woman4m4 Agreed. My other favorite is the slow-mo shot of Helena Bonham Carter smoking in _Fight Club._ It looked like white silk, floating out of her beautiful mouth like a ghost.
Arundel Mercure that's not strange, people's eyes can have not just melanin within the corneas but also lipochrome in the surface. Lack or absence of melanin makes eyes appear as less dark brown and more towards blue or grey. The presence of lipchrome in some people's eyes creates an additional yellow or amber hue. Eyes that appear green have similar lack of pigment as blue eyes but also a yellow tint from lipochrome. Eyes that are lighter brown can also have an amber tint, etc.
For a 22 year old girl, Sean Young was incredibly attractive yet intimidating in this scene. The casting was spot on. There is an otherworldly quality about her. Like she’s too perfect to be a real human.
The line about the wasp actually hits a little closer for me. Just the way Deckard, who's stated by many to have killed many replicants without care, looks at her like he's actually horrified she'd be so heartless as to kill an insect.
+Brandon Gould I don't think Deckard is as cold as some viewers think he is ... firstly he appreciated Rachel saving his life from getting killed by Leon , promising not to go after her as a debt of gratitude, also when Rachel cried upon hearing that she's a replicant, he regretted telling her the truth by saying he's sorry its a bad joke.. right after he shot Zhora, he showed quite a bit of remorse if you notice when he walks towards her body, he seems to be quite affected the display of pain shown by the replicants he killed ... I think Deckard is also struggling internally with his own profession, thats why he does not seem to gloat or bask in the glory of his hits .. he's alway glum after a kill .. never showing pride at his kill counts ..
Especially in a world, according to Philip K. Dick's book, where literally everything is artificially constructed. Including the frog in the end that is flipped over by Deckard, displaying the battery cover. Natural life form is something that is cherished, so I agree that Deckard's look at Rachel is a very nice touch. This movie is full of moments like that.
I wondering about this questions as well. My thoughts about that are pretty judgemental. First they kill the living shit out of the planet they life on and afterwards, when nearly no life left in existence in this world (except humans), people get hypersensitive about preserving the life they so thoroughly extinguished by war and neglect. All I just thought to myself at that moment I realized this: Isn't it a little bit late for that now? What I especially despised is the answer to the question where a kid kills a bug. You want to bring that kid to a shrink? Why? The kid was curious, it doesn't know anything about wrong and right. In the world before where life was prevalent you wouldn't bother a bit, probably you would even congratulate to his achievement or ask what sort of bug it is or even tell him the species. But no, in this time now and here in this dystopia you live you don't want to accept that you fucked up your planet and instead you push your angst and denial of a miserable world created by your own kind onto your children? Well good luck with that. I know this answer was coming from an non-human but like you said, those questions give us an insight of the society and mindset of the people of and post-post-apocalyptic world. Yeah, pretty judgmental. ;)
d1oftwins also in the Blade Runner PC video game, the main character tells of most of the known animals in their Earth had been wiped out in a 3rd world war, thus making artificial animals like the snake Zhora has and the real animals that survived have become extremely rare
0:04-0:33 Heavenly. This film wouldn't have been as great if it was made in a different time period. This film was destined to be made during a time when Harrison Ford, Vangelis, and Ridley Scott were hot items in the industry. A true masterpiece. Every second of it.
Early 80s retro-futurism. The birth of neo-noir, steampunk (sci-fi like HG Wells), cyberpunk (basically BR's asthetic)... They even had a brief Rockabilly revival ( Fabulous Thunderbirds and the Stray Cats) 1982, 83, 84... Peak of the 80s!
I love that cigarette part. She paused because she had to remember the order of how to do it. Thats what makes this film so great. All the little details put into it, just waiting for the viewer to catch it, be it the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time around.
Chumbersdee I just noticed this detail too! But could it be that she felt obligated to keep her eye on the testing instrument and had to adjust her smoking routines accordingly? Either way, it's a nice touch!
Whoa...I didn’t notice that. I just thought she was nervous. She looked like she _was_ trying to mimic gestures of how humans smoke... She didn’t know she was a Replicant, though, right? From the start? Or was she doubting herself at this point?
