- Do you think you could see something that would change your whole life? And could that thing, or rather person, been standing right next to you the whole time?
Blade Runner is the classic cyberpunk 1982 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford. Adapted from Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” the movie follows Rick Deckard, a retired blade runner brought back on to chase down four replicants led by Roy Batty, synthetic humans bio-engineered to be slaves on off-world colonies, and made illegal on Earth. As Deckard and Roy come face to face, the nature of Blade Runner’s world, the replicants, and perspective come to a head, as the classic cyberpunk movie explains itself in the ending. In this video essay, we’ll be looking at the entire movie and explaining what we can learn from the interplay of Deckard and Roy, as well as Rachel, another replicant, and Tyrell, the creator of the replicants. How far gone are the humans of this dystopian world, and could a new perspective bring them back? Let’s analyze it, explain the ending, and see.

Prof definitely deserves more patrons. If you ever make a higher tier, you’ve got my support. You’re one of the few content creators I think genuinely deserve money for your efforts.
"happy pride or some shit" lmfao yeah, also you look cute in that skirt (like.... i actually like it, it looks good), much love V, great content as always
I wish others can see this man’s work and spread the message. It’s video like these that should be memorialized as lessons for those that come before us.
I do hope that if we have to go through some fallout like event, something I made would at least be an easter egg in that world haha. But, I've already received a lot more praise and validation than I ever imagined, honestly I'm lucky
Yes
Thank you for sharing your burdens and stories, it can be hard enough to confide in the closest of friends, let alone to many viewers over the Internet, so thank you for your bravery…
We live in a world where nearly all content creators curate their work to a near perfect t, to only display the best of their lives and to separate themselves from the darker themes of their own works. As a result these works feel distinctly… “less human” to me, and partially why I appreciate your work so much. Your work feels so incredibly human, and it’s so incredibly cathartic and refreshing to hear the epilogues in your videos. It reminds me that on the other side of the screen is another human being like me.
While many would call these kinds of videos an “essay” I would call it a “story”. Not simply an analysis refining meaning or regurgitating fact. But a heartfelt tale which weaves your own resonance with a piece of art into wisdom to impart to the listener in a raw and unmistakably hominem way… it’s like a wonderful reprieve of rain in an otherwise inhospitable desert of artifices and soulless facts and logic.
You are a beautiful soul who’s work continues to give me hope and courage to do the right thing in my own life. Though I may never meet you or ever truly know you, I’ll always continue to believe in you and support you in the ways the digital medium allows me to. Because, to me at least, you deserve support.
I apologize if this comment comes off as overbearing or cringy, but I’d rather lay my feelings and heart bare than hide behind niceties and short winded remarks to avoid ridicule over a medium riddled with the later.
I wish I could do more to show you I appreciate you and care about your well-being, but it’s as you said, sometimes the best (and only) thing you can do is just listen. And I for one will continue to come back and listen to your stories as long as you keep making them. Thank you for another great video my friend
Don't worry about it sounding "cringe" at all, I feel the same way about what I do. I would rather express those parts of who I am in a way which is truly reasonable than hold them in. Thank you for the kind words and support, it helps me to one day believe I could truly write a full story of my own creation to share with others 💙
I literally can't get through one of your videos without crying 😭😭 Thank you for your art, it impacts people (at least me lol) more than you could know
Hearing it called "art" honest hit me so hard in the best way, thank you for that!
@@ProfessorViral It would be a disservice to call it anything else!
Wonderfully
42:03
I know this will likely feel like a hollow comment (I'm too exhausted in similar ways to elaborate) but everything you said, and especially the last few minutes...hit very specifically.
