Departing From Dystopian Science Fiction
Interesting
Category: Analysis
Tagged: Blade Runner, The Terminator, Minority Report
Recently, someone encouraged me to write a few science fiction pieces with a positive outlook, maybe because there is a dominance of dystopian science fiction; a preponderance of horror and gloom within the genre. I get told that science fiction is often too gloomy in its outlook, needlessly creating bleak visions of the future as if to deter our civilization's progress. We only need to name a few examples among movies for this to seem true: Blade Runner (1982), The Terminator (1984), Minority Report (2002), and a world of others. The conclusion is that writers of science fiction have consistently tried to send out warnings about where our civilization is going and we have ended up with a barrage of dystopian science fiction.

Ennis House
Interesting
Featured in: Blade Runner
One of its most compelling settings in BladeRunner is this Frank Lloyd Wright architectural masterpiece from 1924. The Ennis House, also known as the Ennis-Brown House, serves as Deckard's home and — true to the future predicted in Blade Runner — the mansion began falling into disrepair after the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

Featured in: Blade Runner
This shot of Deckard arriving home is an altered image of the drive up to the very unusual Ennis Brown House in the Hollywood Hills. The all-concrete Mayan design home doubles for the blade runner's apartment, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
