Director's Cut It Is

I got confused by the "director's cut". I didn't know if it was part of the title or just something to describe the editing done to the film. As I searched for the movie in the net, I found and downloaded two films with different file title: "Blade Runner" and "Blade Runner: Director's Cut". I found out that the two are somewhat different..so I watched both.

The two films differ by the special effects and that in the latter, the narration was removed and replaced by sequence of dream effects, but the essence is still the same. "Blade Runner: Director's Cut" is a science fiction film with a mix of espionage. It is about the "blade runner"'s mission to kill the "replicants". But then, like as much as other movies, love moves in to the story. The film then shows how the tandem of the couple affects the plot more than themselves. The film presents a moral that is to be noticed by many; we are, not 'should', bounded by our own morality. A part of the film shows an irony on how a rich man was killed; how money couldn't him security, how one thing can't assure everything.

"Blade Runner: Director's Cut" is then another futuristic film of the past. I wonder how script writers, directors, and filmmakers of those times always fancy the future as a plot for their films. Most of the films viewed the future as progressive in terms of technology. Overall, "Blade Runner: Director's Cut" is somewhat better than the former. The creativeness and innovative of the director is seen in the difference of the two. I also love how espionage is blended with science fiction. It is worth the time to watch. :)
