  • Visually, Blade Runner is an incredible spectacle of cinematic sci-fi eye-candy. And I have often wondered where the team behind the film found their inspiration. So I set out to find the answers, looking at the costumes, architecture and cultural nods.Join me, as I hopefully answer the question of why it was voted by the Visual Effects Society, as being second only to Star Wars, the most influential visual effects film ever in the history of cinema.
    During my research I found this fantastic company which makes reproductions from several sci-fi classics. Here they have the wall tiles from Deckard's apartment - www.kropserkel.com/BRtiles.htm

    This is by far the most in-depth video on the origins of Blade Runner that I've ever seen. However, given your other videos, I wouldn't expect anything less. Love it!

    This was a very insightful and well edited video essay. I'm sure a lot of work went into it. Well done. Blade Runner is a move I hated as a child and was ambivalent to as an adolescent. But as an adult it (and the sequel) is one of my favorite movies of all time. It seems like the more media literacy I gained, the more I found to love. The best movies are the ones you can spend a lifetime analyzing and still manage to find something new, or at least interesting.

      Thank you kindly @hesthatguy It's definitely one of those films that needs to be seen multiple times to truly appreciate as on first viewing it's just sensory overload.

    Well, from one Dark Side to another... glad I found you. You've earned a new sub. Excellent work. very, very well done. I did part of my thesis in the '90s on this masterpiece of a film, and the novel. 41 years later, we're still debating, and appreciating this work, the glorious Vangelis' score... things haven't been lost in time, like tears in the rain, after all ;)

      The dark side is strong in you @DarkSideofSynth Now you've earned a new sub too! And absolutely Vangelis' score was just sheer genius.

    Star Wars looked cool, but Blade Runner was art.
