Blade Runner (1982)

The best film ever made

[11 July 2013]

I have been a fan of Blade Runner since I saw it as a kid in the late 80's. This film is pure Magic. (Make sure you watch Director's Cut or the Final Cut if you want to view this.) Let me crudely summarize this film: the sets are Awesome, the soundtrack is Divine, the atmosphere is... I don't even have a word for that. It is something unimaginably brilliant. The plot is very complex and deep. It may appear simple for the casual viewer, but there is a LOT going on underneath. If you are an intelligent viewer who likes to think for him/herself then this would be something you would appreciate. Multiple viewings are required to start to understand and theorize the finer, multiple dimensions of the plot.

The acting is very good. (Well Harrison Ford doesn't have a very broad acting range but fortunately he doesn't need a broad range with his character.) The other actors too fill their roles very well. These characters feel natural and flow effortlessly. They feel like real people, just going on in their daily lives.

The antagonists however feel different as it should be. You may feel they lack a part of their soul somehow.

LASTLY A SMALL SPOILER HERE: Somebody in this film says: "You did a Man's job, sir!". Think about what that means. Like I wrote before, this film has multiple dimensions. Multiple viewings and thinking are required.

Excellent viewing for mature audiences with refined tastes

[11 July 2013]

A slowly developing, atmospheric ghost story. Acting was great. The sets were Awesome. The plot was great. Overall the film felt great. What was missing though was a great soundtrack, but overall I just think this film was just great.

This movie is very subtle, slowly developing and intelligent. What this absolutely is not is a cliché ghost movie.

I have no clue why this film has so poor review on IMDb as of 2013, 5.7. Everyone with a mature mind and refined tastes should absolutely appreciate this film. I was actually scared for once. I guess I have seen about 50+ horror movies in my lifetime and most of the time they fail to frighten me.

Good viewing for mature, quiet audiences. Like somebody else already wrote in their review, keep an eye on this director/writer Rodrigo Gudiño. We got a fresh out of school master film maker making his mark on the world here. Keep doing what you're doing Mr. director and next time get a decent soundtrack for your film.
