I am, and have always been, a film enthusiast.
Ever since I was a kid, I've been watching movies. I grew up watching films like Toy Story, Back to the Future, and Star Wars. These movies made me yearn to be a jedi or a time traveler, and I wished I had moving toys and lightsabers. Later on, I will be into books and movies like Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia, and these have fueled my imagination and hopes for the future.
Blade Runner is a film that foretold the future. Set in Los Angeles on November 2019, the movie revolves around police officer, and 'Blade Runner', Rick Deckard, portrayed by Harrison Ford. His job is to hunt down 'replicants', bioengineered beings, and to 'retire' -read kill- them. However, he falls in love with one of the replicants, and he is stuck in quite a predicament.
The movie is extremely imaginative and innovative for 1982. I was impressed with the technology they created in the film. The movie wasn't critically acclaimed, but it managed to gain a mass following and I feel like it was one of the first movies to feature acceptance of bio-engineered beings or robots. Now that artificial intelligence and such are more accepted, I don't think Deckard would be persecuted if he lived in this era.
Very few movies of this generation have the same vision as the writers and directors of Blade Runner, and same as this one, not all of them are recognized by the public.