I wish all the people like is with big feelings a better future, even if it sadly has to be in another lifetime or something. 😥
don't worry, it doesn't feel hollow at all. Not everything can or should be a grand statement. Something that sounds like "itll get better" can be fine with the right understanding and meaning behind it
Me too, ProfessorViral :c
i wanna say something meaningful, something comforting, but all i can say is that i understand and i can empathize. They say misery loves company, and while im not entirely sure what the phrase truly means, i know that i enjoy your company whenever i get to watch your videos and hear your stories. It's like, there's still a wound that needs healing, but you're the salve that lessens the pain in the mean time.
Happy Pride, you wonderful being 🥲
However unfortunate, there is some truth to the saying. One of the many cut version of the script spoke about how much easier it is to talk just in general with others who know that kind of pain, because I can be truly open and not have to explain any of it in detail. One of the best changes for me recently in the worst years of my life has been meeting people who know at the very least. And I can only pass that on for others as well, hopefully
@@ProfessorViral i fully believe that the reason therapy has helped me stay somewhat stable through the horrors the 20's have brought upon this world is thanks to the fact that my therapist has gone through hardships similar to my own and wasn't afraid to tell me about it. Despite being in a loving polycule, my partners can't exactly empathize with me on many things due to not having that similar hardship in their lives, so having my therapist to talk to who understands has been a real treasure to me. i almost deleted this first paragraph, but then i decided against it.
As someone who has worked in an environment like the one you described, i really can't think of a better word for the feeling than loneliness. Something that helped me get through the day in that hell-hole was the words "Yes, it sucks, but you get to leave here every day." i don't know if that'll help you at all, but i wanted to say it just in case it does.
Great
I just wanted to drop a comment about that i relate to so much of your content (at least to the ones i've listened to so far). I've been burdened by existance for most of my life, and you touch on topics i don't feel anyone else speaks of. At least from a viewpoint or lived experience i could relate to similarly. Lots of thoughts i've been pondering, and also struggling with some, pretty much daily. And also some novel interesting ideas as well.
Awesome work, keep it on!
I try my best to be as original as possible, and so even though its a shame some of the topics aren't covered much by others, I'm glad I'm able to provide a unique perspective still. Thank you!
Yes
Thank you for reaching out and touching my heart with your words.
To give these emotions room and a body of voiced words reasonates greatly with me as it's able to adress the pain we share.
Feeling alien due to our unique experience still carries a sting.
Developing and evolving helps it get less pungent over time, it still stinks and drives my mind sometimes tho.
Especially in these times hearing of your experiences was like the eye of the storm and soothing rain ensuring.
I don't wanna ramble on and get off track, thank you very much, person who I consider a friend even tho we have never interacted directly.
I'm happy my words are able to be some kind of comfort and source of thought. I'm always very glad you all give me the opportunity to share so much
Wonderfull
That whole ending was incredibly powerful. From a trans gal I felt very seen, I hope that means others saw it too, especially if for them it was new. Thank you for trying to plant seeds of empathy and understanding
These videos are beautiful and give me some great self insight. I recently found your channel and have been addicted to it watching 2 vids a day or so.
Hopefully it hasnt led to too much of a crisis of self haha. Thank you though, I'm glad they seem to be something so positive for you!
These videos always make me cry in the last 10 minutes
❤❤❤your videos are the reason I've not felt stagnated in a while. They make me want better, live better,love better,create better, work better... I appreciate the way your art makes me feel
Thank you so so much, it's so amazing to see I can be a help like that 💙
I watch my best friend die, yesterday, in my arms! And with her last being she pushed into the hand I held softly on her chest with all she that had left.
She was a good dog, and a best friend! And she did good 👍🏻
You should have see it…
Her humanity!
Thank you sharing your story’s!
This video reminds me of her!
Even if the goodbye to your friend was ironic, your presence with them was true! Know that you more than the words need to justify your own existence! We are motion itself!
"Fuxk off, happy pride or some sh*t." 😭👏 Thank you for creating and putting your heart out there for you and for us.
Of course, always happy to
I unironically relate to this so much. As someone who didn’t really look up to anyone throughout life, I still have no idea what I want to do. But I did see the downsides of both of my parents jobs and think “not me”
I love your videos so much
Thank you, I'm glad they keep holding up!
