In the theatre the Vangelis sound track was haunting in such a dark movie.
Glad you checked this one out. I find it's a movie that grows on you over time. The atmosphere is great and personally I like ambiguous endings. The sequel is worth a watch.
Blade Runner 2049 is a rare sequel that actually lives up to the level of an all time classic first film. Def worth watching at some point.
5:00, in these early scenes Rachel seems very poised and almost perfect. But as she comes into the knowledge that she is a Replicant her appearance gets lets perfect, less poised...but more human.
Yes Deckard was trying to teach Rachel how to love because she had no experience how to do that. It might seem aggressive but Rachel has superior strength and abilities than Deckard does and she could handle herself if she wanted to. She's emotionally vulnerable and inexperienced and Deckard didn't know how much time they'd have with each other so he gave her a crash course.
"Jumpscare" hahaa. What a different cinema world we live in now.
Absolutely brilliant movie, cast and performances by Harrison ford and one of my favourite actors, the late Rutger hauer may he rest in peace (way ahead of it's time) 👐👐
That’s great that you called the romance. Now you have to watch the sequel 2049
Great movie. Blade Runner 2049 is worth checking out too.
32:40 Roy is dying. All of his life he has been a combat soldier. Given his physical attributes he could have easily ended Deckard without trying.
Before Roy goes out he wants to have one last battle, one last duel. But he doesn’t want an easy win either . That’s why he said “If you can’t get it up(meaning Deckard’s game) then I will have to kill you”
Blade Runner wasn't a critical or financial success when it was first released. But in the last 40+ years it has become one of the most influential science fiction movies of all time. So many films like The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell were inspired by this film.
14:19 They can’t arrest Replicants as they are superhumanly strong, fast and durable. If a Replicant felt the inclination to act out, a cop can’t exactly tase or club them into submission.
That’s why for a Replicant to be caught trespassing on Earth is illegal and punishable by death…aka retirement.
Since the Replicants are a direct threat to the safety of the most powerful person in the world, Deckard was under immense pressure to find every one of them and do what Blade Runners do best: retire Replicants. For the most part, Deckard is successful in killing all his targets. 🤔
Great reaction as always, about 2019's futuristic ideas, the movie was made in the '80s but the book was written in 1968. The thought of flying cars was all the rage back then and look at Back to the Future, they thought we'd have them in 2015. Happy New Year JM.
Thank you & same to you!
1:23 "there's always a jump scare at the beginning."
your jump scare reaction was all in your eyelids. the flutter.
12:54 - Ford used to speak like this before 1973 (American Graffiti). His voice became deeper only after that, Maybe because of smoking or he just change it.
The villain is Tyrell. This masterpiece gets better with every viewing.
I think Deckard was initially rough with Rachel to see if it triggered a replicant defense response. It did not. Baty's monologue in the end was ad libbed. And, yes, it's intended for you to be confused about who the bad guy really is.
There is controversy over whether Deckard himself is replicant without a time limit, with no knowledge of it like Rachel, or whether he's a normal human. The original Philip K. Dick novel ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") makes it clear that Deckard is fully human. The theme of the novel is that Deckard has been killing replicants so long that he's lost the empathy that is the only way to detect a replicant, while at the same time, the replicants have become so human there is no way to reliably detect them...they even have religion in the novel, and in the movie Roy Baty develeoped empathy enough to save Deckard
Philip K. Dick's stories always ask the question "What is reality and how do you know it?" The question asked by the novel is, "If there's no way to tell the difference between natural and manufactured humans, then what difference does it make?" (Fun Fact: Philip K Dick's work has been made into more movies and television shows than any other science fiction writer.)
The director of the movie, Ridley Scott, OTOH, implies that Deckard is a replicant without knowing it. IMO, that's a less sophisticated theme than the novel's original theme. The original theatrical cut played to the novel's theme, but the later director's cut played to Scott's interpretation. What what it's worth, Harrison Ford himself believed Deckard to be human.
