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.

Best used in this prank where a son shows the movie to his mom and edits it so the incinerator scene is the end of the film.That was creative and hilarious. :lol

Obligatory mention:so the apparent reason this very excellent channel hasn't seen a recent update is because its owner went pro. He's got a video essay on a recent Criterion release (Tampopo), with more to come, presumably. Good for him.

I literally rewatch TZ 2 or 3 times a year, adore this show. So many gems that still get me.
Speaking of Sorkin:

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.
