8 Filmmakers Who RUINED Their Movies By Explaining Them

7. Ridley Scott - Blade Runner

Ridley Scott's once reviled but now lauded sci-fi classic, Blade Runner, is one of the greatest films of all time. It also gave birth to one of the greatest audience debates of all time, with viewers split right down the middle in regards to whether or not protagonist Deckard (Harrison Ford) was a replicant or human.

Even the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, didn't come down definitively on either interpretation. It's just one of the great movie debates, right up there alongside Inception's "is Leo still in a dream?" and Pulp Fiction's elusive briefcase.

For all that the "is Deckard a replicant?" question has gone down as an immortal movie debate, it wasn't one that Scott himself fancied entertaining. The filmmaker has repeatedly gone on the record to say that the character isn't a human, which begs the question... why make it so ambiguous in the first place?
