I subscribed to your channel, your content is just superb!! If possible the car chase from the dark knight or dark knight rises, the throne room scene from Last Jedi or the opening scene of the revenant would be awesome!!!
Got the Batman chase from TDKR up th-cam.com/video/w4SlU_nmfUA/w-d-xo.html. Tried getting the Last Jedi throne scene up, but it kept getting blocked by Disney, so I'll have to figure out a way around that. The opening scene of the Revenant one should be up tomorrow or in a couple of hours.
Dude you're amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!
I tried uploading the start of The Revenant last night, but unfortunately is got blocked by Fox in every country except for China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan. So I'll have to figure out a way around that aswell.
Hey man, its all good! I appreciate your top notch content!
In my opinion, the actor playing the interrogator is amazingly cast. He looks as if he came right out of a 1940s print advertisement, perfectly fitting the film noir aesthetics of the scene. Great voice as well.
Morgan Paull. He "played" Deckart during the casting auditions for the movie. He did such a good job that Ridley Scott thanked him by casting him as Holden, the first Blade Runner we see.
@@vincenzoberetta1085 That's quite an interesting piece of trivia on the casting! I'm glad that Ridley Scott chose him.
Couldn't agree more. Overall a great scene and opening.
You’re right about the 1940s...he was Jensen, Patton’s aide killed in a bombing, in “Patton.”
yeah he has a 1940s psychiatrist thing going on...very intense scene
What an atmosphere this movie had.
Amen. And it still looks stunning now.
1:05
I just notice the pupil and iris of the eye actually shrank like its reacting to the fire explosion of the chimney ..
.. the attention to details in this movie is mind boggling
Indeed this movie is pure atmosphere, it's a masterpiece.
And yet it was so overlooked. I mean a box office bomb?
one of the best settings ever in a movie, in my opinion
If you watch this movie when it's cold, dark, and raining outside, it adds to the mood of the movie.
Thanks 👍🏼 Now I will watch it after 6 months. Actually I watched a movie Weathering With You when it was raining in 2020 and since then every year I wait for the rainy season to watch that movie again. Watching a movie with an environment actually does add to the mood of the movie.
I do this with the Twilight movies
Because it was raining in damn near every scene. Like Vancouver BC.
I did back in November '09, and it was a warm rainy night. Really added to the atmosphere of the movie.
Made memories with Shutter Island this way
November 2019. We've arrived.
Where are my fire-belching smokestacks and flying cars!
Exactly why I came back to this scene haha
But 1982 was the real future
There' no flying cars, but we DO have the fires blotting out everything!
@@mutantraniE good questions 👎🏼👎🏼😫😫
The opening scene is truly magical. Shows you a dark future that looks dangerously beautiful and has those beautiful synthetic synthesizers
It's phenomenal. The scale of the city and the Tyrell building, the flaming exhaust towers, the music. It's an amazing piece of film on its own, but it also triggers a feeling in me that I can't really describe. I only feel like that whenever I'm having one of those dreams that seem super real until you wake up. This scene definitely does something to my psyche. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
@@alesin1992 And just think, it was all done with practical special effects and NOT CGI.
It’s not beautiful at all. Gods green trees, mountains, rivers, grass and blue sky, nature is what’s beautiful, not most of men’s creations. Certainly not that city. But that’s just my opinion.
Ridley Scott is from Middlesbrough way (North East England) and asked his team to use the massive ICI chemical plant up there as inspiration for future LA.
synthetic synthesizers....
Is 2019 now and blade runner still look as futuristic as hell.
What about AKIRA? It's also play in 2019
And maybe we will say the same thing in 2049
or maybe our real world has stagnated in advancements...smart phones, flat screen 4k tvs..so what big deal.
I WANT MY FLYING CAR!
The only thing that didn't age well are the monitors tbh
@@geometrydashiuppiter6910 2001 had good monitors
My dad’s favorite movie. Miss you dad....I have been to Los Angeles a few times. November 2019 already....
Live here. Its not so futuristic.
Admiral Semmes Hi Admiral. It is so close reality.
It's always been one of my all-time favorite movies .
Regretfully most people will never get to see it on the big screen as I did when it first came out and this was when theaters really had the huge old screen ... this movie deserves to be appreciated that way .
Sorry you miss your dad , I know what that is like , too .
