Mine is the Directors Cut precisely because I like the ambiguity.
Admittedly I saw the theatrical one when it came out in the cinema and loved it then, but I was very young. So the narration probably helped me at that age.
Many years later when I saw the Directors Cut I much preferred it. When I watched the theatrical cut again I actively disliked the narration. It didn't leave enough space for the mood and your imagination to develop. But then I tend to like stories that world build through immersion rather than explication.
- chaostheory 3y agoEverything you’ve written bolsters my argument. Sure, with your past experience(s) with BladeRunner you find the cut narration versions of BladeRunner to be more enjoyable, but what about people experiencing the film for the first time? Wait, the theatrical cut is still on sale?
