Damn, your right... 😯

The actor who played Captain Bryant died recently, too

Science fiction writers are some of the best predictors of the future. They see where we've been and where we are now, and they foresee what we may do in the future. They're right quite often.

Yes, I agree that that is what sci-fi does best. And here we do have a very good exemple 😉

It's very likely we are going to go through this process in real life with A.I. and robotics, especially when it comes to defining life and what is alive, which I suspect over the long run, robotics with A.I. that have independent thought and can think, change and adapt will likely be given freedoms like humans have. The question is, will they have to fight for those freedoms or will the human race learn from history and give them freedoms, going on history, new movements usually have to fight for change, but fortunately, we don't have to worry about that for many decades.

Ahahah well said!

Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity. 😅

🤔🤔 yeah, that's really interesting Again, this a great movie to rewatch, you always find something new 👌🏻

Thank you very much ☺️ And yes, "food for thought" love that expression! And I think the sequel really expanded on that 👌🏻

Some? Thats a bit of an understatement. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is massively different to the Bladerunner story. My favourite phillip k dick movie adaptation is colin farrell’s Total Recall - largest because of that final shot - and Bladerunner a close second.

It's disappointing that they got rid of the orginal voice over, with out it people lose perspective that he's telling a story about what happen in his past

And the creator knew that could absolutely happen, which is why they have such a short lifespan

Yes 👌🏻 it doesn't need to be "our world", it "a world". And SF is great because you can basically go beyond what is actually possible at the moment and create any type of conditions and explore very deep themes (especially when it comes to ethical questions).

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Exactly. And these alternate worlds don't even need to be outlandish. Time travel, a time-honored SF subject, enables authors to explore different themes and conditions, as you said, while keeping a more familiar environment. Really, SF allows more options for storytelling.

Never seen that one. But I am under the impression that its a comedy right, not sure if that is the case though 😅

@@ptthatswhatshesaid It is a comedy, directed by Ron Howard ("Apollo 13") and starring Tom Hanks (also "Apollo 13" and "Forrest Gump"). But the mermaid makes it science fiction. 😁

@@ptthatswhatshesaid It IS a comedy. A 1984 romantic comedy with Tom Hanks.

@@paulsander5433 science fiction? Not fantasy? 🤔

​@@ptthatswhatshesaidFantasy, definitely.

Yeah, you were 13, not a little kid! And the movie is not extremelly violent or anything imo. But then again, my parents didn't really minded seeing some very violent movies with me

Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?

Just love how it immerses you in this bleak future and makes you think about humanity and also raises very interesting ethical questions about what we can do and create.

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Philip K Dick wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? which was the basis of this movie. The book and the novel are very different. There’s more humor and poignancy in the book, and a more thorough exploration of what is empathy and what that has to do with being human. I’m not saying the movie is a bad adaptation. It’s a great adaptation because it doesn’t try to be the book.

@@MarcosElMalo2 ok, so now I need to add the book to my "to read" list! 😋

Agreed, it is made that way on purpous yeah. Which is also why I think its a great movie to rewatch

@@ptthatswhatshesaid yea on the rewatch you'll pick up a lot of stuff.

Interesting, they are real landmarks of LA then? 🤔

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Yes, at 3rd and Broadway.

I don't really think it will ever get old!

Really?.. ok now I need to check all the scenes again

True. Drax said, though, that the test is designed to prompt emotional responses. If that means things like anger, increased heartbeat, etc. it wouldn't necessarily require questions.

@@Calamity_Jack ok, that makes sense. The fact that it is called a test makes you assume you are being questioned anyway 🤔

@@ptthatswhatshesaid True, true! But then, that prompts memories about the old joke about having to study for the urine test. 🤣

@@Calamity_Jack 😂😂😂

Roy is the best! 😂😂 Just love how Rutger Hauer played the character

Damn, he never stops! 😯

@@ptthatswhatshesaid He voices Po's dad in Kung Fu Panda. He's a wonderfully versitile actor.

If Hong doesn’t win some kind of lifetime achievement award before he passes away, I’m going to be convinced that Hollywood is still way too racist and is truly dead.

