Blade Runner (The Final Cut)
Blade Runner (The Final Cut) Discussion.
So since the new Blade Runner 2049 is coming out in a few months I wanted to talk about the original movie. Now I'm aware of the many versions there are for the first movie but I'll specifically talk about the final cut because that gave us the twist at the end. Oh and if you haven't seen the movie this discussion will contain spoilers so go watch it if you haven't. As I was saying I prefer the final cut because it doesn't have the meaningless voice over by Harrison Ford and contains more little details. Now, I've only seen the final cut version but I know what the other versions contain and how they differ. The movie is about an hour forty-five to an hour fifty, but the movie is so interesting it flys by. It's more like a noir detective film which is something I've never really seen before in a movie. Now about the movie, it's very complex if you really want to get into it but like I said it's a detective film and Deckard is hunting down replicants which are basically androids. I like the characteristics of each replicant and also how they only have 4 years to live. I thought it was an interesting concept to have the creators of the replicants install actual human memories into replicants so that way they have human experiences and hence develop human emotions. During any of the action, you always felt a sense of urgency for the characters because it always feels like time is running out for one of them but you don't know who. I also love the back and forth with Deckard and Rachel and how he finds out she's a replicant as well. At first Deckard doesn't care what happens to her but throughout the course of the movie and by the end, he decides to run away and protect her. Some of the underlying themes of the movie are about life and death and having to cherish moments in your life. The world itself is amazing as well whether it be the flying cars or just how Los Angeles looks like an Asian foodmarket crowded with people. Then there's the big question at the end of the movie and it's if Harrison Ford's character, Deckard, is actually a replicant. He has a dream about a unicorn and then at the end, Edward James Olmos' character leaves at orgami at Deckards apartment of a unicorn. So does that mean that the dream Deckard had wasn't his own and it was planted in his mind? Ridley Scott later on quite a few years later confirmed that Deckard is a replicant. So then that brings up the question of why is he still alive in the new "Blade Runner 2049"? I could go way more in depth on this topic but I'm sure I've gone on too long so as always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this blog and please comment and share if you liked this blog.
