Deckard is an Android.

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2002)

I'm going to intentionally make this a short review. Since this movie is a visual movie rather than one with heavy dialog you should really just see this movie. Blade Runner is one of my top five favorite movies that range from Casablanca to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The only way to see Blade Runner is in wide screen on DVD. I also turn on the sub titles to most DVDs because many times actors don't have perfect diction or there is just too much background noise. You would be surprised what you pick up this way. Also ignore all but the Director's Cut version of Blade Runner. Just recently Harrison Ford said that his character Rick Deckard is indeed an android. Even Harrison Ford didn't know until almost twenty years later. I love that kind of trivia. I believe that the unicorn dream is almost the only clue in the movie to Deckard being an android. This movie is dark and almost dreary, yet stunning. I get lost in another realm of fantasy when I see this movie - and I see it often. I won't bore you with superlatives or little nuances that make this a winner. Just see this movie. I even had strong empathy for Rutger Hauer's tight character Roy Batty - the villain. Sean Young as Rachel was never lovelier. You can't stop watching this movie the moment Rick hurts Rachel's feelings. Harrison Ford may have been better, but I can't think of when. And that music by Vangelis - it's a one of a kind, almost brutal score. See this movie.
