That's exactly what I was thinking this morning! Blade runner is one of the most beautifully shot movies I've ever seen, it's cinematography is beautiful. The colors and the way the shots are angled and placed is beautiful, as well as the way the movie is lit. I need a home cinema to really get blasted by this movie.
I love the details. They kept a bronze medal near the camera for the actress to look into so it reflected from her eyes. They also had light reflecting from a bucket of moving water to give that moving light effect. They kept up that annoying sound coming from the machine they use to create tension as well as those eerie chimes after they are done. Tyrrel's enormous multifaceted glasses both give him an air of power and eeriness. Like they are not just made to see, but made to dissect. It is all of the little things in addition to a great script and great acting that make this scene so great.
The director, Ridley Scott, went to art school and wanted to be a painter originally. He is the one who created all these scenes. That is why they are beautiful.
He became this grumpy squidward like guy nowadays, I wouldn't blamr him because I too would get sick if my movie character is the one people look for and not me.
Sean Young really was the perfect choice for the role. She has that sultry, hard femme fatale exterior but also a core of softness and vulnerability that really works for the character.
@zero one Sometimes is the key word. But anyway, it can't be very justified in contemporary stories. Unless there's a solid rooted justification inside the story. It would give for a fancy moment, that's for sure
I'm talking about the reason inside a film. I don't care about real life. In movies, nowadays it's almost a rarity that a character smokes. I think even in 2049 there was no character smoking. But it obviously is not taboo either. Nothing taboo about it whatever way you look at it in real life.
I assume her programming has an input-filter system that flags such statements and makes her ignore them outright, not even giving her the ability to consider it a possibility. She may have heard him say it, but she didn't register what he said. Kinda like in Westworld where the androids are blind to things that don't belong such as photographs of the outside world. They look at it and simply say "It doesn't look like anything to me."
I think Rachel was already meant to be out of the room. A slight error in editing, make it looks the question happens soon after she gets up from the chair
when i first saw this movie, i was way way way too young to appreciate it. i thought it would be more of an action movie and i hated it but i watched it again many years later and I'm of the belief that it is without a doubt one of the best movies ever made
+Kirkland Bond I feel the opposite, its a good thing that Ridley was smart enough not to direct 2049 (the BR sequel) ... the sequel does not have the elegance and poetry of the original BR. And frankly saying I actually love Alien Covenant, the project he choses to direct over BR, in every decade there are movies that are unfairly put down by audiences and critics, Ridley's recent movies like The Counselor, Prometheus and Alien Covenant are all put down for all the wrong stupid reasons ..
Blade Runner status is THAT high that can be refered as the greatest work in cinematography history. Blade Runner is indescribably grandiose across the entire cinematic spectrum. A virtuous and unique masterpiece.
The look of this film is absolutely stunning! Everything from lighting, to production design, and camera/lens choices makes this superb aged yet futuristic noir look!
on the DVD commentary Ridley Scott says that Alien and Blade Runner are the same and set in the same time as as eatchother in Alien you see what it's like in space and Blade Runner you see what it's like on Earth
+Luke Beck Imagine if they made a movie where Roy Batty and his crew go fight the Xenomorphs near Tannhauser Gate. Would be tough to find a young Rutger Hauer.
She's a replicant, isn't she? _I'm impressed. How many questions does it usually take to spot one?_ I don't get it, Tyrell. _How many questions?_ Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced. _Took more than a hundred for Rachael, didn't it?_ She doesn't know. _She's beginning to suspect, I think._ Suspect? How can it not know what it is? _Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell; "more human than human" is our motto. Rachael is an experiment, nothing more. We began to recognize in them -- strange obsessions. After all, they are emotionally inexperienced with only a few years in which to store the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them the past, we create a cushion or pillow for their emotions and consequently, we can control them better._ Memories. You're talking about memories.
he went from her to "it" as soon as the illusion was over, that's real power to manipulate the mind so much that a machine can feel have emotions and at the same time become a working slave to the idea they are human. That's real magic
@@ruban8135 One of the greatest short conversations in any sci-fi film. This movie is a certified classic. I still don't have the guts to plop down money on Ebay for the ultimate collector's edition, which comes in a nice briefcase.
