Dumbing Down a Movie

A friend at work said that he and his wife watched Blade Runner.  I asked if it was the Director's cut or the movie executive cut.  Movie executive cut?  When this movie was released, the studio did not think people were smart enough to understand what Ridley Scott was trying to do.  So, they added a voice over to explain things and a happy ending.  We all must have happy endings, right?  That's the way life works.  (being sarcastic) See, I am even explaining what I am writing.  If you ever watch this film, watch the director's cut.  You will be rewarded by a thought provoking film.  It may not answer all questions, but does life?  They are setting up a sequel to this great movie.
