MOVIE MAGIC! - Rare Pic of the Day #3

in #photo7 years ago (edited)

Anxiously awaiting next month's anticipated BLADE RUNNER 2049, the sequel to the seminal, sci-fi cult classic BLADE RUNNER. Leading up to the Oct. 6th release, if there's a screening of BR somewhere in Toronto, I'm there. Being a huge fan, I am dedicating the last and first weeks of Sept. and Oct. to drawing characters from BLADE RUNNER, beginning with Deckard and Rachel. Can't hardly wait!

Foremost in the public domain among Phillip K Dick's existential and philosophical Sci-Fi work is Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? , aka Blade Runner. A film far ahead of the curve not just in film effects and story premise, BR is a story of consequences, custodial negligence, abuse, mortality, and giving of purpose to existence, no matter how short or inconsequential it may seem.

A very underrated and misunderstood tale, with a truly remarkable original score/soundscape by Vangellis. This tale only grows in popularity with every passing year, hence the sequel.

It's so good I'm listening to it right now, a kind of cyber film noir. I believe it was a source of inspiration for many composers, and remains so.

Thanks PD.

Yes, there are countless films that have drawn inspiration from Blade Runner's world, but only a handful have come close to creating the feel and ambiance. I can think of two off the top of my head that are uniquely similar but no where near the vicinity of BR's brilliance: Code 46 and Wicked City (anime).

I often listen to the soundtrack to get into a headspace where I'm working in a meditative state. Blade Runner Blues is my song of choice, all day, every day :)