Hey dude, I know my comment is probably gonna get lost in the endless stream of comments on your newer videos so you probably wont see this, but I just want to say that your videos have been some of the most emotionally impactful videos I've ever watched on this platform. As a young trans person myself, I can't lie, I actually have tears in my eyes when you talk about your personal experience. Its not pity either, it's more like solidarity i guess? It feels almost comforting to know that I'm not alone with my personal struggles. And to add on top of all of that emotional impact, your videos are just genuinely really well written and interesting. But I really do think the emotion is what sets you apart from the other video essay creators on this platform. Please keep on doing what you love and know that you have so many people rooting for you who genuinely look forward to things you create. I know. It's not really any comfort to say "there are people who support you" to someone who's struggling, but im being serious. You aren't alone. Sometimes that simple fact of knowing that other people are struggling in similar ways as you can help. Even if just a little bit. Thank you for putting these videos into the world. Genuinely.
I feel for you, but I don't know if there's anything I could say to make things feel better. I could validate your struggle, say I feel the same way sometimes, but is validation enough? It doesn't fix our problems to hear "I understand", and why would you even care about my opinion when I'm just one of a thousand other voices on the internet?
Sometimes I wonder if some lives just can't be fixed. Some people make mistakes that leave them scrambling for the rest of our lives, some have trauma that'll never fully heal, and some will live and die having never answered the question of "why?" However, I find it interesting that despite the overwhelming misery, the constant struggle, and the crushing meaninglessness that's so common in our lives, we still continue to bear our existence. I take comfort in the thought that if humanity had never existed at all, the universe would be pretty boring without us. All things interesting and meaningful would be gone. With no one to observe it, it might as well be filled with nothing, but I believe that a dynamic something is better than absolute nothing. Despite all the evil in the world I would never wish for it to end, and I apply that to life as well: Even a life filled with suffering carries more meaning than eternal nothingness. This is what keeps me going.
The eternal pursuit for meaning is one shared across humanity. But perhaps meaning itself is an emergent property. What if meaning isn't something that we purely define for ourselves, but something that is defined through our relationships and our connection to the story of humanity. Every life is a new experiment, and from the lessons of each one we become a little more enlightened as a species. Would it be better to think of life as one continuous legacy rather than just a beginning and end with no significant consequence? Perhaps we should all strive to become teachers of our own life. After all, if we can impart the lessons of our life onto someone else and make their's better as a result, we leave a piece of our spirit within them. And as we watch them grow to become even better than we imagined, we might live vicariously through them, not with envy, but with joy that because of us, their life was a better one.
It is a nice thought, to leave that connection that occurred with others as the piece of us that continues and validates our meaning. I always struggle with it though because I'm honestly quite selfish and lonely at times. I only have this one life, and I want to experience everything that can be done with it myself while im alive and aware of it, even if I do wish to encourage others as well. I guess thats where I struggle. Is it truly selfish to desire that energy which would be imparted on others for oneself? Is there a world where we can do both, but were simply restricted by ill will right now? It's hard to know if im pushing for myself or for others I suppose
💙 thank you for your videos.
Thank you for this video.
This video is absolutely amazing
these rants, man. 10/10
apparently I have a very specific set of skills haha
$1 patreon tier?? Good work, your video always make me look at things from a new perspective, and I love it. Keep it up.
Love ya man your one of the main reasons I’m here rn
Thank you very much, I'm glad I was able to be helpful in that way : )
your channel is absolutely beautiful
Aww, thank you so much!
this is sublime
another banger video, love the thought provoking content you provide, better than the white noise i usually watch. also seeing views from pittsburgh caught me off guard at the end. kinda like the point you made in the video, living here my whole life makes you numb to the views, but the shots you got made me think "meh.. i guess the burgh is somewhat charming looking" lol
It's one of the few things I like about the city. Small and kind of crappy, but man lights and water look good together at night lol
Ahaha ya it's a shame it looks best when the city's sleeping, would give a whole different vibe if you took vids of Smithfield street during the day x) lmaao.
