I saw this when it came out, in theaters. Amazing movie, even more dramatic back then. He did make that statement in the theatrical release. Apparently, Ridley didn't like that or the narration and corrected those in subsequent reissues. There was no internet, and no DVD's even back then so all this extra material trickling out over the decades has been interesting to see.
On the one hand, I'm glad this didn't make the theatrical cuts. To the audience at large, seeing Roy Batty so broken, vulnerable, and scared would have seemed so totally out of character from what we expect of him, given his tremendous physical and mental abilities. On the other, it makes perfect sense, and it explains Roy even more deeply. Tyrell is his "father". What kind of father is he, who expects his creation to metaphorically fly around the world, when he is the same man who has clipped his wings(short lifespan) in a bid to keep him obedient? Only the most narcissistic of parents would show the lack of remorse Tyrell seems to show towards him and his fellow Replicants. I understand this in a way many, albeit a minority, can. Another way it makes sense is the unmistakeable reference to Oedipal rage/remorse--Roy Batty killing his creator/father, and the eye gouging. In the legend, Oedipus kills his father--but the divergence of the movie occurs since Oedipus, in unrequited remorse, gouges out his own eyes before casting himself into the sea.
Am I reading it correctly that a minority person could emphasize with a replicant, whereas a majority population person (read: white) can't? Just curious here.
@@chinchilla415 No. That's not at all what I was saying, my bad if it came off that way. What I meant is simply a minority of all people as a whole who have seen and are fans of this movie. You see, Blade Runner is what's called a cult classic. It's not mainstream popular like, say, Star Wars--after all, who hasn't seen Star Wars at least once? But those(a MUCH smaller percentage) who have seen Blade Runner and like it, tend to be huge fans of it. Hence, the term cult classic. So since only a minority of people are fans of and understand BR, only a minority could empathize with Roy and his fellow Replicants. No hard feelings about the misunderstanding, hope I did a better job explaining myself this time..... : )
In this sequence, Roy and Eldon are each other's opposite. Roy wants more life from his creator. Eldon gives less life to his creatures. Tyrell is wearing a white dressing gown. Batty is wearing a long black jacket. Eldon has vision problems and is wearing glasses. Roy has perfect eyesight. Tyrell has black hair. Batty has white hair. Roy is a killer, but he has no blame for who he is. Eldon is a victim, but he's not blameless.
On a dvd, I used to burn loads back in the day. Sadly the episodes I have up are the only ones I've found, feel free to download them and save them yourself. I have no idea what happened to Vismund42 but god do I miss him, he was one of my favourite Z tier youtubers.
If you guys actually look at this supposed 'art'. You can tell it was just ripped off Pokemon's official art with minor edits. The person didn't even have grounds to stand on.
I wish twitch plays pokemon was as popular as it used to be, more people know about the lore than actually care about what currently happens on the channel anymore
2:32 wow I was actually watching the Mighty Ducks review from Hack the Movies before this video and now I see Farfetched with that Hockey mask! How ironic
