"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Absolutely love Roy Batty's final monologue when he reflects on his own mortality. You go instantly from disliking him as a villain to actually feeling really sorry for him. It's probably one of the few times in the history of cinema that you're really moved by the death of the main antagonist. Rutger Hauer was absolutely amazing in this movie.

Rutger Hauer was also the one who came up with those lines. They weren't originally in the script. The night before shooting of the scene, Rutger Hauer thought that it would be more impactful if Roy said something poetic before the end. Next day he ran it by Ridley Scott and he was impressed enough to leave it in the final edit.

@danielbretall2236 2 жыл бұрын

He was never trying to kill Decker. Roy was trying to put the same fear of death into him that he was feeling on the edge of his own mortality. I like to think he was telling Decker (in the most terrifying and memorable way possible) that he should appreciate his own life, and don't waste it.

if you look at the movie through the antagonists pov, he's actually the hero and harrison ford is the antagonist. ford kills all his friends and kills his girlfriend, so roy batty had every right to avenge them. but he doesnt (like the typical protagonist) and lets harrison ford live. I think this movie is almost like ridley scott poking fun at us for choosing sides without knowing the full story. thinking roy batty was the antagonist and ford was the protagonist, when it will the reverse all along.

The movie questions what it means to be "human". The replicants had emotions, memories, opinions. What really separates them from humans. Roy loved Pris, and was broken hearted when she died, but he could not bring himself to kill Deckard. Roy's last act (saving Harrison Ford's character) was supposed to demonstrate his humanity.

That's pretty much what every cyberpunk movie does at its core, when you think about it. Cyberization brings with it the inevitable element of transhumanism, since you are essentially turning yourself into a cyborg when you use technology, even without replacing any body parts, although the cyberpunk genre is ripe with that too, like Ghost in the Shell; when doing so, one can't help but wonder what exactly is the essence of humanity, as more and more cognitive functions and biological parts get replaced with technology, until "you" are just a brain in a brain case (literally a "brain in a vat"), or even when going so far as to replace the brain itself too, either partially or in its entirety.

I always thought that the reason why Roy saves Deckard at the end is because the realises that the closest thing that man has to immortality is by being remembered, and everyone that knew Roy by that point is dead either by Deckard's hand or Roy's. There is no way that Deckard could forgot the man/ replicant who had him at his absolute mercy, saved him out of nowhere and then dies in front of him. Roy made sure his last witness could never forget him.

The final speech Rutger Hauer, the actor playing Roy Batty (your "half-robot blonde psychopath") gave was improvised. The scene called for Roy to sit down and tell Decker about his regrets -- namely, that he had his own memories, not the ones implanted by the company when he was created, and that he was afraid to die because when he did, all those memories, the things that made him, him, would be gone. As he says to Deckard, "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?" Its at this point that you begin to realize that while Deckard was the protagonist, he might not have been the good guy...

Late, It also is to draw a connection to what Deckard does to the Replicants. He is a blade runner and kills them. No remorse. But he is more like them and they have become more human. He is in fact an old Replicant. Designed to kill other wayward replicants. He dreams of unicorns. His cop buddy leaves a unicorn oragami at his place to signify he is one of them. And he is going to hunt Deckard.

I think that is the less appealing of the elements that Ridley Scott added to the Director's Cut, a truly "George Lucas move" if you ask me. Because it doesnt make any sense.... The whole point of the story is that the Replicants are actually more humane than the protagonist, who is just an enforcer, while they are pursuing for more life, a truly human thing to do. Also, if Deckard is a replicant, why do all the replicants just kick his ass so easily? Besides, it makes sense that the protagonist is the human, so the audience have a common perspective from the start, someone to idenfy themselves with... that is the way that it was written.

You look around yourself now and see glass skyscrapers existing next to 100 year-old neoclassical and art deco architecture (etc), but sci-fi never really did that before. Even Vangelis's soundtrack typified that theme by using classical methods and genres of composition in an electronic score, which was really unique, and incredibly influential to this day (the score is a kinda landmark in electronic music). I don't blame people for not really getting why or how this film was so revolutionary and beloved, because it's conceits were so influential that today it almost seems typical and passe.

Interesting Fact: Daryl Hannah is the actress who played Pris and during the scene where she meets sympathetic genetic designer J.F. Sebastian, Pris is seen slipping on the pavement as she runs away and smashing her elbow through a car window. Hannah’s slip was a genuine mistake and the car window was made of real glass; though she gamely carried on with the take, the actress had in fact chipped her elbow in eight places. Also if you have an Amazon Echo Device say " Alexa I have seen things you people wouldn't believe."

