Masterpiece, watch ONLY the Directors cut

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2018)

I could go on about a movie that is older than the Matrix and Gattaca and yet touches the question of "What makes a human human?" more convincingly than virtually all movies that came after it.
I'll cut myself short for one message:
WATCH THE DIRECTORS CUT. ONLY.
The initial reception of Blade Runner in its "Theatrical Release" was what it deserved, something around a 7/10. Because it was streamlined for a mass audience upon release, simplified to a detective story. The "Directors Cut" rectified this, thankfully, by adding crucial scenes (unicorn, the "Immortal game" as Tyrell's chess match) in favour of the botched ending for a much more thought-provoking and enigmatic movie. The slightly inferior, "Final Cut" version turned it into more of a modern action movie: Whilst still an enjoyable version to watch, it is a little on the nose, pushing its message forward and lacking the subtlety and precision of the DC. It's also more graphic - which, in this movie, is arguably entirely unnecessary.
In times of AI emulating humans better than ever before, this movie is as relevant as it is still entertaining. Watch it, if you like movies that make you think. It's bloody brilliant.
