[warbread]

What the hell is a blind ninja doing with Han Solo?

[deltamode8]

[riquiolux]

This movie is a timeless masterpiece, and this scene is perfect ! ♥

[tigemata]

Was Deckard a replicant?

[weezel2007]

@tigemata Yes, it was confirmed by the director a while back.

[Kennyrobbo2007]

@tigemata the director said yes, but in an interview with harrison ford he said he didnt believe his character was a replicant...

[IsSaidLikeThis]

@tigemata what?! how?

[tigemata]

@IsSaidLikeThis Ridley Scott said this.

[IsSaidLikeThis]

@tigemata but how did you figure?... i never got the hint he was a replicant

[tigemata]

@IsSaidLikeThis

I just saw the interview with Scott.

[IsSaidLikeThis]

@tigemata oh ok, thanx

[Sebach82]

This scene captures one aspect of the tragedy of mortal experience. In one sense, it expresses the loss aspect: that everything we experience will ultimately be lost in time. The biggest appeal of the scene, to me, is that it leaves the next step: appreciation for every fleeting experience, for the viewer to discover. The scene is a kind of quiet, moral cliffhanger that is generates a kind of deep calm and also a slight sense of mortal panic. Love it.

[Cobbleston]

MASTERPIECE!!!

[Jazzmaster71]

Time to cry.

[darkygg]

it's probably the best scene ever

[BigBoss1982]

@darkygg agree man, agree !!!

[louthleviathan]

"Hokey religions are no match for a good blaster...." ack wrong vid

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

youve done a mans job sir i guess your through huh?

[InsaneMetal]

This movie is an absolute masterpiece. I can't believe I'm 26 and I've just watched this movie recently. Like another user said: "Words fail me". This movie, and specially this scene, is superb. A true work of art that shows how creative and incredible our imagination can be. Cinema at its best.

[BigBoss1982]

@InsaneMetal I had exactly the same feeling :) but I've seen this movie just faster than you but about 2-3 years ago when I was 26 as you now :) amazing movie, the best sf I've ever seen, made in 82 ( the year of my born ) looks unsurpassed till today. Maybe the old SW trilogy is very close. AMAZING !!! I have directors cut version and Blu-ray final cut. I recommend both.

[Astrostevo]

Classic. ;-)

[reniisgod]

2 people missed the sea beams glitter near the Tannhauser gate

[louthleviathan]

@reniisgod C Beams ;)

[cliffcox66]

If Deckard was a replicant, and I know it was confirmed by R. Scott, why didn't he have the same strength as the others?

[vdizhoor]

Here's to all those whose moments are l0st in eternity. May they forever live in us!

[MJM247]

Wait...I just saw this on tv and it ended differently, and I know that there are different versions, but which one is the real one?

[dudeguy707]

@MJM247 In my opinion "The Final Cut" is probably the best version. It omits Ford's narration as well as a final scene at the end that a lot of people felt was added at the choice of the studio rather than Ridley Scott.

[TheTravelingbard]

one person did not believe

[joaocorreiamedia]

This is the best ending. No doubt about it.

[Konform2zoidberg]

What it is to be a human...... having realized the impotence of his god, he chose to do the only thing he could. To leave behind his favorite memories. To try and avoid what all humans fear, being simply forgotten after death.

[blablaidontcarewhour]

Moves me to tears.......... in rain

[RAYGXEN]

@blablaidontcarewhour but Roy Batty was right... he meant that Deckard was human, with a longer life than his... though real humans cannot have the power to accomplish what the replicants, with a short life can...

[happysplodie]

@RAYGXEN Ridley Scott actually says he's a replicant in an interview with the director.

[cptspoofy]

@happysplodie Yep. He's a replicant because he has the dream of the unicorn, and then the origami man leaves him a unicorn, something nobody should have known about unless they somehow had access to his thoughts.

[DexterinHD]

i hate people who say this film is overrated. its not, its brilliant.

