Wake up... Time to die!!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2004)

I happen to consider this film the best movie of all times. A dramatic sci-fi neo-noir located in 2019 Los Angeles. The movie has an amazing start, an awesome view of the city from a hovercraft, several massive buildings create an overwhelming atmosphere; as if by that they were telling you that men has placed himself as God. Live has no value whatsoever, humans are mass produced by corporations, and due certain problems I'll not be discussing since it would be an spoiler, some of them began uprisings. This led to the creation of special squads, hunter squadrons to solve the problem. Life is no longer a matter of discussion, it has now become a mere product.
!!!Spoìler Ahead!!!
The movie takes us on a journey to finally discover that life is the most precious thing we've got, yet sometimes we've to end someone else's life to survive. Playing God would be the worst nightmare that can happen to us. Batty was not perfect, neither he was monster. He was no different from humans: He had memories, feelings, doubts and fear... a great fear to death. Death would erase him, all that mattered for him in life would disappear when dying. Death is not an escape and ironically sometimes a way to secure life. what the movie is trying to say to me is that no matter how much we try to understand life and tame it, life will never belong to us.