I have so many wonderful memories of my dad taking me to the movies when I was a kid
@@admiralsemmes6939it’s pretty dystopian irl
Rest in Peace Vangelis, you were an incredible genius 😢
Truly
This scene alone is enough for me to say this movie is an all-time masterpiece.
but at the same time I watch this when I have trouble sleeping
I prefer the second movie tbh
@@FritzEschkobarvangelis did a great job creating his masterpiece of a soundrtack ;)
it sucked, m o r o n
Pains me to say that the composer of this masterpiece of synthetic music has passed away.
Thank you Vangelis. You will not be forgotten. And this score will see to that. 👏
CS-80 was synth used for opening theme its a shame it cost so much.
I always thought this movie was from the late 90s/early 2000s. My jaw dropped when I found out that it came out in 1982. God tier practical effects.
In the special edition the interrogator shoots first.
Peter P in other edition he says maclunkey
I know that reference haha.
That was some fine work
I understood that reference
that's some next level Harrison Ford Star Wars Cantina reference
I never noticed before, but something changes at 3:16. Up to this point, the interrogator is bored and uninterested. After this, it looks like he’s realized what he’s dealing with and his manner suddenly becomes smooth and well practiced. I love how subtle the shift in mood is.
It looks like he was there doing VK tests to all new employees thinking "this is a waste of time, no replicant is going to try to infiltrate Tyrell corp after those 2 got fried" and suddenly the machine gave a result and he realized this one may actually be a replicant.
A timeless masterpiece from 1982 (amazing) and uncomparable even now. This is the future, even 38 years later.
it sucked, m o r o n
This movie would not be the same without Vangelis ingenious music!
Whether it’s the visuals, plot, themes, or music, this movie was SO ahead of its time!!!
RIP Vangelis, thank you for sharing your visions.
I think it's the best aged movie in history.
The special effects still remain. That shows that with good practical special effects you far outperform any modern CGI.
I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is the best aged movie ever
Outperform I wouldn't say. It's very good, and definitely holds up perfectly, but modern CGI is photoreal, so it doesn't outperform it.
Star Wars original trilogy says hi
Metropolis
The Thing
2 THINGS Cinema Taught Me:
1. NEVER cross the streams.
2. NEVER ask a man named Leon about his Mother.
And NEVER shoot a guy who looks like Billy Idol with a blaster. He has seen things you people wouldn't believe.
1. But what if you're being attacked by a giant 'Stay-Puft' marshmellow man? 🤔
@@stefanjevtic7175 what? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
And if they Ever ask you, are you a GOD?! You answer, Yes!!.
@@samotr7713 The stream crossing and 'Stay-Puft' marshmallow man are both references to Ghostbusters (1984)
I made a point to go and see this film on opening weekend in 1982. I was not disappointed!!
One of the lucky ones.
If you look carefully, when Leon first fires the gun, a black shape emerges from it. That's because, as per the making of BR book, originally the gun was supposed to fire a black beam (sort of like an anti-light plasma) but the effect didn't photograph well against the dark backgrounds and was too laborious to create so it was dropped after that one instant.
how the fuck can you see that
@@Bloomzor you gotta slow the video down to .25 speed and its clear as day
Never noticed this. Thank you
How can you not love this movie?
It's always fascinating to remember how people in the past thought the "future" (the past to us) would look.
Every prediction of the future from the past shows a look into their world view and values
It's called retrofuturism
I dont think ridley scott thought this was how 2019 would look.
Instead 2019 was marked with a retarded pandemic and pronouns.
This is not so much the vision of the future that Metropolis was. This was more of a world build, an alternative time line.
This became my favorite science fiction movie of all time . This movie was way ahead of its time when it came out. I have watched this movie so many times I lost count . Never get tired of this classic !
same :)
stunning visuals, breathtaking art direction, the music from Vangelis and the special effects In a world everyone would be right now....
I've just farted.
Watching this with my film class back in November 2019 was a very cool experience to say the least!
oh how i wish i could be 30 and see this in theater when it came out. movie theaters in the 80s and 90s had the pleasure of showing the greatest movies
There are many great sci-fi movie openings Terminator, Aliens, 2001 etc... but this one is the best of all time. Scott's cinematography and Vangelis' music. There won't be anything like this opening.
the most epic, atmospheric, breathtaking and groundbreaking music piece of all time
Breathtaking opening sequence. Rip Vangelis.😢
This is a movie that takes many.. many years to fully appreciate. And even still, most won’t. But if you are one the ones who do, there’s not a fucking thing we can do about it.
