Sentient cyborgs and
dystopian cities of
the future may not be
staples of classic film
noir, but Blade Runner
showcases the evolution
of the neo noir style and
its successful crossovers
into genres like science
fiction. Besides, moral
dilemmas are generally
the same in every gloomy
metropolis, no matter
which century.
