Great movie, bad book

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2003)

Never try to read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" P. K. Dick was certifiably insane and his death was a mitzva. Admittedly J.K.Rawling has assumed the mantle of "sf" author not connected w/ reality, but Dick is a tuff act to follow.
The movie, however, is completely different. Scott picked out a few themes from the book that were worth exploring -- and explored them very well. Maybe we should start a program where graduate students in creative writing are assigned to mental health inmates (or under the current administration -- the homeless).
Easily one of the best movies ever. It explores issues that will only become more important as the 21st century developes.
