Blade Runner

One of my favorire sci-fi films. Ridley Scott directed this futuristic saga starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, and Daryl Hannah.

Looks into the question we all have: how long will I exist?

Ford, a Blade Runner, is assigned to kill replicants who have returned to Earth to meet their maker. Who is human, who is not? What makes us human? Why are we here? Raises the big issues is an intentionally slow paced film that is a marvel visually.

Impressive and impressionistic.

At Play in the Fields of the Lord

1991 drama directed by Hector Babenco and starring Tom Berenger, Tom Waites, Aiden Quinn, John Lithgow, and Daryl Hannah.

A long film, seemingly too long after a while, but still powerful. Pilot and buddy become involved with two sets of missionaries in the South American rain forest. All involved affect the lives of an innocent tribe - not necessarily for the better.

Has a lot to say about religion, clash of cultures, and the big question - why are we here?

Worth viewing.
