Blade Runner



(“Blade Runner” online image. Google image. 19 March 2010)

1. Blade Runner is best known for its cyberpunk mise en scene (design aspects of the film): the incredibly dense texture of its shots. Watch very carefully and describe the 2020 culture the movie suggests visually.

Blade runner world was really interesting because the environment was dark and people speak different language in movie. Some building was collapse and the world is really dim place. However, the building, other circumstances are advancing and animal is become extinct in 2020. Moreover, the technology is advancing in the future. For example, people make advance robot and science technology is advancing. The robot will become housekeeper and our friends. Therefore, people will live comfortable life in the future.

2. A moral message of the movie is that it was wrong to enslave the replicants and use them as forced labor since they were so human-like in both appearance and thought process. What would need to be different about replicants in order for us to feel that it was OK to use them for labor?

I think about replicants and human like in both appearance but I believed that they have a little bit different thought process. The replicants expressed their emotions so, they similar to human. However, I think people can use replicants for labor and why people make replicants? Because the replicants instead of do people hard to do work. They are just robot and people make for that reason. Therefore, it means the replicants have to help them and people can use them for labor.

  1. Yes, the technology is more advanced in the movie and the culture appears to be more diverse. One of the instances is that People speak different languages there. But the people there do not really seem to be happy. Now, I think this is likely to happen to the world maybe not in ten years but sometime soon. This movie made me think about it a lot.
