Blade Runner - re:View

[@Dont_Spoil_Act_3]

Suddenly I crave awfully written Harrison Ford narrations for every movie he's been in, they are a comedy gold mine: "I was about to be frozen in carbonite, even for a guy like Darth Vader, that was just cold."

[@chaosmos24]

This deserves more attention.

"The 'Na-zis' opened the ark of the covenant, I did 'not-zee' that coming, so I closed my eyes.. not wanting to see what was about to come. I turned a blind eye to what followed and they were all dead within a blink of an eye."

"I'd quit because I'd had a belly full of killing - everyday ended with a tums festival." (Blade Runner US theatrical cut)

Sushi. That's what Leia called me after I had been frozen in carbonite; cold fish.

"I shot Greedo in the face and paid the barkeep for the mess. What followed was a downward spiral of alcoholism and sleepless nightmares about his purple eyes leaking out of his green head. I cried each time I visited his grave, wishing I could just tell him how sorry I am for being such a scoundrel. Years later I have found out that he shot first, but the damage was already done - I continued drowning my sorrows by sleeping with Luke's sister."

I can totally understand why some people don't like 'Blade Runner' and it's interesting to hear a critique. It's just a shame that half of the criticism springs out of the "urban myth" that the unicorn footage is an outtake from 'Legend'. It was filmed on the 15th October 1981 (at 96 fps) during photography for Blade Runner (2.5 years before 'Legend'), as evidenced by the clapper board you can see in behind the scenes materials, which says "Blade Runner". Also, Scott is far from George Lucas in this case. Being like George Lucas is changing your films and then preventing everybody from seeing the unchanged version. Scott put all the versions in a nice box-set for everybody to enjoy.

Q: Is Rich Evans artificial? A: Of course he is. Q: It must be very expensive. A: Not really.

[@SamsChanneI]

I think the "Deckard is a replicant" thing in the Final Cut works best as an insinuation. The point isn't that he is a replicant, it's that we can't tell what separates man from machine anymore. That one doubt in the audience's and Deckard's own mind as to his true origins is a final note to think on; we've fallen so low as a species that we've made slave labor and assassinated beings with as many rights to live freely as we do. Good science fiction should challenge us philosophically and question the human condition, and that ambiguity hanging in the air is why it works for me...which they'll probably fuck up in the new movie with explicit plot information.

[@thebestofthebest5724]

Sams ChanneI you excited to see Spider-Man homecoming? Btw I am local subscriber

[@pikpikcarrotmon]

I think if there is a problem with it - I certainly don't see it like RLM does - it's that the movie doesn't actually ask the question, but it answers it definitively. If the question is going to be ambiguous, the unicorn scene has to go, and if the unicorn scene stays, the movie should ask the question. The book actually addresses it head on, with Deckard blundering into another bounty hunter. The two become suspicious of each other and use their best techniques to prove that the other is not a replicant. I'm not really saying the scene would work in the movie, but the movie provides a definitive answer to a question it never really asks and that might be why Jay is put off so heavily. To him it just gets in the way because it's not just an insinuation. That said, I don't understand why Deckard being a replicant robs the movie of any dramatic weight. There are plenty of other movies where you're meant to sympathize with a robot and it works (Bicentennial Man, A.I. come to mind). I feel for Rachel when she learns the truth, because the distinction between real and artificial has become so blurred that she (and the other Nexus 6es) are essentially just nonhuman people.

[@rachelvickers9545]

Sams ChanneI Agreed! 100%!

[@alroth1035]

I would agree, but I'll also add that it's less about humanity having "fallen low" and more at what point does the thing we once saw as an object (because that is what robots, computers and other pieces of technology are to us today) becomes a 'person', or one to value as such anyhow. The matter is really interesting because it opens up the question of what makes humanity special, as in, what defines an individual and what makes it so that they should be defended by means of rights and so on. I'm a bit baffled as to why this wouldn't be interesting.

[@KirkGently]

The first time I saw Blade Runner it was the "Director's Cut" with the unicorn and all the insinuation, I love it and I think it makes for the best version and take on the film. What you are saying about all of it "having no meaning if that is the case" is one perspective for sure but, the way I always took it is; There WAS a Deckard at some point, and like what's her face, Deckard was implanted with the memories of the previous Deckard because of him being such a pro blade runner. Look at everyone else in this movie aside from the replicants; everyone is shitty or fucked up in someway, because anyone with money, and who was able to survive the trip moved off world. So only the feeble and shitty types are left on Earth. I like the idea of Roy saving Deckard because of his new found love of human life and experiences, but he also could have saved him because he is essentially helping a bro out, he knows he's got a thing with Tyrell's new replicant niece and basically just spent the last encounter trying to make the alcoholic pessimistic replicant Deckard take the opportunities he has and use them to their fullest... I dunno, I am not disagreeing with what you say but this is just always the way I have seen the movie and I loved it for it. I am excited but nervous as all hell for the sequel...

