Blade Runner [Replica]

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Groovy. Not as good as your one with "Time, What Is Time," but still really good.

[SerafinKeilin]

You know what you had done by making this video?

Through discovering this video, I explored the best band with the best sond in the world. I saw the best movie ever made, and so I have one absolute favourite book now. And through the combination of both, because of this video, I got the idea for a storie I wrote and which I really like. So, thank you very, very much for making this video and showing me this great movie.

[SergeStiles]

You are welcome! I know out of all the negative feedback I get, that there is a purpose for it afterall and some good, haha.

[SerafinKeilin]

There´s only one thing for me to say: I´m so fucking THANKFUL to you for making this video. Only because I found it by luck, I know yet this great song, the much more greater movie and book and the whole of it inspired me to one of my own favourite stories. If you would never had made this video, I would have never known this great, great song and the best book in the world. So, I´m really thankful to you. Very much.

[grindtildeath]

i bought the suitcase edition a while back, its so worth it, probably my favorite dvd set

[SergeStiles]

It is pretty amazing. I'm glad they finally came out with it!

[SpookeyR]

Besides the fact that you chose something that sounds like 80s garbage to be the soundtrack for this video, I found the splattering of video clips from the movie plastered throughout the entire video to be more offensive than the song. I also thought that the song would have fit the video better if it, with all its lyrics, had a much more ambient tone, which is what the album, done by Vangelis, had!

I am looking forward to your next attempt though!

[SergeStiles]

LOL, this WAS my first attempt. My other one's not any better, but I had fun with it.

I had no idea an order of clips could offend someone. But I guess this is the internet.

Thanks for reading my description too, btw.

[freddoboy]

i think you'll find mate, that this "80s garbage" is Sonata Arctica and in my opinion one of the best bands in the world, listen to some of their songs like Fullmoon or sommot. i am offended that you have named it 80s garbage. however you are right that the lyrics fit perfectly with the video but in my opinion, the song is just amazing full stop.

[BestOfTheBestNumber9]

Fucking faggot, go suck an acid-punk-rock-dude's dick.

[SergeStiles]

Me? Ok!

[mistaseth]

excellent music and excellent movie. i am a huge sonata arctica fan and replica is one of their greatest songs ever. blade runner is also my favourite movie! soo all around good video.

[nfirmino]

Very nice :) Thanks Serge

[xoxshinookziexox]

hey, i was just wondering if this was the original or the directors cut. and if anyone could help me with this question, it would be greatly appreciated. how does ridley scott send the ultimate message of hope in blade runner? i have a few ideas but i need more! thanks!

[SergeStiles]

Director's Cut

[thecrowfanatic89]

what the name of this song

[SergeStiles]

Replica

[zoanthropicparanoia]

By Sonata Arctica :)

[freddoboy]

by sonata arctica - ma fav band :P

[sausageslaps]

what we have to remember is that when movies such as blade runner were made, the directors were an arrogant proud bunch who depended on thier works to assure them more work down the road, so we can expect movies of this genre to be pretty signifigant commitments. nowadays movies are cookie cutter crap made by what ever director happens to be next in line

[sausageslaps]

this is not meant as in insult, i agree with you as far as how great this movie is, but this music does no justice. since we only know this movie in one way, any change can be seen as bad

[SergeStiles]

The movie does its own justice. This was just for fun. But atleast people who like Sonata Arctica and this movie will find some enjoyment, and perhaps people who liked Sonata Arctica will have looked up this song, found this video, watched it, and decided the movie looked fantastic and went out to buy it and adored it, and put it in their top favourite films and told everyone about it. If so, then this was worth it, no matter what. :)

[Unilka]

the music is poor sorry... too poor that it is an direct offenc ton this film...

[SergeStiles]

I don't think there could be true offense just because you personally don't like the song. I think I just offended YOU, and that suits me just fine, LOL.

[grindtildeath]

wow you couldnt be more wrong, have you even seen this movie? or read the book for that matter?

just give up on life Unilka, u fail

[freddoboy]

i'm sorry Unilka, but you wouldn't know good music if it was dangling infront of your face. Sonata Arctica are great and their songs have so much meaning but i guess your too stupid to listen to the lyrics and just the music which you have a jaded opinion on.

[SergeStiles]

Had it definitely been a song called 'Replicant' I think I would have hit the jackpot for a music video, LOL.

[lalasgmiele500]

Do replicants have a soul??? This is the prompt of my english essay!!!!!

[anniem93]

lol i have to do

an essay to for

my english class

[SergeStiles]

I also did an English paper on this movie, LOL.

[CollegeJoe]

Visually this movie rocked, just not 'entertainment' wise.

[SpookeyR]

The game is awesome, but it is that way in large part bc it's not like in making the game they were making the book into a game. They borrowed some of the elements of the book for the game, yes, but the book is not the game AND they stayed outside & didn't mess with storyline in the movie!

[SergeStiles]

I know, I've played it, Lol.

