This film, directed by Ridley Scott in 1982, is based on the Philip K. Dicks novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”. It has become a recognized classic of our time just because it did what no one ever did; start talking about "postmodernism" and "cyberpunk", when it was just coming out of the closet. Viewing the film from an architect point, it has become regular topic to have a vision of the future and most of all, the city’s future into a dark and bad context, like in an “end of the world” way. But I have to say that I’m against all those prophetic. As an architect, we are fighting with this reality, those who believe that nobody is taking care about the environment problems and the electric sources are wrong, because nowadays there are new construction methods and bioclimatic systems to control these problems. By the other hand, I could see on the movie, that the public areas sucks cause who could imagine a city with such highness without a reasonable public space. People on the movie lucks more like rats than human been. I hope not to fall on this movie reality to increase the depression or the sadness, cause future is not the way that someone shows you, future is going to be the way you are going to built it!