@@user-zx9jq4pv1w I do recognized him from a loooot of movies yeah

@@turbopokey they tend to forget character actors, just worship celebrities! 🙄

Yes, thank you very much ☺️ And the soundtrack is great yeah, love the atmosphere in this movie 👌🏻

Yeah, I think Ridley just decides things like that on a whim 😅 Blade Runner 2049 is totally worth watching in my opinion! And I think it goes deeper into the theme of the movie, which she was really interested in. Ex Machina I definitely been putting on the list 😉 and The Thing I really want to rewatch and show to her

Very, very interesting 🤔

Assuming Deckard didn't have to have his eyes replaced due to a relevant damaging his eyes. That might have been one of the reasons why he left the job.

People are of course entitled to like what they like, but personally, I think everyone should enjoy good movies regardless of the genre.

For now, there are a lot of exemples of her liking and disliking. Just want to take away any prejudices she might still harbour against the gente :)

@@Calamity_Jack exactly, don't need to change her preferences, just that there are a lot of very good movies she was missing out 😅

Thank you! 🤗 Makes sense that she doesn't have an expiration date and I also am of the opinion that Deckard is not a replicant

Congratulations, being human is overrated 😆 A lot of people have referenced Dark City in the past yeah :p And you are right, people might laugh at the representativos we now make of movies taking place in the 2040's or 2050's 😂 but yeah, its not the future its "a" future

I think I watched the original version when I was a kid 🤔 but since then its always been this one (or a similar one xD this has so many versions) Love to know all the behind the scenes stories and conflicts! 😂

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Maybe it's because I'm old school, but I like the original cut.

Just a great final monologue 👌🏻

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Chef Kiss monlogue

For myself, I never really trust in wathever Mr. Scott says... 😅 I've seen him contradict himself too many times! But hey, we do have a sequel now 😉

Also the screenwriter did not think he was a Replicant, and Harrison Ford did not think he was a Relicant. Only Ridley Scott does, and made changes in the later editions to support his personal perspective.

Thank you! 😉

Yeah, I also see it as just a Ridley Scott thing.. it kinda goes against the point of the film 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh, that one would be really interesting! Gonna add to my list xD

Thank you so much! ☺️

Also Douglas Trumbull, Visual Effects Supervisor

Philip K. Dick actually died during this movie's production, hence the in memoriam to him in the closing credits

Absolutely, those are the 2 aspects I love the most about the movie ☺️ the themes and the atmosphere

Thank you so much 🤗 And to be fair, this is a movie that beings up a lot of deep subjects

We discussed that pretty heavily in our law courses here too. Its kinda necessary to be ready for it

@@ptthatswhatshesaid absolutely, if a child robot is self aware and is bought and abused by a pedophile. Doesn’t the courts step in and have laws for protecting sentient beings?

Ok, that one I know she has never seen (and would like it I bet!)

I've seen some people reference the shine in Deckard's eyes, still need to see where that happens though

U.F.O.(you feel overjoyed) yakisoba.

Checked those names you guys referenced and it all just seems delicious 🤤 we got a new japanese spot that opened near us, so... we need to go see if it has any of that!

I agree!

That one I think even myself haven't seen it 🤔 at least all of it, just seen 1 or 2 scenes

@@boojeboy1 Please! You do know that the unicorn scene was added well after the Blade Runnee was released. Ridley Scott had artistic control of this movie until minutes before the studiio took control. If he had wanred to Scott could have made aooarent that Deckard was a replicant. So why didn't he?

@@blindlemonpledge2556Then why shoot the scene with the origami unicorn in the first place? And why do you think directors HAVE to make things glaringly obvious and apparent? Was it obvious that the brunette was a Replicant? Nope. She was a more advanced model and it took Decker longer to determine she was a Replicant than past models. The entire thrust of the movie is that there are androids walking about, living as humans, passing as humans, and come to find out they created one that didn’t even know she was a Replicant. You are SUPPOSED to question the humanity of everyone in the movie-or do you prefer films where the director explains things like a five year old? If so give Michael Bay a try. I’m sure Transformers 9 will be a big hit with you.