Of all of the scenes from this movie (besides Gaff's "You done a man's job" scene), the moment when the window screens came down stuck out to me due to the richness of the scene. The Mesoamerican/Egyptian-styled meeting room (which you are constantly reminded is supposed to be futuristic) transitioning from sunset-bathed warmth to a cozier low light accentuated by slithers of blue light from the blinded windows, all while Vangelis' score ramps up. It's otherworldly.
In a film that has many beautiful moments, there's something about how the scene is lit at 0.19s that is staggeringly beautiful and easily one of best ever committed to film.
I always found that darkening of the room to be a true masterpiece of technology. The music and the atmosphere are just sensational and leave an everlasting feel of emotions on what it offers in the film..
It was an intentional quick shoehorning of the "animal scarcity" plot that was explored much deeper in the book. In the book, she doesn't make such obvious mistakes; no human would kill even a wasp, and that would have ended the interview right there.
I mean wow, 0:25 is magical. Nostalgia about a past i didnt live. Also makes me remember memories of me and friends playing games like Starcraft or n64. It transports me to another world. This movie is pure art and magic. There is NOTHING like this and we are in 2022. We need more Vangelis :(
1:57 you can hear very faintly "bush outside your window, orange body green legs." This led to Deckard and Rachel's next meeting on how her memories aren't hers.
OMG ! Great find. I never understood how he knew about her childhood memories in that scene... We still don't know the exact details, but from this we do know that his extensive questioning revealed to him enough for him to know that her memories were Tirels nieces. Maybe he has already questioned other replicants with the same memories ...
This is probably the most beautiful film ever made. Everything in the frame from the costume, set design and decoration to lighting and camera composition is so detailed and arranged perfectly. The music rises at the perfect moments, and makes ur ears tingle. Even the sound is perfect, like when they speak there is a kind echo that suggests the expansiveness and wealth of Tyrell's palace. People complain that the performances are too 'boring' or aren't very engaging but for me they're so appropriate for the overall feel of the film. The more the I watch this film the more it captivates me.
I’ve actually edited movies with the only the relaxing, soft-spoken parts, turn them into MP3s and listen to them on my iPod to help me sleep. lol This would be a good one too.
They'll never be a machine that actually operates with some 'breathing' movement and the audio echo like Deckards test, its a funny thing dreamt up in the 70's and awesome in that way. I've worked in offices they scan eyes etc, decades after the film
Sean Young was incredible throughout, such a haunting, eternal sadness looming in the background of her portrayal - creating a powerful figure, with minimal dialogue yet maximum impact... Nothing ever came close to it in my opinon. One of the greatest characters I ever had the joy to observe, so beautifully protrayed and will never be forgotten...
This movie is a masterpiece: the synopsis, the plot, the script - and look at the way it's shot, the use of lighting - the light and dark and shadows during the entire scene, and the camera angles. It's so brilliant and original, I love it!
Rachel had to remember the ignite the lighter before putting it in front of the cigarette as if she's just imitating smoking, which is the real *tell* that she's a replicant, not so much the VK
I think, this is the one scene that's not really fully understandable without knowing PDK's novel. In "Do Androids dream..." people believe in "mercerism", they are supposed to show empathy for any living creature (artificial or not). Most people have pets, almost all of them artificial ("electrics sheep"). So presenting a wallet made out of calf skin is truly a serious offence. Replicants before Nexus 6 were therefore easy to spot, they would show no signs of compassion. Rachael is a truly tough case to crack, but even the "mental C" Leon wasn't as easy for Holden as previous models would have been. You don't have to know the novel to enjoy the movie, but for this scene it furthers understanding.
@shithead2415 Animals in the PDK novel are artificial like replicants (well, mostly, not all of them), but they are not "fake". They are certainly not robots. People love their artificial pets just like the real ones. Not showing respect to animals is clear sign for a replicant. Maybe you are thinking of the themes of BR2049 here, but in the original Blade Runner simply are hunted when they (illegally) return to earth. They are supposed to stay in the off-world colonies. They are not hunted, because they are searching for god or for having a soul.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Since replicants are stronger and smarter (well, at least some of them) than humans, they are not allowed to live on earth, only in the "off-world colonies". On earth they would pose a threat to humans.