[@AKAdaJoker14]

I treat the “is deckard a replicant” question as just that. Nothing conclusive, just bringing up the point that there’s not much difference between replicants and humans. Just like replicants we also have a time limit. “It’s too bad she won’t live but who does”

[@TofumanFC3S]

For me he’s always been *probably* human, and the whole thing is how the people left on this dystopian, future Earth of 2019 are miserable and coping, somewhat removed from what it means to be human. Meaning the replicants and humans are so stuck in the same situation, the smallest signs (such as the origami) can make a man doubt if he’s “real”… There’s no real proof he isn’t a replicant for himself or the viewer of the film since it’s established memories can be implanted. The police department could have easily pressured the Tyrell Corp. to fix their problem by creating Harrison Ford shaped Nexus 7 with memories of being “the best of the best” Blade Runner and activated him at the beginning of the story to do the dirty work. He has no family or friends, lives alone in a shitty apartment, and only the police chief would have to be in on it… Still, like I said: I like the “Is he…? Nah!” and choose to believe he’s human. Ridley chooses otherwise.

[@mustheinsane166]

[@beane6426]

Maybe I’m misremembering, it’s been a while since I read the novel, but doesn’t Dick end the story on the same note? It’s made unclear if he’s a replicant.

[@ryanrotolo1102]

I agree. It’s like Inception, where the fact that there is a question at all is truer to the theme than any answer could be. If he was a replicant, you’d just pick apart the movie and point out the difference between his character and a normal human. If he wasn’t, you’d just have to take the movie as exactly what it presented and side with the idea that humans and replicants are different.

'I have sex with my replicat'

[@maxter328]

They misunderstood the missing "chemistry" of the relationship. The scene where Deckard has sex with the girl is supposed to be cringy, even worse: it's supposed to be rapey. You see, Deckard lived a life of killing these machines, these "replicants". His life is a mess, he's an alcoholic. The one thing that helps him sleep at night is the knowledge that these replicants are NOT sentient, human beings. They are subhuman. They are machines. No different than a toaster. Then comes this robot chick and throws it all upside down. She has feelings, she emotionally breaks down when faced with the reality of being a robot. But worse of all: he starts caring for her. BUT, if she has all these human characteristics, then all those replicants he killed may have had human characteristics too. And then, he becomes a murderer. So he's raw. He doesn't care. He tries to be as cold and distant as possible. Because he's fucking a toaster. And moreso, because he's the best toaster killer ever. And after giving in to his impulses, and after all is said and done, they still fall in love with each other because of a very simple reason: they're both lonely. And that's all it takes.

[@maxter328]

Dick pole Exactly. But it is really interesting, because Deckard dehumanizes her as a coping mechanism. When the combat replicant spares him near the end, he finally realizes that they have feelings, that they can understand life in a similar way that we do, that their lives and memories DO matter. With this new understanding, he's free to love a replicant. But also, he retroactively becomes a killer. There's a reason why they don't use the word "kill" or "murder" when dealing with replicants. Deckard can no longer be an effective Blade Runner, because he's realized that the replicants "die" and suffer from all the fears and pains we do when dying.

[@DrPepperPower87]

So true. I'm always extremely confused that so many people don't get the point of their whole relationship. Most people who critsize the movie are saying they can't connect to the protagonist or their love story while the thing that is shown here is how ugly Deckard behaves towards replicants until he changes. This is a sci-fi noir flick and not some rom com where you should feel happy for the love of our protagonists. This movie is about humanity, science and life and not about two people who are happily in love with each other. The themes of the movie should make you connect to it and not that you root for Deckard.

i always took the weird scene with harrison using the goofy voice as him trying to come across to her like a stupid, relatively harmless perv. "you'd be surprised what a guy would go through to get a glimpse of a beautiful body!" she's to think that's exactly what he's doing; he certainly doesn't want her to believe for a moment he's someone to take seriously. because if she takes him seriously, she may see him as a threat.

