Just finished watching this for the first time ever at 27 years old.
Why the fuck is this steaming pile of garbage considered a good movie?
Besides the cinematography and the admittedly brilliant atmosphere, it's absolute garbage in all possible ways.

It was a historically significant film because it sorta started the whole "postmodernist-cinema" thing but yeah, It didn't age very well and I've always felt it was overrated.

As overrated as Scarface. Both shit movies.

You mean in film, right? Because it is not the first cyberpunk thing ever.

>>83212545
When film historians try to define postmodernism in cinema they usually say that Blade Runner is one of an early examples of that style/way of storytelling in film. Other notable early examples are: Blowup (1966), The Mirror (1975) and The Draughtman's contract (1984).

You realize that just that one statistic throws this entire thing into question entirely.

It was a website that analyzed posts on other websites and decided if the posts were made by female or male and the age, etc. It wasn't a poll or anything, I don't remember the website though that was so long ago.

Obviously it's inaccurate, it was just funny to me.

It's a comfy hard boiled detective story wrapped up in stunning cyberpunk. The fuck do you nitpickers want?

It's a genre for cheap pulp generic detective stories.

>>
>>83212120
Watch it again.
>>
>>83213468
It's neither hard boiled nor a detective story. Deckard isn't a detective and he doesn't solve anything. He doesn't even do his job. In the end the robots just expire from old age while delivering all the answers in exposition because Deckard was too stupid to figure anything out.
>>
>>83212925
I guess i wasn't specific enough. Postmodernism already exsisted before, that's true. See my previous examples. But Blade Runner helped it to get popular in the mainstream. When I said "it sorta started the whole postmodernism in cinema" i should've rather said that it started a new brand in the 90's, influencing filmmakers such as the Coen bros. But it surely didn't start postmodern film, that's a fact. Still, fuck you for calling me retarted.
>>
>>83212120
I suggest killing yourself. People with such shit taste are oxygen thieves.
>>
>>83213241
>humans have emotions, machines don't

A major theme running through the film is that Roy behaves more emotionally and human than Deckard for the entire movie, especially the climax.

Also humans have EMPATHY, and machines and autists (You) do not. That's the point of the Voight-Kampff.

Probably the one where it remains ambiguous whether or not Deckard is a robot and they drive off into the sunset. I have no idea which one that is, Ridley Scott has gone completely senile.

Just because something was released in 1982 it can infuence something years later. This should be obvious. Hell, some directors today are still influenced by freakin' Hitchcock and he made his best films 50-60 years ago.

Then what the fuck was he doing when he analyzed that picture.

>>83214112
Somehow turning a 2D image into a partially interactive hologram that can somehow change the camera angles and move furniture around.
>>
>>83214176
But he discovered the snake scale. Is that not detective work?
>>
It's not garbage but it is vastly overrated. It looks amazing, it has an interesting premise, but the plot is boring. Sorry, Blade Runner fans, but the movie never does anything with its premise.
>>
>>83214217
And to add to that, he questioned the fish dude about the scale. Is that also not considered detective work?

Which is objectively the best version of blade runner?

If you think this movie was garbage you are a brainlet that didn't get it. Sorry for being blunt, but that's the way it is.

The atmosphere, the aesthetics, the characters, the plot, the soundtrack, the twist ending (Director's Cut), and the message are all 10/10 patrician taste.

Even the special effects have aged very well, it looks better than most modern CGI.

Cyberpunk is my fucking dream game. I'm not gonna get hyped, Ill just ignore it until its out.

But man, Cyberpunk is one of my favorite things ever. The blend of noir, sci-fi, 80s action, the colors, the technology, the cynicism of it all while being tongue in cheek at consumerism and industrialism. Its so many things wrapped in one and for Mind Pondsmith to be one of the biggest contributors to the 'genre' to be on board seems like its gonna be a safe bet to be good.

>>83213241
The point is what makes us human. What is it about the human condition that makes us think we are set apart, if we can build robots that behave exactly like us and in fact, behave with more humanity than humans in certain conditions. We then force those robots to do terrible things, after giving them them ability to think and process information just like humans.

So who is the machine and who is the man? Do humans have a "divine spark" that sets us apart or is it all just chemicals and tricks of the brain? It's left up to the viewer to decide.
