Go ahead, shoot, talk about blade runner...
Classic PKD story with amazing Ridley Scott production. Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer were both top tier.
Very interested in the 2017 reboot, but not too thrilled about Ryan Gosling. Hollywood needs it to be a blockbuster, so they are relying on a big name actor to draw crowds, as opposed to actually producing quality content.
For any PKD fans, also check out The Man In The High Castle on Amazon. Season 2 kind of blew me away. Really well done series.
Not ts but will do. Someone should start a book threadI love Blade Runner. It's not perfect and I always lose interest at points, but overall it's pretty unforgettable
Should definitely read some Philip K Dick if you're up to it ts
i remember playing fallout 4 and realizing how many subplots are basically bladerunner, so i stopped, rewatched it and then played more of the replicant/synth sidequests and it was more fun
I tried to watch Bladerunner a couple of years ago. I went into it expecting like a big action sci fi adventure movie and ended up being somewhat disappointed with what I got, honestly I thought it was boring and didn't even really pay much attention to it I just had it going as background noise while reading stuff on my laptop.
Last night I gave it another chance, this time giving it my undivided attention since I was watching it on my new 4K curve with a high end soundbar. What an experience. What a movie. I was really blown away by it this time. The story is fabulous, the music is great, this may be one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's like almost every frame, every shot is like a beautiful work of art with so much going on within it.
I can't stop thinking about how great this movie was. I want to talk about it more so post something. What do you think about this movie?
Who wants to talk about the red glow in the eyes?
More gold than red and it was deliberate, Peter Jackson used the same kind of thing(although this time several small LED's) with Galadriel in LOTR reflecting lights in her eyes.
Deckard as a replicant I don't think damages the anti slavery message at all, indeed I think it works with it because the whole story is surely seeing the humanity in the godless replicants(as a stand in for post relgious humans with morality played up via a shorter lifespan) so the lead realising that he is one fits into that. The way the reaction is played at the end surely highlights that, its not some twilight zone shock but rather knowing resignation.
I'm interested in these books, will definitely check them out.
I watched The Final Cut on DVD that came out in 2007 on my 4K curve with great sound bar. It was so awesome I couldn't sleep last night. Movies like this and Apocalypse Now look so great on this TV. The soundtrack for Bladerunner really drew me into the movie, that was some really great music that set such a good tone for the film. I wonder if Bladerunner was released on 4K remaster?
Wtf. Was that scene ever made?There was a scene the wanted to put in but axed because of budget constraints, where Roy kills Terrell and goes into an upper deck of the building only to find a crypt of sorts where the real Tyrell's body is laid to rest.
I thought that would have been a great mind fuck to have placed in there
Wtf. Was that scene ever made?
It was originally intended that the Tyrell murdered by Batty would be revealed to be a replicant, and as a result Batty would head up to the next floor, where he would discover the real Tyrell in cryogenic suspension. Sebastian would then explain that a incurable disease struck Tyrell, who had himself frozen until a cure is found. Subsequently Batty would demand that Sebastian awaken him. Two different versions exist with regard to what would have happened next.
In the first, Sebastian would break down and admit that he made an error years earlier and resulted in Tyrell's death and in a rage, Batty kills him. In the second Sebastian reveals that years before (estimated as 2013) a blackout struck the city, and during the approximately forty-five minutes the power was out, Tyrell's life support failed and he died. Again Batty is struck by despair and feeling there is no hope, he kills Sebastian much as he did in the finished film.