Love your videos bruv got me binging
An amazing video, I wish I had watched this ten years ago but then again this video didn't exist then.
Thank you! It would be weird if this video existed then, the channel is almost that old, but not quite
Literally just happened to me😭 was talking to this person who was super cool to me, she was super kind and caring and that made me think that she wouldn't ever be able to do anything that would hurt someone. Until i found out that she's purposefully ignoring me🙂
I just wanna say how much these videos mean to me.
Thank you, I'm glad they can be important like that 😁
As an AMAB trans enby, and a long time fan. I see you V, you are you, the you that you've grown into and continue to grow throughout. I'll always see you as a brilliant communicator and an introspective soul. So glad to have you around in whatever form.
Thank you so much. Honestly, brilliant communicator means a lot to hear, as I often feel I struggle so much to truly express myself to others. It's easy to write it all down and edit it, but on the spot it feels near impossible. But I'm glad I'm growing better at it overall, thank you 💙
@@ProfessorViral You've helped me a lot by simply doing as you've done and putting your thoughts out there. I cherish every day we have you on the platform.
Are you going to make something on psycho pass providence trailer its looking really good
Also just curious about what is your educational background
On providence I might, I'm hopeful but what I really love about the series ends with S1 to be honest. My education is engineering (unfortunately). Greatest mistake of my life
I wanted to write something, but it felt to long and personal. (This one is shorter)
My brother is dealing with both sides of your story, as his addiction is how he deals with his pain. And i feel helpless, as im the one he runs to.
I've never really "expessed" myself just because i always become what people needed, because of the chooses he made earlier in life, or just refused to make. I had to become the man he could, not by choice but necessity.
Thus ive never really had a relationship as i was never really was people "wanted", and i could never express how i was. And now i feel like a rock worn to the point of no distinguishing characteristics.
To make long story short, mother has past, and i dont know how handle his feelings of longing to be whole in some way, while he speaks to this mask that ive always worn to a point that i feel that a part of me is missing.
He searches for a warmth that i can't provide because it is missing, and he looks for answers that he can only find by looking inward.
It hurts me because it feels like im watching him slowly kill himself with his addiction, and i can look away cause I'm the one he runs to.
Youare not alone, i like bit rainy and after rain too, when the air is fresh, and maybe i like to feel a tiny bit rain.
Ok best wishes to your friend, and yep, while it gets better, it would be better that some things suck but many will gt bettr and tough, bu many suck too. Why people dont say that.
Ok your friend, still that they stay sobr but, ... youhave any right to hate that . And they, their loss probably but sucks. They sshould know being treated for something outsid their fault. And that transvormation as opposd from drug abusee,
not harm :( , at all. That bloody skirt looks amazing .
I man te overall , duno probably it will get bettr but it maks it no ledss paiful and does not take away the perverse pain done :(
Really, I think thats all people need to do is introduce that kind of realism into their statements. To go from "it will get better" to a much more validating "you shouldn't have to go through this, and it will never take the pain away, but things will change," which is much more affirmative of one's situation
@@ProfessorViral Its would also be more than a common phrase, and show thought and would show people enough that they put thought into it.
Aside of course that. And inviting someone to talk. Or tell something personal.
Aside, i think the, its rough, but it gets easier even. Better than " it gets better".
Maybe the it gets better really is a phrase we as society, need to examine. The more i think about it.
34:25
I despise when people say "it'll get better." It's so empty.
Well, that closing statement was... yeah I know that. I have a person who thinks my whole sexuality is wrong, I even went to the therapy. Pro tip: Don't go. I can still feel the shock even though it is psychosomatic, granted I think it feels really good because I am just a freak like that.
