Is there any truth to the idea that the " look " of Blade Runner was influenced by Fritz Lang's Metropolis ? I could imagine there being some - Like the Tyrell pyramid being inspired by Metropolis' central building.
@incredibleXMan - It can't be bettered. Nobody should do a re - make of it, because they'll very likely BUTCHER the story or smother it in " better " FX.
I wish they'd release the WHOLE track, from the very beginning up to about 1:35 is always missing from the orig soundtrack. Anyone know if the entire track is available anywhere?
@tommyt1971 Don't know if it's available anywhere, but I hate how they do that. The whole point of buying a soundtrack is to listen to the music you heard in the movie, not some alternate version.
@Secundas Thanks! I've heard it used to be avail in Europe on CD, would've been nice to get it in an Italian or French music store when I was there but I'd probably have had to traipse all over those countries looking for it!!
I wonder what would have happened if Vangelis had gotten his soundtracks for "Blade Runner" and "Missing" - which were both produced at approximately the same time - mixed up...
@keirdullea I think MrElephantMemory is referring to himself as Turkish, thus giving his statement emphasis on how GREAT he thinks Vangelis is. The Greeks and Turks do not get along, so for him (a Turkish person) to say how GREAT he thinks Vangelis really is, is really saying alot. His statement "Coming from a Turkish person", tells you that HE is Turkish. It is also listed as his country on his channel.
Would you like me to explain the film Blade Runner to you as well, Keirdullea?
The probably best part of the scene are the parts you dont see, but can imagine. You dont see a lot of people here, but can imagine how they feel in this city...
What looks more realistic? CGI Coruscant City in SW or the Blade Runner cities? Its more a rhetorical question... as for my pov the models were more realistic. I recently saw Alien 2, and the spaceship looks better than any cgi made one.. its cheaper to do, but the realism lies clearly with models in many cases. Of course, you couldnt do a Jar Jar with mask on, or Avatar.. but in many aspects models are the better choice, especially in Sci Fi.
you people watch Blade Runner for fun?? - im sorry i guess i have a biased opinion seeing as i have to analyse this movie, and compare and contrast the parallels of this text with Frankenstein....
quite true - the best Sci-fi movie ever. You can always remember the smokey and dark impression, a somehow hopeless atmospere. But anyway daily business and rush hours are the same and most of the people don't try to reflect their own beings just for a second. At the end a replicant understands the value of life itself and the love of our hunter is not determined on a fixed date anymore.
Remember of course that the story for this is from Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' and that the full plot in the book is even better.
I only wish they made sets like this in modern movies -- creating an entirely believable city was quite an accomplishment. No matter how good the CGI is it will never compare to something tangible, especially when it is as well done as it was in Blade Runner.
I tripped on this last night, we took the audio for this and my friend literally thought he was in the future, Thank you Vangelis, Ridley Scott and Harrison ford<3
true sci fi fans know bladerunner is the greatest sci fi ever made. some poeple dont like it because of how dark it is... how it makes you feel emotions. they prefer avatar with its rpetty colors and soft script because it doesnt make them think about the true world.
@AHafan2 Execution...retirement...whatever works! Jeez...maybe with a good car chase, a bad-guy with an Eastern European accent and a couple of "Yippie-kai-yay, motherfuckers!"'s , Blade Runner could've at least DOUBLED it's fan base! Throw in some hentai lesbians and some beer pong and we'd have a PAR-TAY!!!
Awesome movie....... one of my all time favorites. Imagine living in a world where there really are "replicants" as depicted in the movie...... one day...... one day soon. I'm sorry I won't live long enough to see it.
At first I didn't like this movie. I was looking at the cover art on the dvd seeing Harrison Ford in this futuristic setting and thinking it would be like if Han Solo got his own movie. After watching it again and actually paying attention, I realized how dark and story-driven it is, just utterly amazing.
Absolutely phenomenal, easily in my top 3 Ridley Scott movies, this opening scene alone shows the gorgeous special effects and the hauntingly beautiful music of this masterpiece film.
I remember when this released. The adverts for it made it look a lot more exciting a film than it was. To me it was ground-breaking, but it's incredibly bleak and more thought-provoking than entertaining.
the first time i saw this film, most of it i didnt understand. but each time i watch it, it just seems to become better and more important. if it isnt the best movie ever made, its definitely the best sci fi ever made.
Bud Alper as sound editor,Haskell Wexler's[uncredited]Cinemaphotography,Sir Run Run Shaw as Producer,etc.Trumbull and the Yurichich's had already worked on 2001,Star Wars,and Close Encounters,they are masters at their own respective fields,not to mention Robert Spurlock on Miniatures would be an oversight.Ther are Plenty I have left out,and for that, sorry;space is limited. Vangelis,of course,as he has shown,WAS the perfect choice;this movie is superior to Lawrence of Arabia-I LOVEBLADERUNNER..!
Could anyone else have turned Philip K.Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"into this shining,polished,mult-faceted jewel that this movie is?

