"I think, therefore I am." Descartes' classic line is still relevant in the dystopian future world of Blade Runner (1982).
Despite later technogical advancements in film making, Blade Runner is still the unparalleled cyberpunk film. It is so just by the sheer skills of the people who made it. A somewhat overlooked person, the industrial designer Syd Mead, should be mentioned in particular in shaping its visual style.
In this scene, the Nexus-6 replicants Pris and Roy Batty are in an environment that they were designed for. They are both übermensch androids that beat everything mundane and boring in this world.
I am completely in love with Pris, evrything about her is awesome; her looks, her voice, her personality. She has this duality in her replicant soul that I find very attractive: She is feminine and charming, but she can turn into a vicious slaughterer in the blink of an eye.
Roy Batty is a very cool cyberpunk character; he looks great, talks very well, is exceptionally intelligent and he isn't really a villian, he is just partly a villian. He is the perfect partner for Pris.
Quality doesn't go out of fashion. Blade Runner still stands strong and so does Descartes.