@@flippert0 Oh I see, but what do they do to the replicants once they're found out? They kill them or just deport them to the other planets? Humans are looking like the bad guys to me here...
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess They kill them. The cops that do that (if you can call them cops) are the eponymous "Blade Runners". Regarding bad guys: the whole movie is a giant shade of moral grey area. It's not that the replicants in the movie are totally innocent either, they killed a lot of people just to get back to earth.
It's always amazing to me how technology always outpaces the imagination, but not in the ways people expect. We have many things that were not imagined in Blade Runner, but of course nothing near replicants. That's really an issue of the rest of the technology in the film not being at the same level, still it amuses me that this extremely rich scientist can build perfect android people but is apparently unable to correct his atrocious vision. Look at those glasses! For God's sake Tyrell, you have a guy who manufactures cybernetic eyes!
***** Thanks for the needlessly rude reply, friend. I meant that typically they dream big about specific things but miss all of the amazing ways that the more mundane parts of life are changed.
LOL but maybe he like his glasses. It's like today, we have contact lenses, laser correction, but some people still use glasses, and someone use glasses even if they don't need them, they just use them purely for fashion.
It could be noted that the Blade Runner universe is what happens when technology develops on a tangent from our own world. We have advanced laser technology that can correct your vision, we have much more advanced computer technology than the 2019 Los Angeles, touch screens, the most important invention since the wheel (Internet). Our society progressed better than theirs, since we still have a planet not completely as environmentally destroyed.
To be fair, I could wear contacts or get corrective surgery, but I like my glasses. I think they suit my face, and they've become part of my identity at this point. Glasses will survive into the future.
Putting aside all the brilliance of writing and acting - the way this scene is shot is nothing short of breathtaking. This is one of the most extravagantly detailed and beautifully lit shots I've ever seen.
I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of them. Best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter.
I think what gives her away is that she answers everything in an almost calculated way. She gives him the answers he wants to hear in an attempt to prove her humanity rather than display both the good and the bad (for instance, the wallet part is a dead giveaway, regardless of whether it's illegal (I'm guessing), if a person is given something that's either hard to find or expensive, they keep it because we're kind of like that).
Actually it's how normal humans would respond in the BR world. The world is almost entirely devoid of animals, hence the artificial owl and snake, which makes people cherish animals so much to the point that something made from an animal product disgusts them. Hell, the original novel is about Deckard getting his wife a real goat.
A real human from the DADOES/Blade Runner universe wouldn't crush a wasp, they'd carefully capture it, put it in a little terrarium and invite their friends over to congratulate them for their good luck.
Did you notice the electronic billboards in the movie? In the year 1982 when this film was made there were no electronic billboards anywhere. Now we see them all over the place. This movie perdicted the future.
See "Fruit Machine" on Wikipedia. I wonder if this machine was based on something like that...notice how she asks if the test is designed to determine if she is a Replicant or a lesbian.
+afarmenian It's not so much the time that she (or it) took but her reaction to "raw oysters" and "boiled dog". Time for a verbal response is just a trick made up by the testers to pressure the subjects, the involuntary response is immediate and any verbal response can take it's time. She probably knew oysters are eaten raw but she didn't show any reponse to boiled dog which, by most standards, is not food. She had the same exact response which showed to things: raw food didn't impress her (a lot of people hate oysters and the fact that they're eaten raw increases that dislike) and she showed no sympathy towards pets, like a dog. She could've faked an answer but she was already lost as to which one.
In the novel, when the functioning of the test is revealed, it's explained that the verbal responses are meaningless. The test measures pupil dilation and other effects of the eye, which cannot be controlled by the mind. Deckard discovers Rachel is a replicant by analyzing her uncontrollable responses to the questions. "Calf skin," "butterfly killing jar," "boiling dog," etc. are part of the questions because in the dystopian world created by Phillip Dick, the characters have a very strong love for animals; most became extinct as a result of nuclear fallout. Rachel's eyes don't show distress quickly enough when harm to animals is mentioned.
