One of the seminal film scenes of all time, and a contender for my Top 5 Most Existentially Resonant Moments in Film is the farewell monologue of Roy Batty (played by Rutger Hauer) in the film Blade Runner, captured above in LEGO by Zach Macias of Mindgame Studios. In Blade Runner Roy Batty is a cyborg (known as a Replicant) who is reconciling the fact that he has a finite lifespan. His farewell is an ode to the fullness of the life he has lived and the memories of his that will be lost. The relevance of Blade Runner to our present moment in history and ethos of The Imagination Age increases almost daily for me as new discussions arise about the evolution of human consciousness at the intersection of technological innovation.
If you haven't seen the other stop motion videos by Zach Macias, I've embedded another below.
