckard is himself a replicant. The movie is based on the Philip K. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep." The replicants are physically indistinguishable from humans. In Dick's novel, Deckard is absolutely human. That is an important point of Dick's premise. All of Philip K. Dick's work revolves around the questions: What is reality, how do you know what is real, and does it really matter? In this case, in Dick's original story, the question is whether being real or artificial matters if humans (Bladerunners) have lost so much humanity and artificial beings (replicants) have gained so much humanity that there is no longer a way to tell the difference. Or as Mr Spock put it, "A difference that makes no difference is no difference." Ridley Scott changes the premise in his "Director's Cut" to fit his own idea that Deckard is actually a replicant: Surprise! Twist ending! However, IMO, Scott's twist ending is just a standard elementary-level twist. It is far less poignant and philosophically significant than Dick's original concept that questioned reality. Although this movie bombed in the box office (I was one of the 12 people who liked it right off), the production values had an incredible impact on science fiction afterward. When Deckard roughed up Rachel, I believe it was to see if it would trigger a replicant's normal defensive response...but it didn't. Yes, the movie was intended to have a noir detective feel, including the narration. An important point was how hard the replicants fought to live, even when mortally wounded. In the end, Roy had become human enough to feel empathy for his own hunter, as he shouted in the moment Deckard slipped: "Kinship!" Denis Villenueve's sequel "Bladerunner 2049" takes the story in a different direction (and still doesn't definitively resolve the Deckard controversy). But it's an exquisitely beautiful movie (as all Villenueve's films are) and well worth seeing. I went back to see it in the theater a second time, and there have been only three movies in my entire 70s years that I've found that good. Phillip K. Dick is second to God for the record for the number of movies and television shows based on his literary work. Daryl Hannah first reached my consciously playing a mermaid opposite a very young Tom Hanks. And James Wong had a small role...James Wong may hold the record for the total number of movie appearances. The title "Bladerunner" was taken from a completely different science fiction novel, "The Bladerunner," which was about doctors practicing illegal medicine in a dystopian future; they got permission from Alan Nourse to use the title.

The book this is based on, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, is really quite different. I'm a fan of the author, Philip K. Dick, but it is difficult not to compare the book with the film. It is because of this that I would not recommend reading the book, but maybe try reading some of his other works. A number of his stories have been adapted, with varying degrees of success and faithfulness. The best ones are probably Total Recall, Minority Report (good film, but I can't forgive it for abandoning the premise), and The Man in the High Castle (amazon show). Personally, I have a lot of love for Screamers although I wouldn't exactly call it 'good'

Good evening/morning Ylva I share with you a couple of comments that I usually post in the reactions to this movie, because, in my opinion, many people tend to misunderstand or misjudge the true intentions of Deckard's (Harrison Ford) character when he's with Rachel (Sean Young) in his apartment. I think you are one of the few people on KZread who, when commenting on that scene, has mentioned the fact that Rachel, as a replicant, did not know how to "proceed" in that situation (even though she was attracted to Deckard or desired him). My English is not very good, so I leave you these comments written by other users in other channels, where, in my opinion, they explain Deckard's true intention in that scene: << Deckard stopped Rachael from leaving because she was about to go out and become a hunted renegade replicant again. She wanted intimacy but didn't have the human knowledge or instincts to know what to do (thus her sudden panic), so Deckard took her through the motions ("Now say kiss me", etc.) When she says "Put your hands on me" that's the point where she stops being guided and gives in to her own responses. The fact that the scene is so awkwardly filmed is unfortunate>>. -Porfle Popnecker. <<Rachel was a replicant and was not experienced in anything close to a proper relationship with men and Deckard was helping to instill her emotional responses towards him. It was easy to see Rachel did have feelings for Deckard because she did show up after it looked like she rejected him after that phone call he made from the bar only to save Deckard's life from Leon's wrath. What you assume was date rape wasn't what was happening, it was the experience she needed to move forward with her life with Deckard>>. -Joe Renaud. We must also remember that Rachel had just saved his life, and that he is the only character in the entire movie who shows empathy for the replicants.. I don't think taking advantage of her was his response or motivation. Thanks for your reactions, and have a nice day!

