The case for each
Blade Runner: Ridley Scott's 1982 film from Philip K. Dick's novel: Rick Deckard hunts escaped replicants in a rain-soaked Los Angeles of 2019. A box office disappointment that became the model for cyberpunk, with Rutger Hauer's 'tears in rain' speech.
Blade Runner 2049: Denis Villeneuve's 2017 sequel: a new blade runner, K (Ryan Gosling), uncovers a secret that leads to an older Deckard in the ruins of Las Vegas. Roger Deakins won the Oscar for its cinematography.
