been quite a while since i've seen --
or thought about -- BR, but my
recollection is that after two hours
of --to me -- an unbearably inhuman
mise-en-scene, the moment of nature
and green toward the end came with
a sense of profound relief . . . of
course the discovery, much later, that this
was specious [as it were] and not part
of the original conception of the film
embarrassed me no end . . . still i
have to own up that on first viewing
the fake ending did exactly what it
was calculated to do
Hi,
I'm in the throes of
doing a piece on Blade Runner in which I am characterizing the cult reputation
which grew up around the film in the 80s. In a section in which I need
to point to some cinephiliac moments, I have related one or two of my own
and am looking for a couple more. Can anyone quickly recall a moment which
for them has especial poignancy?
Also, I've come across
mention of Scott Bukatman's Bfi book on BR; is it any good?
Thanks in advance....
Richard
