#BladeRunner #Movies #RidleyScott
thank you Matty for never watching movies in your life up until this channel's launch, you're giving us a lot of entertainment
Thank you! I’m having so much fun exploring this part of life.
I couldn't agree with this sentiment more. I don't hear it from a lot of people, but one of my favorite feelings in life is when you watch somebody else enjoy something that you love. I don't know if that's weird, but watching somebody fall in love with something that you also love, especially if you were the one that showed them it, it's just like nothing else. I love showing people movies and games and just watching them enjoy it and it just brings my heart so much warmth warmth, so this channel has been just amazing for me
Matty constantly rewinding Blade Runner shouting at his TV “Enhance!”
Underrated comment 😂
LOL
Bladerunner is so amazing. I watch this every year at least once. The world building, the back stories, and the speech at the end was so amazing.
Both Blade Runner films are utter masterpieces, both left me in tears.
This channel has been incredible. Both you guys have great chemistry and the episodes are the perfect length, but wouldn’t complain if longer.
Blade Runner garners the most interesting discourse and this was no exception. Love that you loved Blade Runner, Matty!
Fun fact in Fallout 4 you can find the "Tears in Rain" scene from the end of the movie laid out on the rooftop of the Mass Containment Shed.
You can find it in CyberPunk as well
@@mariodpgodoy that's neat didn't know about that!
No way... thats so sick
That’s awesome!!
You’ve gotta watch 2049 now
I actually really enjoyed the Blade Runner PC game! It's a decent little point & click detective game that's highly faithful to its source material.
The identity of the replicants are randomized every playthrough, so you genuinely have no idea if the NPCs you talk to are human or not.
You have no idea how happy this episode has made me. As well as the alien and the terminator videos. These are so e of my all time favorite movies I've probably seen over 100 times since I was a kid, and it's soo amazing seeing a youtuber I already loved to watch, get to see them for the first time, and sharing your journey. I'm actually soo jealous you get to watch these for the first time.
I can't wait till you eventually get to the thing. It's up there with those I mentioned above, as well as the planet of the apes reboot and the dune movies
RIP Vangelis. Such an incredible soundtrack. "Memories of Green" is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music. The sound of future nostalgia.
I watched both blade runner the final cut and blade runner 2049 for the first time back to back when I bought the 4K blu-rays a couple years ago it was such a great experience!
I can't wait until he watches Dune to see if that might top it. I don't think it will, but maybe it will come close because those two movies together is just a masterpiece
50 mins? You know this is gonna be a banger
What a quick 50min!! Fantastic!
Fantastic episode, boys.
Matty discovering that old movies look better than new movies with tons of CGI. Love to see it. Wait till you get to 2001 A Space Odyssey. A film from 1968, that still holds up, in many cases still even looks better than new science fiction movies that are coming out.
love the channel / your videos -- quite pleased you enjoyed Blade Runner so much, it's been one of my top 5 movies across all genres since first seeing it on (probably) July 6th or 13th, 1982 (Tuesdays were my cohort's standing movie night back then, a habit i should try to revive)
i of course saw the version with the Harrison Ford narration back then and had no problem with it at the time, it seemed kind of appropriate for a sort of retro steam-punk dystopian future scifi film noir
i found your channel just after you started this series and look forward to seeing this series completed, i'll see you both on your patreon soon
I had no idea it was that far down on IMDb. That is a travesty.
I'm so glad Matty enjoyed it so much. Blade Runner can go either way and I wasn't sure which side he was going to fall on. Now that I know he loved Blade Runner I can say for sure he's in for a treat with 2049.
I'd love to see Matty watch the 1995 Ghost in the Shell after watching Blade Runner
LETS GOOOOOOO IM SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT
I love Blade Runner too... Blade Runner 2049 is my second favorite movie of all time after Fight Club
My favorite film of all time. Once you see it it’s crazy when you realize just how many different things it’s influenced over the past 40 years. From movies and TV shows, to video games and anime, to even fashion and music.
Also I love that Matty mentioned Blade Runner Blues. I remember searching for it on UA-cam after I first saw the movie when I was like 14 and just listening to that track over and over again.
1 - Deckard doesn't dream of a unicorn, he is awake. 2 - Nobody has memories of unicorns. 3 - He constantly loses badly to replicants physically and needs a gun.
I don't think Deckard is a replicant, it wrecks the whole story, Deckard and Rachel both find their humanity, just differently.
BTW Rachel is a proto-type, no set life span.
Amazing episode. And I knew he would love it, didn't expect to find out about it so soon though. And I agree the OST by the legendary Vangelis is magical.