[SpookeyR]

This is bc besides the fact that the 2nd book does NOT follow what happens in the 1st book, both books suck ass!!! They were terrible! Ridley Scott made Blade Runner what it is! Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples also did tremendous work on Blade Runner. Philip K. Dick should have written the original story as a short story so that at least it wouldn't have sucked so horribly!

[SergeStiles]

The movie was based on/inspired by the book, so yeah they're quite different. That doesn't mean the book "sucks" just because it isn't like the movie, they're both excellent in their own ways. Philip K. Dick was ahead of his time, and Do Androids Dream Of electric Sheep? isn't really that long of a book, so it might as well be a longer short story.

[SergeStiles]

Of course Blade Runner 2 wouldn't follow teh first book, because the first book isn't Blade Runner (even though they call it that to sell more copies).Philip K. Dick never even used that term, that was Ridley borrowing it from some other novel. If you want to see the genius of the book be used with the movie, you can play the computer game, and then you'll probably appreciate it more.

[SpookeyR]

I've played & love to play the game. The only two bad things about the game, that I know of, are the fact that the game gives me a rather large error when I try to play it on windows vista. And the fact that EA put Westwood out of business & now EA, who owns the rights to the Blade Runner game, isn't likely to remake the game with updated graphics, etc.

[SpookeyR]

2. I've read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and the sequel "Blade Runner 2" and I am confident that Philip K. Dick should have been a script writer for Star Trek or Star Wars, or something other such sci-fi fantasy franchise where other writers would able to mold him and his ideas, which were outstanding, into workable storylines.

[SpookeyR]

Ok, two things!

1. I've heard that the regular version of the movie and the directors cut are described not just as two versions of the same movie, but as two versions of the same story! In the regular version, with Fords narration, he is not a replicant and in the directors cut, with the unicorn dream scene & all the other metaphorical scenes, that were cut out of the regular version, that seem to indicate that Deckard is a replicant, he is, in the directors cut!

[Intranetusa]

The song would've been better off with the same tune but a better singer...

[SergeStiles]

Everyone has their different tastes in singers, but I wouldn't mind this song being re-done by different people.

[Intranetusa]

aye

[inmotionpics]

it sounds like a really bad song from the 80's. I mean, I know the film was made in the 80's, but that's no exscuse. it sucks horribly.

[SergeStiles]

I didn't write the song, LOL. So I can't apologize for it or anything.

[Tudattalan]

Ez klipp egy túró. Semmi értelme nem volt másik zenét tenni képek alá !

[whitesox4life05]

Hahaha Fear Factory..

[dirtyrotter]

blah

[SergeStiles]

Halb.

[plusmarkista2008]

hablar en español collons in spanish

[apologyisnothepolicy]

I don't care if sonata artctica wrote a song about this awesome movie,I still think that their music was made for pussies,not real headbangers

You should listen to replica, but the FEAR FACTORY song,that one fits perfectly with the mood of the movie and particularl with the character of roy

[MagnusTheSnake]

This song wasn't writen about this movie

[SergeStiles]

You're right, it wasn't.

[FenderBender2]

I see that neon lights make a comeback in 2019!!!

[coffebell]

My godness...no this dosent work, for a millions of reasons.

[damnfake]

Way to ruin a good clip from a masterpiece with purile music from a pissant band

[qFinality]

Way to misspell puerile idiot.

[BallTingle]

Jesus Christ! What were you thinking? This music sucks ass. By the way, an artificial human in Blade Runner isn't called a Replica, they are called a Replicant.The ass clowns who performed this "music" couldn't even get the proper name right.

[TKDWolf]

You realize that this song isn't about blade runner right? It just fits.

[whitesox4life05]

2:33 is just perfect timing for the audio/video. Amazing.

[mistaseth]

excellent movie, excellent music. the song went so well with it. one of sonata arctica's best songs.

[mainman666]

I love the video amazing job!!!!!

[moparmonster1965]

Is your username taken from Electric Hellfire Club, by chance?

[Waldemar3]

I'm not the biggest fan of the song, but I love what the lyrics say, the editing and choice of shots is VERY tight, and of course Blade Runner is the best sci-fi film ever...period.

FUCK THE NAYSAYERS, SERGE! GREAT JOB!!!

[whitesox4life05]

The video and song are awesome.

[DaveMurray123]

I am disgusted with all the negative reviews of Sonata Arctica. They are one of the greatest bands around right now. Great video!!!

[PeacefulTrees]

Way to go jackass!! Take clips from one of the best Sci-Fi movies in the last 30 yrs and ruin it with gay ass shit music.

[SergeStiles]

I can't please everyone with the music. I'd be surprised if I didn't get comments like this, because not everyone likes something. So I displeased you, but not others. Can't win them all. :D

[TheTaskmaster]

You're not allowed to say the music sucks without saying what would have been better so everyone can laugh and rip it apart.

[spottydog4472]

Fuk it - I hate it when somone puts some piece of young punk shit dub overlay on a movie of art..fuck sake...

[KorruptMasta]

Erm ... Sonata Arctica is in no way punk. Btw no-one will take you seriously if you just act like a kid says 'ye is fukin shit'. Seriously how does that point out the bad points of it?

