Conclusion
of the future world, with its densely compact,
mean and shabby streets and soaring
technological marvels, took precedence over the
actual story. But it is very rare that an
adaptation of an original novel is ever
expressed in commercial film terms, exactly word
perfect. A director of a commercial film has,
on average, two hours to put across a
comprehensible story of narrative to its
audience. As a mature science fiction film,
Blade Runner is a remarkable success. What
Ridley Scott has captured on film in terms of
designs and sets and atmosphere is quite unique.
