I was quit when I come in here, Bryant, I'm twice as quit now.
But of course men such as Rick Deckhard (Harrison Ford) never get to quit—even when they no longer believe (if indeed they ever did) in their mission. In Blade Runner, Ridley Scott provides a perfect setting for Ford to carry out his mission of desperation and despair. Though overlong, I do like the director’s cut (actually the first film was too long also) the movie no longer insults the audience’s intelligence by explaining too many things and I find that we don’t know if Deckhard is himself a Repilca very satisfying.
For me much of the film is about what it means to be human—and the new, ambiguous ending does a much better job of asking the question than the previous one.
¡Time is not my master!