Phillip K Dick said in an article that Reuter Hauer's performance of Roy Batty. He nailed it.... wow coming from an legendary author....
I saw this movie in 1982 while playing in a tennis tournament in Macon, GA. I was 14. After matches, my mom took me to the theater. During that July week, we saw Rocky III, E.T., and Blade Runner. Blade Runner was both of our favorites of the 3. All of the movies had merit and were entertaining, but this one was so poetic and beautiful. Tragic too. Blade Runner was a box office flop. It didn’t suit the mood of the times, but it has stood the test of time. People love it because it plays tones that live deep in the human soul & spirit. Blade Runner swims freely into the deep end. It will stick with you if you give it a chance.
I first saw Bladerunner in college. Like you I was drawn to it and impressed with it. I heard that it flopped but over the years it grew a fan fallowing. I saw Bladerunner 2049 on Imax and I like Vennue 2049 LA. 2049 had connections back to the original which had a forties feel abt in its film noir approach. Both films are beautiful to watch.
Brion James made quite a first impression on me when I first saw him as Leon in this opening scene.
Four decades later and this is still one of the most incredible openings to a movie ever.
Fun facts: one of the reasons why it rains so much in the movie was because Ridley Scott was disappointed with some of the set designs and he used the dark rain as an advantage to hide a lot of the sets. Second, just like the book, the constant rain illustrates pollution and climate change! And in general, rain can often be a symbol of darkness, sadness, despair, and gloominess.
Saw this at a 4k screening yesterday. That opening scene and score is so epic. It’s right up there with the star destroyer going overhead in Star Wars for mega film opening scenes.
This movie has bin always my all time favorite. The openingsscene is the best ever , still after all these years.
1980s: _In the future, we have the best city like Blade runner._
2019: _That's how mafia works..._
Friendship to be fair BR’s city is shitty.
i dont think the point of the film is that the city is amazing. its pretty shit
Detroit will be like blade runner and everywhere else will be like bttf 2
It’s amazing how the opening scene manages to depict something beautiful and monstrous. A society that is both a bewildering & jaw-dropping spectacle and at the same time a dystopian & nightmarish eyesore. While technology has advanced at an unfathomable speed and humanity has colonized the stars, at the same time, earth is a polluted, dying cesspool. It does that fact justice and shows it to you as it is. Everything is perfectly put together to show all the beauty and disgustingness of this setting. It’s sad that we seem to be heading towards it in some ways.
this scene establishes the setting, while also establishing the perspective taking in the setting. the close ups of the human eye evoke this perspective masterfully, juxtaposing the extreme establishing shots perfectly.
I have this 4k blu-ray, and it's one of the best movies on 4k. The picture quality and audio is superb with that HDR just makes everything look super good! Love it
2019 has come and gone, and this movie still looks futuristic from 1982. Let’s see how 2049 will be !
2049 is only 26 years away, and 26 years ago (1997) isn’t so different than today, except miniaturization, the internet and AI has come a long way
@@vegasboy5931 Don’t forget Cell Phones, eventually leading to smart phones. Changed the whole way of communication.
thishas got to be one of THE greatest movies ever made. it also had a superb soundtrack
I remember seeing this as a kid in the late 80's. At that time it looked totally plausible that the future would look like this. No nature, no trees, crowd everywhere, some sort of organized mess... It reflects the anxiety of this era. That was meant to be my future. Maybe someday.
This is how I feel about some job interviews.
1982 and this film looks better than 99% of new movies, true passion vs money grubbing
Interstellar is a good sci fi recent movie as well
2:30 love the way the interrogator says "WHAT?"
Its really obvious when you look at the opening scene where the flames are shooting up into the sky that Ridley Scott based on the scenescape overlooking the Wilton ICI chemical works in Teeside near where he lived. The towers that the flames come out of look exactly like those towers in a chemical works.
Still hits me hard when the scene comes up from the crawl. It was awe inspiring when i first saw it. All the hope for the future that was still 35 odd years away mixed with a sadness that it’s not a nice future and a wonder for the architecture and tech,those thoughts and feelings are still here. Less now that it’s all passed but still it’s a beast of a scene.
A movie well ahead of its time. Absolute genius, perfect casts.
I just watched this movie on Netflix for the first time last night and I absolutely loved it and was blown away by it and the cinematography in this movie is absolutely beautiful and the music in this movie was absolutely cinematic🔥🔥🔥
RIP Vangelis
I saw this in the theater when I was 11 years old MIND BLOWN
Never occurred to me that life wouldn’t be just like this when I was 50 LOL
This movie was incredible.
