People actually said he was 'too visual'? Fuck off, it's a film, it's meant to look good which Blade Runner certainly does. I think it's one of the most gorgeous looking (and sounding) films ever made.
Sigh. Maybe if they stopped thinking about saving money they might actually create a masterpiece. I rarely watch movies now BECAUSE movies are like junk food. They dont care anymore - they just churn out rubbish and a little BRAINWASHING into the mix to trick people into thinking its good when in actual fact its trash.
That's because tyrell is supposed to be god, and Batty is Lucifer, the "Light bearer". The movie was a freemasonic Luciferian allegory about the murder of god in the fifth age
Well, the fly-by shots of the city aren't amazing, but everything else is absolutely stellar and I'd choose it over modern movie production any day. It shows that technology/CGI is not a substitute for talent and passion.
@@innosanto I agree. There's very little to find fault with in Blade Runner, if anything. Furthermore, it's a 1982 film, so, given the visuals for its time, it's nothing short of stunning.
I have artificial lenses in both eyes and when I go to the dentist or another doctor and they shine in the eyes, a strong flare can be seen. It is fear and after a while the question is what it is. I always say, "Have you seen Blade Runner?"
I literally love Ridley Scott when he talks about films. He’s so in love with making them he’s confident of his ability but never arrogant and I feel just tells you very simply about the small levels of trickery that make up a full length motion picture.
Officially, we only know of perhaps half the music he created for this movie. Unofficially (through bootlegs), maybe closer to 75%. Knowing how prolific Vangelis is when he gets into it, I think there's probably more.
There's a 29th anniversary edition of the Blade Runner soundtrack which is the most complete version, this supercedes the already brilliant 3CD 25th anniversary edition release 👌
I enjoyed this video until the ridiculously oversized box appeared in the final 30 seconds showing which video was up next. How the hell do you turn this off?
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." my favorite line of all time.
Listening to Mr. Scott describe how they solved the challenge of putting that subtle light in the eyes of the replicant characters in the "pre-digital" era was just fascinating! and such a wonderfully subtle and effective end result. The tiniest of details that went into making this great, classic film.
Blade Runner is and has always been my all time favorite film, without question. But, I still love seeing videos like this that illuminate the tricks and clever ideas that made this film the cinematic masterpiece it is. No digital short cuts. No green screen. Only miniatures and practical effects and it still looks better than 99% of every film made since.
Blade runner is a totally unique and brilliant movie. Everything about it is world class. They really don't make them like this anymore. My own favourite scene is the meeting between Daryl Hannah and the guy with the ageing disease... The way he gradually realised she was a killer, and her sensing his mounting fear as he tried to conceal it.. Brilliant.
yes, interesting to learn that they were inspired by the breathtakingly beautiful Lamarr, since her contribution as a scientist to the future development of WIFI technology make her also a techno reference!
Ridley Scott has such amazing range. Alien to Blade Runner to Gladiator to Thelma and Louise and more. It blows me away that he has never won an Oscar.
I love how Scott is always so forthcoming in interviews and videos like this...always gives so much detail...the technical talk he gives here about how they achieved the replicant-eyes effect is fantastic.
Brilliant movie ! Never gets old and looks better than most modern movies. This masterpiece still gets talked about while too many recent movies just fade away ...
Ridley is a stone cold GENIUS. You can see it in all his films. I remember I met Joe Turkel, the man who played 'Tyrell' the creator of the replicants in the movie, at a hot dog joint in LA one afternoon. I kept staring at him, thinking, "Where have I seen this guy before??" His facial features were so unique. Then I realized that without the thick glasses he wore in the film was the reason I couldn't put it together. I walked up to him and asked to be sure, and he was the most friendly and terrific guy you can imagine, nothing like the character you see on the screen. But that's what good acting is all about, right?
Saw the movie the other day in the cinema for the first time, it's a godly experience, the sound, the visuals, the feels,it's all glorious. So much character, amazing.
I saw it for the first time when I was at school in the 80's. Entranced is the word I'd use too. The whole movie is filmed in a gloom. So many inky dark shadows. Perfectly portrays the whole sense of decay and the 'twilight' of humanity. Cinematically it's one of the most striking films ever.
Makes sense because Tyrell is a gnostic Demiurge who gets killed by his own "son" who destroys his eyes. Very symbolic. It has a little-bit of an Egyptian (masonic) touch, as well as something from greek mythology. The movie also could have been called "Prometheus".
The arquitecture of Franklin Lloyd Wright is another carachter in the movie, in my opinion. It gives a sensation of strange but cool to the ambient and also futuristic but old, if that makes any sense. :)
I love this film so much it still gives me goosebumps. There aren't many films that have that lasting of an impression, at least not to me. This clip was satisfying.
I had a colleague complain to me how, in his opinion, Blade Runner 2049 was an awful sequel. The original was all action and vampires, and the sequel was super slow and boring. :-D
