Blade Runner is brutal and ambiguous. This essay on seeing it for the first time: it’s right on. This take is more critical than I was for the first 10 years of loving Blade Runner. At some point I could see that a cop tasked with killing a bunch of people is a really strange…

“Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte.” –Gaff “Lófaszt, nehogy már. Te vagy a Blade.” –Gaff “That gibberish he talked was city speak, gutter talk.