I thought her lack of a response meant she was too disturbed by the question, showing she's missing the indifference to cruelty a real human adult would have as a cynical theme of replicants being more human then humans.
I think I finally understand the purpose of this test; it’s to see whether the replicant is capable of answering questions relating to real life scenarios of the mundane human life which, replicants in theory can’t have because they have been bioengineered to simply serve and not actually live a normal human life.
Anyone notice the subliminal message at 2:00, a reference to the spider in Rachael's childhood? This is so when we hear it later we feel like we remember it :D
-It's too bright in here. Interlinked -Do you mind if I smoke? -It won't affect the test... within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked. -Interlinked. -So you ARE a replicant! Ha! Gotcha
The test: checks physiological emotional response. "Do you mind if I smoke?" "It won't affect the test." Shit, in the future, they even broke cigarettes.
I am a white Brazilian of Portuguese origin and I saw this film in the distant year of 1983, in a fantastic cinema that existed at the time in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This film for me was the most impressive in the history of cinema in terms of its aesthetics, the images - all of this film stayed in our retina forever. Deckard on the balcony of a building with a glass of whiskey in hand - after Rachel disappears from her apartment. This interview then, one of the most iconic scenes in cinema - the cigarette smoke contrasting with Sean Young's absurdly handsome face, the sensational music in the background. Images that have never been repeated in the history of cinema. Harrison Ford had the nerve to criticize this film decades later on account of the narration in Off. Stupid - the narration fit perfectly with the story of the film. For me this film is among the top ten films in the history of cinema - easy.
Sean Young é belissima. Como as mais belas do cinema. Infelizmente possui um temperamento muito forte e bateu de frente com diversos diretores. Seu papel em Wall Street aparentemente foi muito reduzido na edição final por conta disso. É o que se comenta...
Actually, the book explained that better, when Deckard confronted the opera singer ( maybe the original Zora ). The way I understood it is that all human like creatures were perceived as human untill proven contrary, so even a Blade Runner would have to have permission to perform such tests ( at least legitimally ). Good BRs were never wrong so when they thaught they spotted a replicant they just went for the shooting.
You're in a delapitated bathroom... you glance in the mirror and see your reflection, your eyes are brown and your teeth are yellow... the water is over flowing from the sinks and onto the floor... you get the urge to use a toilet but notice they are all also over flowing colorful water onto the floor... your shoes are waterlogged and make a squoosh and squeek sound as you take each step... you feel yourself begin to crown and reach to the side noticing there is no more toilet paper on the cardboard roll... someone is banging and pounding on the door... the doorknob jiggles with urgency... you have trouble with your zipper, it is stuck... you have to go so bad your teeth are floating... there is a bug in the corner just out of reach, it is squating there with a newspaper and smoking a roach, when it is done it wipes with the newspaper and uses the roach to burn up what is left over, then starts rolling up its sleeves getting ready to crawl up your butt....
I like that Rachel doesn't upspeak (raising your intonation up at the end of your sentence even when it is not a question but a statement) the way American women do these days....and men too, being influenced by that annoying habit, which makes one sound childish and insecure.
@@caronstout354 What’s worse now is people are doing it in the middle of their sentence. They break it up to up speak a few times as if once wasn’t annoying enough.
"Ohh my gawwwdd... I'd kill it???" "Is this to test whether I'm self-identifying as a replicant, or LBGT+???" If the future of 2019 shown in Blade Runner was seen as 'dystopian' in the early 1980s, it's a good thing they didn't predict the reality it has turned out to be. That would have been really f****ing scary. 🤔
Great clip, thank god you didn't include your own stupid soundtrack!!! this is one of the best films that defined the Scifi Genre for years to come...and this clip is def one of the best, Kudos, I am adding you to Flist :)
@route1box43 She needs to focus at the camera doing the test. She tries to light the cigarette and perceives that the lighter is off. She reacts to it with disdain at the same time she pays attention to that detail. It is ambiguous, her trend. That is why everybody gets fascinated by this simple gesture in this scene. There is a better front shot of same scene on RUclips. Look for "BLADE RUNNER Rachael HQ"
This scene probably has the most mesmerizing cigarette smoke ever filmed.
