    The movie reminded me of Brazil (1985). POV style shots (Dennis Quaid), hodgepodge of disjointed human limbs and faces (Monstro Elisasue), and a critique of systems of control.

    The film relies heavily on visuals much more than dialogue and plot. This isn't necessarily a slight, and I don't expect a Mind-Body Problem dissertation, but It would have been interesting to peer into the organization behind the serum or dive a little deeper into Sue and Elizabeth Sparkle's interaction. I do appreciate the Carrie-esque ending, though.

    Best film ever made. Phillip Dick's cyberpunk vision comes to life in this cinematic masterpiece. The dystopian imagery is beautiful, and the score by Vangelis is perfectly alligned with it. The questions raised are momentous - What does it mean to be human? What makes life worth living? Are we only human by our memory? Have we become Gods?

    Rutger Haguer's 'Tears In Rain' monologue at the end is absolutely brilliant. "All these moments lost in time, like tears in rain."
    God DAMN.

    I cried. A lot.
    I'd also die for Bing Bong.
