    Poignant death scene ruined by I DON'T KNOW WHY HE SAVED MY LIFE overbearing theatrical cut narration. #ENGH451

    i really love this detective/private eye style narration, and it's interesting how the setting reminds me of the one in neuromancer #engh451

    Also more eye imagery. I think we should have more ankle imagery in scifi. The ankle is truly the window into the sole (ha). #engh451

    #ENGH451 The scene where the Replicant meets Tyrell reminds me of a more creepy version of Frankenstein meeting the Creature.

    First shot of Roy Batty is of his hand. Similar to Frankenstein films? #ENGH451

    #engh451 i'm getting sick of the blatant biblical imagery. they could have at least tried to be subtle with the nails in the hands.

    The fusion of Asian and American cultures seems to be a common occurrence in futurism. #engh451
