BLADE RUNNER - THE MOVIE
[--------------------------

 by DEF KLF and Nethead.


]  Blade runner  is  the movie that  has
]inspired the most the ST scene, that is
]also one of my favorite movie.

 It was released in 82, just around the
boom of Cyberpunk litterature in da'USA
and UK. You can notice this in the film
 It incorporates a lot of elements from
the  Cyberpunk  genre. For  people  who
aren't into Cyberpunk, some of the main
elements  are   a  near  future   where
technology blends with the human mind &
body ; all  computers in the world  are
linked through a  "Matrix"  where Cyber
Cowboys (Guys who connect their head to
a computer)go riding in the"Cyberspace"
(T his would be the next  generation of
hackers and phreakers/Virtual reality )
The  world  is mainly  run by the giant
corporations,like Sony,Atari,Coca Cola.

   Most of the world's governments have
collapsed - Anarchy & Violence  are the
rule,not the exception in the Megaplexe
of the future.Megaplexes are giant city
areas consisting of several cities wich
have grown together. In  the  books the
entire  westcoast  of  U.S.A  is  often
considered a Megaplex.

]Cybertechnology is the technology which
]enables implants of machines in humans,
]be it low-light eyes, razor nails or an
]air  filtration  system. Characters  in
]Cyberpunk stories are mostly psychotic,
]anarchistic , and they have a  "I don't
]give a fuck"-attitude.

 Well,back to Blade Runner.The movie is
directed by Ridley Scott , who also  is
the man behind other great productions,
like "Alien" , "Legend"  and the recent
"Thelma and Louise". All  Ridley  Scott
movies share one important feature.They
always do a strong visual impact !

]  Blade  Runner is  also  dedicated  to
]detail , it's enjoyable just to sit and
]watch all the great work which has been
]done on set decoration, matte paintings
]and props.For example the "Video phone"
]It  looks  just like a  future engineer
]would design it, with a nerd IBM-look ,
]with a tiny number pad which goes Beep!
]when you press the keys. In  the  movie
]it's being used from a downtown bar and
]it have  a grafitti on it !

 The story goes something like this: In
the  late  Nineties technology  takes a
great step forward with the creation of
the "Nexus 6" androids (REPLICANTS!).
 These  are  robots who are superior in
strengh & intelligence to their  makers
( The Tyrell corporation ) and they are
being used off-world for exploring  and
as  working  slaves. After  some  nasty
incidents with violent behaviour , Reps
are declared illegal on earth.

 Special police squads are assigned the
task  of  terminating  them. These  are
called Blade Runners Squads. R. Deckard
( Harrison Ford ) is an unemployed  ex-
cop,ex-blade runner in Los Angeles year
2019.He is being summoned by his former
boss, & told that they need his "magic"
once again... A team of 6 Androids have
escaped from an  Off-world  colony  and
have  been trying to break  in  at  the
Tyrell Corp's headquarters.Deckard must
find out what  they are looking for  at
Tyrell's... This leads  to  a  dramatic
story of chases, fights and moments  of
reflection... 

 Music is done by the famous Greek com-
poser  Vangelis  who  is  known for his
untraditional  style  of   making  film
music  composers who use click codes to
calculat e the rise and fall of  a song
relating  to  the  action  on  screen ,
Vangelis  leans  back and a bsorbs  the
feeling and atmosphere of the film  and
then  makes  the music which  he  feels
will  suit  the movies !  The result is
great,atmospheric music; the sound adds
an extra dimension  to  the  futuristic
action.

]  Probably  because  of  the  different
]advertisements  for  Atari  hide in the
]movie,the movie inspired ST scene. Thus
]the first european alliance of crackers
]were nammed THE BLADE RUNNERS, a little
]german band had called also himself THE
]TYRELL CORP, and everybody heard of the
]REPLICANTS  and  maybe some of you of a
]swapper cammed DECKARD.
