20. Bladerunner. A futuristic meditation on old subjects: slavery & Christ
Ridley Scott's masterpiece retelling of Philip K. Dick. Amazing visuals. Profoundly moving ending that retells the crucifiction myth. A dark rebuttal to Plato's advise in The Republic about the creation of a race of Guardians. What is to be a superman who confronts mortality?
What is a life? Do we really own our memories?
Everything in the genre thereafter must be compared to it. None have the cinematic inspiration or intellectual integrity to measure up.
