I love the look of this movie. The whole night time look suits the whole movie, but it kinda makes you think how would it look in daylight. There's no daylight scenes at all.
shareIt was also almost always raining.
shareIf you believe the weirdos jumping all over Solo : A Star Wars Story, Blade Runner must have been photographed by the same kind of lazy, amateurs as that movie.
OP, the darkness is because it’s Film Noire: Science Fiction Film
Noire, a groundbreaking genre, in whose footsteps followed movies like Dark City. The Noire genre was derived from literature like Raymond Chandler novels, e. g., While I Lay Dying.
Why is it always night time.....?
stupid question
Well the bit of background they give in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," which is the book Blade Runner is based on, reveals a world that experienced a brief nuclear war that messed up the environment. It was dark a lot because the atmosphere was polluted, blocking out a lot of the sunlight that gets down to the ground. That's another reason the government was flying around these hoverships with advertisements for settling the planetary colonies. In the book, a good bit of the human population who had not been mutated by the radioactivity, were allowed to emigrate to the colony worlds, like Mars. They never explained that part in the movie Blade Runner, however you could guess that something had happened to Earth. It was either polluted or too populated or too industrial.
