Blade Runner The Final Cut
This is my second time watching this film (though the first
first time I saw the Director's Cut). I really have to say, a rewatch was very, very beneficial with this film. I did like it a lot the first time I watched it, but a lot of it went over my head and when the film finished, I was a bit confused. I wasn't lost by any means, but there were a few things that I was unsure and conflicted about. This time, however, I can safely say that I loved the movie. First and foremost, the atmosphere of the film is absolutely perfect. The brilliant music and the beautiful (and extremely realistic) visual effects combine to create a feeling like no other. I was awestruck each and every time I got a look at the city in which the film takes place. On to the characters now, I really liked Deckard, despite him not exactly being the most fleshed out character in the history of film. He did what he needed to, though, and I feel like any more backstory would have just bogged him down. Then again, I never did see the version of the film with the narration, so what do I know? The character that really stole the show, however, was Roy. That final chase was absolutely stunning, and I loved every minute of it. And, as if that wasn't good enough, then came Roy's final speech...wow. I'm actually kind of in the mood to see it again now, just to see if my appreciation raises even more. I loved the whole look and feel of the film, and I can't wait to experience that again.
I can't wait to check out the commentaries and, even more, I'm really excited to watch the documentary
Dangerous Days: The Making of Blade Runner.
