Why is the 1982 Blade Runner movie the most iconic movie in history?
Let me remind you that according to the plot we are talking about the distant future - Los Angeles in 2021, where the main character with the name of the French philosopher Descartes works as a replicant hunter. This is the name of robots indistinguishable from humans, who gained self-awareness and went to the guerrillas. At first glance, this is a simple scientific detective story, but the more you watch it, the more it tightens, makes you think about the meaning of life and what makes a person a person in general?
This is a very deep philosophical film. But what is it about? The noir genre is always a story about a man without a future who met a woman without a past. Ridley Scott brings this genre to the absolute and turns it into something completely different. In a cult movie. Combining noir with fiction, he came up with a new genre - cyberpunk
And what does cult mean? Only one thing - the viewer experiences the strongest catharsis and empathy for the main character. This is one time. Two - blade runner is the pinnacle of the development of the genre of fiction. The whole point of fiction is in its "under-censorship" - it ALWAYS shows our reality in a form, but in fantastic scenery, and scenery created for one purpose - to circumvent censorship.
Any state is afraid of fiction, fearing that the secrets of the world in which the characters of the film/ book live may turn out to be the secrets of the world in which the viewer lives, so they are carefully hidden.
