The pinnacle of quality film making. ( A+ Movie) My Ratings 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2020)

Magic. The stuff books are made of. Palpable, dreamlike, experimental, industrial and just pure magic. When a film is this flawed and yet still floors absolutely everyone with its power to command tone and its ability to influence and yet still stand alone, it's clearly worthy of the praise and the acclaim. There are very few cyberpunk movies and even less good ones. Blade Runner is simply the best one. It's also a work of art and one of the best movies ever made. There are moments where Harrison Ford's Deckard aches with deep sadness, a lost soul himself looking out over the wretchedness that has become of the world, shaking and confused when he buys a bottle of vodka immediately after retiring his 'first' replicant. In these moments it doesn't matter either way if he is a replicant or not, amidst all the more well-known highlights of this classic, these humanising and most overlooked moments are why I love it so deeply.