There is a recent Bladerunner 2049 which is a semi-sequel. It's a cinematic work of art.
I'm halfway through this and no comment on how friggin' gorgeous the visuals are? Oh well.
Sorry about that, they definitely were very ahead of their time👌🏻
I’m glad this movie made you think.That’s what the best science-fiction does,and this is one of my favorites in the genre,if not my absolute favorite.I can’t wait for you to watch the sequel,Blade Runner 2049.You may also want to watch the 3 or 4 short films that the sequels director had others make which explain certain changes that happened in this futuristic world between this movie and the sequel.Thanks again,and have a good day.
Great film!! Enjoyed your reaction.
I think Blade Runner 2049 was a great sequel
Thanks!! & I’ll definitely check that one out too
This movie is a classic well at least to me great reaction journey keep going
Thanks! Will do!
I LOVE your reviews Journey! BTW 0:45 The 2nd Star Wars (1980 The Empire Strikes Back) is the best of the franchise! At this point, I don't think that's an opinion, that's a fact!💯
Thank you!! & ok I’ll definitely check it out
Good movie love the video Marie stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Yup, Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years later, and continues the same story. (Psst, Deckard is a replicant. Unicorn dream, unicorn origami…)
To answer your questions at 20:46, I think Rachel is Deckard's 1st romance, and he is her 1st as well. 🤔
You definitely gotta do the other two original Star Wars movies. And I love that you're doing older stuff like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Psycho, etc. I'll echo someone else who suggested King Kong (1933), and I'll add the Japanese version of Godzilla (1954) and the original Robocop (1987) too.
One of the buildings from the top view is a Millenium Falcon
Is Rachael a "Nexus 6 Model" ?!
If Not, her Lifespan might Not be Affected The exact same way as the Rebellious Replicants ?!
Or She's Just Younger ?
Please continue Indiana Jones and Star Wars - AND the Bladerunner sequel ! 🥹🥹🥹😃😃😃
No, replicants are not arrested, they are retired. Three or four left? The boss is counting Rachel.
Important questions are raised in this movie:
1, Is it a good thing or a bad thing to make genetically engineered beings with limited life spans to do society’s dirty work?
2, Are those beings really human or not?
3, Is it a good thing or a bad thing to hunt down those artificial people and kill them when they get out of their place?
4, How can you really tell who is or is not a replicant before you kill them?
5, What do you do when those engineered people develop emotions?
Some reactors feel uncomfortable during the scene where Deckard gets intimately aggressive with Rachel. I've heard other reactors mention consent. Another big question: is consent needed from a replicant? After all, she's not a real person. Or is she? She's a replicant but is she a person? She's on Earth illegally so he should by all legal reasons retire her immediately, but he does not. Does this make Deckard a criminal? What is the legally correct thing to do? What is the morally correct thing to do? Is there a conflict?
And, most important of all, do androids dream of electric sheep?
20th Century literature--especially science fiction--was very heavily interested in exploring the deeper existential issues about reality, humanity, morality, and existence itself. The World Wars, The Depression, and The Cold War brought humanity's sanity into question, and art was where a lot of thinking came out. Oftentimes the genre and its trappings (robots, clones, superpowers, aliens, etc.) were just pieces of grander, unanswerable questions that challenges the nature of humanity and its role in the universe. This is why a lot of 20th Century art is morally grey & relativistic: the line between hero and villain is so thin as to be nonexistent at times...that's why you have trouble figuring out who the bad guy is.
19th Century genre fiction was heavily about humanity triumphing over superstition and nature.
21st Century genre fiction is heavily about humanity finding love and identity in the face of the fantastical.
But 20th Century genre fiction was heavily about humanity looking at an unfathomable universe, asking "why?" and getting no answer.
The sequel is from 2017 and it is excellent.
22:24 earth was nearly destroyed by a chemical war. That’s why there are very few, “ real “ animals left. Artificial animals were built. Like the owl,at the Tyrell corporation. That’s why many humans have left earth to colonize space. This movie takes place in the same universe as the Alien movies.
