The alternative narration creates the atmosphere of a hard-boiled, Spencer Tracy-like detective film. In the 1982 theatrical version, Harrison Ford had redundant narration that he recorded in a deadpan fashion. In the alternative recording sessions, combined with unused footage, it not only enriches the plot, but also develops the characters. This weekend, I'll try to post two 20-minute secontions on Youtube. It's quite astounding how much the film changes, especially with the deleted scenes. The quest for mortality, the blurring of the line between human and non-human, and many other issues become much more pronounced, plus Deckard takes on a bigger "leading man" role. In some ways, this feels like the film people wished was released in 1982. The DC/Final Cut is cool in its own way, obviously, with its poetic, almosy 2001-like obscureness, but this is more in the line of a detective sort of "Blade Runner: Future Noir".
