There's none so blind as will not see!

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2002)

Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah and Sean Young are the stars of this 80's masterpiece. The visuals are stunning, the music (by Greek keyboard wizard Vangelis) suits the film perfectly, and the effects (mostly created by Douglas Trumble of "Silent Running" fame) all still stand up very strongly to the test of time.
Bladerunner. A cop who seeks out replicants, artificial humans who have been created for hard and heavy manual labour. They have a limited life span but are forbidden on Earth under penalty of death, and this is the Bladerunners job, to hunt them down and "retire" them.
They are stronger and faster than real humans which makes a Bladerunners job so much more difficult. these replicants have decided they want to live longer and have sought out their creators. People like Choo (who makes eyes), JF Sebastian (who designs replicants) and Eldon Tyrell (the self styled "God of bio mechanics).
this film explores identity, the concept of the self and if we truly know ourselves from our memories.
After the 15th viewing of this classic I finally found what I was looking for! Ridley Scott hides the evidence that Deckard is a replicant in plain sight, right in front of our faces. I must have been an idiot (with an IQ of 118) not to spot what Gaff says in his final scene. "You've done a man's job, sir" Thank you Ridley. I see the light now!