[@SgtZima]

That would be a good plan, except his voice is so comical that nobody in the movie world could possibly believe it's real. Instead of "This guy seems like a harmless perv.", she's thinking "Why is this guy putting on on an obviously fake voice?"

he's putting on the obviously fake voice because he's an idiot. or rather, he wants her to believe he's an idiot, a man stupid enough to believe that voice/story would fool anyone. if she believes he's that stupid, then she'll assume he's harmless.

The funny voice scene with Zhora is lifted from The Big Sleep-- Bogart's character similarly puts on a voice, playing himself off as a nerdy, unthreatening book collector, in order to seem less like a hard-nosed gumshoe and provide a plausible reason for snooping around. I don't think it works as well with Ford as it does with Bogart, but that's probably what they were going for, anyway. I agree that Scott takes the point too far when he claims that Ford *literally* is a replicant. But on the other hand, I think it's equally important that the movie refuses to say he's not a replicant, either-- the question should be raised, but never answered. Because in that world, where lifelike androids are given false memories, *no one* would have any way of knowing if they were a replicant or not, not ever. The movie's dwelling in shadows, meandering pace, and overall sense of malaise contribute to this sense of philosophical uncertainty, yet it ends on a hopeful note-- in the modern world, we may be losing our ability to distinguish between what is "real" and what is "fake," but ultimately, life is life, and has inherent value. I do think even in Scott's various director's cuts, the movie remains suitably ambiguous; a single, dreamlike shot of a Unicorn doesn't definitively prove anything; but it does raise the question, which is important. So I think Jay is getting too caught up in the behind-the-scenes trivia of what the director says in interviews decades-after-the-fact; if you just look at the film on its own terms, the crucial ambiguity holds up, IMO. And for what it's worth, IIRC in past interviews Scott remained playfully ambiguous about the question, not definitively saying Deckard was a replicant. That's much more in keeping with the spirit of the movie. It's only more recently that Scott has gone off the deep end-- and so have his films, unfortunately.

But the replicants care about each other, they have strong feeling about survival and living. Roy batty on the other hand howls like a wounded mammal. In that sense, they truly are more human than human. Deckard finds his own humanity in the nobility of the replicant who allowed him to live. So yeah, if Deckard's a replicant it kind of ruins the most poignant point of the film.

[@glitchedoom]

Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies, so I had my doubts when I started watching this. What can be said that hasn't already been said? However this made me realise that too often we elevate classics to a point that they are untouchable, which is wrong. Art should never be beyond analysis and criticism. There are some strange choices in this movie, it's not flawless, and you revealed details and trivia that I hadn't even heard before.

Which I can't say for a lot of other movies and that's why it's one of the all time great science-fiction classics.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

True. But I think considering the shit this movie got, its not undue to elevate it to classic status. I think also becuz it leaves such an impact on pop-culture, the fact that everyone recognises it and references it. The problem is that if you don’t watch this from a young age, you’ll go through life with increasingly higher expectations becuz of what you hear or read. Its not becuz of the quality of the film but becuz if you keep hearing how amazing a film is, how no one could dislike it, how its perfect, you could begin to think its overhyped and when you watch it it’ll never live up to those stellar and impossible expectations. Films are way better with no expectations ahead of it but with films like these thats hard.

[@andrewjensen8128]

I think it is worth noting that in the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the inspiration/novel depending on the person asked, there is a scene in the middle where Deckard is taken into an police station run by Replicants. They trick Deckard into thinking that he himself is a Replicant. The nature of identity is a theme that Philip K Dick loved. Deckard is later confirmed human in a test. Deckard is a Human by the author's own admission. It's just that a central religious figure who preaches Empathy is actually a Replicant. Humans are also dependent on machines where they program their own mood and they also use machines to emulate the feeling of empathy. The novel is rather detached and it helps. Phillip K Dick described his book as being about a police officer who gives up his humanity so that he can hunt Replicants. Phillip K. Dick also loved the movie, but he did not see the theatrical release. Blade Runner 2049 is amazing and everyone should play the Blade Runner adventure game from the 90s. It is a mixture of the book and the movie.

The Ganglia Arc Reflex Test, if I recall correctly. The other bounty hunter is more like a replicant than Deckard, who explains how he resolves the dilemma of being sexually attracted to a replicant.

