If I were to choose the lines that stand out as representatives for my second favourite movie, the one in the title would be one of these.
The movie is called Blade Runner and was first released in 1982. Since then, it suffered a lot of fixes and refixes, thus more versions of the movie are available. I've seen the following (and I guess that's roughly all of them) versions:
-Original Theatrical Version
-Original Theatrical Cut
-Director's Cut (1992)
-Final Cut (2007)
-Fan Edit (ADigitalMan) (2008)
-Original Workprint (I've recently gotten hold of this)
I remember watching the movie when I was younger, but lacking the necessary knowledge needed to properly interpret or even dare to comment upon this movie, I always considered it only an action movie. But I later found it is way more tahn that.
Blade Runner is a movie that gives very much importance to details. If a certain scene is cut in a certain version of the movie, it is simply because it tends to supress or stress certain ideas in that specific version. Thus we can conclude that each version, even though containing the same scenes up to a point, if enriched with the adding of a deleted scene tends to slightly alter or completely change the main idea about the main character(s) or Ridley Scott's (the director) vision of a cyberpunk future. What is amazing is that everytime I watch this movie, newer and newer questions start to arise within me and with a little pondering or some not-so-obvious references in the movie being present, I can find the answer to these.
I've recently checked the IMDB for Blade Runner and it ranked place #103 on the list of the top 250 movies. Good thing we have people around who are still able to escape everyday routine and think a bit about their existence, as this movie focuses more on existentialism. I'd personally give it a 10/10. Let's get serious: the movie was way ahead of its time in 1982, as I saw some guy post this on some board on the internet and is still way ahead of its time now.
Those who consider this piece of art seriously overrated should watch it about 2-3 times more, simply because watching the movie only one time may not really provide you with a decent overview of a picture-perfect Future Noir envisaged by Ridley Scott.
