autuer film was such a fucking mistake

abolish directors. a 'single vision' for a film is not something to applaud if that vision is bad.

    The director's cut of Blade Runner is a much better film. The initial cut is unwatchable garbage and I truly mean that.

      Disagree. The director's cut is an improvement in many ways, but retconning Deckard into a possible replicant breaks the story's narrative since the whole point of the film is that the creation of man has more humanity than what humans have devolved into.

      Deckard is a human - a broken one. Making him a replicant when the other models have all these emotions and self-awareness cheapens the story.

        Which is why it's super funny that Harrison Ford and Dennis Villeneuve get that but Ridley Scott doesnt.

          He literally wrecked his film to shoehorn in a half baked idea. I still don't understand it.

        The original release has a distracting Harrison Ford narration explaining the events on screen as they're happening. Plus the original release has no unicorn.

          oh yeah, I only saw the original cut when I was quite a bit younger and staying up way past my bedtime, I think the narration helped keep me invested in it