The footage from the unicorn scene is not from Legend, it was shot during the production of Blade Runner and it wasn't used because the producers didn't want to. Ridley Scott didn't even had rights to edit the film, according to the documentary Dangerous Days, he was fired the day after shooting wraped

[@drifter402]

[@kanjiman5032]

I don't make a habit of commenting on KZbin videos but this is so badly-researched I feel I have to. Hampton Fancher did not write the final draft of the Blade Runner script, that responsibility fell to David Peoples. The ending of People's draft, the final shooting script, had Deckard realising he was a replicant - even describing Roy Batty as his brother. The Deckard-as-replicant twist was planned before production even started. Further, the unicorn footage is not from Legend and has been confirmed by multiple sources to have been shot specifically for Blade Runner and then cut from the theatrical version. Also, the original script featured noir-style narration, some of which survives in deleted scenes and the workprint cut, that was eventually scrapped during production. It was significantly better-written and acted than the extremely awkward narration the studio had written and inserted into the theatrical release.

Same. In hindsight I think I was very lucky to have watched it when I was 13 or so, same with 2001: A Space Odyssey, cuz watching it at that age it just clicked, and its stuck in that perfect time-capsule. And when I watched 2049 I got to experience that all over again. I 100% would understand ppl watching this and being bored, especially if they grew up constantly hearing people sing its praise and waxing lyrical, building up the hype way too high, and then being disappointed by it at an older age

On the topic of the goofy voice scene, I actually kinda liked it, because it makes him seem like a horrible detective.

Like he blasts the lady in public as she's running through these glass panels, kinda just blowing the crap out of everything.

I actually think the lack of chemistry between Ford and Young works. Because as you said Racheal is a very emotionally dead Replicant, and while I don't think Deckard is, he's still a very rough cut and cynical man. So I think having the two start to act all lovey dovey around each other would undermine their jaded characters as well as the very sombre tone of the movie. And their on screen relationship is really no different from couples in most other classic Noir films. Plus script is strong enough that they don't need to act like Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield.

[@Modenut]

To me the greatness of Blade Runner isn't about "themes" or any kind of moral quandries. It's the visual language (combined with the glorious score from Vangelis) that attracts me.

In the film (from memory), there's a part where the main character (portrayed by Humphrey Bogart) goes into a bookstore and disguises himself by putting on dark sunglasses, flipping up the brim of his fedora at the front, and putting on an odd voice. It's a little wacky, just because Bogart plays such a serious and straight character throughout. Least that's what I figured.

The term "blade runner" referred to a smuggler of medical supplies, e.g. scalpels - in a totally unrelated scifi story. They just liked the name so they lifted it.

[@lunarmoon1969]

notforglory perhaps, but a blade runner is a term for a amputee that utilizes a prosthetic leg that resembles a blade made from alloys or polymers that acts like spring steel. Thus a mechanical body extension. I'm sure that played a role as well. After all he is chasing replicant/synthetics so to speak.

[@alfonzo9000]

Dylan Henty pretty certain that's from the Marvel comic adaptation

[@grantmalone]

lunarmoon1959 Pretty sure those kind of prosthetic legs didn't exist in the 80s and that they only became known as blade runners in reference to the movie (not necessarily because of any thematic link, just because it's catchy and fits, though perhaps both). notforglory is right. They just used the title because it sounds cool and the source material title was cumbersome. Ridley's a pro at doing things that look cool and don't make much sense under scrutiny.

I would say that Deckard being robot like or wooden is very much in line with his character. I don't see it as a detriment to the story that he doesn't have chemistry with Rachael or acts generally awkward. Deckard and every other character, besides the rogue replicants, don't share chemistry with anyone full stop. Isolation was a major theme of the book as well as movie. The people of this future are depicted to be distant and jaded and only through contact with some changed replicants do they themselves change. I think it works.

I saw the movie last month without knowing this whole replicant theory so I honestly didn't make the connection between the unicorn dream and the origami which meant that the dream sequence was just random and had no payoff.

If anything the Unicorn symbolism could just mean letting Rachael live freely with dignity rather than containing and exploiting her but that's just a random thought.

Ridley Scott always liked the idea that Deckard was a replicant though studio execs didnt get the point it was for and wanted it cut. The unicorn footage was specifically made for Blade Runner, its easy to make the assumption that it was from Legend since they are both films made around the span of a few years and both are by Scott but it was a rumor, nothing more.

I also wanted to point out that the Unicorn scene was shot for the theatrical cut and was never used until the Directors cut. And the voice over narration was in the script, but it was only gonna be used in certain scenes. Which was evident in the Workprint that was released a few months before the theatrical cut. But the Workprint wasn't well received, so the studio made Harrison Ford do more voice over narration.