That would be very expensive. Also, finding good model builders today is hard. Those years before cgi really was the epitome of matte paintings, stop motion and blue screen. Today they praise the animators and programmers.
You know I won't mind a prequel (never sequel nor remake nor reboot) AS LONG AS! The very very very same people who made this film are the crew, Harrison Ford must reprise the role of Deckerd and off course Sir Ridley Scott must be the director or else leave this movie alone, FOREVER!
@chasethesound Yeah I thought about that after I commented and was like crap...but then again they got a young Jeff Bridge in Tron: Legacy and a CGI-ed Arnold in Terminator Salvation and Ridley Scott is godlike when it comes to making movies
baronvonpenguin....there's "M presents...Music from Movies-Blade runner" It contains the original opening and some others great tunes that not appear in the blade runner original soundtrack,look for it in the pirate bay or any Utorrent site.
The opening scene to this film, man i get goosebumps everytime. The setting and the genius of Vangelis is absolutely breathtaking. I dont care what anyone says, one of the most influencial sci-fi films EVER made, and IMO the best ever....
@jmmerone Because CGI is cheaper. But yeah, I miss the times when they had to get really creative with special effects rather than just resorting to CGI for everything. :(
I remember having to drive to another town one time to go buy some records. Down this steep hill, there was an aura of light in the distance, with not much blocking the view. What I saw was a collection of orange lights of a smoggy city.
Seriously, is there a better fuckin opening to any other film? Why in the name of Allah is music from the first half of this clip not available? I mean, the third disc on the 3 CD version of the soundtrack is surely the most pointless release associated with the film. Anyone remember when ye couldn't even get the original score? That awful New American Orchestra thing? Sweet Jesus that was a killer listening to that. And don't get me started on score to The Bounty!
Ridley Scott's films are mould shattering and this is his best, the art of the film maker is shown in every aspect of this, from the SFX, The story and the music, all blending together to make an almost dream-like experience of the near future...Visually stunning it lacks nothing and has lost nothing even close to three decades since it was made, True Science Fiction like this is just not made any more... Sadly
@MrCWilding I agree almost wholeheartedly. I do disagree with the comment that "True Science fiction like this is just not made any more" though because there are still some really excellent films of the genre being made. However, it's all a lot easier these days and films that expand the boundary of the technology don't tend to be made any longer. Technology just moves so fast now and so much more is possible I think.
@MrCWilding And his return to scifi with his upcoming (Alien-prequel-but-not-an-Alien-film) Prometheus will be a breath of fresh air to remind Hollywood of the craft.
@MrCWilding - I agree about true science fiction like this not being made any more but I think I'd go further and say that science fiction this good is pretty much *solely* the province of Ridley Scott. Alien was also as well realised and coherent, but very few other films are - with the possible exception of 2001, which I can't stand anyway.
@tedsler Whoa now, ease up brother, just go to google and look for youtube to mp3 converter, it'll extract the audio from the video into a soundtrack.
I was 14 when this film came out. Do you have any idea what a film of this greatness does to a kid, it makes most other SciFi films a disapointment, even after nearly 30 years.
When I saw this movie again something popped in my head such a question that needs to be said "Does god create our souls or is it Us that we create our souls?"
@MateoKalifas420 I don't think anyone ever claimed Avatar was the best sci fi movie. Unless theyre idiots ofc. It had great special effects and 3d. But that was about it.
If ever there was a film where the sound set the mood.....
Vangelis elevated this film of mood into greatness. Humans don't always need compelling story to reach our soul. Sometimes mood, atmosphere, just a gentle push toward intangibles is all we need.
The music is beautiful and if you really think about it, using a synthesizer is appropriate for the score of a film about synthesized people. Deus ex machina
