Second time I watched it, first time was during its theatrical release.
Still a very powerful movie. The slow rhythm and the cinematography create a very heavy atmosphere, fit for the universe and message the movie conveys.
Some of the shots give a Dune vibe, nice to see this so many years before the first Dune movie.
Definitely recommended if you like SF and dystopian universes
I always felt that the hyper density, and extreme (manufactured) scarcity of resources that seems to be pervasive on earth at that time point would be key to the objectification. Anyway to get the upper hand to get more resources. Women objectified, replicants objectified, everyone is trying to eke out an existence, forced to do so at the expensive others.
Each individual is worth less and less and less.