[waddman136]

So who is more human in this film? The "humans" or the replicants?

[JoseCampilloCornejo]

best movie scene ever

[WallaceCrumpet]

I love the look on Deckard's face Gaffe throws him a gun, like, "dude...seriously..."

Great movie. Too bad there aren't as many films that can meet Blade Runner's standards.

[BubuSnow93]

2:27 he reminds me on of the character of starsky & hutch

[Emc209i]

Harrison's face at @2:37 has always intrigued me. So much emotion when given back the weapon he had no problem using before. Truly a masterpiece in cinematography.

[LeftOfTheDevil]

@Alaniz101 READ "Do Androids dream about electric sheep" and wouldn't say that. This twist is made by ridley scott not by Dick. If u want to read a good crazy book written by Dick read UBIK or Clans of the Alphane Moon.

the bladerunner vision is the vision of ridley scott.

[LeftOfTheDevil]

Deckard is also a Replicant. U see it when Gaff made the Origami-Unicorn in the end. Deckard dreamed about a unicorn and never told anybody...

its all completely diffrent to "Do Androids dream about electric sheep". Ridley Scott made a great movie with his own interpretation.

I would say Androids dream about unicorns... ;)

[marianopicco]

I always fall asleep with this movie. So thank you YouTube, this is the only way for me to see the ending

[engagedincalifornia]

Rutger's best performance

[taustapiru]

Such a cool scene. Perfect dialog.

[warprowler]

I remember watching this when it came out, we were totally blown away. Even Harrison Ford acknowledged it at the time as a possible "cult film".

The sound track was perfect, created by the legendary grandmaster Vangelis - still very popular today within the "New Age" music realm. Perfectly crafted, the music builds slowly in this scene with a final drum beat signifying the death of Roy Batty, who loved life so much that instead of killing his enemy, he saved him.

*

[marianopicco]

@warprowler Yeah except Harrison Ford didn't like this movie.

[LeftOfTheDevil]

@marianopicco yeah beacause it was a surprise that deckard is in fact the villian in this movie. And rutger hauer stole him the show.

thats no movie its freakin ART. If u want to be entertained watch terminator, but if u need to thing about the meaning of life watch blade runner.

[marianopicco]

@LeftOfTheDevil Wow you're quite the "Blade Runner" advocate here huh?

We get it, you like the damn thing. It doesn't mean everyone has to like it and certainly it doesn't mean it holds the meaning of life.

Art is subjective to the person watching it and I can decide this to me isn't art but a football match between ants and there's nothing you can comment that could change my mind. Freedom of thought, now, there's a deep concept I think you dont understand

[LeftOfTheDevil]

@marianopicco no u have the right to say it's boring. No probs with that, bro. But u forget that the whole movie is about the question: at which point do we have to respect another beeing as a livin creature an how real is it...!?

Maybe philosophie is a much better word to describe waht i meant. the only thing i hope for is that u watch the movie with more then u r own eyes.

But to be honest with i know that there are just two ways to deal with this movie. Hate it or love it. 

[NewOrleansComputerRe]

@marianopicco It could totally hold the meaning of life for that dude. Let him be.

[RAAAAIIIIN]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

[Jesyce86]

One of the best endings in cinematic history. I don't care what people say about Rutger Hauer... In this film he is a star.

[SyntheNeko]

@Alaniz101 actually, the point isn't if he is or isn't. The point is that it doesn't matter. It helps you to empathize with the replicants. This is made much clearer in the book. So, people who argue over the "right" interpritation are missing the point entirely. It's like saying something like a fanbelt is the real reason we love a certain car when the sum of the parts is greater than any single one.

[LeftOfTheDevil]

@SyntheNeko but just in the rewritten books with the name bladerunner. The original by Philip Kindred Dick is a different message about the reality. In "Do Androids dream about electric" there is no real reason for the androids to reenter the earth. i would sy ridley scott made a great upgrade in the story.