True
woman4m4 Agreed. My other favorite is the slow-mo shot of Helena Bonham Carter smoking in _Fight Club._ It looked like white silk, floating out of her beautiful mouth like a ghost.
You need to watch basic instinct then. .
@Anton Boludo YES! Show us PROOF!!! (shrugs) lol WTF
Serevine in Skyfall also had a very beautiful exhale while talking with Bond.
"Is this to test wether I'm a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?"
"Both. Answer the question please."
LOL...
If the second part was true, that would’ve made her a lezbot!
Lol they totally should of added that into the movie.
Oooh, I hope she's the latter....😁😁😁❤
Is she really a lesbian lmao? Because I believe she is (since Deckard is trying to make out with her)
I'm here just to ensure that her eyes are green
Thiago Pereira Sean Young's eyes are brown; the stock footage they used for the eye close ups have green eyes.
Brown, sorry
Her pupils have distinct and strange amber glow.
Arundel Mercure that's not strange, people's eyes can have not just melanin within the corneas but also lipochrome in the surface.
Lack or absence of melanin makes eyes appear as less dark brown and more towards blue or grey. The presence of lipchrome in some people's eyes creates an additional yellow or amber hue.
Eyes that appear green have similar lack of pigment as blue eyes but also a yellow tint from lipochrome. Eyes that are lighter brown can also have an amber tint, etc.
Yooo
For a 22 year old girl, Sean Young was incredibly attractive yet intimidating in this scene. The casting was spot on. There is an otherworldly quality about her. Like she’s too perfect to be a real human.
Dread.
Fits her character
She was great in her prime. She has aged like 99 cent store milk and she's a rabid Trumper now. Depressing
She's not nearly as attractive or sexy now - and I know she's in her mid sixties but just sayin' we got a three person a day here!
Dr. Tyrell was the best.
The detail of Rachel's doubt on how to light a cigarette.
Maybe she hesitated because the thought occurred to her "What if I am a replicant!"
she's nervous have you seen Tyrell humiliating her in the prev scene?
rawnukles I always thought of it as an imitation of behavior done as a first try. Like, what goes where? And when?
Just that line about the calf skin wallet suggests so much about the Blade Runner universe
The line about the wasp actually hits a little closer for me. Just the way Deckard, who's stated by many to have killed many replicants without care, looks at her like he's actually horrified she'd be so heartless as to kill an insect.

Rachael is a truly tough case to crack, but even the "mental C" Leon wasn't as easy for Holden as previous models would have been.
You don't have to know the novel to enjoy the movie, but for this scene it furthers understanding.
@shithead2415 Animals in the PDK novel are artificial like replicants (well, mostly, not all of them), but they are not "fake". They are certainly not robots. People love their artificial pets just like the real ones. Not showing respect to animals is clear sign for a replicant. Maybe you are thinking of the themes of BR2049 here, but in the original Blade Runner simply are hunted when they (illegally) return to earth. They are supposed to stay in the off-world colonies. They are not hunted, because they are searching for god or for having a soul.
I'm not familiar with blade runner, why do they keep persecuting these replicants?
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Since replicants are stronger and smarter (well, at least some of them) than humans, they are not allowed to live on earth, only in the "off-world colonies". On earth they would pose a threat to humans.
@@flippert0 Oh I see, but what do they do to the replicants once they're found out? They kill them or just deport them to the other planets? Humans are looking like the bad guys to me here...
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess They kill them. The cops that do that (if you can call them cops) are the eponymous "Blade Runners". Regarding bad guys: the whole movie is a giant shade of moral grey area. It's not that the replicants in the movie are totally innocent either, they killed a lot of people just to get back to earth.

