- I re-editied the scene with an earlier version that expands upon how Roy got in the elevator. When watching Blade Runner I never got the impression he was in the elevator again, I always thought that it was a skylight or a projection of stars similar to the projection of water on walls in the Tyrell Corp building. Sadly I did not edit in the "give me more life, f*cker" line.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long… brilliant.
0:17 Tyrell realizes he's going to die
the elevator scene is so tragic, starting at 4:37: "Mum!?"
I have burned twice as bright in my life..God put me in very good container..in my old age still burning twice as bright and I don't live in my glory days..cause my future is brighter than my past...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC
In this sequence, Roy and Eldon are each other's opposite.
Roy wants more life from his creator.
Eldon gives less life to his creatures.
Tyrell is wearing a white dressing gown.
Batty is wearing a long black jacket.
Eldon has vision problems and is wearing glasses.
Roy has perfect eyesight.
Tyrell has black hair.
Batty has white hair.
Roy is a killer, but he has no blame for who he is.
Eldon is a victim, but he's not blameless.
I watched one of the making of Blade Runner videos. In the video they claim Tyrell was a replicant also. The human Tyrell had died 4 years earlier and was replaced . His biobody is in a coffin on a higher floor. That was not turned into a scene but the art work still exists.
This is movie making worth paying and going to the theater for.
and yet, no one did.
I love both versions of this scene!
What is the other version?
@@Jack458111 The other version is the original from 1982 which is slightly less violent (the shot of him puncturing Tyrell's eyeballs with his thumbs is not present). There's also a dialogue difference. In the original, Roy says "I want more life, fucker" instead of "I want more life, father". Personally, I prefer this version because of the added violence (which is appropriate) and I think 'father' is a much more symbolic line.
Apparently, Tyrell was wrong: www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0500-9.
This is in an alternate future where they haven't discovered CRISPR

I thought he took the owl with him
On the one hand, I'm glad this didn't make the theatrical cuts. To the audience at large, seeing Roy Batty so broken, vulnerable, and scared would have seemed so totally out of character from what we expect of him, given his tremendous physical and mental abilities. On the other, it makes perfect sense, and it explains Roy even more deeply. Tyrell is his "father". What kind of father is he, who expects his creation to metaphorically fly around the world, when he is the same man who has clipped his wings(short lifespan) in a bid to keep him obedient? Only the most narcissistic of parents would show the lack of remorse Tyrell seems to show towards him and his fellow Replicants. I understand this in a way many, albeit a minority, can. Another way it makes sense is the unmistakeable reference to Oedipal rage/remorse--Roy Batty killing his creator/father, and the eye gouging. In the legend, Oedipus kills his father--but the divergence of the movie occurs since Oedipus, in unrequited remorse, gouges out his own eyes before casting himself into the sea.
Am I reading it correctly that a minority person could emphasize with a replicant, whereas a majority population person (read: white) can't?
Just curious here.
@@chinchilla415 No. That's not at all what I was saying, my bad if it came off that way. What I meant is simply a minority of all people as a whole who have seen and are fans of this movie. You see, Blade Runner is what's called a cult classic. It's not mainstream popular like, say, Star Wars--after all, who hasn't seen Star Wars at least once? But those(a MUCH smaller percentage) who have seen Blade Runner and like it, tend to be huge fans of it. Hence, the term cult classic. So since only a minority of people are fans of and understand BR, only a minority could empathize with Roy and his fellow Replicants. No hard feelings about the misunderstanding, hope I did a better job explaining myself this time..... : )
Mom?
this should be reinserted with a few tweaks..
Seminal scene.
It's not an easy thing to meet your Maker.
One best film ever....
This is NOT the original scene in which Roy says. 'I want more life, FUCKER.'
I saw this when it came out, in theaters. Amazing movie, even more dramatic back then. He did make that statement in the theatrical release. Apparently, Ridley didn't like that or the narration and corrected those in subsequent reissues. There was no internet, and no DVD's even back then so all this extra material trickling out over the decades has been interesting to see.
@@JohnJohn-fz6ntfucker was in the Directors Cut though?
I noticed it straight away, wokism in action right there. The word, in the context it was made for, was perfect. Glad others noticed too.
@@Garth-e3b Correct! The original is much more powerful & hints at what's to come. The difference in tone between FUCKER & FATHER is huge & was intentional.