@@boojeboy1 the unicorn scene was added way after the movie wss relessed. Did you miss that oart? It wasn't cut from the original print. Get it?

Always heard a lot of good things about that one, never seen it though 🤔

@@ptthatswhatshesaid put it high upon the list along with "12 Monkeys"

@@lethaldose2000 allright then, will definitely consider it 👌🏻 12 Monkeys is another great one I still need to show her for sure

Im curious of how much of Blade Runner 2049 she could predict 😜

@@ptthatswhatshesaid When are you going to watch BR-2049? Is it true that Lucy served in the army ? maybe they taught her some secret method of reconnaissance ?

@@jabbaplay6579 not sure when, we already have the next weeks schedualed, I suppose it also depends on the success of this video 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 There is so many stuff to show her! Ahahah I don't know what she learned about reconnaissance, se he was in the paratroopers

@@ptthatswhatshesaid paratroopers ?? such fragile girl ? Lucy can really fight and shoot ??? that so cool !!! but hard to believe, may be Lucy can tell about it ? would be ineresting.

@@jabbaplay6579 ahahah! But don't call her a fragile girl though! 😜

Yes, even watching the movie I thought about that, how civilizations in real history crafted the breeding of people with the intent of them to be slaves 🤔

Oh I've always heard of that one, but never saw it. Will definitely add it to our sci-fi list

Yes, I find the music and ambience quite relaxing tbh 😋

Well, thing is... I also have a very sadistic sense of humor 😂 I also love horror and slashers and all of that, Im trying to make her see some of that stuff but she is afraid of getting too scared! But I think we would enjoy seeing that kind of brutal movie together 😋 About sci-fi, she might continue saying its not her thing but I think we are winning her over, she is getting more and more used to it!

So he was a more recent model than the Nexus 6? Could have made him a bit stronger then 😝 well, that makes his interactions with Bryant and Gaff quite interesting indeed! I personally think that making him a replicant kinda goes against the film purpouse though

Interesting 🤔 never heard of that one

About the book I don't know because I haven't read it yet, but BR 2049 is a masterpiece on its own right in my opinion 👌🏻

Great choices! I don't really count xD I've seen all of those and love them all 👌🏻 But besides Casino, I dont think she has seen those 😋

It is a great movie to rewatch I agree! You get more and more stuff every time

That's the french parkour movie right?! I think I saw it when it came out 🤔 but I know for certain that She has never seen it

No it isnt

🤔🤔 hadn't thought of that. Not sure if its related, but it does have a lot of similarities! xD

@@ptthatswhatshesaid The strength of the Daryl Hannah Kill Bill/Blade Runner connection is a matter of opinion, I suppose, but there's no doubt that the Kill Bill movies are absolutely full of nods and references to earlier movies. There's a fun video called "Kill Bill - Everything's A Remix" that points out some of the references. There's also a video from Vanity Fair called "All 58 References in Kill Bill Vol.1". Both are a fun watch!

@@victorsixtythree oh interesting 🤔 need to check that out!

I never thought about that. That's awesome. "Now you saw that yourself, with your own beautiful blue eye." - Bill.

Yeah, I loved how it built on the original and expanded the world and story 👌🏻

I agree that this movie is even better on rewatches 😋👌🏻

The glowing of the eyes was really something I was not aware of. Was it also on the original version?

@@ptthatswhatshesaid yes as was the origami unicorn but his dream wasn't in the theatrical cut

Yep, Gattaca is amazing. They should also react to Sushine.

Thank you ☺️ But yeah, I just think that good sci-fi brings up very interesting questions. Gattaca I also have never seen, would be a first time watching for both of us

Thank you 😋 My favourite version continues to be SHE THAT'S WHAT SAID! 😅

Yes, she needs to see back to the future xD Kiss of the Dragon Im not familiar with, but I like the chopsticks for weapons description 😂

@@martinacusetti8002 tbh I do consider it a masterpiece of its own right 👌🏻

Not a bad idea.. 🤔😅

Hey there, thank you for watching our video and for your recommendations ☺️ And yeah, we usually speak a lot 😅

Agree, i do love the theatrical version, is way better than the final cut.