Tyrell.exe has crashed, would you like to reboot the system or send an error report?
“I’m impressed, how many questions does it usually take to spot one?” XD
I mean u Flatus
Can't fool Deckard! He had kicked off his shoes and was running his feet up and down her legs under the table the whole time. No reaction.
Flatus xyuatus
It's always amazing to me how technology always outpaces the imagination, but not in the ways people expect. We have many things that were not imagined in Blade Runner, but of course nothing near replicants. That's really an issue of the rest of the technology in the film not being at the same level, still it amuses me that this extremely rich scientist can build perfect android people but is apparently unable to correct his atrocious vision. Look at those glasses! For God's sake Tyrell, you have a guy who manufactures cybernetic eyes!
***** Thanks for the needlessly rude reply, friend. I meant that typically they dream big about specific things but miss all of the amazing ways that the more mundane parts of life are changed.
LOL but maybe he like his glasses. It's like today, we have contact lenses, laser correction, but some people still use glasses, and someone use glasses even if they don't need them, they just use them purely for fashion.
It could be noted that the Blade Runner universe is what happens when technology develops on a tangent from our own world.
We have advanced laser technology that can correct your vision, we have much more advanced computer technology than the 2019 Los Angeles, touch screens, the most important invention since the wheel (Internet). Our society progressed better than theirs, since we still have a planet not completely as environmentally destroyed.
To be fair, I could wear contacts or get corrective surgery, but I like my glasses. I think they suit my face, and they've become part of my identity at this point. Glasses will survive into the future.
2001 a space odyssey actually predicted tablets, flat screens and sort of ai assistants like siri and alexa.
What an incredible set. Beautifully lit and filmed.
Putting aside all the brilliance of writing and acting - the way this scene is shot is nothing short of breathtaking. This is one of the most extravagantly detailed and beautifully lit shots I've ever seen.
The whole movie is just as beautiful as this, or more ...
Absolutely stunningly lit...
this is basically the only part that the movie kept exactly like the book. stunning, my preferred movie ever.
I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of them. Best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter.

He's attempting to communicate Mr Torrance
My wife was a replicant, but I corrected her.
Sean Young....was so beautiful at the beginning of his career....i loved her.
0:56 GREEN
See how Deckard is hunched-over, so hungover but still doing his job well?
See how Rachael is upright, reacting so sharply to him?
Her eyes look incredible in this scene!
What a work of art. Marvelous film, if I do say so myself.
Sean Young has beautiful eyes.
LOL, That look on Tyrell's face when Rachel asked Deckard that question, LOL.
The future is shoulder pads.
1:51 I like the synchronisation sound of the machine with the way Rachel exhales the smoke.
Every second is art.
I think what gives her away is that she answers everything in an almost calculated way. She gives him the answers he wants to hear in an attempt to prove her humanity rather than display both the good and the bad (for instance, the wallet part is a dead giveaway, regardless of whether it's illegal (I'm guessing), if a person is given something that's either hard to find or expensive, they keep it because we're kind of like that).
Actually it's how normal humans would respond in the BR world. The world is almost entirely devoid of animals, hence the artificial owl and snake, which makes people cherish animals so much to the point that something made from an animal product disgusts them.
Hell, the original novel is about Deckard getting his wife a real goat.
A real human from the DADOES/Blade Runner universe wouldn't crush a wasp, they'd carefully capture it, put it in a little terrarium and invite their friends over to congratulate them for their good luck.
I never paid attention to that before ! That's genius of detail right there.
she's a replicant..
I'm impressed. How many questions does it usually take for you to spot one?
20 or 30--cross-referenced..
It took more than a hundred for Rachael, didn't it?
She's beginning to suspect, I think...
Suspect? How can it not know what it is?
She's a replicant because she didn't react to the last question about the boiled dog which would make any woman squirm!
It's some kind of magic, when electro curtains are sliding down and those looks and sounds make you to nostalgie about the future
Thank you so much, I was looking for this scene
„It’s too bright in here“. Probably the most common sentence on a new Bladerunner set when Cameron saw it first.