I think Blade Runner films are infamously underrated because it's too complicated and slow for a cyberpunk film. Usually when you think about cyberpunk films, you will imagine actions and explosions everywhere. Nonetheless, these films are one of extraordinary. Best dialogues and cinematography for its time. Most influential and revolutionary.
Blade Runner hasn't been "underrated" by any stretch of the imagination for decades - once you're widely considered one of the best films of all time you're pretty damn highly rated.
IICR in the book, the question about the nude photograph had a secret subtext: the woman was lying on a bear rug. The question tested the instinctive emotional response to that detail (in the book, live animals are extremely rare and valuable and the notion of killing one is disturbing)
I like all the endings to Blade Runner, both theatrical, director, and final cut. The first one shows us why Rachel is so special, while the others make us question our humanity. The endings where both their fates are left unanswered, helps us understand our own mortality. We're all going to die at some point. Question is: Are we going to let that notion rule whatever life we have left.
Interesting, during the test Rachel sitting with her back against the window, but her eyes glowing like cat's have in the dark! Give away for replican?
+miscaltc I didn't read the that Electric sheep book, what ever title, but I heard the movie's modified a lot from the book version! Scott added and changed many things in the movie.Book is book, movies are different experience , much more visual, so it has to be packaged differently than books.I think, Decker had to be a Raplicant, so he can hunt the big boys, the Raplicant whom are stronger and smarter than humans, all though not wiser.
Rachel was a more sophisticated Raplicant and a beautiful one too , it took over 100 questions to spot her by the test. She had memories and more human emotions. Of course, Decker fall in love with her, at the end of the movie they ran away into the sun set. So, there may be a connection for Decker also being a Raplicant for being so protective of Rachel. If you noticed, Raplicants kept together and worked as a team. They even head emotions toward each other, but killed humans if they were no use for them!
+miscaltc Also, found this:>>If you see the director's final cut you will see the scene in which he dreams of a white unicorn (apparently a recurrent dream,) and afterwards Gaff leaves in front of Decker's door a unicorn-origami. Meaning: his memories (and dreams, etc.) have all being implanted. Meaning, him, too is a replicant. Moreover, the ending, too is different - still hinting to decker not being human. Both the unicorn scene and the original ending were cut out as American audiences would not have liked the idea of Ford being a replicant.
Can you image having (to own) one - A Rachel? To be able to go to a store or order online - Model 4H33YG628. Creepy by today's standard, but I think I could do it. The quandry that kettle of fish will be WHEN (not if) that Pandora's box gets opened. All the ethical questions involved. There's only about a hand full of woman ever filmed as beautiful as she was in this film . . . . and she's in that group.
There's a theory that if Deckard is indeed a replicant, he might have been given Gaff's memories. Gaff is an accomplished bladerunner, but is disabled: literally no longer able to run. This might also explain Gaff's animosity, and how Gaff seemingly knows the Deckard has daydreams about unicorns. In which case, in this scene Tyrell is basically watching two of his creations sparring, not unlike watching two computers play chess.
When she enters, she comes in and out of the light and shadow immediately bluring the lines between seen and unseen or what is and isnt, talks to one bird of prey (replicant hunter) about another (owl), and then she smokes through her interview, obscurring her face and with it, her identity...and then after over 100 questions the professional asks if his statement is correct that she is a replicant...as if...not sure that she is, and wants confirmation. Almost in disbelief. Like he...doesn't want her to be...and later, it doesn't matter WHAT she is, but WHO she is. Damn good use of less than 5 minutes of film.
I never get over this scene because of the beautiful ambient background sounds, the conversation in slight reverb, the lighting towards Rachel, even the view at 1:12. Whoever inspired the director to make a scene so futuristic for 1982 deserves a raise.
