Looking forward to the New Directors Cut, but ...

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2006)

... actually I have to admit that I also love the first one with Harrison Fords Voice Over !
I don't mind the Marlowe-/Chandler-element and I think Ford hits a
"wonderfull clichÃ©-filled worn-out Noir-style",
even if the explanatory commentary was "forced" upon Ford & Ridley Scott (Or not ?).
I think people should see the "pop"-edition before the "Director's Cut" (which is now being re-cut from the beginning by Ridley for release in 2007) because this "voice-over"-edition made a lot of the world realize that ScienceFiction is a way of telling essential stories, though maybe not the so-called cultural "elite" !
And the Directors Cut - 10 years later in 1992 - came too late for the masses; who by now, felt that the story of another successful SciFi-movie-masterpiece *) : "The Lawnmower Man" (becoming the Cyber God) was getting just as close to the human mind and as personal as the PC (Personal Computer)!
*)= Inspired by "Flowers for Algernon"
Of course I adore, love & respect the philosophical dramas of "2001" and "Solaris" laying the path to the moral Startrek-universe as well as the true pop-phenomenon of StarWars; BUT I remember the effect the voice-over-edition (of BladeRunner) had on people. They couldn't shake it of, because this movie embodies what we sci-fi-READERS (and I read almost 100 % of the danish sci-fi-books around 1980) wants all NON-scifians to see :
This genre is about YOU and how the elements of the universe interact with You - understood by knowledge in our minds - but felt strangely as a reality in Your heart.
