It never made financial success and the critics were at first very skeptic to this vision of future presented by Ridley Scott. Was that just a misunderstanding, or maybe leak of marketing efforts? For sure cutting the film without director’s knowledge was not very good idea, and that move was repaired after the director’s cut release in2006 (the original movie is from 1982!).

Let’s focus on the director’s point of view. The movie still has this magic that I felt while watching it for the first time. The world is dark and complete, heroes are played great (Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer were just brilliant here). But great acting is just one of elements that made this movie a legend. The whole composition of showing the world, the talks, action starting slowly and brilliant Vangelis music gives this movie some spirit that wants you to watch it all over again and again.

The story is focused on blade runner’s (Harrison Ford) chase after replicant fugitives. He is in a special police unit that is supposed to hunt and kill all replicants that come to earth. A replicant is a kind of artificial human being, made to do the most dangerous and extreme jobs in space. Those replicants are not allowed to come to Earth. But sometimes some of them does. Every replicant has safety catch – they can live only four years. Leader of the small group (Rutger Hauer) wants to visit their creator and force him to make their life longer.

It is not just another action movie. It is full of philosophical reflections about humanity, slavery and justice. What makes you a human? What does it mean to be a human? What makes you think that if you are a human you should have bigger and better rights? This movie is actual and it will be for a long time. Those questions are just few that comes in mind while watching.