Stuff
1. Joe Turkel/Tyrell played Lloyd (bartender) in "The Shining".
2. Roy/Rutger Hauer😇 plays in Blind Fury a great first time/share.
3. Leon/ Brion James in Tango and Cash. Much bigger role first time/share also.
4. Deckard/Harrison Ford two overlooked must first time/share "Witness" and "Force 10 from Naverone".
5. In the original Roy tells Tyrell, "I want more life FUCKER" not father.
6. Ford disliked almost everything about this movie (including Sean Young). He mostly disliked the voiceover. He refused to even watch it until it was "fixed".
7. Daryl Hannah cut her elbow when she ran into that van window
8. Philipe K Dick first came up with the idea for his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
9. You must watch Blade Runner 2049.
There's a lot of disagreement on what the love scene was about. I've always thought Deckard was trying to increase her confidence by giving her memories she knew were real. Rachel says in that seen. "I csa't rely..." And trails off but I'd guess the next word would have been "memory". During the piano scene she also talks about not knowing if her piano lessons were real
2:01, I like to think of this as 2019 in an alternate reality in which technology developed quicker than in our real world. But with that increased technology they have an ecosystem that looks like it's about to collapse. Hence, that declining environment is one of the reason people are leaving to go off planet.
👌
There is another one which I think you'd like. BTW I enjoy your reactions especially because you pick up on a lot of little things that people may miss. Smart and pretty :)
So I think one movie you might really enjoy if you have not seen it before is Apocalypto which is directed by Mel Gibson. Another really awesome movie is called Warrior (from 2011) with Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte. I think both of those are fantastic.
Aww thanks for the kind words😊& I’ve actually seen apacolypto a few times. Super sad & beautiful🥲but I’ll add the other one to my list
plz watch blade runner 2049 🙏🏻
Blade Runner 2049 might even be a better movie, if that’s possible. Must see!
Roy could feel himself dying, his body shutting down. The nail through his hand was to keep from passing out
Roy saved Deckert because as he was dying, he realized the value of all life, even his enemy’s.
The bigger theme here is one the author Philip K. Dick was deeply concerned with, what does it mean to say you’re human? What does it mean to be a sentient being?
Good luck with your channel. You are one of the more intelligent and sincere reactors.
Thank for breaking that down & for the kind words!🙏🏼🥲
the 1982 theatrical version is the best
Good question, who's the real bad guy? Personally I think it was time.
22:30, Yes Earth is a bit of a slum. If you are wealthy or you have good health and marketable skills they let you immigrate to a colony planet. If not you are stuck.
Yeah the romance scene is a bit rapey. Not as bad as Straw Dogs obviously but it's still too aggressive.
If Deckard is a replicant, it explains why he’s violent when he kisses her because maybe he’s never kissed anyone before and he doesn’t understand how to express emotion. Also that’s why she watched him wash blood from his mouth. Show how human they both are, for her, empathy and compassion. Then his eyes shine like hers and the replicant animals did. And the unicorn dream / origami unicorn. I think Deckard is a replicant. In the book, Electric Sheep, he and other Blade Runners test each other because they even unsure of their own selves.
The cinematography and colors in Bladerunner changed history. You're watching a newer release where they put a dam green filter over the entire movie. Esssentially ruining the beauty that it was. Dumb studios.
19:50 Very aggressive but that was 1980’s filmmaking. LOL.
But seriously Rachel doesn’t know if what she is feeling is from her own sexual triggers or those of Tyrell’s niece. When a human feels aroused or in love we at least know it’s us feeling it. So Deckard seems to be trying to get her to let go of her inhibitions and just go with it.
All that said the execution of this scene admittedly doesn’t age well.
it's the society that feels triggered on that scene but is totally ok with men participating in young women sports doesn't age well.
The greatest Sci Fi movie ever made.
An influential masterpiece by Ridley Scott.
