Recentment he vist al cinema la segona versió del muntatge del director, en versió original, en format digital i en pantalla gran (i vull dir gran de veritat). Sembla mentida però, encara no havia vist l’anterior muntatge del director, i he de dir que a despit de la inestabilitat mental del mateix, la pel·lícula guanya i molt. De fet, tot i no adaptar fidelment (gens ni mica) la novel·la de Phillip K. Dick, amb l’unicorn i sense veu en off Blade Runner arrodoneix el seu significat del tot i multiplica la seva capacitat de suggestió, apropant-se al sentit de l’obra literària. Vaja, que m’ha agradat molt.
I ara, la lletra de la cançó Time what is time que Blind Guardian van dedicar a Blade Runner al seu disc Somewhere far beyond (1992):
When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth
The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It’s your last step
Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell you why
It hurts to know
Aren’t we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again
[Whispering]
These dreams were never mine
It’s cold inside
It’s gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what’s wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He’s asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it’s all a lie
I’ll remember the past life
And I’ll remember time
[Lead: Andre]
What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired
Time what is time
Come lock the door don’t let me in
I am the one your destiny
Time what is time
Reality – it hurts me so
When time is time again
[Solo: Andre]
Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I’m a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I’ll leave but I’m singing
Time what is time
He saw it clearly it’s too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We’ll never know
So don’t take care
Then time is time again
Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever
