Blade Runner's ending is the best! It's not a simple hero kills everyone. The movie ends with the antagonist overpowering the hero but remained the better person by not killing Deckard, but instead relaying a replicant's very human-like thoughts to Deckard, to us.. I was really really impressed by this scene
That's why it is non-sensical that Deckard suppose to be (according to Sir Ridley Scott himself) a replicant. It's licvidating the whole point of the "rain monologue", as that scene is about Deckard being changed by a dying androids last moments.
He is more of a soulless guy, who is too much into his work. But it is like a necessity in his work, to be cold and not attaching any feelings to synthetics, to be more sufficient "terminator", but in this film of course he is changing, and changes his mind about them.
Nothing about the scene where the replicant is used as Christ symbol? The dove, the nail in the hand, looking for his creator/father and asking for more time, saving the men (Harrison Ford) from falling?
There is an essay on christian meaning in blade runner. And its' the final level of lecture of that movie, the deepest and most fascinating. Even if I disagree with part of Dan Newland essay, some symbols are too obvious. In addition to his findings, we may wonder - why is Rachel named Rachel, and not Margareth ? - why is Tyrel corporation a pyramid and not a skycrapper ?
+Thazer, The Lore Master One thing is for certain, they ran out of original and creative ideas long time ago. This weak shit is just simply pandering to morons.
For all those wondering about the Voight-Kampff test in the movie and how it works here is an explanation. Replicants are emotionally immature and have difficulty projecting emotions and/or concealing them. This is why the Blade Runner interrogating Leon worked out so quickly that Leon was a replicant. This is also why Roy Batty and Pris act so awkwardly, especially with that kiss, they are experiencing emotions they are not prepared for. They are highly intelligent adults with a child-like response to their own emotions- when they choose to outwardly express their emotions that is. Some replicants, in particular Nexus-6 ones, develop their own emotional responses and in the case of Rachel have no idea they are actually replicants. The Voight-Kampff test works by measuring emotional responses. Since the Blade Runners must have a list of emotional/physical responses which are linked to each individual replicant, then it is simply a matter of asking various probing questions to build an emotional response profile. Further questions are applied for cross-referencing and with each verbal response, and emotional response, from the replicant, a blade runner builds up a profile until he finds a match. These questions are often linked to a replicant's implanted memories. The profile created from the interrogation matches the profile which the Tyrell Corporation has issued in their records for each and every replicant. These records contain a replicant's: implanted memories, emotional pysche and pyschological profile. This is why Deckard had to ask up to 90 questions for Rachel; her verbal answers and emotional responses are highly advanced, mature and human. However on a subconscious level that initial profile is still there and thus detectable only to the most skilled of Blade Runners. That's why the Voight-Kampff test can make the distinction between human and replicant. The implanted memories are a crucial factor to understanding this test. Without this a human who is mentally disabled, slow or autistic, would be falsely identified as a replicant. /// Finally for Deckard I have a theory of my own. Deckard is human but some kind of personal tragedy befell him, something so severe it would have made him a recluse; housebound. I believe the Tyrell Corporation implanted memories, from someone else, to cushion the emotional trauma Deckard was experiencing and thus enabling him to manage his depression and continue working as a Blade Runner. But the man is still pretty beat down since he is a lonesome alcoholic. However he can still do his job. This is why Gaff, the other Blade Runner, places origami unicorns. The sight of which triggers a subconscious impulse in Deckard, an impulse which the Tyrell Corporation use to control him. Deckard hates his job, he hates coming out of retirement but he forces himself to keep going. The origami unicorn triggers, on a subconscious level, a possible vague feeling of hope, peace and tranquillity for Deckard. It is vague but just enough to see him through one dreary day after another. Deckard is human because he was not able to fight on par with the replicants. Deckard DREAMED of the unicorn, he never remembered it and the proof is simple- the man fell asleep, cue the unicorn sequence and the scene cuts to him starting as he had woken up from a quick doze. There is a big difference between a dream and a memory, and as far as I know the Tyrell Corporation do not appear to have the ability to dictate the dreams of a replicant. Whether Deckard is aware that the memories are implanted or not is unclear. A possible clue is in the final scene when he scrunches that origami unicorn in his hand with a look of understanding. Has he accepted that he no longer needs the implanted memories as emotional support when he has Rachel and the memory of Roy Batty's death- a death which profoundly moved Deckard and actually made him value his life? And think about it, if implanted memories could cushion the emotional responses of a replicant, wouldn't implanted memories have the same effect on a human?
+skatemetrix Why wouldTyrell waste resources on a human being though? That's not in their field of research nor is there any hint of such in the movie. Tyrell is only linked to their creations and nothing more. Your theory just doesn't mesh with the themes that are presented. To me, the question of whether Deckard is or isn't a replicant is up to the individual to decide based on what's presented. It is not to be taken sideways, imo.
+Ser Garlik I think it does mesh with the themes of Blade Runner and the biggest one being identity. Aside from the obvious two threads of: can a replicant ever be considered fully human; and does a replicant who thinks he is human be truly human? With my theory there is another thread about identity- can a person who knows he has implanted memories still believe he is the same person? Additionally, for a person who has implanted memories but does not realise this, does the person still have the same core personality before the procedure as he does afterwards? To be fair the using of implanted memories in the VK test to match a replicant's profile is not really implied that much, the main emphasis seems to be on emotional responses. However, reading between the lines, this hast to happen because a test relying solely on emotional responses could never make a distinction between replicant and human. So often in Blade Runner there are hidden themes and plot devices which are there in the background. It's a simple plot with an awful lot packed into it. /// Whether Deckard is human or replicant, well at first glance both views could be correct. Evidence for Deckard being human: not as strong as other Replicants, his eyes never glint/glow in the dark and his emotional responses seem pretty