Pete in Lincs Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 A Remade trailer for the film on Youtube. love it. Enjoy Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 It definitely gets better when it cuts back to the Vangelis soundtrack......IMHO Bladerunner is still one of the best Sci-Fi films of all time. Personally I still generally prefer the original 'Voiceover Cut' to the 'Director's Cut' although the ending is more than a bit cheesy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Me too. Original UK release, With voiceover. I think it adds atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Agreed, one of my all time favourites. I prefer the directors cut but only because I know what is going on, if it your first time of watching the voiceover helps to make more sense of it all. One of the best soundtracks ever as well (along with the Blues Brothers). Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Me too. Original UK release, With voiceover. I think it adds atmosphere. Is that the one where Decker and his simulant 'friend' escape to the country in a truck but surrounded by advertising hoardings? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Magic movie and yes a classic but deffinitely one for the big screen. Thanks Pete. Maybe I'll try it again now we have a large format TV. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Yup that's the one.....The 'Director's Cut' does a better job of resolving the plot, but loses some of the unique atmosphere provided by the voiceover of the original IMHO. First saw it at the cinema and it's stuck with me all these years.....Visually it's still never been matched, Cameron's much vaunted 'Avatar' looks like it was drawn in crayons by a six year old In comparison.

Max Headroom Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 What's with the origami birds btw? Never got that bit. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) This was discussed in an earlier thread on here. It came down to this, The Detective making the Origami unicorns (Gaff) is making a point & it is a clue as to what is going on. In one version of the film, Deckard dreams of a Unicorn. This implies that he also is a Simulant & has implanted memories, Based upon the memories of Gaff. The Decard simulant idea is reinforced in the books of K W Jeter. And, If you watch the youtube clips below, Deckards piano has old pictures on it, Exactly as the other simulants had. The only jarring note is it seems that his wife left recently. But then note what Rachel says in the car, & his reply. Personally I don't care either way. I just sit, soak it in & enjoy it, whichever version I watch is breathtaking in concept & execution.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) What's with the origami birds btw? Never got that bit. Trevor Now that's a good question.....I have some theories! Edited October 20, 2013 by Sgt.Squarehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Was going to expound on my theories at length here.....But then something new occurred to me and I need to check the film to be sure! In the meantime, here's some clips from the cutting room floor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPeN0xZDpg Edited October 20, 2013 by Sgt.Squarehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
