Summer 1982 Blade Runner Mike Moran

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2000)

when i first saw Blade Runner it was a hot sunny summer afternoon and not knowing much about the film and suspecting it to be a cheesy Harrison Ford adventure a friend and i thought this would be the perfect mindless escape into the air conditioning of a movie theatre at Virginia Beach. Well along time before Deckard and Rachel finally escape the monstrous hell hole of Ridley Scotts vision of LA 2019 i realised BOY!!did i walk into the wrong screening! This dark brooding film is a masterpiece. I have to admit i don't like the directors cut as much as the original cut and unfortunately thats the only one you can seem to find.I did'nt feel my intelligence was mocked by the scroll up after the opening titles" this was'nt called execution this was called retirement" or some such. I love Deckards narration" i don't know why he {Batty} saved me.Maybe at that point he loved life,anyones life..." One of the minut films where music{ Vangelis!! } writing visual effects,and directing come together and well I'll go on and on/signing off now...