The original theatre version of this movie, had a narration track of Harrison speaking a lot of his thoughts. I personally liked this original. The movie to me appeared to be styled a lot like old detective movies, the oak furniture, clothing, the abruptness of the characters, that aggressive kiss, the lighting and especially the main character doing the narration. I believe the original version is part of one of the releases. A lot of people seem to not like the narration, I don't get why.

Since you have watched two of the Alien movies, here is something cool to know: The Alien franchise and the Blade Runner franchise have secretly shared the same universe for years, with more connections made with each installment. The theory that Ridley Scott’s Alien and Blade Runner are connected has evolved from folklore to fact ever since one of Blade Runner's screenwriters, David Peoples, said that his other film, Soldier, is a spin-off sidequel to Blade Runner despite their tenuous connections. If Soldier, despite its schlocky tone, can be considered canon to Blade Runner, then Alien certainly can as well. Not only do the two franchises share similar technology and ties between the Tyrell and Weyland Corporations, but their themes about artificial life go hand-in-hand. Towards the conclusion of Alien, Ripley manages to get into an escape pod where she commences her engines by turning a blue screen into a red “purge” screen. Blade Runner starts off with Officer Gaff getting into his flying car where he, too, commences the engines by turning a blue screen into a red “purge” screen. Given that Blade Runner takes place in alternate-2019 and Alien takes place in 2122, is the Nostromo such a junk heap that it’s using technology over a hundred years old, or it just a clever Easter egg?

Didn't see a comment about how Blade Runner was a game changer movie, a sci-fi masterpiece. It's a historical landmark in sci-fi setting the tone for pretty much every sci-fi movies that came after, especially the dystopian ones. It was revolutionary. Still regarded as of the best sci-fi movie ever made, aged so well, with a dark tone, an eternal Vangelis music and the ultimate question: what does it mean to be human and to be conscious? Oh, and there's a young Harrison Ford. Hope you enjoyed it. *edit: Unicorn daydream(it's not a dream) and origami unicorns: so the biggest question in this movie is: "is Deckard a replicant?". The director Ridley Scott wanted that question to remain unanswered and Deckard's nature ambiguous, and Harrison Ford wanted Deckard to be human. Denis Villeneuve (director of Blade Runner 2019) said that at a dinner with Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott, he found himself watching them both arguing about that point. He says it was surrealist to him, as Blade Runner is his favorite movie and what made him into making movies. The bleak future is called dystopian, as in the opposite of utopia (just like dysphoria is the opposite of euphoria). It's a future where governments have ultimate power over people and where the population cannot escape and have no freedom. Lots of suffering and injustice. Very often technology is being used as a method of ultimate population control.

I saw another millennial review of this movie and the person was complaining that the film was in essence derivative of films that they had seen without realizing that it was the opposite, and the films they had watched came after Blade Runner, and were themselves derivative. It's sometimes frustrating to watch video reactions because I think the watchers place an emphasis on reaction, and don't spend much time trying to understand. I think in this reaction, it was really disappointing to see how little effect Rutger Hauers ending siloloquy had on the watcher. The character, contemplating their own mortality, cherished life enough to save his would be murderer. The replicants were slaves, used for labor, for war, for other things. No value had been placed on their life. Priss quotes Descartes, "I think therefore I am." The movie is supposed to question humanity, whether the replicants are actually human. Ridley Scott has said Deckard was a replicant. I think the director's cut makes it more obvious than the theater cut. I think you're right, that the director wants you to wonder, but in the end of the movie, I don't think there's a question anymore. Deckard is a replicant, killing replicants. He never doubts that he is human.

You're right that Ridley Scott said the story does not make sense if Deckard is a human and I agree that it's pretty obvious with the director's cut. He daydreams of unicorns, we assume he didn't tell anyone, and we can assume Gaff, his "boss", is not making origami unicorns just by sheer coincidence. It's just because it's not established without any doubt (that Deckard is a replicant) that we can say it's somewhat ambiguous, but for me it's always been clear. *edit: I like what you say about Priss and about the nature of humanity, the value of life and the way replicants are used.

