Obsession as Usual

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I'm fuckin obsessed with Blade Runner. It's been non-stop for a few days between repeating the soundtrack and the film itself. I'm actually watching it at work :O

Something about a dystopian hopeless future, a deadbeat cop, societal persecution, and contemplation on the meaning of existence, totally appeals to me. The fact that there are no heroes, and no villains in this movie I find interesting. It's just a bunch of people who are all set against each other due to circumstances well beyond their control. It's got a very real feeling about it because of this. It's not your typical hero defeats bad guys and gets the girl movie. Not at all. Even the end of the movie is nothing like your typical ending. Lots of things are uncertain and there is nothing resolved, if anything there are just more questions.

When I was finishing and for the year or two after I just got out of high school, I was completely obsessed with Fight Club. I related to the main character a lot. Now it seems my new obsession is Blade Runner, where I also relate to the main character somehow.