"You are getting betrothed to a sadistic teenager king who has a really nice boy brother. What would you do?" "Poison the teenager king and marry the boy." "Results, no empathy whatsoever, but definitely of Tyrrell blood."
When it comes to visuals, this movie is THE BEST out of a lot of the movies that came out of the 80s....specially for mainsteam movies. This movie is artistic both in story and visuals.
Watched it a couple of evenings ago for the first time. The best movie experience I've had in a while. An absolute classic of the cyberpunk aesthetics. Well, except that some fight scenes left mixed feelings in me, like Deckard's fight with the girl in Sebastian's apartment. I can only assume that fighting was never one of her programs.
You should’ve seen it when I did, in the movie theater. I saw it when it first released in 1982 and then later the Director’s cut, both in the theater. Pure magic.
The fight scenes have this weird children's poetry dialogue and lack of any interesting fighting choreography. Specifically the gymnast girl fight was especially awkward. But the part where the she has a seizure as she dies was horrifying though. All the rest of the film is great though.
@@davy_K It was. Just still seems weird that replicants who could even develop their own emotional responses over time couldn't master something as simple as killing a human. Especially since they did kill the crew of the ship they came to the Earth on. Same goes for the other ones, Roy, Leon, the dancer girl, the way they fought was more or less inefficient.
I saw this as A 16 year Old kid in 1982 at The Theatre. Couldn't believe it. Rutger Hauer's character made me pucker up. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I am pretty sure in this century that we will eventually vat grow humans from cobbled together dna, aka replicants. Might be easier to grow a thing than to make an android like David.
Today (November the 1st 2019) the movie 'Blade Runner' was caught up by reality. From now on, the film is no longer set in the future, but in the past. Strange, if you think about it... By the way - the BEST SCI-Fi Movie EVER Made! Too bad Rutger Hauer doesn't experience this day anymore...
From an interview with the cinematographer: "To achieve this effect, we'd use a two-way mirror - 50 percent transmission, 50 percent reflection - placed in front of the lens at a 45-degree angle. Then we'd project a light into the mirror so that it would be reflected into the eyes of the subject along the optical axis of the lens. We'd also sometimes use very subtle gels to add color to the eyes."
Having watched the sequel I now get a better understanding of why Tyrell insisted that Deckard and Rachael interact and why he smiled when he saw the chemistry between them
It was shown in the books and movie that decker was a replicant too. This was not a test for racheal, but a test for decker , of how effective he would be to find the replicants.
just shows what a work of art human beings are, imagine having to actually go about recreating human kind from scratch? such that you could just a test like that and it would answer "correctly"
Dick pole His name is Dr. Eldon Tyrell. I'm pretty sure the Dr. stands for doctor, crackpot. P.s Maybe that'll teach you to think twice, before bringing your armchair insights to TH-cam. Then again, to teach you anything, probably takes a miracle.
People call this movie and 2049 boring and to that I say you guys have no attention span for movies. You’ve probably scrolled through so many social media shorts, that you can’t watch a movie that doesn’t have action for 5 minutes.
what's funny is i was one of those people at first on my first watch. i was expecting something different but i've adapted my mind to look deeper into things and this went from a "boring, weird movie" to probably my favorite movie of all time
It's interesting to note that Blade Runner is at 97 in the list. Deckard's apartment is at the 97th floor and the Blade Runner game was released in 1997.
i grew up watching Harrison Ford in movies and even as a kid, i did not think he was a great actor but there is no doubt that his charisma as a man s man and even more so, as a woman s man , absolutely unparalleled... i have watched so much canned passion on film between actors that sometimes i just fast forward over scenes and Harrison always reads passionate and true. His chemistry not only with Sean Young here, Carrie Fisher in Star Wars, and probably unknown to younger audiences, but legendary at that time, with Kelly McGillis in Witness....
Omg whenever I watch this movie it gives me chills, it such an extraordinary film! With beautiful cinematography , brilliant acting from everybody especially Rutger Hauer and an amazing storyline with beautiful directing as well from the master himself Ridley Scott, can't wait to see what happens in the sequel!
