Blade Runner: The Director's Cut

I saw of the original release of this film way too many years ago. I finally saw the Director's Cut DVD tonight. I'm not sure if it's good or bad to say the impact this film made on me has been deep and lasting. It certainly was a dark film, but there were too many aspects that resonated too closely for reasons I'm not sure of even today. Of the curious, I'm not sure I realized it at the time that all of the language in the background was Japanese; some of which I understood *this* time around...hmm... ^_^

I think Priss' and Batty's death scenes were parts most remembered from almost 2 decades ago...and two lines from the film that I wonder, would they not apply to any place...any person?

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

"It's too bad she won't live. But then again who does?"

Everyone should have one or more books, movies, poems, and whatever that take a special place in one's psyche.

And I think that Blade Runner was a better movie than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was a book. Then again, I didn't really care for the book all that much (although I kept my paperback from 1969).

Hmmm

I definitely have to agree. Blade Runner was a seminal movie for me too, while D.A.D.E.S. was just another semi-interesting novelette in my early sci-fi fandom.

I still constantly say "Home Again, Home Again, jiggedy-jig" when I get in from a long road-trip. No one gets the reference. :)

Each of them focused on different elements. I enjoyed the book because it more clearly touch on some of the questions of Dekcard's humanity then the movie was able to. The movie, to me, seemed to focus more on what or how onw becomes human
