I feel like there's a kind of movie that if you don't watch it early enough in your film-watching career then by the time you get to it you're gonna be like "well. that was mid" and that's because you've seen eleventy thousand homages to it which means you saw all the good things about it repeatedly in countless forms and then the elegant simplicity of the original just falls flat
that unfortunately was what happened to me with Blade Runner
#also rosemary's baby#both of those movies have been relentlessly mined for inspiration by like. every single director/writer in their respective genres#by the time i finally saw them it just felt extremely anticlimactic LOL#this is different from say 2001 (also relentlessly imitated) bc i hate 2001. i don't hate these two i just wish i had seen them earlier#like when i was a wee impressionable bby
