Blade Runner

06:25:00

 Tell us the future, we ask now and again the fortune tellers, whom we partially trust, holding our hopes higher than our reason. If The Jetsons' cartoon reality of video conferences, internet schooling, application shopping, and robotic machines doing our kitchen chores came true, other scenarios might also turn into reality. The world consisting of humans and androids is not so difficult to imagine. The world cut to fit your size in terms of your cravings and wildest dreams is a must if we want millions appeased and satisfied. Finally, the world where everything is controlled and regulated, as we tend to colonize what is yet uncolonized and it seems that in time we just make this control stricter. Science, technology, and social rules, however, won't wipe out the inborn need to belong and layers of self-consciousness, posing constant questions about identity. And that will make you rebel regardless of the times you live in. Two films thirty-five years apart, proving that we're not there yet. Let's wait for the year 2049 or another film. Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
