You got to feel bad for Rachel in this scene.

Not at all. He freed her of synthetic memorys, of invisible shackles of content. If you live only 4 years, carpe diem, memento mori. And he gave her that.

@@Canonfudder You might be speaking a rational, logical kind of sense, but in the moment that's obviously not how the scene is meant to be taken by the viewer, or experienced by either character. Deckard obviously feels regretful of breaking it to her how he did.

He's never encountered and dialogued a Replicant with implanted emotions. That is why he felt bad, when he hurt her.

Johannes Grützmann Good story and good dialogue. I remember when I was 7 or 8 watching Jaws for the first time on STV and falling asleep halfway through. It was so scary that at young age, I could remember every scene and dialogue and Jaws is now one of my favourite movies of all time.

The first time watching iconic movies are always the most special memories ... my most vivid memories of watching movies includes watching Blade Runner (and basically all of Harrison Ford's movies), The Exorcist and a bunch of 80s Hong Kong classic movies ... life is worth living because these memories happened ... at least I hope they're not implanted ... hehe

That was a nice memory you shared. Thank you for it.

I'm sorry kid but that's an implanted memory from Tyrell's nephew

I watched alien 3 as a child in an drive by cinema and it started to rain. That was an experience to say at least

Her career got smashed into pieces too, going into the 90s.😢

Hollywood execs royally screwed over Sean Young. And her image. she was young, and as such did no more than what actors do when they're young. same goes for athletes. but during that time they singled her out in the worst kinda way, knowing people simply follow whatever hearsay is out there. so they lambasted her with all sorts of negativity, little if any of it being true. I feel so sorry for the woman, because she truly was as talented as she was beautiful. and at that time very VERY young. i think during the filming she was only 18. And of course, every scumbag studio exec wanted to exploit her. resulting in her being blacklisted. She loved hollywood but the place is chock full of sleazy ruthless people. Blade Runner owes so much of its success to her and her performance. Thankfully she has seen work on and off screen thru the years, something is better than nothing. but its a hard thing to once be in such bright lights only to late have those memories. Hollywood is all hopes and broken promises. Thankfully theirs youtube.

Sean Young was bi-polar and not medicated for years. She would invade her co-stars lives, screwed up James Woods until he had to get a restraining order against her. Once she was treated and medicated, she was allright. Or so they say .....

BPD or Cluster B people sometimes do feel like replicants...

grumblekin, and yet there's also evidence to suggest that recalling and discussing your memories also reshapes them. It's thought that when we recall a memory, it's not as though we're taking a temporary copy from a permanent backup - we're taking the actual memory itself out of storage, manipulating it and then storing it again by overwriting the original. If two people's recollection of an event is different, then while talking about it they tend to reach a consensus. The next time they discuss it they will remember it the same way - but while that seems to validate the memory, the truth is that now both of their memories may well be wrong. Fascinating and slightly bewildering stuff!

You don't have to be bloody 40! I started having odd memories at age 21!!

I'm 32 and from a young age I could recollect things from as young as 1 Yr old, I still remember playing with certain toys, the family dog and all when I was at the age of 1 all confirmed by the fact we moved when I was 2 and the dog had died, I have such good photographic memory it scares me because sometimes I get recalls of things in my past that I don't want to remember, intrusive thoughts that give me anxiety

Wtf man that sounded like some shit that I am studying in computer architecture

Age does make memory a bit more mysterious. I remember things as I think they happened, but what if there is no real way to be sure I've still got it right - or if I ever had it right. What about things involving only myself or me and one other person who I'm not around anymore....? Things that cannot be proved or disproved.... I'm not sure which weirds me out more: forgetting things that were a part of my life or remembering things from my life in error. What if what I think happened, didn't...? I doubt we worry much about 'fake' memories, but it's not hard to sympathize with Rachel when she does. Which eventually ends with the 'all these moments will be lost in time' idea as well, of course.

You always write what everybody can see for themselves?

Tyrrell orders her death when she runs away after she learns she's a replicant.

😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸​@@andrzejkondracki9796

aaaand here we are, in the month of the facts of the movie

@@defaultcube5363 What's up buttercup? 🙂

'ahead of its time' is correctly applied to ground breaking technology. But its wrong to say a good film was 'ahead of its time' because all the films that came after it were shit. Saying a film was 'behind its time' is a more correct compliment. In the past, people had shit-tier lives often involving death and poverty of family and friends; such hardship created tougher people, some of whom would become involved in cinema. People these days are soft, have little hardship, and so can't produce scences of what hardship does to human behaviour

I have the same thing with the Matrix trilogy, but now that I saw blade runner a couple of days ago, I think I will be constantly rewatching it too.

baroh2413 it shows that humans are the real monsters

He’s not cruel. He is treating her like a replicant. That’s his job. She still came back to him.

