Gotta be honest. I never got the hype for Blade Runner. It's okay, I guess. But never understood why people like that scene in particular so much.

It's the "Pinocchio finally becomes a real boy" scene of Blade Runner's neo-noir fairy tale. Roy Batty at the end of his life, staring down as Deckard dangles from a ledge hundreds of feet in the air, finally understands what it means to be human and commits a true act of defiance [against not only his programming and his memories, but even against his own emotions and desires]. In the end he finally understands mortality about the loss associated with that, but by saving Deckard he ensures that the memories of the replicant named Roy Batty will survive a little while longer, in a way achieving the longer life that he'd desperately sought.
And it's really well directed and acted.
I think my reaction to Blade Runner is a consequence of watching the cut with the voice over narration.

not the entire scene and it's in some shithole country language or something but whatever, this was fucking amazing and was the real indication that the movie was going to be creative and serious about doing its fights in legitimate homage while still being wacky comedy parts, this one still just goes up another level because of the dual use of the music on the guzhengThis is one of my favorites for all of the above. The next part of that scene is especially great because of the twist that

I remember smiling ear to ear when I saw this. Its such an odd scene out of context and still kind of weird in context. Fucking Stevie B Postman. I guess its cause he was delivering some destruction.