Man this is a good movie. Also it really helped me understand and appreciate all the references in Fallout 4. The Institute scientists act so similar to the scientists in the Tyrell Corporation. I love how Nicks coat looks a little similar to Harrison Fords coat. I do wish “That Gun” was in the game though.
Matty was on fire this episode, so happy you loved the movie this much and your explanations on why were very well said. Hyped for you to watch 2049 now, i love both pretty much the same...interested to see where you fall.
Matty’s taste in movies slowly becoming more and more justified and some of my favorites as well let’s fucking go!! Just watched Deadpool & Wolverine with my brother and some friends it was amazing it’s up there for sure. I’m loving these.
It was amazing how badly Blade Runner did in theaters back when it came out. Obviously, it was well ahead of its time, since once it was on home video, more and more people started talking about it. So much so that all those other editions of it came out on video and DVD and BluRay. So much so that so many things that came after it borrowed from it's aesthetic and narrative. It truly is one of the base parts of the visual mix of so many scifi films and shows... including The Matrix (which was the next big film that really redefined an aesthetic as much as Blade Runner had).
A lot of that aesthetic comes from PKD's original novel. But is also heavily influenced by other cyberpunk works from the time, notable Neuromancer (which still has one of the best opening lines ever: "They sky was the color of a television tuned to a dead channel.")
It was also the first real cyberpunk things to make it to the big screen (at least from the U.S.). It remains one of the few actual cyberpunk things that has (and also one of the few that hasn't ended up looking really silly as real world tech has passed it by... like, y'know, Hackers or Johnny Mnemonic). That particular scifi sub-genre has gotten a lot more love in video games over the years and in a handful of TV shows.
You can't forget to also watch the shorts that helped bridge the gap between the movies. I know Matty will love the animated one.
This is really cool to watch movies beside you Matty! And get a first viewing watch! I’ve never seen this movie and when I watched it years ago I couldn’t get through it but I trusted Locke and watched through and I didn’t get as much as you but I enjoyed it a lot more this time and had fun watching it beside you! Plus I joined the Patreon a while ago and best purchase by far!!
We gotta show Matty a western if he hasn't seen one yet 🤠
He should start with Bone Tomahawk lol.
Totally won’t traumatize him.
I don't know why I didn't think to mention this sooner, but Matty has to look up the nearest Meow Wolf to him and make a day of it. It may help to have watched Total Recall and other Retrofuture movies first to more appreciate the vibes, but man visiting that place was so impactful to me.
I personally find both movies in this universe to be differently equal. I find they both envoke different moode to me, so my mood would directly dictate which one I'll watch.
Blade Runner is one of my all time favorites. It pains me greatly that neither the original or sequel were very successful.
I do hope you love 2049. I don't agree that it's better than the first one but it's still fantastic
The fact we dont have a "Blade Runner Isolation" is a crime against humanity.
One of the things that blew my mind i didn't find out till later is that i thought they were robots but they aren't. They are more like programmed clones
Watched this too when I heard you mention it, was very solid
THIS is the movie I was waiting for you to watch :D Good shit, Matty!
Its crazy how many pretentious miserable losers there are in these comments. Glad you enjoyed the movie Matty thank you for the breakdown of your thoughts
I love this movie soooo much.
I've watched this one so many times.
Love this series and love that you're doing 2049 right after this.
I've watched the main 3 versions of Bladerunner and always wanted more in that universe
About the fedora, Deckard was supposed to have one. But when they brought Harrison Ford to talk to him, he was wearing a fedora, because he just came from shooting indiana jones that day, so Ridley decided to not make Deckard wear it.
So glad you liked it dude
Han shooting first isn't a theory, it happened. Despite it being thematically correct for his character, ie. outlaw and not an idiot, Lucas just pussied out of the choice in subsequent years. If anything that, the SE changes and his reaction to Empire (which again he's rolled back) show that sometimes the creator of something doesn't have the best insight into their own works
If you didn't know there are three shorts on youtube that Denis got made to bridge the events between this film and Blade Runner 2049. They're worth watching for sure. One of them is anime (Lock's favourite)
I absolutely love Blade Runner
Glad he enjoyed it, but I watched this for the first time today and found it too “artsy fartsy”lol. Great visuals of the past, I mean future, though.
Lock, you need to issue a correction. Blade Runner for PC is well regarded if you like PC adventure titles. You can get for like $10 bucks. Let Matty know because he might like it.