Ridley Scott commented in an interview that the night before shooting Roy's death scene his actor, Rutger Hauer, came to him with the "tears in the rain" monologue he had written himself. Ridley was so impressed he changed the script to include it.
@dcanmore6 сағат бұрын
that's the myth, but not the actual story, but he did modify the script to what was said on screen. Originally the monologue was written 70 words long and Hauer thought it was too clunky to deliver smoothly. So he asked for it to be cut down a bit, it came back at 48 words but he wasn't pleased so Hauer took out another 12 words and added in nine words of his own and that is what you see on the screen. However Scott didn't know about the final modification by Hauer when they shot the scene and kept it in as he thought it was perfect

It is because of this that I would not recommend reading the book, but maybe try reading some of his other works. A number of his stories have been adapted, with varying degrees of success and faithfulness. The best ones are probably Total Recall, Minority Report (good film, but I can't forgive it for abandoning the premise), and The Man in the High Castle (amazon show). Personally, I have a lot of love for Screamers although I wouldn't exactly call it 'good'
Good evening/morning Ylva I share with you a couple of comments that I usually post in the reactions to this movie, because, in my opinion, many people tend to misunderstand or misjudge the true intentions of Deckard's (Harrison Ford) character when he's with Rachel (Sean Young) in his apartment. I think you are one of the few people on KZread who, when commenting on that scene, has mentioned the fact that Rachel, as a replicant, did not know how to "proceed" in that situation (even though she was attracted to Deckard or desired him). My English is not very good, so I leave you these comments written by other users in other channels, where, in my opinion, they explain Deckard's true intention in that scene: << Deckard stopped Rachael from leaving because she was about to go out and become a hunted renegade replicant again. She wanted intimacy but didn't have the human knowledge or instincts to know what to do (thus her sudden panic), so Deckard took her through the motions ("Now say kiss me", etc.) When she says "Put your hands on me" that's the point where she stops being guided and gives in to her own responses. The fact that the scene is so awkwardly filmed is unfortunate>>. -Porfle Popnecker. <<Rachel was a replicant and was not experienced in anything close to a proper relationship with men and Deckard was helping to instill her emotional responses towards him. It was easy to see Rachel did have feelings for Deckard because she did show up after it looked like she rejected him after that phone call he made from the bar only to save Deckard's life from Leon's wrath. What you assume was date rape wasn't what was happening, it was the experience she needed to move forward with her life with Deckard>>. -Joe Renaud. We must also remember that Rachel had just saved his life, and that he is the only character in the entire movie who shows empathy for the replicants.. I don't think taking advantage of her was his response or motivation. Thanks for your reactions, and have a nice day!
Ridley Scott commented in an interview that the night before shooting Roy's death scene his actor, Rutger Hauer, came to him with the "tears in the rain" monologue he had written himself. Ridley was so impressed he changed the script to include it.
that's the myth, but not the actual story, but he did modify the script to what was said on screen. Originally the monologue was written 70 words long and Hauer thought it was too clunky to deliver smoothly. So he asked for it to be cut down a bit, it came back at 48 words but he wasn't pleased so Hauer took out another 12 words and added in nine words of his own and that is what you see on the screen. However Scott didn't know about the final modification by Hauer when they shot the scene and kept it in as he thought it was perfect
@@dcanmore I watched the interview.
The Hitchhiker and Blind Fury.

@@donrichards271 the scriptwriter gave the full story.
Wow! Theatrical version reaction! I liked it for the world building and giving it that film noir feel. This was considered a bomb at the time but it developed a cult following. People have probably already told you about the different versions of the film but I liked this version as much as the final cut that doesn't have the narration and ending monologue. Great reaction.
@@artboymoy I learned too late about the different versions but I still loved the version I watched!
@@YlvatheViqueen I would give the Final Cut version a go, the removal of the voice over allows better pacing, absorbtion of the story and more soundtrack to be heard, also has a better ending to fit with the world building.
@@YlvatheViqueen That's totally fine! Now you can watch The Final Cut to kinda feel the difference. Harrison Ford really hated doing the narration. There is an excellent documentary on the filming. I think you can find it on YT. Worth it.
Oh no, the bad version 😭
Woooooooooooooooooooo
