Read the book. Deckard isn't "the best" or even that competent. Like all PKD protagonists, he's flawed as hell and actually a piece of shit.

His importance in the movie, and the chief sucking him off, is because he's a replicant and the chief is part of the plan or paid off by Tyrell Corp.

Also yeah I know Ford is in the new one, indicating he is not a replicant. But the Final Cut, Ridley Scott's ultimate vision, heavily implies he was meant to be.

>>71288175

You could probably provide a really good explanation as to why he was such a dull on screen presence, wouldn't change my opinion.It's a fine afterthought, but it doesn't make for a good film.

They also should've cast someone different if that's what they were going for. Getting Harrison Ford to play a betamax is stupid imo

That's a shallow complaint and you know it. Practically EVERY old futuristic sci-fi movie has outdated monitors. If they trigger your autism then you shouldn't watch any futuristic sci-fi that was made in the 20th century.

It was made in 1982, they thought that by 2019 we would be living in a cyberpunk shithole. Complaining "THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT THE FUTURE!" is childish.

>>71290483
In the book people like Deckard because he reacts to his situations logically.

in the movie, he reacts slowly, Harrison Ford obviously hates the script, he doesn't use the Nexus-6 test regularly, he is a generally unlikeable character compared to his book counterpart.

hell even deckard is too boring for roy baty so he just says fuck it and turns himself off like a faggot

It's not that complicated. Frank woke up Donnie which caused a new timeline to be created and the whole universe started to self destruct because that timeline was a paradox, so Donnie went back in time and stayed in bed.

heads up. a film is not boring. when a viewer opines that a film is boring, it's more telling about the viewer than the film. same as when a person dislikes a movie. some people dislike The Godfather. just dropping some knowledge on you ignorant fucks who think every opinion your fuckwit cockwobbled brain churns out is fact.

I enjoyed it even though it took watching a 20 minute explanation on YouTube afterwards. Personally I thought it was cooler when I was wrong and thought Frank was the time traveler manipulating Donnie to set things right (until I noticed how wrong that theory was because of a couple scenes).

I love Blade Runner and the book it's based on, but you're doing a horrible job defending it. The film and the book are not the same, and PKD actually wouldn't let them use the original script because it followed the book exactly. He only gave his approval once the film became its own entity and he loved the working version he saw before he died.
Deckard in the book is a heartless individual because leading a normal life and fitting in is what makes him human. It's ironic because following social norms makes humans more robotic than the androids who are murdered for wanting to live. Deckard in the book is the protagonist, but not the hero.
Deckard in the film is a much better person. The reason his presence is often icy is to perpetuate the mystery of whether he is human or replicant, which was only briefly mentioned and resolved in the book. Making this mystery an integral part of the story meant Deckard had to act more inhumane at times so he contradicts himself. The question is now whether the flawed creature is "real" or not.

Often the greatest films based on novels are the ones that deviate and set their own rules. Straight translations exist only for milking plebs.
>>
>>71290829

So why did Frank wake up Donnie? I'm unsure of it had a specific meaning or if it was just meant to be lolrandumb, which is fine, I just don't know.
Also why would he randomly go back in time

I used this video (it's very long; sorry). Apparently there is a ton of stuff from the original cut that was removed from the theatrical that explains how time travel works in the film. If you want to figure it out for yourself WITHOUT the director's cut, the special features on the theatrical DVD has scans from The Philosophy of Time Travel that you can piece together and relate to the film.

Why is this movie considered to be so great again?
>>
>>71291314
It's the first film to do what it did and also be hugely popular.

plus it was cool.

Still holds up to this day as well.
>>
>>71291363
>the first film to do what it did

What did it do that no other film had done before?

There are tons of way "cooler movies" than pulp fiction.

What do you mean it holds up? It came out like 20 years ago why the hell wouldn't it hold up? It's not an effects driven film, so saying that it's til holds up isn't really any achievement.
>>
>>71291461
It's the first to do it AND be popular. Read my post. It was a big hit with people, it came out at the perfect time. basically the Nirvana of film, without the shotgun to the head.

Subjective.

Dialog and editing and pacing all hold up very well. Good sets, props, and overall a well made and entertaining film. It aged like wine.

And that's not a good argument for the film because your basically just saying its an unoriginal rip-off that just got more popular than the original. Which is what it is, it's also watered down so general audiences can enjoy it.

Same could be said for you when you said it was "cool"

It's only been 20 years why wouldn't the pacing editing and dialogue hold up? That's not impressive or worth mentioning.

Go to Beijing or Shanghai. It looks terrifyingly like what you see in Blade Runner. Crowded cities, heavy industry, pollution destroying every single piece of nature, smog so think you literally can't see past your hand, asian ladies on giant billboards, etc.

The only thing they haven't got is flying cars.

Just look at Shangai, 1980 vs 2010. 30 years and it's basically went from quaint Chinese port to a fucking cyberpunk theme park.

Completely agree, i was going into it expecting great things but came out feeling a bit empty.

Sure, the "tears in rain" part was good and some of the visual design was great but it's a hollow experience for me. Ford delivers a flat, boring performance(which you might say was the point but it's still boring to watch him). The soundrack was borderline god awful, archaic 80's yamaha synthesizers that sound harsh and underwhelming, the soundtract deserved more variety.

It's not a bad movie, and it's certainly one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made, but that's a fairly short list because most sci-fi films are garbage by default