Best movie from ridley scott like rachel and deckard♥️♥️♥️♥️
Most of these "questions" aren't questions. They're statements.
Then you write a movie
@@benb9151 If I did, the questions would be actual questions.
Did you notice the electronic billboards in the movie? In the year 1982 when this film was made there were no electronic billboards anywhere. Now we see them all over the place. This movie perdicted the future.
Not true. I saw one in Tokyo in 1981.
yeah, it pr😂dicted it, too
Beautyful scene and music like blade runner forever ♥️♥️♥️♥️
See "Fruit Machine" on Wikipedia. I wonder if this machine was based on something like that...notice how she asks if the test is designed to determine if she is a Replicant or a lesbian.
For the longest time i couldnt understand what gave her away, come to realize it was her not really showing any response to that last question.
+afarmenian It's not so much the time that she (or it) took but her reaction to "raw oysters" and "boiled dog". Time for a verbal response is just a trick made up by the testers to pressure the subjects, the involuntary response is immediate and any verbal response can take it's time. She probably knew oysters are eaten raw but she didn't show any reponse to boiled dog which, by most standards, is not food. She had the same exact response which showed to things: raw food didn't impress her (a lot of people hate oysters and the fact that they're eaten raw increases that dislike) and she showed no sympathy towards pets, like a dog. She could've faked an answer but she was already lost as to which one.
In the novel, when the functioning of the test is revealed, it's explained that the verbal responses are meaningless. The test measures pupil dilation and other effects of the eye, which cannot be controlled by the mind. Deckard discovers Rachel is a replicant by analyzing her uncontrollable responses to the questions. "Calf skin," "butterfly killing jar," "boiling dog," etc. are part of the questions because in the dystopian world created by Phillip Dick, the characters have a very strong love for animals; most became extinct as a result of nuclear fallout. Rachel's eyes don't show distress quickly enough when harm to animals is mentioned.
Chinese are a nation of replicants with low empathy who eat dogs? OMG
I thought her lack of a response meant she was too disturbed by the question, showing she's missing the indifference to cruelty a real human adult would have as a cynical theme of replicants being more human then humans.
@@wneal219 Ohhhhhhh.....
Timeless film 🎥 🎞
Did I say "BOILED DOG"? I meant "HOT DOG" and the oysters are my nutz.
What a cool apartment to live in!
1:55 that transition is so rough and smooth at the same time!
Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dilation, the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil... involuntary dilation of the iris?
1:20 Copper eye motif that appears on all the replicants
I think I finally understand the purpose of this test; it’s to see whether the replicant is capable of answering questions relating to real life scenarios of the mundane human life which, replicants in theory can’t have because they have been bioengineered to simply serve and not actually live a normal human life.
enamorado de Rachel, al momento que deckard la vió sintió lo mismo. tyrell vió la conexion .....
Anyone notice the subliminal message at 2:00, a reference to the spider in Rachael's childhood? This is so when we hear it later we feel like we remember it :D
amzing scene....Sean Young was so attractive ....great movie.....great everything of it
Gorgeous looking movie. Never seen the voice over version and never want to
Doing an english essay, and the quote that I needed was literally 3 seconds before this part. SHIT.
Marvellous Rachel ❤️

This is a love scene at its best...in an eerie post-apocalyptic way.
Dreadfully.

The test: checks physiological emotional response.

Shit, in the future, they even broke cigarettes.
I am a white Brazilian of Portuguese origin and I saw this film in the distant year of 1983, in a fantastic cinema that existed at the time in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This film for me was the most impressive in the history of cinema in terms of its aesthetics, the images - all of this film stayed in our retina forever. Deckard on the balcony of a building with a glass of whiskey in hand - after Rachel disappears from her apartment. This interview then, one of the most iconic scenes in cinema - the cigarette smoke contrasting with Sean Young's absurdly handsome face, the sensational music in the background. Images that have never been repeated in the history of cinema. Harrison Ford had the nerve to criticize this film decades later on account of the narration in Off. Stupid - the narration fit perfectly with the story of the film. For me this film is among the top ten films in the history of cinema - easy.
oh, and she has the sexiest hands ever.

