Beautiful as death itself

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2015)

How is this one of the most revolutionary films in cinema history? simple it created the now famous cyberpunk sub-genre that has since sparked tons of movies that borrow heavily from this sub-genre. The most aspect of the movie is in my opinion it's beauty...the way it handles themes like death and the way we all have to face it at some point...how we all are mortal, no matter how strong or weak we are. The death of Ridley Scott's brother was a major inspiration for this movie, if we pay attention we can easily see why. The way Roy looks for a cure and tries his hardest not to lose hope is easily relatable to the way Ridley's brother was looking to cure his cancer. The ending is symbolic and is so convincing because it really is something that came from Ridley's heart...His brother's death and the acceptance he must have had at some point truly shows why Ridley made it seem so real in the movie. The perfect soundtrack that hints the ending since the very beginning, how it changes to not only accompany the scenes but also make them and give them meaning...it's beautiful. Director Ridley Scott made a masterpiece like no other...a movie that doesn't need senseless violence or crazy action sequences to suck you in and never let you go until the movie comes to an end. This isn't just great cinema...this is art and storytelling at its finest. This is a version of the future that slowly seems closer to a reality than just a work of fiction. This is what we might be sooner than later,slaves to technology, slaves to the government, slaves to our dying world, and slaves to those who are born to be slavers...We leave in fear of everything...war, domination, death, but why don't we look at the good part of this world? we might die sooner than later, why not make every last day count?
