Blade Runner!!!!!!!1

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2008)

Best Sci Film ever. Love the noir influences as well: the influences of Raymond Chandler and his famous PI Marlowe ( Bogart)..... Deckard being a similarly hard-bitten and morally ambiguous character, making a living amongst the sleaziest dregs of society.
There is even a scene, I recall in which Deckard plays a gawky fool to gain the trust of an incidental character, his mannerisms and voice identical to those of the impressions performed by Bogart in The Big Sleep.
I love Harrison Ford in any film, but Rutger Hauer was the real revelation, a stalwart of b-movies......
Ridley Scott's approach as well, the design, atmosphere, the storytelling.....
Is Deckard a Replicant? I like to think he's human. I think the story works better that way.
I like to see the film as Deckard's journey to becoming truly human by his interactions with the Replicants. Anyway, the man's journey and all that would center around empathy.
I just think that the story works better if Deckard is a human. He begins as a product of his environment. This hellish Los Angeles of 2019. Look at the world he lives in. Both his city, and his apartment. It's a cocoon. He's like everyone else in the city. Cut off, enclosed. He develops empathy, which is part of what makes us human.
This is a beautiful film that I am appreciating more and more as I delve into it.