What made Blade Runner a game changer was a vision of scifi that was not new, but dark and old. It's influence on the look of films over the following 2 decades is immense.
I cannot think of any movie that can compete with this movie if you gave me a year. Beautiful soundtrack, Rachel, and the scenery, and not forgetting the acting. This is one of the greatest movies ever.
I’d have to say that this was the first movie I’ve ever watched that I immediately liked. I also think it was the first time that I’ve thought that the first time I watched the film was the best time. I’ve watched it countless times, and I always find something different each time I watch it
Legend was magnificent. And so underrated. I think the fairytale genre is considered something for children and that's why many Ridley fans don't watch the movie as much as Blade Runner or Alien.
So much of this movie is just such a beautiful painting in light and detail, it was very insightful to hear him talk about a few of the best lighting tricks and who came up with them. I don't think I've ever heard that explanation of the eye-glint before, but there are so many little subtleties like that throughout.
ridley scott is so well spoken and knows what he's doing. he's just an amazing director overall. full of talent and still directing great films. he's awesome.
I've accidentally done it to my dog's eyes when taking a picture of her, lol. I'm sure you've seen that effect before of the light reflecting back into the camera lens off someone's eyes ;)
The fact that Blade Runner is still commonly talked about nearly 40 years after its release is a testament to its brilliance as a film. It surprised me that Ridley Scott considered this his favorite scene, because not knowing this, I've long considered this to be one of the top 5 movie scenes of all time. And again to its credit, I've also thought the "Tears in Rain" scene to be among my top 5 as well.
It's so funny that as this started & Ridley Scott is about to talk about his favorite scene in Blade Runner, I thought of that particular scene before he said it. It always stands out, the lighting, the room, the interaction, it's amazing.
At 79 years old Ridley is sharp as ever! I just wish he could leave behind Alien and focus on more films like Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven and Martian. I'd like to see that Battle of Britain film and Wraiths of the Broken Land that he was supposed to direct. Maybe some fantasy or original sci fi films, his attention to detail is superb, he just needs a good script.
I don't think he should ever make another Gladiator or Kingdom of Heaven... KoH which i personally hated. I'd be really interested if he made another film like Matchstick Men.. Which i'd say is one of his most underrated films. Its really really good. Ebert gave it 4 out of 4.
"Too visual" is a critic to do if the story is weak and then overpowered by the style, not like here while the storyline become partly abstract,eerie and mysterious,it is still very solid and present.
That backdrop with the silhouette of the tower taking a wedge out of the setting sun - many others have tried to copy this, all have fallen far short in comparison.
I just watched the 3.5 hour Blade Runner documentary on the "The Final Cut" DVD, and I was hoping to see how this "replicant eye" technique worked. They didn't even mention it! And they talked on and on about special effects, it was so weird. So I guess thank you very much for this clip...
Blade Runner is a unique and timeless masterpiece - a film to watch over and over again, each time discovering some new angle, level, shade or subtlety you hadn't previously perceived.
One of the very few films I can watch over and over... such a great film, timeless.. “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die” RIP Roy
When Blade Runner came out it wasn’t getting much acclaim. I remember my dad getting it as a VHS rental which we did every Saturday. It was considered just another Sci-Fi film at the time and there were so many. Most of these 80’s Sci-Fi films didn’t stand the test of time. I thought it was a great film but it took at least a decade before people started to appreciate what an amazing film this was. Now it’s talked about as one of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time.
"How can I be too visual" I just agree so damn much with this, THe phrase "style over substance" is used so much an so lightly, with the right execution the style can be the substance as well, the lighting, production design, cinematography, composition, score everything can be its own rich comunication language that can evoke all sorts of emotions from the viewers, it's a shame that most people can't appreciate this at all...
This guy is one of my all time favorite directors. There are a bunch of others I really like too - but he is one of them. Just Brilliant. I think The Duelists is the first of his films I ever saw. .
Sean Young was treated very badly by the film industry. Did he mention her name in this ? Was she physically in that new Bladerunner film ? there are lots and lots of people who can say "me too"
People actually said he was 'too visual'? Fuck off, it's a film, it's meant to look good which Blade Runner certainly does. I think it's one of the most gorgeous looking (and sounding) films ever made.
Yep
I think what people who complain about this want is somebody in the movie explaining everything in the dialogue.
Sigh. Maybe if they stopped thinking about saving money they might actually create a masterpiece.
I rarely watch movies now BECAUSE movies are like junk food.
They dont care anymore - they just churn out rubbish and a little BRAINWASHING into the mix to trick people into thinking its good when in actual fact its trash.
@@johnnyclean8233 Have you watched more than just Marvel films or are you just saying that because it's popular to hate on the modern film industry?

