A shortsighted animal?

Too Long; Didn't Read

I was just a seven year old boy when I watched <em>Blade Runner</em> for the very first time. I can still remember the feeling of wonder of myself as a kid in front of a future which looked so charming and so distant at the same time. I was finding it intriguing and fascinating. A few years later, as a teenager, I was moved by the parallel between the mortality of the replicants doomed by their four-year life cycle and our own one, which still was looking much much longer to my 14 year old self.