0:51 Just lover her slight hesitation in that scene!
The term "art" is thrown around a lot. This film is that.
I never noticed the spider story, mentioned later in the film, voiced-over around 1:56
None of the "questions" seemed to be questions.
They're not, really. They're designed to provoke an emotional response, if you're human.
Everyone acts in a really weird, dreamy way in this movie.
Sean Young é belissima. Como as mais belas do cinema. Infelizmente possui um temperamento muito forte e bateu de frente com diversos diretores. Seu papel em Wall Street aparentemente foi muito reduzido na edição final por conta disso. É o que se comenta...
harrison ford never getting old
he already looked old in this one lol
I love Sean Young ❤
Comments:
80% OMG THE AESTHETICS I FEEL NOSTALGIC FOR THE FUTURE
20% This was a really good book
If replicants can put their hands in freezing or boiling liquids without harm, wouldn't a tissue sample test be a lot easier?
thesnare100 not all replicants have those physical abilities.
Actually, the book explained that better, when Deckard confronted the opera singer ( maybe the original Zora ). The way I understood it is that all human like creatures were perceived as human untill proven contrary, so even a Blade Runner would have to have permission to perform such tests ( at least legitimally ). Good BRs were never wrong so when they thaught they spotted a replicant they just went for the shooting.
@@callofdutyguy9 all the nexus 6 (and I think later) ones did
“Is this testing whether I’m a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?”
I wasn’t impressed when I first saw this film, but that line made me laugh.
Christ is she ever beautiful. I would go to war and die for her.
You're in a delapitated bathroom... you glance in the mirror and see your reflection, your eyes are brown and your teeth are yellow... the water is over flowing from the sinks and onto the floor... you get the urge to use a toilet but notice they are all also over flowing colorful water onto the floor... your shoes are waterlogged and make a squoosh and squeek sound as you take each step... you feel yourself begin to crown and reach to the side noticing there is no more toilet paper on the cardboard roll... someone is banging and pounding on the door... the doorknob jiggles with urgency... you have trouble with your zipper, it is stuck... you have to go so bad your teeth are floating... there is a bug in the corner just out of reach, it is squating there with a newspaper and smoking a roach, when it is done it wipes with the newspaper and uses the roach to burn up what is left over, then starts rolling up its sleeves getting ready to crawl up your butt....
@haynibabe It's a Dunhill Rollagas lighter she is using.... the spark roller is on the side...
I like that Rachel doesn't upspeak (raising your intonation up at the end of your sentence even when it is not a question but a statement) the way American women do these days....and men too, being influenced by that annoying habit, which makes one sound childish and insecure.
plumeria66 depends where in America you dummy
@Projekt:Kobra Interesting..Upspeak..they do that in Canada I noticed
I have a boss that "upspeaks"..really annoying when you can't tell a statement From a question.
@@caronstout354 What’s worse now is people are doing it in the middle of their sentence. They break it up to up speak a few times as if once wasn’t annoying enough.
"Ohh my gawwwdd... I'd kill it???"
"Is this to test whether I'm self-identifying as a replicant, or LBGT+???"
If the future of 2019 shown in Blade Runner was seen as 'dystopian' in the early 1980s, it's a good thing they didn't predict the reality it has turned out to be. That would have been really f****ing scary. 🤔
Great clip, thank god you didn't include your own stupid soundtrack!!! this is one of the best films that defined the Scifi Genre for years to come...and this clip is def one of the best, Kudos, I am adding you to Flist :)
@route1box43 She needs to focus at the camera doing the test. She tries to light the cigarette and perceives that the lighter is off. She reacts to it with disdain at the same time she pays attention to that detail. It is ambiguous, her trend.
That is why everybody gets fascinated by this simple gesture in this scene.
There is a better front shot of same scene on RUclips. Look for "BLADE RUNNER Rachael HQ"
12 replicants have watched this clip...
What a great film!
The world needs more women like Rachael!
So stylish, elegant and beautiful.