Nobody can make a movie now that looks this good. It’s technically possible, but they can’t actually do it.
The Replicant eyes part was genius.
Yeah too bad it took Scott 20 years to invent an explanation for it.
I have artificial lenses in both eyes and when I go to the dentist or another doctor and they shine in the eyes, a strong flare can be seen. It is fear and after a while the question is what it is. I always say, "Have you seen Blade Runner?"

I literally love Ridley Scott when he talks about films. He’s so in love with making them he’s confident of his ability but never arrogant and I feel just tells you very simply about the small levels of trickery that make up a full length motion picture.
I am sixteen and Bladerunner fundamentally changed my way of looking at the medium.
And not forgetting the fantastic soundtrack by “Vangelis”😎👍👍
Amen.
I agree my brother.
Would have been neat to see tangerine dream try a score at blade runner.
Officially, we only know of perhaps half the music he created for this movie. Unofficially (through bootlegs), maybe closer to 75%. Knowing how prolific Vangelis is when he gets into it, I think there's probably more.
There's a 29th anniversary edition of the Blade Runner soundtrack which is the most complete version, this supercedes the already brilliant 3CD 25th anniversary edition release 👌

I actually put on his audio commentaries (usually Blade Runner or Alien) as background to fall asleep to sometimes.
Great editing WIRED... Putting a box over the his face when they discuss the glasses.
Good pickup. That was truly amateur hour.

Now one of my favorites
Definitely one of my favorite scenes and I love that Vangelis used this scene to intro his song "Blush Response".
Love the light in this scene.
It's my favourite movie, so beautiful and timeless.
You may enjoy the film Gattaca starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
@@williamfoy599 Just watched Gattaca over the weekend. Incredible film, good on you for recommending it.
So glad he mentioned Hedy Lamarr as the inspiration for Rachel. Sean Young & Hedy Lamarr are SPECTACULAR. 😍
L Kassim Totally agree. Rachel looks beautiful and “perfect.” Didn’t know Lamarr was just as attractive.
yes, interesting to learn that they were inspired by the breathtakingly beautiful Lamarr, since her contribution as a scientist to the future development of WIFI technology make her also a techno reference!
Both fab-looking ladies, but Sean Young as Rachel wins by some distance for me.
hedy in her heyday 🤤 hubba hubba .....
Ruth Wilson’s interpretation of Mrs. Coulter in His Dark Materials is heavily influenced by Hedy Lamarr✅✅✅
I think Scott uses shadow and darkness the way Kubrik used light.
Legend and Blade Runner share a great deal.
care to elaborate?
Ridley Scott has such amazing range. Alien to Blade Runner to Gladiator to Thelma and Louise and more. It blows me away that he has never won an Oscar.

