Tales of the Future

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2020)

Blade Runner is one of the most famous and influential science fiction films of all time and one of the most mysterious too. It's a rare film that shows earth in the future as a bleak and dreary wasteland, which is most likely what it will turn out to be. It's also one of those films that reward multiple viewings. It also has, in my opinion, the best synthetic humans in a film. The monologue that Rutger Hauer's character gives towards the end of the film is one of the most moving ever, and it's truthful. How all the moments of your life in the end will be forgotten and lost in time, "like tears in rain".
