I respect your opinion, but Ichi the killer isn't exactly Citizen Kane.randomwab wrote:Ichi The Killer in every way is a great film, i would be simply lying to myself if i said it was not a favourite, Kakihara, the lead in the film, is in my opinion, one of the coolest on screen characters ever created, and the ending on the roof top is nothing short os masterful, when Ichi is chasing Kakihara, the camera work and music is so great, i could go on further but i wont, just go see the film, and if i havn't said it befoe, Bubba Ho-Tep is also a favourite of mine

The original also had a voice-over that gave insight into the main character's thoughts, the ending left you with a warm feeling inside and I wasn't the biggest fan of the unicorn dream. I don’t want to start another pointless debate so that’s my final word on the subject.

Indeed it is a matter of taste. But the reason why the original reelase is considered inferior is a matter of taste and style as pointed out.
It is generally regarded as dumbed down because of the inclusion of these voice overs, which were not originally written in and put by the studio afterwards without the screenplayers' aproval or insight. They were a purely commercial aftertought, just as the added ending.

From the mathematical perspective, consciousness might be regarded as a second derivative of sensation.

Aren't there enough mainstream movies that do that?
One of my favorite endings is the one in the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It amazes me that it bothers me so much (just shows you how well done it is), but it wouldn't do that if it was one of those sappy endings where everything is resolved and the day/world is saved. But it is down to personal opinion, as Snatcher said.

Yes, but it's still a nice touch. I almost cried when I heard Deckard's final line: "I didn't know how long we’d have together. who does?"Osiris wrote:Aren't there enough mainstream movies that do that?

Incidentally, I'm looking forward to this:
Blade Runner Final Cut is Coming
Source: Variety - May 26, 2006
Warner Home Video has disentangled the rights issues for Blade Runner to pave the way for a September reissue of the remastered "Director's Cut" version, followed by a theatrical release of a version promised to be truly Ridley Scott's final cut.
Variety says that Warner's rights to Blade Runner lapsed a year ago, but the studio has since negotiated a long-term license. The film, now considered a sci-fi classic, has had a troubled history from the start: When Scott ran overbudget, completion bond guarantors took control of it and made substantial changes before its 1982 theatrical release, adding a voiceover and happy ending. That version was replaced by the much better-received director's cut in 1992, but Scott has long been unhappy with it, complaining that he was rushed and unable to give it proper attention.
The helmer started working on the final cut version in 2000, but that project was shelved by Warner soon after, apparently because the studio couldn't come to terms with Jerry Perenchio over rights issues.
The trade adds that the restored "Director's Cut" will debut on home video in September, and remain on sale for four months only, after which time it will be placed on moratorium.
"Blade Runner: Final Cut" will arrive in 2007 for a limited 25th anniversary theatrical run, followed by a special edition DVD with the three previous versions offered as alternate viewing: Besides the original theatrical version and director's cut, the expanded international theatrical cut will be included. The set will also contain additional bonus materials.