@@russellward4624 😢😢😢 I know...

Yeah, guess it was really just an experiment 🤷🏻‍♂️ them thinking they are human would just make them not to want to accept to be slaves!

Yes, the studio insisted on a voiceover and 'happy ending' version because they were afraid it was too obscure and bleak - missing the whole point, of course!

I thoroughly disagree withthis being the best version. This was the last version and the directors idea of what he wished it would have been. The graphics of this one was however improved. The best one was the original theatrical with voiceovers made to make it an old detective noir movie. The original explained things far better to those who werent familiar with the book. The director didnt want the voiceovers. But several audience tests of the non voice over version the director wanted failed to impress them. When the voice overs were added, a greater portion of the testors liked it better so the people on charge decided to put the voiceovers in. Also the first one explained that Rachel had no time limit like the early models. Sadly though this original movie barely even paid for itself and the investors. Then came several new versions like the directors cut that the director refused to put his name on and used the Alan Smithee name which in hollywood means the actual person refused to put their real name on it. The book did not in any way do anything to imply Deckard was a replicant. There were 6 diiferent versions released later all just to stroke producers and the directors egos and wallets. The happy ending for Rachel and Deckard was far prefered by me. Blade Runner 2049 in my opinion was barely understandable and really went off on Deckard and Rachel both being replicants. I hated BR 2049 as it was just made to serve the fans who wanted Deckard to be a replicant too. You also have to remember there wasnt much SCIFI in movies that had good stories and budgets except the space related ones. At that time there wasnt much to watch that presented the socalled good guys (Blade Runners) as cruel as the replicants they hunted. Also there was t much dystopian Scifi that showed the earth had become acrappy place to live only inhabited by people who couldnt afford to move off world. Now days most everyone has seen several such movies or TV shows. But this was quite unique when released. Also the scifi audience was much smaller and those movie people doing them either based their ideas as star trek or star wars poor clones. It took a decade or so after BR before this movie (during VCR days) that this took off and became a classic. It wasnt popular for some time. Also there was a period a few years after the original that they once again began running it in theaters as the new Blade Runner. Lots of people were pissed when they discovered it just had a few more minutes of footage but was essentially the same movie. Lots of angry people wanted their money back after realizing theyd been tricked into paying to watch this yet again. Most people expected the new Blade Runner to be a complete 2nd BR movie when they paid to see it, not a slightly modified version of the 1st. Once it eventually came out on DVDs, several different versions and alternate endings and scenes were added, different offerings depending on when and where and who you got it from. There was lots of fighting among those who produced it vs the director vs the fans imaginings. There has been a concerted effort to keep the original thatrical version unavailable especially the director who hated that version and wanted his new interpretation to be cannon. I admit that it fits better with the BR 2049. BR is now considered a classic but I highly advise to watch the original theatrical too with voiceovers if you can. It makes it far more understandable for those who have issues understanding all the alternate intentions the later versions didnt explain well.

🤔🤔🤔 now that is way more interesting and complicated than thinking if we should try to replicate old animal species like mammoths and stuff.

Yes :p I've seen that one and I think she would find it interesting

I agree 100% In my opinion the discussion around Deckart possibly being a replicant is much less interesting. These humans being created to be slaves (with specifics strengths and weaknesses) is a much more interesting topic!

He shouldn't be because it ruins the whole point. The whole point is the humans suck. They have no empathy. They're slavers and murder replicants for wanting to be free. Dekkard kills and really has no empathy. At some point he must have started to feel some empathy because he quit. The replicants are fighting to be human and Roy helps Dekkard to find his humanity. Now if Dekkard is a replicant his whole history is probably fake. This is probably his 1st mission and all his memories are implanted. And his whole finding his humanity from a replicant it ruined.

I have to say that I agree yes, it becomes kinda pointless.

Yop, I agree 👌🏻
