Need I Say More? ...Blade Runner is... Blade Runner.

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2017)

Ridley Scott terrified audiences in 1979 with Alien, and then he made them think about their perception on artificial intelligence with 1982's Blade Runner. This masterpiece of scifi cinema brings up questions like: what is real? Is our perception of things true? Is it right to control others? Are our eyes tricking us? And most importantly: what is the difference between man and machine? What happens when there is little difference between the two?
Blade Runner is a stylish and well-written and directed masterpiece of dystopian fiction. Having come out five years after Star Wars, it's a shame that it flopped competing with E.T.; Harrison Ford should have attracted greater audiences because his performance as Deckard is awesome! He's your typical cop in downtime, but once he's contracted to kill 'replicants', he's gonna go full Blade Runner on your ass!
I love this movie. It's super expressive of metropolitan life under the influence of the police, a tech-giant and how the technology around us changes our world in unimaginable ways. What's not to love here? If I met Ridley Scott, I'd want to thank him for this picture and its influence on others: including myself.
