Blade Runner

All those moments will be lost, like tears in rain. Critique what you will about Scott's works, but the way he builds worlds through his set pieces and direction is second only to Peter Jackson's. Having seen Alien (1976) a while back, I've come to love how he situates the stories he tells in his ever-expansive worlds. Blade Runner may lack a certain amount of depth that his story entails; but boy does he make it work. Deckard is plain? That might be exactly the point. Is Deckard and Rachael's relationship all too fleeting and superficial? That's the point. Is Deckard a replicant? Who knows, and what difference does it make? If you feel and experience as a human does. Scott blurs the line between replicants and humans so meaningfully well. In the incredible scale of the world, we (and all that we are and do) eventually become fleeting, despite what we feel. Regardless, our humanity shines through, like Roy's. For a dystopian story, I think that's beautiful.