@IcePirate3 there are a lot of tracks that are not put in soundtrack. vangelis tried for some time to publish them, but as far as I know he faced a lot of difficulties at first.Then, after some years, movie and soundtrack became cult, but now vangelis is reluctant to release full soundtrack. hell, he has some pieces he did not put in movie (rechel's song is one of them but he has more which he did not release at all).I would like him to release "everything" he has on blade runner
The opening scene to this film, man i get goosebumps everytime. The setting and the genius of Vangelis is absolutely breathtaking. I dont care what anyone says, one of the most influencial sci-fi films EVER made, and IMO the best ever....
One of the most mesmerizingly haunting opening themes of all time....
Vangelis's ability to capture narrative subtle nuances through sound, using, of all things, synthesizer, is quite a remarkable achievement. A virtuoso.
Good candidate. Yet BR seems a bit special to me, because it goes down a non-obvious route for a film about a fairly bleak dystopian world. It changes the feel of the movie by suffusing it in a kind of human warmth, giving it a kind of hazy dreamy quality that wouldn't be there otherwise. Hermann's score for Psycho is iconic, and totally intertwined with the popular image of the movie, yet in some ways its harsh, attacking shrieks are one of the more obvious ways to go.
(Although that's perhaps slightly question-begging, because Hermann more or less invented that style of score for Psycho, and it's been imitated so much since...)
@KaitainCPS Well, the harsh attacking shrieks are hardly ever present in the score. Only in those 3 horrific moments. But they do add something. They're like both gasps from a person, but also cries from a bird. Subconsciously pointing to the culprit via association. Herrmann's music, and that of Barry, Williams, Goldsmith, Rosza, North and Rosenman - always added something unique.
Let's not forget the vast amount of hazy, dream-like music for the majority of the film. It's a very subtle score.
I actually prefer Hermann's soundtrack for Taxi Driver, but I think I'm a sucker for woozy, intoxicated scores, especially ones that contrast with or augment harsher subject matter.
@griffisu1 These days I wonder if anyone will ever do better. Seeing where the world's works of the imagination are going... I don't think they will...
June 1982, Sci Fi´s greatest summer ever : E.T., Carpenter´s The Thing, Star Trek II and fu%$in Blade Runner. Never be able to top that summer ever muthafu%$as!!!
I was once in a large Chinese city, sitting in a crowded bus in the evening. It had been raining for days so everything was moist and damp. Peering out the window, i saw droves of people on the street, the flashing neon signs, made up of chinese characters, on stores and the shades of the tall building pointing towards the sky. I had this music on.
This moive had the best soundtrack/score/music of all time. Why it never got a proper, comprehensive, definative release is a crime against humanity. Get/Listen to the "Esper Edition" If you can. Vangelis' finest moments.
Breathtaking even (almost) 30 years after... fantastic. Please do not spoil it by doing a remake, sequel, whatever. Just let it be the eternal classic that it is. Thank you!
This along with Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon A Time In The West' feature the greatest opening sequences in movie history.
I get goose bumps every time I witness the magical marriage of music and visuals that are the start of this Ridley Scott masterpiece...........(and to think before this he made 'Alien', yet another visually stunning, massively influential, genre defining milestone in SF movie history.....what a genius !!)
The opening scene to this film, man i get goosebumps everytime. The setting and the genius of Vangelis is absolutely breathtaking. I dont care what anyone says, one of the most influencial sci-fi films EVER made, and IMO the best ever....
Still the greatest film ever made. Rutger awesome, music awesome, the creation of a dark yet seductive future world in its entirety.....never been equalled, Genius
There's something about seeing the sprawling, futuristic landscape and hearing the music which is both terrifying and beautiful... it's really awe-inspiring.
One of my favorite films though I do prefer the "original" theatre version with the narration. Unfortunately the only version available on VHS or DVD is the 'Directors cut'.
Por el tema de entrada principalmente fue que me llamó la atención de la película la primera vez que la vi en 1983 (tenía 14 años) y me impresionó y maravilló a tal grado que hasta la fecha TODA la película la sigo viendo sin cansarme.