Deackard felt annoyed by her because she challenged his professionalism in the first meeting by asking him if he's ever retired a human by mistake ... but she was not really trying to irritate him, she was just worried that Deckard may retire her by mistake thinking that she's a replicant, she was suspicious of her own identity before Deckard arrived (as told by Tyrell), but was not yet willing to face the possibility that she could be a replicant ... thats why the pointed question to Deckard in the first meeting that got them off on the wrong foot ...

Especially since he's a replicant himself.

@@Nautilus1972 Or not. Either way...What makes one human?

@@88feji And this leads Deckard to question his own humanity.

I think the thing was that he was speaking to her like she was a robot rather than a person. Deckard's likely never encountered a replicant as advanced as her and up to this point, out of necessarily, sees them as things father then people despite looking similar. So, he thinks it's Tyrell overstepping his mark and sending his hot toaster out to keep tabs on him and treats her as such and is shocked and horrified when she manifest's genuine emotion. That moment his tact abruptly changes, and he immediately tries to backtrack, but the damage was already done and for the first time in his life, his opinion on replicant's status in the world is challenged. Worth mentioning, Deckard had never encountered a Nexus Six before being "drafted", so has entered this investigation with all his old bias's that just don't work. It's why they constantly surprise him, he's a great detective but he's ill prepared for what they present to him. Which might be why Blade Runners in the new Movies are likely all Replicants, the only way to directly match one in the field is to have a better model.

The beauty of art is that the experience of it is left to open to interpretation. This movie reminds me of that old rhyme how many were going to St Ives. Just how many were human? I counted one: Tyrell.

Ridley said on the commentary that it's open to the viewer's interpretation.

Shaun Tiller if Deckard isn't a replicant then the scene is meaningless. the world has a view of Replicants as nasty and cruel but they forget that they themselves made the replicants that way. it shows that through Leon's shock at Zhoras death (and if Deckard is indeed a replicant his remorse and empathy) and Roy's pain at his practitioner family dying and pretending everything will be okay as time is running out and the humans want them dead out of fear shows that the Replicants are indeed "more human than human"

up until this part you don't know that and he doesn't know it.. so it stills holds weight.. #checkmate 👊

+Stu +Shaun Tiller This scene makes sense because he himself does not know that he's a replicant YET ... Deckard did not know he's a replicant, thats why he's so dismissive and unsympathetic to Rachel when revealing the truth of her real identity ... but her sadness and tears surprises him because he used to dealing only with tough replicants, her fragility surprises him and he began to see her more like a human being at this moment, thats why he relented and apologised to her .. Everything makes sense even if he's a replicant ...

We're in Blade Runner! ❤️

"her eyes were green"

The cgi Rachel look so dowdy and tired looking, I'm shocked Deckard needed to look at the eye to tell its not the same stunning beauty from the first movie ... the whole face is obviously someone with only a passing resemblance to the great beauty of Sean Young in her prime ...

If you watch a higher resolution of the lift scene, the number panel shows that Deckard lives on the 97th floor ... thats an extremely high floor apartment ! And he's got such a great view of the streets with flying cars and other megastructures forming a really evocative sight to behold ...

@@88feji I have been to the 95th floor in Chicago. It is like living in the sky.

Its a rather weak sequel ... don't really care what happens to Rachel since the whole sequel is so weak .. I'd rather exclude the sequel in my memory of Blade Runner ...

Wrong, Women love alpha males. She came back, didn’t she?

@@plumeria66 Except Dickard ain't no alpha male, Leon and Roy both handed him his own ass on a plate! It took beautiful Rachael to bail his sorry behind out from Leon's deadly clutches.

any further comment on this statement 13 years later? loooool

@@Dylan-yf7sn 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗😴

Cool question. I've always noticed that and wondered a little about it. Seems like it makes what's in the picture a little more real, for a second or two anyway, and then it goes away - a bit like the struggle with the implanted memories themselves. But I've never heard any commentary on that....

Bruce Davies Sharp eye.

He researched it while at Tyrell Corp offscreen.

Source on that please?

Rob C My own imagination. Do you want the script to fill you in and spoon feed you every tiny detail?

Depends on the situation.

i mean, it's his job to know. he did extensive research on each of the 5 replicants. just because we don't actually see him do the research doesn't mean it didn't happen

No, he is a human.

@Joe Blow straight out of the demented LIBTARD mind of frederich nietsche. existential nihilism and its finer points of atheistic liberalism has TOUCHED your brain.

If such a thing as a video in 72p existed, it would put twice as much bandwidth strain to the internet. Please try to save my time and notice that this video was uploaded 15 freaking years ago.

Yes

John Jessome thanks.

reksub That is unclear. Ridley Scott has said yes, but the screenwriters and Ford himself have said no. It is a debate that is alive and well to this day.

No he wrote it.

He's human in the book.
