Readers' Turn: Discuss Iconic Actors and Their Famous Roles

Karen: All right, here's another chance, if you have some burning subject you want to throw out there, now's the time!

Discuss: Blade Runner

Karen: I saw this film again recently and was struck once more by Rutger Hauer's fine performance, and left thinking again on life, and how very short it is, whether you're a replicant or a human being.

Karen: To some degree the film itself has been overshadowed by all the controversy over the different versions there now are of it - a number of different cuts exist besides the original theatrical one. Regardless, Blade Runner is still considered by many to be one of the best science fiction films ever made. Although I did note upon my recent viewing that we're now only five years away from its "future" setting! Thankfully our world is not quite the cesspool we saw on the screen. 

Karen: I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the film. Mine are decidedly mixed.
