An impressive and enjoyable sci-fi film

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2019)

As I watched Blade Runner, the movie conveyed senses of mysteriousness, murder, and passionate romance. The movie itself is critically famous for its impressive filmwork, which proves itself throughout the film. With the works of the directors, technology during that time, and the characters, a film in the 80s portrayed similar to a modern 21st century work.
Knowing the movie was filmed in the 80s, where technology was not evolved to film such a work like Blade Runner, I was taken aback with parts of the movie. Due to the futuristic setting, there were flying cars, off the world colonies, and replicants. All the objects within the film were as realistic as possible, with help of lightning adjustment and organization. Often, the film is shown in the dark which adds to the rising mysteriousness aspect of Blade Runner. Light comes in as like from flashlights, just streaks going back and forth. It's similar to what one recognizes of prison and light falling through catching the criminal. Another impressive scene forwards toward the flying cars roaming around the futuristic setting of Los Angeles. Even in modern day, flying cars are way ahead of its time, so how did Blade Runner achieve its advance technology presentation without CGI ? Statues. By taking small objects and filming it close up over a long period accumulated a new insight in the filmmaking industry.
The movie's characters created a suspension of disbelief within the film with its concept of false, implanted memories. The replicants tease apart these memories between the realm of true and false. To be who you are, you have body and possessions, but what happens when they're all taken away; you're left with memories. But what if the last thing you have is also fake? When Deckard described Rachel's memories, they were not her own, but Tyrell's niece. Replicants have escaped from off world colonies and right there it portrays an alien-like world with beings other than humans. Violence with the death and fighting scenes between Deckard and the replicants, two scenes hold significant to the movie as a work overall. Deckard's chase after Zhora accordingly should've took less time than what was filmed, but the whole chase was put on slow motion creating a suspending moment. Zhora falls through multiple screens of glass showing detail along with the creeping music adding onto the climax where she's shot and falls to her death. Another scene is the ending between Deckard and Roy. The never ending rain and as previously said, the darkness and broken light rays by itself created a tension between the characters. Rutger Hauer portrayed Roy well, the inhumane movements, and ghastly sounds of a revengeful replicant.
This film was enjoyable to watch despite the time it was made in because it felt very ahead of its time, or perhaps the film defied time itself. It was confusing at certain points to understand more deeply on a futuristic level as it confused me with modern day beings. Blade Runner proved impressive with its filming technique for its realistic flying cars and ships. To imagine that it was all shot from a mini toy really surprises me, similar to the film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Blade Runner ended well with its continuing mysteriousness of whether if Deckard is a replicant or not.