Yep. The story is better if Deckard *isn't* a replicant. I don't know why people are so obsessed with saying that he's one. It would serve absolutely no purpose to the plot.
Deckard isn’t a replicant. It shows that he acts more like one than an actually replicant. However, as the film progresses, he begins to show more of his humanity that had been lost to him.
@@TovenDo.O.Video- on the contrary, it makes less sense to have a mere human risk their life to hunt down replicants that were superior in terms of physical strength, agility and intellect.. when you could instead have a replicant do the job with a higher chance of success , and no waste of human life should they fail and considering how strong Leon is, the two slaps he gave Deckard would easily have broken the jaw of a regular human
Note that the inventor of replicants refers to Deckard as human. "Experiences that you and I take for granted." Rachel, as a replicant with memory implants, is a recent experiment, which means that Deckard cannot be one of these experimental replicants. Case solved.
+R C Nelson This is simply because a key scene was cut out. I don't believe the original footage survived either. Batty figures out Tyrell is a replicant too. That's why when he kills him Hauer ad-libbed "fucker" - because his character was angry at the deception. Then, after Roy Batty kills Tyrell, the replicants arrive at the top of the tower to find the real Tyrell dead in a glass coffin. This is why the fake Tyrell says here "you and I" - he thinks they are both human, but he's wrong - they're both replicants.
What purpose? Suppose Deckard were only four years old. Wouldn't the other Blade Runners, friends, associates, cops and so forth know very well he "came out of nowhere"?
For me, the subtext (which in Blade Runner is immense in many different ways) is that Tyrell knew this would come to pass (testing Replicants, Roy Batty showing up, etc).
Just look at that Cinematography.....
Easily one of the most beautiful films ever shot

Cried so hard during all the Rachel moments in the new one. Ford did a great job of conveying how much Deckard loved her.

Yeah that's frigging hilarious.
Yeah, thats one hell of a line.
Her stern facial expression seals the deal.
I love the details. They kept a bronze medal near the camera for the actress to look into so it reflected from her eyes. They also had light reflecting from a bucket of moving water to give that moving light effect. They kept up that annoying sound coming from the machine they use to create tension as well as those eerie chimes after they are done. Tyrrel's enormous multifaceted glasses both give him an air of power and eeriness. Like they are not just made to see, but made to dissect. It is all of the little things in addition to a great script and great acting that make this scene so great.
The director, Ridley Scott, went to art school and wanted to be a painter originally. He is the one who created all these scenes. That is why they are beautiful.
Some movies are unforgettable and this one of my fav. And thanks for the info on her eyes. I always wondered ...

Ironically, Many cyberpunk that came after this and took from it, hasn't been able to replicate it that well.
That's why the last scene is so powerful, when Roy Batty shows empathy (or some emerging emotion that resembles it) to Deckard by saving his life.
Every time I see Westworld, I need to see Blade Runner and every time I see Blade Runner I need to see Westworld.

You should’ve seen it when I did, in the movie theater. I saw it when it first released in 1982 and then later the Director’s cut, both in the theater. Pure magic.
The fight scenes have this weird children's poetry dialogue and lack of any interesting fighting choreography. Specifically the gymnast girl fight was especially awkward. But the part where the she has a seizure as she dies was horrifying though. All the rest of the film is great though.
The girl replicant was a pleasure model. It's stated earlier in the film.
@@davy_K It was. Just still seems weird that replicants who could even develop their own emotional responses over time couldn't master something as simple as killing a human. Especially since they did kill the crew of the ship they came to the Earth on. Same goes for the other ones, Roy, Leon, the dancer girl, the way they fought was more or less inefficient.
I saw this as A 16 year Old kid in 1982 at The Theatre. Couldn't believe it. Rutger Hauer's character made me pucker up. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
The photography of this movie is beautiful, the way Rachael smokes is very artistic, its to me very iconic as well as mia wallace in pulp fiction :)
It's amazing how movie makers, artists, and others depict the future with technology we'll probably never get to.
