    Never thought of Robocop that way but now I see it. A Walk To Remember was just soul crushing.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Copy paste from where I spelled out how Gjost in the Shell was an abortion because of the Buddhist undertones lost in translation vs the more familiar Christian connotations of Robocop:

    Robocop is very much about the American Jesus. Crucified in gunfire, his female partner a Mary Magdalene, his black Desk Sergeant his Peter. Arising 3 days after death he performs miraculous feats met with skepticism and wonder. The SWAT commander his Pontias Pilate, Clarence Boddicker and his gang as Pharisees. Dick Jones his Herod. The Yuppie guy his Judas Iscariot. But he is the*AmericanJesus. The old factory that once made cars had been turned into a den of thieves, a drug lab. His no knock and slaughter was akin to Jesus breaking things at the Temple shouting "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE?!" only this time he says it with bullets. He then kills his killers with a 9mm Machine Pistol and is redeemed at the end by reclaiming his name and causing Herod to fall from his own tower. I dont care about the other movies .


    A Walk to Remember was empowering. No matter what, the girl kept her faith when others chalkenged their own world views. She made peace with her own beginning middle and end.

    You mad, beautiful genius.

    Now please expand on Blade Runner being Jesus here to save us from the antichrist,
    Realizes he is the antichrist killing Jesus,
    And runs away with mary.
    Awaiting the day to redeem himself and step in as Jesus.

    Blade Runner was Humphrey Bogart with a Pygmalion complex. Also future Jim Crow.

    I thoroughly expect the sequel to suck.

    If you like that, try this.

    It's absolutely elegant, and if not for the actual artifacts left on the moon that we can easily detect, would be almost plausible.