[spottydog4472]

It is extremly disappointing to have such a splendid -and original music score (which still is dateless in it's originality)-overlayed by a contemporary urban soundtrack which is entirely inappropriate both in connectiveness and synergies with the film....

[SergeStiles]

I guess you weren't really paying any attention.

[koolkidz588]

lmao your an idiot spotty...this is an original piece by Sonata Arctica. Its just that the music and the lyrics go well with the theme and plot of the movie

[KorruptMasta]

Urban? Punk? Try Metal, then you'd be a hell of a lot closer. It's been a while since I've seen Bladerunner, but from what I remember the idea of 'Replicants' ties in close to Sonata Arctica's song 'Replica'. 'Empty shell inside of me, I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...' 'I had no name, last December, Christmas Eve I can't remember.' Now I admit, the story of the song is different to Bladerunner's but some elements are very similar ... it is quite appropriate in 'connectiveness' as you say.

[Deschian]

Awesome film and nice choice of music, I've only heard one/two songs at most of Sonata Arctica and they particulalry good, glad to hear soemthing else and the two were a nice blend together.

[mistaseth]

even if people dont like the style of music they atleast have to accept that it's good quality

[AJM8312]

They're possibly not fans of Sonata Artica

[HangmansDemo]

Your taste in movies is superb.

Your taste in music is superb as well...And I love to see my old friend Rutger Hauer again...we go way back..

[SergeStiles]

Heh, thanks! I don't know why people are dealin' on Sonata Arctica.

[mistaseth]

i agree, sonata arctica is one of the greatest bands ever, i love power metal. And blade runner is one of the greatest movies ever so this video is all out awesome

[SergeStiles]

It's not so much the type of music, but the words.

[aluminumkitty]

great job..love it

[xxxZENicxxx]

VERY GOOD video , VERY BAD music.

Hay musicas que no pegan nada con el "espiritu" de lo que se ve, este es un ejemplo perfecto.

[SergeStiles]

What's so bad about the music? Lol.

[tek1024]

Sonata Arctica is THE Finnish epic/power metal band, over-the-top ("cheesy") in a way that Americans (like myself) haven't been accustomed to since the 1980s, when "metal" properly faded and hip-hop-fusion took its place.

Cf. S.A.'s "The Cage" (track 03 from Winterheart's Guild).

SergeStiles, well done. _Blade Runner_ is a favorite movie, and, obviously, S.A. is a favorite band. You married the two media superbly. Thanks for this addition to YouTube.

[SergeStiles]

Ah, finally, a meaningful comment!

Thank you very much! :) I know putting it on a public site will bring the negative perhaps more than the positive, so those few who really connect and appreciate with its purpose are very well appreciated by me. So don't mind with the negative... There will be plenty without hesitation, and as inane as they are, they would never irk me.

[SergeStiles]

What people don't understand is that when someone creates something... They don't create it for everyone. No one really creates something to please everyone (It's impossible), and if someone doesn't like it, they think it's useless and sucks. I created this for people who have seen the movie Blade Runner and really comprehended it, and for those who don't mind a little Sonata Arctica that I found tied in perfectly with Philip K. Dick/Ridley Scott's story.

[SergeStiles]

Luckily I found another of those people!

I posted this for people like you, I'm glad you found it! :)

Thanks again!

[Tullece]

That is so true, how when someone doesn't like something they immediately believe it to "suck" even though other people enjoy it.

Anyway excellent job on the video, great song choice, love it all

[DarkAmbient666]

SONATA ARCTICA 4->ever

[SergeStiles]

Boo-yah!

[astrape]

iTS "SONATA ARTICA" BAND, WITH THE SONG REPLICA...

[SergeStiles]

Good observation.

[Metonimico]

hahahahaha.

xDDDDDDDDD

LoooooooL

[mreldude]

this sucked

[SergeStiles]

You're too sweet Mr. I Don't Have Any Vidos At All. :D

[mreldude]

doesn't change the fact that this sucked

[SergeStiles]

I never said it did, sweetie. :)

[mreldude]

then why did you bring it up?

[SergeStiles]

I was just pointing it out, no harm in that, hm?

[mreldude]

well it's not harmful but it is totally irrelevant

[SergeStiles]

Of course it is. :)

[tek1024]

@mreldude

What is irrelevant is your inane comment. If it sucked, give it a low rating. If it *really* sucked, point out in your *intelligently articulated* comment what exactly you didn't like. Was it the integration of video and sound? (Did you, like BlueNocturne, find the music "cheesy"?) Otherwise, keep your negative-for-negativity's-sake comments to yourself.

[SergeStiles]

Hah, I said Vidos.

[jerichocain]

Good video, bad music !!

[SergeStiles]

Lol, well, the music fits.

[seanist]

sweet video

[SergeStiles]

You're too kind. :)

[knihti]

suits the video perfectly imo

[SergeStiles]

S'why it was picked!

I guess only those who have seen th'movie'll really get this music video.

[BlueNocturne]

cheesy music...

[SergeStiles]

It's Finnish.
