Blade Runner

Ridley Scott, have I said enough? The man directed Alien and Gladiator, he knows a thing or two about making a movie. And Blade Runner would lean closest to the Alien side. Futuristic as it may be, Blade Runner is an allegory about mankind. It points out the things we do wrong how what is going to happen, a modern day 1984. Harrison Ford is Rick Deckard, a blade runner, it is his job to hunt down and “retire” all radical replicants. A replicant is a clone almost identical to a human being, except its stronger in everyway except it only has a 4 year lifespan. Roy Batty, played by Rutger Hauer, is the leader of a gang of replicants who don’t want to die, who want to live. They want to be just like people, except their persuasive measures are a big violent and they don’t know how to handle their emotions, because they have none. Blade Runner is a sci-fi movie just as Dune is that is a reflection of our society, not just a movie about cool spaceships and aliens. It’s a story about human nature, love, death and prejudice just as an regular movie is about. Blade Runner is a phenominal movie and I suggest you see it, even if you have no incling to, it’s just a movie you have to see one time or another.
