The one that started it all

When talking about the cyberpunk sub genre you will heard Blade Runner being brought to the table cause it the finest example of the sub-genre and also inspired a whole new generation of film maker,game developer and comic book writer to go out and make their own version of Blade Runner like:The Wachowskis with The Matrix,Hideo Kojima with The Metal Gear series and many more.Frankly I'm not a big fan of the movie when I saw it for the first time somewhere in 2016 cause the movie is completely the opposite of what I thought it would be judging by it descendants.It not an action movie in fact it a crime movie that set in a cyberpunk world and is one hell of a slow burn.The look of the movie is a work of art no doubt and I can see how this movie got the cult classic status but just like any person who saw the movie when it came out in 1982 I don't think much about the movie after the first watch and that is my big mistake.Blade Runner got a sequel title Blade Runner 2049 in 2017 and it was so fantastic that I decide to give the original another go in 2018.It sure feels much more better now when I finally appreciate the hard works that being put into the movie and all the set piece not just there to be cool.Roy the replicant who mean to be the villain of the movie turn out to be more human than the main character Deckard when he spared Deckard life despite the death of his friend just to let the so called "Human" know Replicant is not there to be worker or to be order around but capable of sympathy as well.I'm not gonna go in deep analysis about the weird unicorn dream or the debate that Is Deckard a Replicant or not cause this movie need to be view multiple time and I suggest anyone who want to get into the genre do the same