human and developed. Evidence for Deckard being replicant: the unicorn sequence if it is interpreted as a memory, Deckard's collection of photos and finally Gaff planting origami unicorns implying Deckard has implanted memories. I don't like the idea that Deckard is a replicant, why would the company create a replicant who thinks he is human and who has none of the advantages of a replicant? I can understand Rachel's existence as just another experiment of the Tyrell Corporation. But Deckard's "creation" is a real stretch and also really tarnishes the character's personal development. But the case for Deckard being human is not 100% watertight either. Again the unicorn sequence and Gaff's unicorn origamis. With the implanted memory theory Deckard is still human, it explains Gaff's odd behaviour, it adds a new facet to the biological capabilities of the Tyrell Corporation AND it creates further mysteries/questions about the nature of human identity regarding implanted memories. And the best thing about it is that there is still a mystery remaining- does Deckard realise he has implanted memories? So instead of the mystery being; is Deckard replicant or human? It now becomes; is Deckard's personality forever altered if he is not aware of the memory implants, or is he the same person whether he is aware, or not, of the procedure? And again with both mysteries, does it really matter?
But, since the radioactive dust was only added in the second movie (plus the war) i guess we have to scratch that. Either way, I do believe he is human experiencing some sort of mental illness. In the book also, it delves deeper into what it is to be a Bounty hunter (Blade Runner) and what it does to your mind and stuff.
+Henric von Winklebottom Of course not. How could you be? Remember ? We violently tortured and killed all known Zognoids in The Great Zognoid Slaughter of early 2016. Good Riddance! I hated them , the way they always yelled their sentences nervously, and always wearing men's black tie formal wear and stupid looking top hats from the early 1900's....and the way they ate their food with their assholes.......god damn disgusting Zognoids. There is rumored to be one remaining Zognoid still, so they say, hiding somewhere on Earth.I heard they hope to actually capture it alive to do Vivisections on and for raping and stuff.
+tarwagon Was that before or after we ethnically cleasn... I mean euthanized all of the albino zognoids we had in captivity? I've always found that whole zognoid rebellion confusing. I know it ended with The Great Zognoid Slaughter, but I'm hazy on the other details. Was the ZLF the one's who attempted the assasination of the president of space or were they the ones who began the zognoid civil war, but then who started the subsequent zognoid revolution, zognoid reformation, and zognoid revolt.
omg, we need to just not educate and explain things any 8th grader should know by now. If you are teacher, stop teaching online and putting your self out of work. If you are NOT a teacher with a license and EMPLOYMENT, STOP TEACHING ONLINE!!!
Roy teaches us that "life", even for Replicants, is precious. Brilliant ending . . . "All these memories will be lost, like tears in the rain. . . " Love and peace to ALL of you my friends. Wm x x x
Love these videos- just watched blade runner for the first time and picked up on the themes of humanity, but really needed something concise like this this to fully appreciate the meaning of the movie. Great video
Now you see; THAT is Wisecrack at its finest, and how it should rightly be! Couldn't have wished a more excellent analysis of Blade Runner. ..still butthurt over the Dark Souls thing though ;(
Fun fact: Edward James Olmos, who plays detective Gaff in Bladerunner, also plays Commander Adama in Battlestar Galactica (the 2004 reboot). Both are stores about the lines of human and machine blurring, as the replicants in Bladerunner are a lot like the human Cylons in BSG.
+oohgoditsbees I have a fan edit that puts in several of the cut scenes and PARTIALLY restores the voiceover... but also leaves it out at places. ...and has the alt take for the sexual assault of racheal.
The photography of Blade Runner is amazing, the constant dark-bluish colors in contrast with several colorful lights spotted in the background give it an realistic feel but also makes it look like a dream, reinforcing the idea of dystopia. Most movie nowadays just use full HD cameras with pretty much no meaning in the filming, making them look almost the same.
I refuse to believe Decker is a Replicant. It will make his character arc, described here, worthless. I believe Gaff left that origami unicorn there, not because of a dream, but to tell Decker that he could've "retired" Rachael and he didn't. Even if it was about the dream, there is no other evidence that Decker is a Replicant.
+BigGator5 Oh, he's not a replicant. He's a _movie character._ ...but please, do go on about how his character arc is worthless if it's not real in this movie about flying cars, mechanical men, and an awe-inspiring dystopia.
+Daniel Gehring you seem to have trouble grasping the core principles of fiction and internal consistency. I'm sorry to see that. Though, addressing the original topic, if he's a replicant he's awfully weak. As in, way weaker than any other.
Android 19 It's actually kind of the opposite. I'm all for internal consistency in my movies, which is why I rebel against the internet's collective policy of trying to force a certain finality onto those movies which have ambiguous endings. We don't know if Deckard's a replicant _because the movie didn't want us to know for certain._ It's moot, destructive, and does a disservice to a great piece of cinema to try to force one's own perspective onto something that was specifically designed to _be_ ambiguous. It's like trying to explain a joke to your friend that didn't laugh.. not only won't it work, it'll just ruin it for the rest of the audience.
When you said, ' Roy isn't mad..just disappointed.' I laughed until some muscles in the back of my head cramped up. It's such a horrific scene as well. Now I feel a bit guilty.
+Eddie Scene It's based on the book called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? To be honest, I never actually fully got/loved Blade Runner until I read that book. The movie is a COMPLETELY different perspective. I'd recommend the book. I love the movie after having read it. The part that always felt it was missing in my from the movie in my mind was filled :D He did a BUNCH of things that have got adapted. Of his bigger adaptations he did: A Scanner Darkly The Minority Report Pay Cheque The Adjustment Bureau The books/short stories are great. I'd highly recommend Minority Report in terms of something to augment a movie.
+TheBlackSpiral today's artifact is Amadeus directed by human cat pug hybrid Milos and Otis and starring former president F Murray Abraham and professional Joker impersonator Tom Hlucifer (Mozart laugh). The story begins with an elderly composer named Salieri depressed that he missed dessert and going all throat emo. I could write this thing myself but I'll stop.
+Miguel Pereira well if Harrison ford shows up in the sequel it destroys the theory, plus in the source material deckard is confirmed not to be a replicant, that was just the machinations of the director

