Original Film........Possible spoiler

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2002)

This is not going to make me popular but here we go,I prefer the ORIGINAL RELEASED VERSION of "Blade Runner".You have no idea what a relief it is to finally come out of the closet on this,for years a guilty secret,scared to look film buffs in the eyes,in case they saw through me,well the truth is out now.All hopes of Academy ,BAFTA,even the local film club membership gone forever.How could he do this,it's the DIRECTORS CUT,it must be the best,it's got to be,Ridley said so. Well it aint The original version put out with the voice over has more of a flow to it,is not overlong like the directors cut but the biggie is the end.
POSSIBLE SPOILER---mind you if you have not seen this by now--where you been? POSSIBLE SPOILER--for certain for the buffs--but what do you know?---about as much as me,and in passing "Gladiator" was soooo hammy but thats another story. POSSIBLE SPOILER-The end ,after sitting through the darkness of the film,magnificent,brillant but very dark,the soaring over the countryside just before the end credits to that great theme made you realise(almost with shock)the kind of enviroment you had just spent the length of the film in.At the same time a release and yet depressing,as if we the audience had almost experienced that closed in,dark,dank world of the near future. So thats what I think,the director is not always right,given the choice,I would watch the original released version,have watched both many times over the years.As for the film,great acting,the most stunning actress,great scenes and some blonde bloke in the best thing he ever did. If you have not seen it,see it,either version.