I love adventure games, and grew up on them (shameless plug: ua-cam.com/video/pv1LzjikVnc/v-deo.html ), but not this one. To be fair, the low rated Enhanced Edition from a couple of years ago also didn't do it any favors. I can almost guarantee you Matty won't like it, but I'll see what I can do.
I was always under the impression that replicants were artificial humans. People grown in a lab (or factory), not "robots."
They are not just people, some of them are stronger, some are smarter, but they are definitely not robots. I guess the correct definition is android, as in a mixture of both.
It's not 100% clear but afaik they are tailor-made "humans" created in a lab, using synthetically-grown organic tissue and with memory implants, no extra metal/robotic parts.
The Ryan Goslin take is WILD! Could not be farther from the truth.😂
Matty I can’t believe you haven’t seen this yet!! I thought you would have with how much you love cyberpunk… please do 2049 next
The theatrical version with the narrator isn’t bad, I actually like the noir feel it adds to the film and his dialogue mentions a lot of cool tidbits that add to the world building. Definitely worth checking out at least once of your a fan if the movie in my opinion.
Im really late so Matty probably wont see this, but, every version of the script, Deckard is human. Theres a video of the last screen writer explaining how Ridley Scott came up with the idea that Deckard is a replicant. David Peoples said he was reading something from the screenplay, and that some line of dialogue where Deckard says something about God, but he says "something something Father....". And Ridley thought he meant father as Tyrell, and not God. So from then on, he went around telling everyone how great this idea that Deckard is a replicant. And everyone involved in the movie, HATED the idea. And its one of the reasons why Ridley and Harrison Ford clashed so much during the production. Along side fighting with the writer.
And the unicorn scene was added later so he could really "sell" the idea that he is a replicant.
Deckard being a replicant goes against the movie since its also about the fact that Deckard had no humanity, and all the replicants did. That replicants were more human than him. And at the end he finds humanity with Rachel. Him being a replicant undoes all of that.
The voiceover was added AFTER the movie was shot, so the fact that a shot lingers has no relation to the voice over. And Harrison Ford wasnt just bored doing the voice over, he was basically trying to sabotage so they wouldnt put in the movie.
So the consensus around this is that Deckard IS NOT a replicant. You mentioned it, but it is the "han solo shot first" or the "special edition" of Ridley Scott.
I highly recommend the documentary Dangerous Days. Its 3 and half hours long, but is SO WORTH IT. Very glad Matty enjoyed it so much!
This is a better source for new content than anything Xbox related.
I’m very excited to see your reaction for 2049! Both Blade Runner 2019 (that’s what I like calling it lol) and Blade Runner 2049 are some of my favorite movies and I don’t really like one more than the other. Right now they’re one of the best duologys of all time.
It will be very interesting to see Matty's take on modern Ridley Scott. I love a lot of his modern works but they are incredibly controversial
The last duel is far better than gladiator imo. But then napoleon was far worse lol.
Hey Matty. If you liked the Blade Runner OST, definitely seek out more of Vangelis' work. I knew you would vibe to this one.
Agreed. Also the album Birth Of A New Day by 2814 captures the vibe greatly as well
I understand most gamers don't watch movies or series often! But this is why they think some games are written well because they don't understand good writing and characters
1979: Alien Budget 11 million
Box office result over 200 million
Huge success
1982: Ridley Scott’s very next movie Blade Runner, Budget 28 million
Box office result 42 million, total flop as Sir Lock said.
That fascinates me as to why or how Alien did so well but Blade Runner did so bad. Sounds like a great conversation that you guys need to have on camera!
Studio interference. Alot of the Blade Runner love comes from the Director's Cut whoch stripped out a "bored" Harrion Ford voice over and happy ending that the studio had mandated. The studio version didn't do well. Matty watched a version more in line with what the director envisioned.
Ryan Gosling is my 2nd favorite actor working rn. My wife hates him 🤣🤣
Have you ever watched Ghost in the Shell, the anime movie Matty? That movie, its sequel Innocence and the series version of Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex made me fall in love with the Cyberpunk genre when I was a kid along with Blade Runner and of course Akira.
They should let you like a video twice.... once immedietly after opening and once after watching 🔥
Hellz yeah
I really would like to hear Marty’s thoughts on the book Ready Player One, and I was reminded of this again with blade runner thinking of the references to it in the book
If you enjoyed the OST for this I also highly recommend the album Birth Of A New Day by 2814, it really captures the dreamy vibe of the city in Blade Runner, I find it to be really transporting.