Denis Villeneuve, a great modern director, directed BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017) and it's magnificent, one of the movies where it's like OMG DONT MAKE A SEQUEL TO BLADE RUNNER but they did a great job, Ridley Scott was involved in the process. It was not a box office success but was received well by critics and audiences and it's reputation since 2017 has only grown just like the original lol.
Denis makes great films (Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival, Dune)
PLEASE watch bladerunner 2049 next 😭👏🏻 also this movie is based on a book called “do androids dream of electric sheep,” so some things were filmed a little off or creepy compared to the book lol.
Harrison Ford he have so many great films you should check out of course the first three Star Wars films aswell as Witness, Air Force One, The Fugitive, Patriot Games, and Clear & Present Danger
required sci fi viewing
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982)
James Cameron's Terminator (1984), T2 (1991) and Aliens (1986)
George Lucas Star Wars Original Trilogy (1977, 1980, 1983)
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982, released the same time as Blade Runner, they both got belted at the box office by Spielberg's ET)
The reason Roy was grunting and cramping up at the end was because he was dying and his body was starting to shut down
This is loosely based on the novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", by Philip K. Dick. One of my favorite sci-fi films.
Your reaction was very spot on. You anticipated several things.
In the book, Deckard is married and has a replicant sheep he keeps on top of his apartment building.
Here are some other TV and films based on PKD's works. Some are likely familiar to you.

The Man in the High Castle (TV Series)
Electric Dreams (TV Series)
The Adjustment Bureau
A Scanner Darkly
Paycheck
Minority Report
Total Recall

As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
37:00, Blade Runner is partly about slavery but also it’s about the question of what it means to be human.
One of the arguments that has been used to justify slavery or just cruelty throughout history, is that the people being harmed aren’t as human or worthy as their oppressors. We all known that is bullcrap because a human being of any ethnic, political or social group can reproduce with anyone else. Those boundaries we create to separate our species into groups are just made up.
We are all human. We all are carried in our mother’s wombs then born. We all bleed red blood.
However, if you can literally build a human like being from scratch and program them for specific tasks are they still human? Remember Tyrell actually designed their brains. The other scientist Dr. Chew designed their eyes. I’m sure Sebastian was on one of the design teams for all of the other parts of Replicant genomes. From a legal standpoint designs get a patent and a patent is intellectual property of a person or a big corporation like Tyrell. Because Tyrell could build a thing that was “more human than human”, he effectively created a loophole for slavery.
Replicants don’t have parents and they aren’t born, they are simply decanted from a chamber (shown in the sequel). But in making these bioengineered beings , Tyrell did their job to well. After a while they wanted to be just like regular people. Roy was designed to be a soldier. Zhora was designed to be a seductress/assassin. Paris was designed to be a “pleasure” unit for human soldiers. Poor Leon was designed to just be a big strong manual laborer. Rachel was designed to be a corporate office worker.
There are human people in the real world who have these jobs through choice or circumstance. But humans always have a real memory of a life before the job and can usually choose to leave it. The Replicants were never given a choice in who they were or what they did…until they ran away.
Being more human than human just made the Nexus 6 plight all the more sad. They were the real victims and not the villains of this movie. Fortunately, Deckard got to save one of them.
Replicants were in general created for slave labor in off world colonoies. This explaines Roy's statement at the end of the movie about the experience to live in fear - that's what it is to be a slave. his dying soliloquy is beautiful.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."
Deckard is NOT a Replicant. First off, he gets his ass handed to him by other Replicants. Two, Deckard's arc starts with him hating Replicants and then ends with him falling in love with one. That arc would be meaningless if Deckard is himself a Replicant. Three, even the book makes it very clear he's human.
By the way, I love Rachel (Sean Young). She has this WWII secretary aesthetic style that is REALLY doing it for me. 😍
Fun Fact: Zhora was at ease with the snake around her neck because it was actually Darling, Joanna Cassidy's actually pet Burmese Python.
