Blade Runner 35th anniversary

[TomServofan]

Can you believe it's been 35 years since the Sci-fi thriller masterpiece from Ridley Scott has hit the screen? it's me fave movie ever!

I saw this 26 years ago when i was 10 on video and blew my mind as i thought it was amazing and unique even with a emotional speech on "tears in the rain" plus i thought Sean Young with Daryl Hanna and Joanna Cassidy were fine looking in it and Harrison Ford was fantastic. The music score outstanded me and became my fave score ever! i even taped the theatrical cut on VHS that year on a second VCR my family had as i had my own and saw the re-issue Director's cut in theaters when i was 11 and taped the Director's cut on second video from rental tape on a blank tape, i even bought various versions of the soundtrack on CD, the Marvel comic adaptation, books, computer game when i was 16, shirts and poster. Plus in 2000 when i got my DVD player it was my first DVD purchase with Matrix then in 2008 when i bought my blu-ray player it was my first blu-ray purchase and the movie had an impact on me

It definitely was quite an experience to watch it for the first time. (i must have been something around 8-10 i think, rented vhs)

Very unique movie.

I liked the original release but saw the problems. Especially the voice over and the silly ending that was tacked on. (The helicopter shot was a left over from Kubrick's The Shinning)
The studio did not understand the movie and unnecessarily fiddled with it.
The subsequent Director's and Final cuts show what a brilliant film Scott made.

To me, that voice over nearly everyone trashes is exactly what sold it to me as a noir film with science fiction dressing. And making Deckard into a replicant diminishes the ending to me.

The voice over changes Dekkard's character. It was put in by the studio against Scott's wishes. Yes it is a noir trope. But it makes it a different, weaker film.

Final cut is better