Say less 🫡
This is killing me, man. Cyberpunk ripped everything from a book called Neuromancer. You should read it it invented cyberpunk. And a lot of the pioneers of sci-fi first came in books. It captures the imagery they just don’t have the money to make that stuff till later on.
I dont know if 2059 is better.. i grew up with the original. But damn is 2049, imho, is one of the best movies and sequels ever made.
After Matty gets through the greatest hits any chance he watches some classics? Like Oscar caliber Dramas or international films
I actually liked the Bladerunner game!
I guess he wont see Blade Runner: Blackout before 2049… too bad…
You need to watch Brotherhood of the Wolf. It's a French horror movie with beautiful cinematography, dubbed in English. The cgi is bad though.
I thought night city was LA just like a los santos type of deal
Dawg, you got a shot from taojjbtcrb in the intro but not vid on it?? Get to steppin brutha, she's my favorite movie
Not my favorite movie but it's cool to see Matty react to this. You can tell this is the movie that changes Matty from here on out and how he watches movies.
So what exactly DID you watch growing up?
I am replican, not replicant.
Now watch 2049 its even better
I think 2049 is a solid companion piece to the original, but I think it’s utterly insane to suggest it’s a better film.
I like that 2049 has more detective work in its narrative - they kinda gloss over that aspect a bit in the original although it still is a nearly flawless movie
Dennis Villeneuve is such a better directed than Ridley Scott. It’s not be close. Dennis has yet to strike out while Ridley’s movies are 50/50 either great or awful.
The original bladerunner is a classic for a reason but 2049 is a significantly better film.
29:13 They thought i am too stupid? Ok, Matty, close your eyes, i need to talk about something with mr. Scott. Message to Ridley Scott: your movie is a pointless boring slop, washing dishes is more exciting and thought provoking than this garbage. Nothing happened during this movie, NOTHING and it was painfully slow without any good action scenes. How about making a good movie next time instead of complaining about how unhappy audience is, after you served them trash?
Typical gamer moment. To brain dead to enjoy a slow artsy movie that has served as the blueprint for the entirety of modern sci fi.
I get it, you need your constant dopamine hits from cameos. Try out Deadpool and Wolverine, it was pretty mid but it’s perfect for the content/brained low attention span.
@@liampugh if it's blueprint for something, doesn't mean it's not trash.
No, thanks. I don't like comic book movies and as Gambit x Rogue fan i must say that Deadpool is my personal enemy + i never really liked him even before anyway.
How did Matty review stories in games if he has no context for what good writing looks like? Matty is what I think gamers deep in gaming are like 😅
When Lock and I joke about “movie snobs” in the comments, this is exact crap we’re talking about LOL. I love the idea that even though I grew up gaming, reading books and comics, watching TV, and even the rare movie that my ability to review stories is now quite literally impossible without movies even though all enjoyed me fine without that context prior. That’s such a slap in the face to all the incredible experiences that were forged across those mediums and to try to drag someone’s talent alongside it is equally ridiculous.
@RetroRewind12 completely agree. Who knew there was a prescribed list of media you MUST have experienced before you're ALLOWED to have an opinion on things. 😂
@RetroRewind12 it was a tongue in cheek comment about gamers in general. Story telling has been books and movies until very recently, TV shows and now games to some extent. Also, game reviews can be done without a great grasp of good storytelling as it is an interactive medium.
@tapersaud tbf I didn't think your original comment was that crazy insulting and I got it was a joke. There were a couple of replies before Matty commented which have now suspiciously disappeared (lol) that were absolutely insane though.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. The sequel, however, is kinda boring.
People though BR was boring back then. 2049 is to 2017 what BR was to '82, in many ways: an uncomfortable watch, alien, "boring"... And just like the original it'll be more appreciated in the future. I enjoy BR more but 49 is a bold movie.
I mean, everyone is entitled to an opinion by my god this is a terrible one.
@Honeybadger95 cook them 😭
Nah you’re Jack the Tripper. The sequel is also amazing
Don't worry I agree with you @elliot2118 it's really not a good movie especially compared to the original. Deni Villeneuve was too far in his own head worrying about making the movie look so pretty he forgot to make a compelling movie.
I think that IMDB placing is right.
I don't like the movie but it's soundtrack is fantastic, I got to admit that.
I don't like blade runner. I've seen it many times, and I've seen 2049.
They seem shallow and simple to me.
It's a cop movie. And maybe it's because I study philosophy and that's why it comes across as shallow. You're going up against philosophers in my world. Which makes this movie shallow. They are definitely grasping at something but they never reach it....shallow.
I don't like sand....
