Words Like Locusts Flew From Her Fingers

“I’ve Seen Things You People Wouldn’t Believe”

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Scientists vote Blade Runner best sci-fi film of all time: “‘Blade Runner is the best movie ever made,’ said Dr Stephen Minger, stem cell biologist at King’s College London. ‘It was so far ahead of its time and the whole premise of the story – what is it to be human and who are we, where we come from? It’s the age-old questions.’”

See?!? Scientists even say Blade Runner is the best movie ever.

The story and dialog are fantastic, of course, but I think my favorite part of Blade Runner is the cinematography. Every single scene is so beautifully planned and filmed. The framing is perfect. The lighting is perfect. The color and quality of the images are all so…perfect.

If somehow or other you’ve never seen Blade Runner, you must take the time. Try to get the director’s cut. It doesn’t have some of the voice-over stuff that was in the theatrical release and the ending of the director’s cut is ambiguous–as it should be, given the general tone of the movie.

“…All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