Always saw Decker as the bad guy, and after Roy saves him & watching Roys death, restores Deckers lost humanity.
He is more of a soulless guy, who is too much into his work. But it is like a necessity in his work, to be cold and not attaching any feelings to synthetics, to be more sufficient "terminator", but in this film of course he is changing, and changes his mind about them.
Also broke the mould that the hero vanquishes the villain instead the villain saves the hero.
You're reviews give me both hysterical laughter and deep insight into the films you discuss.
I like that.
+Micah Buzan - I agree. These videos are the best.
“never to be seen again for a few scenes” this is genius
very romantic sexual assault lol

i'm a replicant and i find the term Terminator very racist and offending
Get a grip man
+Erotic Potato Lighten up, Francis
+Erotic Potato chill out, dickwad
Who cares, you're a frakking toaster.
+Erotic Potato Yea, only replicants can call each other the T-word.
Nothing about the scene where the replicant is used as Christ symbol? The dove, the nail in the hand, looking for his creator/father and asking for more time, saving the men (Harrison Ford) from falling?
@@JacobShodin it's funny you sow the move 33 times and 33 is the year that Christ died not only that isaac was 33 when Abraham took him to sacrifice!
Dont think I've actually seen it that many times not sure why that number popped into my head 3 years ago. I have learned so much about 33 since then.
Alejandro Schroeder or when Zhora is shot, the marks in her body resemble to removed wings
big reach there, i also dont see how replicants as a Christ symbol does anything to enrich or compliment the story and its themes
There is an essay on christian meaning in blade runner. And its' the final level of lecture of that movie, the deepest and most fascinating. Even if I disagree with part of Dan Newland essay, some symbols are too obvious. In addition to his findings, we may wonder
- why is Rachel named Rachel, and not Margareth ?