R.I.P. Vangelis, one of the first compsoers of electrical music
Unreal film. Just had a great immersive feel.
One of the best opening ever...this movie is timeless!
Way ahead of its time to be truly appreciated.
"The Ministry of Truth was startlingly different from any other object in sight. It was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air. From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party."

There are movies and then, there is art. I ❤ Blade Runner
Man I love that synthesizer.
Rest in Power Vangelis, Hellas Forever!
The greatest opening 80 seconds in the history of cinema
Timeless classic people will watch this in a 100 perhaps 500 years and love this movie.I love this more and more with every passing year.
2019...no flying cars yet...but self driving cars are almost here :)
Self driving cars and smartphones?... I'm not impressed.
First it was back to the future we let down back in 2015, now we've let down blade runner 😔
exactly, how many more years? hopefully before November 2049
Flying cars was a dumb idea and dangerous
@@mhdfrb9971 it's not a dumb idea, it's the future
Ridley Scott is one of the best film makers of our time
I am here em 2021. São Paulo, Brasil. Sao Paulo is a third world metropolis, with huge buildings, opulence and slums. Here are shindus, Chinese, Japanese, Europeans, Arabs, Jews, Portuguese, Bolivians ... A chaotic and lonely city like the globalized Los Angels of the film ... I was here, watching this video. Me and my virus.
Good Bye Vangelis... RIP
I first watched this in 84 or 85, I was 8 or 9. I will never be able to wrap my brain around the fact that I live farther into the future than this movie took place.
Never realised just how good Brion James, is, in this scene.
He works out, early on, that the whole test is going to pot, and that he's going to be exposed, very quickly. You can see him get more and more frustrated, and desperate, as it goes on, until he can see only one way out...
I’d never seen this movie before...
until I bought it when I was in Iraq as a young solider in 2005 ...
to this day I’m convinced this film saved me mentally 😳🤷♂️
My man, that must have been the most surreal escapism experience ever. Can't even imagine watching something like that while stationed in a warzone.
This is alternative 2019 cyberpunk world...this is the best movie ever ♡
Masterpiece of modern cinema, stands the test of time and shits on heaps of recent similar genre movies.
Best. SciFi. Opening. Ever!
i like it more than todays CGI
R.I.P Vangelis
RIP Vangelis! What an incredible artist you were!
Might as well say “Los Angeles, Present Day” now
Los Angeles, pre-COVID times.
I never get tired of watching this film...👍
Fact : Leon’s Blaster was supposed to emit Black Electro Particle Mist but after numerous attempts it was a fail , btw did anyone notice Det. Holden unholstered his Blade Runner Blaster after the second shot ?
Good catch!
Actually it looks like Holden was getting ready to shoot as he asked Leon the question about his mother. He has his hands underneath the table just like Leon, he just didn't shoot in time.
Actually you can tell they draw down on each other roughly the same time. First Leon and then Holden after he puts out the cigarette.
Maravilloso y pesadillesco al mismo tiempo, extraordinario, pone la piel de galliina.... Blade Runner es la obra maestra definitiva .
I'll never understand anyone who prefers 2049 over this.
You do not understand that this is a dystopian and totally horrible future, despite the technological greatness, it is a ruined and dead world
This is not a movie.
This is art at 24 frames per second.
When I started as corpo in Cyberpunk 2077 while on the vehicle in the beginning it instantly took me back to the opening shots of this.
Holden doesn't Die ;) he's shot a lot , but long deleted scenes show him in a hospital , in a pod on a ventilator and deckard interviews him on the event
RIP Vangelis. Unparalleled virtuoso talent
I watched this movie for the first time two weeks ago being high asf…
One of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
Thank You
Way ahead of its time...
This is how LA looked like yesterday on the 4th of July
can’t believe they made a movie about the 2020 la fireworks!
I swear it looks so much like the original opening scene lol
Ok, he had a rough childhood
No more questions.
can't believe that this is a movie made in 1982
Well Kubrick made 2001 back in 1968 so not really surprising
Here's my input I'd say The setting of blade runner was more 2091 than 2019.
The GOAT
YES. No doubt about it.
The greatest film intro ever
really minor thing, but i love how unnaturally fast some of Leon's responses are in this scene.
Blade Runner isn't so much a movie you watch as much as something you experience.