When you consider the fact that this film was released in 1982 and, with the exception of the flying cars and the depiction of computers, that it holds up so well to the test of time, something few science fiction films do, is a testament to the brilliance of this masterpiece. Forty years later and it is still widely considered on of the greatest science fiction films ever made. I was 11 years old when I first watched this film at the AMC Fiesta Village movie theater in Mesa AZ, I was young and completely confused by the story but as I grew older and watched it more it became more clear to me. I think everyone has a their own interpretation of the meaning of this film and that is what makes it so good. Absolutely Ridley's best work and his interpretation of the story, and the reason why he included the unicorn footage in his edit of the film, was that Deckard was also a replicant. The sequel does not represent this and Denis Villenuve took it in a different direction, something I think was a mistake.

In all the years I've been watching this movie, I never noticed the blood before. And I thought he ONLY drank Johnnie Walker Black Label. I had to go back and re-watch it (just that scene). That's the only scene in the entire movie where he's not drinking Johnnie Walker Black Label & I'm guessing it's because the blood wouldn't have been as visible.

Rachel is the unicorn. She's a one-off. A unique replicant with a normal human lifespan. It would probably help if you also watched the original release version of the film. The one with Harrison doing a voice-over throughout the movie. Most don't like that version, but I think that would really help someone who's not really in to 'sci-fi' understand more of what's going on. It's really a movie you have to watch more than once to 'get-it'. Then on to Blade Runner 2049. The sequel I didn't want, but am very happy we got. It's awesome too.

I've always found it helpful to view the replicant's behavior like children, because they honestly are children only being 3-4 years old. They have love, fear, and empathy like any other human. But they also have that childlike playfulness and selfishness. And while children aren't cruel by nature, the replicants have absorbed cruelty and manipulation from the world they were born into. They just want to exist, and will go to violent or cruel lengths to do so.

As a 41 year old who has been watching Blade Runner consistently since he was 7 years old (I'm a Blade Runner veteran!), I can say that this film's subtle (and often hidden) emotional and thematic beauty only grows as time goes by. And I think that's the point. Our time is limited. Most of us experience the blessing of living much longer than four years. No matter how dark the world gets, use the eyes that your maker gave you, create memories, and take nothing for granted. This film is an enduring masterpiece with a deeply spiritual soul.

A global poll of sci-fi fans voted “Blade Runner” the greatest science fiction movie of all time. “The Final Cut” is probably the best choice of the many versions of this classic. The sequel, “Blade Runner 2049”, is superb too and definitely worthy of a spot on Ms. Popcorn’s to-be-watched list.

Deckard found a reoccuring dream of his own (the unicorn) among the "memory" files given to the advanced models while he was researching the case. Apparently his partner knew something about this as well since the final figure he left was a unicorn.

@wingsclippedwolf 2 жыл бұрын

With the sequel taking away the ambiguity of Deckard's own humanity, that is as good an explanation as any.

@UberNoodle 2 жыл бұрын

No that's not in the source material. That's something extra tacked on to it. Nowhere in the actual film does it say he recognised the dream as anything other than a little bit strange. And there is disagreement among the people who made the film whether or not he is a replicant. In the end, the themes of the story play out better if he's not one. Replicants are artificial beings who discover their own humanity, and he is a human who rediscovers his own humanity. If he's a replicant too, then basically his character arc is the same as the other replicants. I know Ridley Scott loves to say how Deckard is a replicant, but it's just a clever plot conceit that kind of ruins the story and breaks the film.

The partner knows that Deckard is a replicant too, he tells him "you have done a man's job" after Roy "dies", implying that he is not a real man. Also, the unicorn shape origami is basically means that the memories from Deckard are also created and inserted as they mentioned early in the memory as being a practice used to make the replicants more "human".

A favorite factoid related to the story: back in the 2003 SF mayoral election, a journalist for The Wave magazine managed to get the candidates to answer a bunch of Voight-Kampff questions. All but two of the candidates failed. One of the candidates who failed - with very Lyon like responses - was Gavin Newsom, who is therefore probably a Nexus 5.

All us old timers saw this in the theater, so we can easily deal with the Final cut and/or Director's cut. But the first time really should've the Theatrical cut, to get all of Decker's introspective dialogue. It is all left out of these other versions.

I remember not liking the voiceover when I first heard it, but seeing this reaction makes me realise it was needed for many people. I loved the atmosphere and slowish pacing of the film. Some people want all the plot points and story explained in detail to them, which saps their ability to think things through. A bit of shame because it ceases to become an intellectual experience then.