Im starting to think that with each episode, Mr. Wormuloid is losing his grip on sanity as his marriage sinks deeper and deeper.
+Thazer, The Lore Master One thing is for certain, they ran out of original and creative ideas long time ago. This weak shit is just simply pandering to morons.
I'm down for some Wormuloid vlog, even though it doesn't have anything to do with cinema

Happy to know you have found sponsors to keep this channel running! Another great earthling cinema episode! Keep up the amazing work!!
Best movie channel on TH-cam. Period.
Love these videos- just watched blade runner for the first time and picked up on the themes of humanity, but really needed something concise like this this to fully appreciate the meaning of the movie. Great video
WTF they didn't censor the drinking 00:42. Report!
I have to do a study on this film and this video just came out, Thank you so much Wisecrack !
Great work with this one! You've done a man's job, sir!
The lines from the sponsor clip and the crumples of the wisecrack intro are the same MIND BLOWN.
Now you see; THAT is Wisecrack at its finest, and how it should rightly be!
Couldn't have wished a more excellent analysis of Blade Runner.
..still butthurt over the Dark Souls thing though ;(

How about the Hidden Meaning of Donnie Darko?
yes please!!!!
YES YES YES
Hidden Meaning in Hobo With A Shotgun.
Hidden Meaning in Transformers: Age of Extintion :) Not
The hidden meaning: Rutger Hauer is still a fantastic actor, even in a shlocky yet fun gorefest, but will never be appreciated as much as he deserves.
amazing color grading in Hobo With A Shotgun
when life gives you razor blades...
Haha, seeing him say 'no rules, no parents....spring break forever' and showing horns with his hand might be the greatest thing on youtube ever :D
I like the Philip K. Dick joke. Nice touch. I can see alien archeologists in the future making the same error.
This one was the best in a long time. It was both concise and funny. I'm smiling IRL.
Can't wait to see them crack the hidden message of The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure!
thank you so much. I've been asking for blade runner and you all delivered. much appreciated.
Wall-E?
Hi
+rowanaj That movie is all screwed up.
+rowanaj yes this would be phun
Lmfao wall-e
+rowanaj "Trash: bad" That's all there is, really.
I like the voice over, this is why the Japanese print Laserdisc is the ultimate version of this epic , all the uncut goodness and the voice over.
Sometimes the movies they review are so on the nose, that I find it hard to believe that this show is called "Hidden Meaning."
um never stop making these. Please and thank you.
But can we answer the question?! Do androids dream of electric sheep???
They dream of electric boogaloo.
Watched this movie for the first time while tripping. Absolutely amazing visuals.
"let's just hope there is no voiceover" - this non-human man get's it!
Look forward to these every week , thanks
"lets just hope there's no voice over" lmao yesssssss
+oohgoditsbees I have a fan edit that puts in several of the cut scenes and PARTIALLY restores the voiceover... but also leaves it out at places.
...and has the alt take for the sexual assault of racheal.
Fah! Everyone disses the voiceover. I love it. Even at its most awkward, it provides that old school film noir feel.
Could you do Primer/Upstream Color?
+シセル Upstream Color is so fucking good.
Yes, Primer please!
Primer killed my brain.
My favorite movie of all time!!!!
You've done Clockwork Orange, 2001, The Shining, but will you ever do Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove, or Eyes Wide Shut!?
Hidden meaning in the hidden meaning series - the more garrex studies human history through movies, the more human he becomes
Can you guys please do The Hidden Meaning in The Breakfast Club? That would be amazing!
Shit made me laugh
Never ever stop making these.
Hey Garyx, is everything alright? My wife and I noticed that you seem to be on a slow descent in to madness when it comes to your home life.
Quite possibly my fav movie of all time. Good analysis, this one will be my go-to to show my friends from now on.
Please do Shaun of the Dead, or else please please PLEASE do the Cornetto Trilogy as a whole. Thank you!
+Wilt that would be amazing.
Gratz on the big 1 million. Yall deserve it hard
Oh and it would be awsome if you did Jacobs Ladder, that movie is deep.
What version of blade runner did you guys use, and do you guys think is the best one?
I want to know too!
Er probably the Final Cut???
Congrats! There are more than 1 million earthlings subscribed to your channel!
Sooo are you going to do "her" once?
I just realized how that sounded
You guys are stepping up every time! every single video is better than the last! this was amazing
Do Taxi driver :D

Most movie nowadays just use full HD cameras with pretty much no meaning in the filming, making them look almost the same.
Please do Synechdoche New York!
Been waiting forever for this one!
I refuse to believe Decker is a Replicant. It will make his character arc, described here, worthless. I believe Gaff left that origami unicorn there, not because of a dream, but to tell Decker that he could've "retired" Rachael and he didn't. Even if it was about the dream, there is no other evidence that Decker is a Replicant.