Shine Job Fact: Director Sir Ridley Scott and director of photography Jordan Cronenweth achieved the famous "shining eyes" effect by using the "Schüfftan Process" technique invented by Fritz Lang. Light is bounced into the eyes off of a piece of half mirrored glass mounted at a forty-five-degree angle to the camera.
Authentic Battle Damage Fact: After Pris (Daryl Hannah) first meets J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson), she runs away from him, skidding into his car and smashing the window with her elbow. This was a genuine mistake caused by Hannah slipping on the wet ground. The glass wasn't breakaway glass, it was real glass, and Hannah chipped her elbow in eight places. She still has the scar from the accident.
Great reaction 🔥💯 you got to check out cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone 1993 it a good movie
Nice you've done two Daryl Hannah movies in a row that are over 20 years apart. She is the replicant Pris here and the one-eyed assassin Elle Driver in Kill Bill.
Oh wowww didn’t even notice that was her!!
"If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes"
i guess you could interpret the scene in various ways.. you could see deckard as treating her like a sex object, being a synthetic, and not human.. you could see him as trying to force her to accept her feelings, being too unfamiliar or scared to stay, though shed like too.. you could see him as a badboy that youd like to treat you rough, if youre one of those, and find it all hot.. you could just see dickhard, i mean deckhard, as just kind of a dipsht, like i did.. or take it in any combo you like to
Not robots. You have to be clear on this, or you won't get this film or its sequel. Robots are artificial, hardware. Replicants are biological. Essentially altered humans. They are not like terminators. Replicants are flesh. They are brought into being from modified DNA and include specially created organs, like the eyes. Rachel is female in every way. (There's an alternate ending in which we learn that Rachel has no end date. She's special, more special than you know.) You have to see the sequel. It is the most highly developed sequel ever. And it answers most of your questions.
If you watch Kill Bill vol 2 theres a cool little easter egg to this movie
Love this movie, the film noir romance. The question which is still not answered in the second one IS, is Decker a replicant? Thanks, Ridley Scott for keeping it that way. Marie, l would love to see you react to AI.
As for the "Love" scene, Bladerunner is a product of its time, films in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, depicted men as being overly aggressive and the woman as being submissive, its only within the last 20 years that women have stared playing stronger roles as heros and leaders. a few acceptations aside
So, the super creepy love scene. People have a lot of thoughts on it. Themes of whether a replicant is a thing to be used, or a person with agency. Some people see it as a deckard, as someone who murders replicants, uncomfortably dealing with being attracted to one.
However, it has to be said, that the '80s were a very r****y time for love scenes. Almost every one of my favorite movies from the time has at least one moment that makes me very uncomfortable.
When I first saw this at the cinema I thought the Earth was dying and everyone that could, was getting off world. Those left behind couldn't or wouldn't leave.
I feel Bladerunner asks the question if people can make robots that are so human you cant tell the difference when at what point do you treat them like humans. The robots are illegal on earth in part because they are used as slaves and might rebel and perhaps the humans who made them dont like to be reminded that they endorsed slavery
Love your choices of movies so far, taking in good stuff from all eras. There are plenty of great movies to see, so I wouldn't be in a hurry to react to 2049. But I know from the Kill Bill video you'll do what you like!
Answering you about slavery in Roy's final monologue... the morality of designing intelligent machines strictly for labor and service purposes is framed throughout the movie in terms of enslavement and the denial of individual will. (That's an undercurrent to the scene where Deckard makes Rachel stay with him too.) But the questions of freedom also reflect on the most ancient of human existence. Why were we created - and, moreover, born into circumstances not of our choosing? Why do we have to die - and, if the spirit dies with the body, to what purpose were our experiences and emotions? Roy Batty particularly poses these analogies, going so far as to "meet his maker" for the answers and to renegotiate the terms of his creation.
Ok Marie, no more caffeine before a reaction for you.😂
🤣🤣
Maybe Roy saves Deckard because he knows or senses something that even Deckard does not know.
Roy did shout out “kinship” when he saved Deckard.
how is title card a jump scare stupid?
Lol ur stupid, stupid
