Blade Runner
Ashley Frost
Blade Runner was a difficult film for me to wrap my head around at first. After the class discussion I was better able to understand what was happening, not just with the plot but the underlying themes and messages that are trying to get out. The entire film seems to beg the question of “does God exist?” since humans are able to create life in this film. If man has the power to create something extremely human-like that isn’t human, then what created man? Something ironic about this film is that the Creator, Tyrell, has to wear this huge glasses in order to see, and the replicants are identified through their eyes. The replicants also value their life and obviously want to keep it, so why are the blade runners so intent on killing them?
