For
our second spot in this regular film blog I have chosen 'Blade Runner', another
one of my top 10 movies of all time.
Blade
Runner was directed by Ridley Scott, a master of the sci-fi blockbuster who has
just released his latest Alien movie, Prometheus.
As
mentioned before, Ridley Scott was hugely influenced by the work of Stanley
Kubrick on 2001 A Space Odyssey.
This
can be seen in his set designs, where he worked alongside Syd Mead. Syd was
employed as “futurist consultant” and his drawings of the “spinners”
(flying cars) shaped the 25 models utilized on the movie.
The
Architectural landscape is dark and moody and is beautifully complemented by
the soundtrack composed by Vangelis. The atmospheric music definitely deserves
a mention, as it plays a fundamental role in the understanding of this
futuristic version of Los Angeles.
Not
only is it one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, it has one of the
coolest character names in "Rick Deckard", a "blade runner" or a hunter of
replicants, played by Harrison Ford, who was definitely a cooler actor in the
80’s than he is now.
