Both versions are genius

I can't think of any other truly perfect film that was given a very different directors' cut years later and is still just as good.
I believe this is in fact the first director's cut of any movie to be released. The original Harrison Ford voice-over is missing, which really dulls some of the great film noir-of-the-future vibe that makes this so special. What is better, however, is that now we hear much more of Vangelis' fabulous score, gorgeous music which resonates so well with the sublime images that Scott crafted so splendidly.
I first saw this the weekend it opened; the theatre was hushed in awe throughout, and everyone applauded at the end. It has only improved with age. Neon-lit wet streets filled with shadowy underworld denizens of our crowded future, endless detail in every frame, imagination spilling from every scene; this film is made to be seen over and over. It's a magic spell that takes you to a unique place in your brain.
I think Philip K. Dick would approve heartily of this treatment of his story; Electric Sheep is a typically fine Dick work, but it is even more fully turned out here, and with so much feeling.
Above all, this film has heart, and makes you feel, not a typical science fiction accolade. Ford couldn't be better, and Rutger Hauer almost steals the show. It's one of those rare films that spills over with x-factor, and every supporting performance rings true.
I will NEVER grow tired of watching this every year, and am really looking forward to seeing the old version again when this is rereleased in the new, somewhat overkill 5-dvd version. It's cash-in time for Ridley! Still, he deserves it. You know a movie is classic when you can get away with that.
Blade Runner is filmmaking at its apex. |
