I watched this 10 years ago. I stayed to the end I'm not sure why. Just cause I liked the way it looked I guess and the soundtrack is pretty good and atmospheric. But the script is pretty terrible.
Am I right that Harrison Ford basically ends up having a romantic affair with a robot? Yeah? That's supposed to be cool?
Second post today from you dissing popular movies.
What's your point?
You didn't like it, others did. And you infer there is something wrong with people who liked it.
Why is that?
I hope President Biden makes it illegal to criticise anything as his first act.
If he can remember what room he's in of course.
That's not the point. I have no issue with someone saying they don't like a film, that's your opinion.
But when you say you " I don't know who would claim to love this" then it's clear that you want to deride people who like the movie.
People do that all the time. You just can't handle me doing it for a "popular" movie.
This movie should be mostly forgotten. I deride people (but not directly) in the hope that they will move on and go find something better, more interesting and fresher to get excited about. Also note there are people here who say they like the movie who admit it has problems. They weren't mortally offended by what I said.
You're the only one here with a stick up his ass.
You claim i can't handle it, yet you are clearly dictating how others should think, and continuing to ridicule and deride them.
It is clearly you who cannot handle the notion that others like a movie that you don't, and your hang up about it bothers you so much that you feel the need to start a thread.
Most people would just accept that a movie is not for them, post their reasons or thoughts about why and just move on.
Sure the movie is flawed...most fans of the movie would admit that including me.
But as much as people like you can post such drivel and taking to ridiculing people for not thinking like you, people like me are equally free to call you out on it.
Consider yourself called...
"Consider yourself called..."
Called what?
Jesus wept dude. Consider yourself an irksome gimp who can count the number of times he's had sex on no hands.
Wow.. a textbook trolling response.
Claims I am annoyed, uses the word triggered and a reference to sexual prowess.
What does a small doll with tall pink hair have to do with this?
Or a fantasy creature that lives under a bridge?
What do they have to do with any adult conversation?
(BTW, are you American or British? Are you up at 7am on a Saturday just to argue with me? Then you insist I'm the one who's "angry" or whatever. HAHAHA. Geek.)
This is not adult conversation.
Well...to you maybe it is, but not to grown ups.
And your definition of "grown-up" is "SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME ON EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIIIING DAMMIT!"
shareCapitals...now who is getting annoyed?
sharePretending that me mocking you was my own anger.
And when I said "triggered" I was saying that's the kind of thing a toolbag like you would say, I wasn't saying it myself.
True pathetic little gimps always pretend that someone mocking your own stupidity was actually their own stupidity.
"OH NOOO,URRR URRSEED CUURPS. MUUURM, SURMUURN URSSED URRL CURRPS URN THE INTERNUURRT. THUURS URRS THE GRUUURTUUURST MUURMURRNT URRF MUUUR LUURRF, URRRND I WILL KNURRR REPLURRRCE ALBURRRT URRRNSTURRRN, GURRRGE WHURRSHINGTUUURN AND ABRUHUURRM LINCUUURN IN TERRMS OF FAME. I WILL BE THE MOST LURRRGUNDDUUURY PURRSON WHO UUURVER LIRRRRRVED!"
Whatever you say, Forrest.
Yes, you do annoy me by being a total horrendous nasal voiced dork, not by being "right" about anything. To annoy non-virgins is the only thing you can ever hope to do.
The only thing you can complain about is that I broke some lame douchey "etiquette" rule. I broke "Stephen Colbert's rules of the internet" or something. you are flicking through your copy of that book while saying "heh" in the most nasal voice imaginable, and pushing your glasses up your nose 1000 times per nanosecond. Cheetos covered dork.
You didn't answer my question of what country you live in, cause you can't admit you're up at 5AM in your basement in Oregon or whatever trying to annoy me as punishment for being right about your favourite shitty movies. Thank you.
I'm gonna spend my saturday doing something else, make sure you don't accidentally knock over your pile of restraining orders you have from Trevor Noah, cause you might suffocate underneath it.
If you want to admit I'm right about everything please do so by continuing to not answer my question(s), or by suddenly stopping speaking, thanks.
Funny...most of the stuff you claim relates to me seems to sum you up perfectly. You have just wasted time on a huge rant yourself.
Not gonna waste any more time on you.
Why don't you just put this clown on your ignore list!?
That's what I'm gonna do just after reading this "conversation".
What an idiot.
I'm still waiting to find out what I'm called! I thought I had my real birth certificate right here but turns out you're gonna rock my world!
shareAlthough they are very rare, this OP is a troll. When you see someone that has less than 100 posts and they are ust this type then you can rest assured they are little kids that finally got access for a computer for the first time and trying to show all the other 3rd graders they can be big shots on the internet.
shareApparently you think 3rd graders know about a moody boring sci-fi film from 1982. Okay then.
shareI don't think replicants (or artificial animals in the movie) are like robots. They would be easy to spot if that was the case...
shareBlade Runner is a notoriously dull film which even manages to make Harrison Ford - one of the most charming movie stars ever - a fun sponge.
That said, the atmosphere is incredible, with a futuristic world and incredible synth score that utterly transports you to a new world. I like to have it on in the background with a spliff.
I would never say that Blade Runner tells any sort of amazing story. It's pretty simple and straightforward, yet ponders some interesting themes throughout. As it has been mentioned though, it's greatest strength is its visual story telling and atmosphere through its great cinematography and soundtrack, creating a very iconic living, breathing cyberpunk universe with many visuals that still hold up today. The film was ahead of its time in many respects.
shareThe visuals (the whole atmosphere, really; as you say, it's cinematography, soundtrack, design, etc.) and the languorous pace allow the viewer time to contemplate the themes, I think. The world soaks into you. You need time to appreciate its vision. While you're bathing in atmosphere, you start in on the themes of loneliness and humanity (or "humanity"), the ephemeral nature of life, and so forth. All of this is hammered in further by the industrial, gloomy, impersonal visuals, and a cityscape/world where the human element seems to be repressed in exchange for neon and grime.
sharePeople who really dig breathtaking worlds and atmospheric films, and/or people who love cerebral sci-fi that uses imagined tech to raise questions about very human problems: they would love this.
shareRachel is a replicant, yes, although a big part of the movie is questioning whether or not humanity is tied to flesh and blood, or if a sophisticated enough "fake" might also qualify (tears in the rain speech, and er...basically throughout the whole movie). Also, depending on the version, and depending on whether you believe Ford or Scott, Deckard might also be a "robot".
shareI wouldn't go so far as calling it bad, but I do have to admit I don't get all the hype.
As far as I'm concerned, it's a competent and enjoyable cyberpunk flick - but that's it, really. Some of its elements also really pull me right out of the whole thing; "You know what I bet will be all the architectural rage in some 30 years? Mesoamerican pyramids! People would just love to live in those, wouldn't they?" Bruh... no. Just no.