I am pretty sure in this century that we will eventually vat grow humans from cobbled together dna, aka replicants. Might be easier to grow a thing than to make an android like David.
I like the subtle transition shaded by the smoke at 00:18, unnoticed stuff that you notice when you are a video editor :)
You would assume this was a 2000s movie based on how it was shot. Rachael is so beautiful too
We are all replicants searching for what it is to be human.
The light shining in the eyes though....
I can't read what you wrote because the light is shining in my eyes. Though, Ray, Me, Doe
Today (November the 1st 2019) the movie 'Blade Runner' was caught up by reality. From now on, the film is no longer set in the future, but in the past. Strange, if you think about it... By the way - the BEST SCI-Fi Movie EVER Made! Too bad Rutger Hauer doesn't experience this day anymore...
Arguably, the best SIFI of all time.
“How can it not know what it is?”
Damn...
This is a textbook implementation of Turing's test ... classic, nothing else!
From an interview with the cinematographer: "To achieve this effect, we'd use a two-way mirror - 50 percent transmission, 50 percent reflection - placed in front of the lens at a 45-degree angle. Then we'd project a light into the mirror so that it would be reflected into the eyes of the subject along the optical axis of the lens. We'd also sometimes use very subtle gels to add color to the eyes."
Even with dragging away on that cancer stick Sean Young is sublime here.
Having watched the sequel I now get a better understanding of why Tyrell insisted that Deckard and Rachael interact and why he smiled when he saw the chemistry between them
Memories offer the false perception that there is a past.
It was shown in the books and movie that decker was a replicant too. This was not a test for racheal, but a test for decker , of how effective he would be to find the replicants.
I have never thought that. I watch the film knowing he is human.
He’s not a replicant in the book
just shows what a work of art human beings are, imagine having to actually go about recreating human kind from scratch? such that you could just a test like that and it would answer "correctly"
Blade Runner and Cowboy Bebop could cross exist so well... oh wait, they already do.
The earth was practically destroyed in Cowboy Bebop. In Blade Runner, we could assume that everything you see happens before Cowboy Bebop.
Samual Iam The gate collapse happened about 2056 in Cowboy Bebop and this is 2019
BLADE RUNNER........................YOU CANNOT BEAT THIS MOVIE !!!
Those are some huge glasses the doctor has. lol
Dick pole His name is Dr. Eldon Tyrell. I'm pretty sure the Dr. stands for doctor, crackpot. P.s Maybe that'll teach you to think twice, before bringing your armchair insights to TH-cam. Then again, to teach you anything, probably takes a miracle.
Those are some huge glasses the doctor has. WTF
Best Ridley Scott Movie ever.
People call this movie and 2049 boring and to that I say you guys have no attention span for movies. You’ve probably scrolled through so many social media shorts, that you can’t watch a movie that doesn’t have action for 5 minutes.
what's funny is i was one of those people at first on my first watch. i was expecting something different but i've adapted my mind to look deeper into things and this went from a "boring, weird movie" to probably my favorite movie of all time
@@hwabag7 yeah same this one and 2049 are my favorite movies
You're right, Americans have become simpletons, sad
Arguably, one of Sean Young’s BEST rolls!!👍🙂
This movie is the definition of flawless
The questions were so unusual!
I wanted to see Leon being questioned by the first Blade Runner!
ALL of the Cast was very effective in their roles!
She's so beautiful ❤
If the goal was to make something more human then human, then the replicant would be more and more flawed then. But, Rachel is perfect.
Every scene in the movie is lit so well.
Classic science fiction film
Replicant or not; I would.
It's interesting to note that Blade Runner is at 97 in the list. Deckard's apartment is at the 97th floor and the Blade Runner game was released in 1997.
No we can also imagine things that never happened.
Ridley scott a masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
Good Lord, he's the bartender in the Shinning. Why have I not noticed this before?
The lighting in this scene is really impressive !
i grew up watching Harrison Ford in movies
and even as a kid, i did not think he was a great actor
but there is no doubt that his charisma as a man s man and even more so,
as a woman s man , absolutely unparalleled...
i have watched so much canned passion on film between actors
that sometimes i just fast forward over scenes
and Harrison always reads passionate and true.