Ridley Scott's films are mould shattering and this is his best, the art of the film maker is shown in every aspect of this, from the SFX, The story and the music, all blending together to make an almost dream-like experience of the near future...Visually stunning it lacks nothing and has lost nothing even close to three decades since it was made, True Science Fiction like this is just not made any more... Sadly

@MrCWilding
IMO it is still the best-looking science fiction film ever made.
Second-best is "Alien".
Sci-fi was Ridley's true calling.
KaitainCPS 10 months ago
@MrCWilding I agree almost wholeheartedly. I do disagree with the comment that "True Science fiction like this is just not made any more" though because there are still some really excellent films of the genre being made. However, it's all a lot easier these days and films that expand the boundary of the technology don't tend to be made any longer. Technology just moves so fast now and so much more is possible I think.

@MrCWilding And his return to scifi with his upcoming (Alien-prequel-but-not-an-Alien-film) Prometheus will be a breath of fresh air to remind Hollywood of the craft.

@MrCWilding - I agree about true science fiction like this not being made any more but I think I'd go further and say that science fiction this good is pretty much *solely* the province of Ridley Scott. Alien was also as well realised and coherent, but very few other films are - with the possible exception of 2001, which I can't stand anyway.

If ever there was a film where the sound set the mood.....
Vangelis elevated this film of mood into greatness. Humans don't always need compelling story to reach our soul. Sometimes mood, atmosphere, just a gentle push toward intangibles is all we need.

@IcePirate3 there are a lot of tracks that are not put in soundtrack. vangelis tried for some time to publish them, but as far as I know he faced a lot of difficulties at first.Then, after some years, movie and soundtrack became cult, but now vangelis is reluctant to release full soundtrack. hell, he has some pieces he did not put in movie (rechel's song is one of them but he has more which he did not release at all).I would like him to release "everything" he has on blade runner

One of the most mesmerizingly haunting opening themes of all time....
Vangelis's ability to capture narrative subtle nuances through sound, using, of all things, synthesizer, is quite a remarkable achievement. A virtuoso.

RogueRotting360 10 months ago
@RogueRotting360
Good candidate. Yet BR seems a bit special to me, because it goes down a non-obvious route for a film about a fairly bleak dystopian world. It changes the feel of the movie by suffusing it in a kind of human warmth, giving it a kind of hazy dreamy quality that wouldn't be there otherwise. Hermann's score for Psycho is iconic, and totally intertwined with the popular image of the movie, yet in some ways its harsh, attacking shrieks are one of the more obvious ways to go.
KaitainCPS 10 months ago
@KaitainCPS
(Although that's perhaps slightly question-begging, because Hermann more or less invented that style of score for Psycho, and it's been imitated so much since...)
KaitainCPS 10 months ago
@KaitainCPS Well, the harsh attacking shrieks are hardly ever present in the score. Only in those 3 horrific moments. But they do add something. They're like both gasps from a person, but also cries from a bird. Subconsciously pointing to the culprit via association. Herrmann's music, and that of Barry, Williams, Goldsmith, Rosza, North and Rosenman - always added something unique.
Let's not forget the vast amount of hazy, dream-like music for the majority of the film. It's a very subtle score.
RogueRotting360 10 months ago
@RogueRotting360
I actually prefer Hermann's soundtrack for Taxi Driver, but I think I'm a sucker for woozy, intoxicated scores, especially ones that contrast with or augment harsher subject matter.

I was once in a large Chinese city, sitting in a crowded bus in the evening. It had been raining for days so everything was moist and damp. Peering out the window, i saw droves of people on the street, the flashing neon signs, made up of chinese characters, on stores and the shades of the tall building pointing towards the sky. I had this music on.
Almost felt like november 2019....