[jonaspv]

Poetic! Humane.

[VulcansForgeFilms]

Greatest line in movie history. "Like...tears...in rain. Time to die."

[SyntheNeko]

@VulcansForgeFilms and almost totally improvised

[pacotabaco2]

@SyntheNeko are u serious?

[SyntheNeko]

@pacotabaco2 yeah mang.

[jasonmtrevino]

"all those moments will be lost in time, like tears, in the rain" [super cool sci-fi movie]

[revcorey12]

"And yes Phillip K Dick isa genious"

Yes blade runner is the best but not many people know that, P.K.Dick was thinking his books are not good enough like Stanislaw Lem books.

[Kennyrobbo2007]

but harrison ford has stated that he didnt believe his character was a replicant tho. strange one.

[SyntheNeko]

@Kennyrobbo2007 the point isn't if he is or isn't, but rather to put you as the viewer into that MAYBE land of ambiguity. If he were or weren't for certain either way, you would see the movie from that perspective. "human hunting down machines" or "misled machine pursuing your own kind mindlessly", But in that middle land you question all motives and all actions during the film, even until the ending. You're not left with a hollywood "good ending" but an ending that makes you think and feel.

[Kennyrobbo2007]

@SyntheNeko i just meant that even to this day nobody really knows thats all. everyone still see's it as they want to see it. wish is what makes it a class film.

[vincentalvado]

Great music. Great movie. Great ending. I love it.

[TutorialClarity]

Ridley Scott knew exactly what he was doing. They should have listened to him the first time around...

[s0olid]

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

[AwesomeCoasters]

Really?

[s0olid]

Indeed.

[AwesomeCoasters]

ha okay I thought he said '' It's too bad I'm about to choke her to death... but then again should I, they pay me by the hour''

[tomvercetti]

@s0olid The fate of us all.. while we waste our lives hurting and killing each other.

[0RobinHood1]

@s0olid me

[DarkFilmDirector]

@s0olid Somehow, this small, short bit of dialog just made the whole film make perfect sense. Amazing writing.

[gibson1789]

@s0olid "It's too bad she won't live...but then again, who does?"

[boondocksaint909]

I'm glad you uploaded this scene from the Directors Cut.

I hate that commentary by Ford immediately following Batty's death... it ruins the momentum of the scene in my opinion.

Great job man.

[boondocksaint909]

[klarkolofsson]

In hundred years we will be stardust my friend.

[hippoloops]

What does the paper crane symbolize in the ending? I remember the cop making those and leaving them behind. I'm still confused on what it's supposed to symbolize.

[yellowcakeur]

it shows a connection with Ford's dream of the unicorn, hinting that the cop may know of the dream and that it is an implanted memory; meaning Ford isn't human.

[hippoloops]

Makes total sense now. I had a feeling he was a replicant.

[SynerJetics]

Ya the movie only gives subtle hints that Deckard is a replicant.

Hell Philip K. Dick is so underrated... he's genius passed us by and we weren't sure how to take it. But take it we did.

[LeftOfTheDevil]

@SynerJetics please read the original book. some scenes Dick writes about a complete braindamage. there is a scene with a underground policedepartment full of androids.

complete nonsens. without ridley scott's changes in the story it would be just stupid. Dick did a lot of logic mistakes in his writing because of his drug abuse.

But UBIK is freakin great.

[captainsharkey]

Yup, that about nails it.

[LeftOfTheDevil]

@hippoloops the origami-unicorn that rachael found on the floor, is the proof that deckard is also a replicant. Gaff made without knowing it was a dream by deckard. so it has to be a memory implant.

[aaarrrggghhhh]

Words fail me!

[lostm0ments]

Couldn't have said it better.

[waddman136]

So who is more human in this film? The "humans" or the replicants?

[JJWnetwork]

@waddman136 both

[Simon0]

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
