Steven Okazaki’s Oscar®-nominated documentary short The Conscience of Nhem En is profoundly distressing for reminding that Hannah Arendt’s conception of the “banality of evil” is as global a phenomenon as it is a human one and no less a threat in the machinations of warfare today as yesterday. Our’s is the constant task to remember and resist such inhumanity. Arendt’s understanding of the complicity that supports man’s officious inhumanity to man aligns with filmmaker Okazaki’s thematic concerns with the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. When he and I spoke on the occasion of his Emmy®-award winning White Light, Black Rain, Okazaki expressed his upset with a historicity that excludes the testimonials of survivors of horrific events; an exclusion he deemed “disturbing” if not “racist.” Such exclusions avoid the fascinating and tragic human story and—for his part—talking about survivors and allowing

For $15 million you can buy Deckard's house in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. As you know, the house (real name "Ennis House") is only briefly seen as Harrison Ford drove up to it but the general block-type design was also incorporated into the sets that were used for the interiors.
And the house is pretty famous in the movie world, given that it was used in The House On Haunted Hill, Black Rain, Karate Kid III (yeah!), Rush Hour III as well as being used for the mansion that Angel and Spike lived in on "Buffy".

$2.3 million for Cameron Frye’s house in 80s favourite Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, $2.85 million for the New Orleans mansion from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Pah! These are all small fry compared to the latest silver screen property to hit the market – the Frank Lloyd Wright Ennis mansion as seen in sci-fi cult classic Blade Runner. The 1924 property, built from Mayan-inspired concrete blocks, 27,000 of them to be precise is one of the famed architects most famous works and so is asking for bids in the region of $15 million (£9.1 million). Time to raid the piggy bank folks!
Amazingly, the current steep asking price is even a drop from a few years back when the Ennis mansion was worth an estimated $25 million. Under the guardianship of the Ennis House Foundation, the decision has been taken to sell it in the hope that a private buyer will snap it up and

If recreations aren't your thing and you've always wanted to own a genuine piece of Blade Runner history, today is your lucky day ... but it's going to cost you. Christie's Great Estates has announced that Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House (also known as The Blade Runner House), is officially up for sale. There is a $15 million price tag on the house, but the cultural landmark is still a bit of a fixer-upper, and renovation costs are estimated in the millions. Ennis House was built in 1924, but despite being one of the most famous landmarks in L.A., keeping the house standing has been proving more difficult over years.
Since it was first built, Ennis House has been crumbling thanks to earthquakes and rainstorms, but the movie landmark has been under the protection of a trust (whose members included Diane Keaton) for years. But when the expense of maintaining the house had become too much,
