fantastic film

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2005)

The audience's introduction into Deckard's life is so simple yet one of the best I've ever seen. The whole film is so atmospheric as it plays on the standard conventions of neo-noir dragging the audience deeper into this depressing dystopian future of earth. Having read the short story the film was based on, 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep', the film seems to access the lives of the characters to a greater extent. Another important decision made was to cut out all the religious aspect in the book and focus on the main issue raised as to whether or not androids do actually dream. The ending of the film is up in the air open as it is upto the audience to decide what may happen yet its also resolved. Roy's poetic death is the scene i loved most the first time i saw it as its truly a work of genius proving Tyrell's work finally achieved; 'more human than human'.