Oh, he's not a replicant. He's a _movie character._ ...but please, do go on about how his character arc is worthless if it's not real in this movie about flying cars, mechanical men, and an awe-inspiring dystopia.

+Daniel Gehring you seem to have trouble grasping the core principles of fiction and internal consistency. I'm sorry to see that. Though, addressing the original topic, if he's a replicant he's awfully weak. As in, way weaker than any other.
Android 19 Right? Why design a weak replicant to go after stronger ones? The logic of this movie just completely falls apart if he is one.

It's actually kind of the opposite. I'm all for internal consistency in my movies, which is why I rebel against the internet's collective policy of trying to force a certain finality onto those movies which have ambiguous endings. We don't know if Deckard's a replicant _because the movie didn't want us to know for certain._ It's moot, destructive, and does a disservice to a great piece of cinema to try to force one's own perspective onto something that was specifically designed to _be_ ambiguous. It's like trying to explain a joke to your friend that didn't laugh.. not only won't it work, it'll just ruin it for the rest of the audience.
When you said, ' Roy isn't mad..just disappointed.' I laughed until some muscles in the back of my head cramped up. It's such a horrific scene as well. Now I feel a bit guilty.
453 days later and I'm still waiting for Donnie darko.
Perhaps the smartest series of film critiques on TH-cam.
Please review Equilibrium
First there was "Human Music" when I was stuck in a simulated reality, and now there's this "Earthling Cinema". What a great time to be alive!
0:26 Phillip K pe- WHAT
Lol Phillip K Dick
Lol
+Atrijit Das Richard = Dick = Penis. Captain obvious flies away!
92brunod thank you sir??
+Eddie Scene It's based on the book called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? To be honest, I never actually fully got/loved Blade Runner until I read that book. The movie is a COMPLETELY different perspective. I'd recommend the book. I love the movie after having read it. The part that always felt it was missing in my from the movie in my mind was filled :D
He did a BUNCH of things that have got adapted.
Of his bigger adaptations he did:
A Scanner Darkly
The Minority Report
Pay Cheque
The Adjustment Bureau
The books/short stories are great. I'd highly recommend Minority Report in terms of something to augment a movie.
I just finished reading the book this is based off this is awesome, great job as always Wisecrack!
PLEASE DO 12 ANGRY MEN
Great film but I don't know if it lends itself well to this style of show. But I bet Wisecrack is up for the challenge.
Second'd.
Hahah! That Spring Break throwback!
Please do six seasons of the sopranos.
+Byzantium 44 yeah

Chilled last word...... I love it!
Do Wayne's world
I will never get tired of looking at Garyx Wormuloid's luscious eyebrows.
+A man with one hand i do more than look at them.
Do Amadeus!
I absolve you!
+BenjaminSteber Too many notes!
+TheBlackSpiral today's artifact is Amadeus directed by human cat pug hybrid Milos and Otis and starring former president F Murray Abraham and professional Joker impersonator Tom Hlucifer (Mozart laugh). The story begins with an elderly composer named Salieri depressed that he missed dessert and going all throat emo.
I could write this thing myself but I'll stop.
BenjaminSteber Haha, you did pretty well though ;)
I love that movie still.
man, wasn't a huge fan of blade runner but this made me think about it a lot
I enjoy 100% of this concept you guys are going with right now
do Brazil by terry gilliam
im a fan of the flick...but your review is simply, superbly....entertaining
Synecdoche New York?
I never watched Blade Runner, but this content is too good to miss.
+Dagoberto Coria Dude! You are so missing out! One thing,watch it on the biggest screen you can get.
ha nice, I'll give it a vidi
Okay can someone confirm that Deckard is a replicant?
p sure ridley scott confirmed it.
And Harrison Ford denied it XD
it's possible but still up in the air.
I don't think there can be better confirmation than the movies's director himself
+Miguel Pereira well if Harrison ford shows up in the sequel it destroys the theory, plus in the source material deckard is confirmed not to be a replicant, that was just the machinations of the director
yo this guy is so underrated..its awesome c:
Do Truman show!!
Really great, wanted to get a quick synopsis before watching the sequel.