Well, you don't get regular Oscars for having range. Maybe they'll drop a lifetime on him.

All those memories will be lost, like tears in rain. - the late Rutger Hauer. Can't imagine "Blade Runner" without him.

That look was based upon Hedy Lamarr who was ravishing.
@@wildbill47304: Hedy was indeed more beautiful.
@@ottomellar6774 Hedy Lamarr was indeed beautiful, yes...but more so than Sean Young in Blade Runner? Definitely not for my money.
My favorite movie of all time! I've set it well over one hundred times and it never gets old.
I always liked that scene very much, very classy people and place. The room dims as if magic.
It's to display Tyrell's godlike control through his technology, even able to dim the sun at will... at least that's what I've read, lol.
Makes sense because Tyrell is a gnostic Demiurge who gets killed by his own "son" who destroys his eyes. Very symbolic. It has a little-bit of an Egyptian (masonic) touch, as well as something from greek mythology. The movie also could have been called "Prometheus".
The arquitecture of Franklin Lloyd Wright is another carachter in the movie, in my opinion. It gives a sensation of strange but cool to the ambient and also futuristic but old, if that makes any sense. :)
Hands down my favourite film, blew me away back then and still does to this day. Nothing like it before or after
That's what I've always thought, too. NOTHING eclipses Blade Runner.
Ridley Scott one of the many masters of visuals.
WulfCry And hes atheist
He is a visual GENIUS.
If not for Syd Mead there would've been no visuals.
Damn Sean young was beautiful in this film!
and in the movie "Dune" she was perfect

a truly timeless, otherworldly scene, a diamond of cinema
In 80's this guy was a genius (Alien, Blade Runner, Legend)
Legend was magnificent. And so underrated. I think the fairytale genre is considered something for children and that's why many Ridley fans don't watch the movie as much as Blade Runner or Alien.
Domino Godbane hes still a genius when it comes to visuals and sets, very few come close.
Alien wasn't the 80's.
alien is 79 i think or so
So much of this movie is just such a beautiful painting in light and detail, it was very insightful to hear him talk about a few of the best lighting tricks and who came up with them. I don't think I've ever heard that explanation of the eye-glint before, but there are so many little subtleties like that throughout.
Highest reverence for the filmmaking, story, acting, directing, cinematography, matting, soundtrack and people who recognize its timeless greatness.
Yeah but it was a flop as it came out. It's strange but Nowdays people appreciate it way more.

what, no way
He also almost did Dune...
Looks pretty damn good for his age as well, wonder what his secret is
I don't think he should ever make another Gladiator or Kingdom of Heaven... KoH which i personally hated.
I'd be really interested if he made another film like Matchstick Men.. Which i'd say is one of his most underrated films. Its really really good. Ebert gave it 4 out of 4.

Blade runner is the greatest movie ever made
Yep way better than any of toay's CGI flicks. I have Peter n the wolf as my notification sound too👍
2049 is better

Most beautiful cinematographic scene in modern cinema! It will never be topped.
I can tell you my least favorite: Deckard posing as a news reporter 😂
Yeah, Ford doing a weird voice character did not go over well in BR. I guess they were trying to get some of the SW magic in there.
@@charlie-obrienYeah, definitely trying to bring “jokes” into a very dark film
This guy is one of my all time favorite directors. There are a bunch of others I really like too - but he is one of them. Just Brilliant. I think The Duelists is the first of his films I ever saw.

Sean Young was treated very badly by the film industry.
Did he mention her name in this ?
Was she physically in that new Bladerunner film ?
there are lots and lots of people who can say "me too"
This makes me want to watch it again. What a classic.
Great insight from Scott 👍
Love Bladerunner. I had to watch it twice to begin to appreciate its many messages.
