people who know more than me about cyberpunk as a genre: what are some of the must-watch movies?
i've always thought the aesthetic was cool (like everyone else) but the actual genre has always just sort of been at the periphery for me, and i've been wanting to get to know it better. i watched blade runner (1982) and... did not care for that lol. obviously the set design is super cool but the misogyny/orientalism was so overt that it left me surprised i've seen people even bothering to discuss those aspects of it. doesn't take reading an essay to notice that stuff lmao. (although admittedly, "is a person still a person even if their memories are fake" is a more interesting question than most stuff that cops the cyberpunk aesthetic bothers to ask, that was cool too)
anyway that's p much the extent of my experience (unless you count like, ghostrunner, which slaps). are there movies i might like more? am i going about this wrong and cyberpunk is better experienced through books, tabletop games, video games instead of movies? possible i incorrectly assumed this was a film-centric thing. gimme your thoughts!
