Bladerunner (1982 Final Cut)- If we don’t destroy ourselves first, when human beings have the tech to create artificial human beings will they? I think so along with ways to try to transition human to AI. It would be too tempting not to play god. 🤔
The original my opinion:
It’s good, but it’s dark environmentally, so dark, the first time I saw it in a California drive in, I really did not like it. The story is about a guy hunting down 4 rogue Replicants., but it’s more than that, it’s about humanity, what is it to be human? I really like the The Final Cut and Roy Blatty’s soliloquy touches most viewers revealing just how human Replicants are.
Bladerunner: Meaning of the Unicorn dream- Undetermined. It was used at one point to suggest Deckard himself was a replicant, ie a planted memory, and maybe at one time it was planned so, or as a teaser, or as symbolic of Rachel. Bladerunner 2049 disproves Deckard is a replicant. and that Gaff who made the origami figures knew that Racheal was with Deckard. Be basically insinuates it on the rooftop, acknowleging a relationship. It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?

I will admit, this is not the story I expected, but it is the perfect link story, but more is needed. Hence my desire for Bladerunner 3. Here is another example before watching Station Eleven of a brilliant story that I suspect lacks enough action although there is both profound action and story, with a bunch of iconic characters.
Sapper Morton the bug farmer who saw a miracle and just wants to be left alone, the uncaring murder of a newly born Replicant by it’s human megalomaniac owner, while another Replicant Luv (ironic name) murders anyone who represent an obstacle to her master, the former Bladerunner hiding out in Vegas, and most poignant is K the good little Replicant Bladerunner who wants to have been born and finally makes a stand, in a near future world where a corporation acts with impunity, and the police are owned. In this setting there is the secret search for a Replicant who may have been born, not made, and the desire of the police chief not to see “the world broken” by such an event. The cinematography and story are fantastic.
Give me Bladerunner 3!
Will Bladerunner 3 ever happen? The subject of speculation.
On the horizon
A new Amazon series is being planned:
A 'Blade Runner' TV series is in the works at Amazon
A live-action series titled 'Blade Runner 2099,' based on the popular sci-fi franchise, is heading to Amazon.

Fingers crossed they don’t ruin it ….. Imo, typically TV shows based on movie franchises are diminished.
