Thanks for your comment. Yeah, the sce...Hey Jade. Thanks for your comment. Yeah, the scene is still very poignant with or without the voiceover. And I think you bring up a valid point that the camera work uses close-ups of Deckard and Roy's faces to emphasize that human and replicant are indistinguishable. And what you have to understand is not that I dislike this version of Blade Runner, but that it is not the movie I grew up watching. I associate the voiceover and the theatrical version of the film with my dad- we watched all these crazy sci-fi films growing up (took me awhile to like them. ;) ) So a removal of those elements is sort of a removal of the past for me I suppose- and I'd rather keep the memories. I'm sure any of us would feel the same way about any film- what if they redid Harry Potter and added/took away from the film? Our generation would be miffed. :)<br /><br />And for future reference, you can include a youtube video by getting the embed code, which is next to the share button under the video.