Oh and that person also thinks they mean well, on some level they do but that counts for dick all when they are the source of about twenty-five years of abuse.
Yeah, I feel similar on the idea of them thinking they mean well. In my situation their idea of meaning well really just ended up being emotional manipulation and abuse, and then wondering why I dont seem happy around them
@@ProfessorViral Yeah, that's probably right, almost certainly in fact. I am the alcoholic in my situation and despite being autistic and having rather low empathy and knowing honestly believing that they are driving me to drink I am still never going to tell the person abusing me they are why I started drinking, no that's my fault.
I could blame them, I fully believe they opened that wound and brought the desire to do it on me but I went and got it, I drank it, and I am to blame. I just got as far away from people as I could and went dark for a couple days. I know it is a flaw, I know I am giving in, I have a space to do it and I can just let it win a battle.
But that can not be a habit, I have to get rid of them even if they are my dad, I can not keep it up I will die. Also, you have nice hair, long and short... that was getting too dark.
To me, rain has always been about life, yes the rain can destroy in the form of floods, tsunamis, etc but it mostly represents the giving of that one all giving liquid H20, as much as I dislike the avatar franchise way of water hits the nail on the head " The way of water has no beginning and no end. Our hearts beat in the womb of the world. Water connects all things, life to death, darkness to light. The sea gives and the sea takes" water surrounds us, inside us, it's where we came from and in many ways it's where humanity will end. Rain reminds us of this, the ground, trees, birds, deer all and more beg the earth for rain for new water, new springs, new grass, new life that wouldn't be without that rain. Where fire is humanity's greatest tool and our greatest threat as is water to the earth
To be honest, im quite disconnected from nature, so I don't consider it in that way much. But I can see it being a very moving idea, so maybe I should explore it more
Nature's a difficult thing to get a connection with especially nowadays but in my experience it is the most important thing we can do. It grounds us in a way that is difficult to find. It reminds us of our place what we are that we haven't really escaped. The cycle is much as we have created a large dwelling for ourselves as a society. We can do great things or we can do horrible things in that society. But ultimately we have not escaped nature and being willing to experience it on your own terms. Put you in a mindset that that reminds us that maybe we overthink things a little too much. Maybe the point of life is just being to experience the gift of rain and then to return back to it. That's my take
Might be my element, but yes its really good to connect to nature. Its also a natural relaxing activity. So more important now than ever i guess.
No, i think it was a statement out of malice. I think this person was using you as an excuse to do the drugs they wanted and when they were in pain took it out on you cruelly. What you do and how you change its up to you, and you can't be something you're not forever. This person clearly either a. wasn't really your friend at all and was using you (realizing as you were changing they couldn't use you the same anymore) or b. Taking the pain out on you, making you feel just as bad as they do to make themselves better, or its both. Either way I view it as a really cruel, unnecessary and shitty thing to do to another person (especially one who is trying to help them) regardless of the circumstances.
Apologies if this comes across as abrupt or harsh but you shouldn't judge your life and your perspectives on anyone but yourself and if those around you wont accept you or will blame you simple for being yourself I don't see how you have any responsibly to them. I have been in similar situations so i can understand but I know I'm will not change myself for others regardless of what they want and why (a lesson I learned after having to go through several similar instances). You be yourself, the yourself you know you are and if the friends you have wont (not can't, wont) accept that then they were never really your friends in the first place.
yooo bladerunner
I was glad to watch it again years later and like it much more!
@@ProfessorViral yeah, it sure has its flaws, but I love it all the same
Engagement
Always appreciated!
I cant listen to your videos, im more dead than a real deaf person, not able to receive any message is truly a lonely feeling, closer to not being listened to
Prof..🥺
I don't have magic words that make life better but here's a hug, you got this. (つ✧ω✧)つ
Of course, thank you 💙
do androids dream of electronic sheep which the movie is based on have a lot more to say/tell, sadly blade runner doesn’t fully follow along.
