My Favorite Movie

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 1999)

First of all, the visuals and sounds in this movie are breathtaking. Vangelis hits the nail on the head with his futuristic suggestions. God bless synths. , the one shot of the the Tyrell Tower as Deckard approaches is mind-numbing, with it's fiber-optic twinkling windows. That one shot is the greatest single picture I've ever seen in my life. I live in Los Angeles, and I can definitely see this skyline in 30 years. Extremely realistic. Besides fantastic direction, cinematography and production design, the story is pretty straight-foreword yet tackles a huge subject. Who has rights? What is life? How do we determine how something is judged to be alive or not? Directors cut is definitely the best version for this. It seems a bit cheezy and dated, with Rutger Hauer and his dove on the building, but overall it's a haunting, foreboding and beautiful film, my favorite of all time. I'd love to write the sequel for this. >.