His chemistry not only with Sean Young here, Carrie Fisher in Star Wars,
and probably unknown to younger audiences,
but legendary at that time,
with Kelly McGillis in Witness....
greatest movie of all time !
Time is a period between now and immediately.
+....dial Lol
+....dial I laughed harder than I should have
The lord of the Rings
Deckard got the hell beat out of him by four extra-strength replicants yet didn't die. He also had peculiar eye-shine in one scene.
Tyrell is my favorite character in the movie!!!
That we still discuss this movie and look for all the different meanings shows what power it had and still does today. Incredible work.
One of the most beautifully shot movies!!!
More human than human- Rob Zombie.
Holy shit, yes. Thank you so much, I needed this exact scene for my final college english paper.
1982: we have flying cars in 2019
Also 2019:
Omg whenever I watch this movie it gives me chills, it such an extraordinary film! With beautiful cinematography , brilliant acting from everybody especially Rutger Hauer and an amazing storyline with beautiful directing as well from the master himself Ridley Scott, can't wait to see what happens in the sequel!
this movie is a MASTERCLASS in lighting
She's a replicant and Deckard isn't.
Let's put it to bed.
Yep. The story is better if Deckard *isn't* a replicant. I don't know why people are so obsessed with saying that he's one. It would serve absolutely no purpose to the plot.
In the book, Deckard gets tested and passes.
@@TovenDo.O.Video- Agreed
Deckard isn’t a replicant. It shows that he acts more like one than an actually replicant. However, as the film progresses, he begins to show more of his humanity that had been lost to him.
@@TovenDo.O.Video- on the contrary, it makes less sense to have a mere human risk their life to hunt down replicants that were superior in terms of physical strength, agility and intellect.. when you could instead have a replicant do the job with a higher chance of success , and no waste of human life should they fail
and considering how strong Leon is, the two slaps he gave Deckard would easily have broken the jaw of a regular human
If you’re still a Star Wars fan after watching this one, there’s something wrong with you.
Love her eyes ❤
Blade Runner’s so visually rich it seems to become more beautiful over time.
Note that the inventor of replicants refers to Deckard as human. "Experiences that you and I take for granted." Rachel, as a replicant with memory implants, is a recent experiment, which means that Deckard cannot be one of these experimental replicants.
Case solved.
R C Nelson I know! It really takes away from the philosophy of the movie if he is a replicant.
+Felipe Laser No, it would in fact add to it.
+R C Nelson What if he just pretended on purpose?
+R C Nelson This is simply because a key scene was cut out. I don't believe the original footage survived either. Batty figures out Tyrell is a replicant too. That's why when he kills him Hauer ad-libbed "fucker" - because his character was angry at the deception. Then, after Roy Batty kills Tyrell, the replicants arrive at the top of the tower to find the real Tyrell dead in a glass coffin. This is why the fake Tyrell says here "you and I" - he thinks they are both human, but he's wrong - they're both replicants.
What purpose? Suppose Deckard were only four years old. Wouldn't the other Blade Runners, friends, associates, cops and so forth know very well he "came out of nowhere"?
We used to watch this movie about replicants, and now they are all around us. I'm waiting for the day when it will be made public.🤨
Boiled dog? Yuk. Grill it ffs
lol this made me giggle.
miyahtallulah I'd like to boil all of the filth in not oil.
She's so perfect.
The Blu-Ray is amazing!
Needs a Criterion release.
You are so colourist, there is nothing wrong with all the other colours.
Imagine if you will, an announcer you can barely understand. It's remotely possible he said something about.. The Scary Door
1:15 Oh god I hope she didn't hear that.
For me, the subtext (which in Blade Runner is immense in many different ways) is that Tyrell knew this would come to pass (testing Replicants, Roy Batty showing up, etc).
Sean es tan perfecta como Kim Novak en Vertigo.
My goodness this movie is gorgeous.
