it. Whether that conflict be between hopes and dreams, commitment and responsibility or self-interest and mortality. Although Blade Runner by Ridley Scott is a motion picture masterpiece, Deckard, a blade runner, is torn between a world filled with both humans and replicants. He must pursue and contend to four replicants who stole a ship in space in order to return to Earth to find their creator. Part of Deckard’s job is not only to find these replicants, but to also eliminate them for the safety of humanity, which his former actions don’t quite agree with the replicants, also engaging with many internal conflicts. Amid Deckard’s journey, he is told that replicants are bad and that he is to retire all replicants he comes across and that’s just what he does. There is one replicant though that he is unable to retire due to his love for her. Deckard is forced to choose between hope and dream and he decides to chase a future that he knows he is not supposed to have. It doesn’t take long for Deckard to learn that Nexus 6 replicants have implanted memories and can eventually develop emotions of their own. Being a replicant himself, Deckard develops his own feelings in the form of love for one of the Nexus 6 replicants, Rachael, and a lust for the good…

This act was both cruel and just in the eyes of Blade Runners. Since the replicants did not have any right they felt their actions were just. This is strange because if Tyrell was making the replicants more human than human why would the replicants kill him? The blade runners had the logic that it is okay to kill the replicants because they came to Earth and because they do not possess emotions. But as soon as the replicants develop emotions they will be dangerous to humans. As of right now the…

He is developing emotions for the non-human replicants, which he used to kill in cold blood.

The main change happens when he falls in love with the replicant Rachel. This gives Deckard a real challenge, because his dramatic need in BR is to haunt and kill the…

and a “blade runner”, Blade runners track down bioengineered beings known as replicants and retire them which means destroying them. On the surface the movie seems to be a manhunt movie of the hero chasing down these evil villains who have escaped and are out causing trouble, but from my view it seems to be more about humanity and our race to survive. All through the movie though the replicants are seen as evil they are simple on this journey to find their creator so he can help them increase…

convections, which naturally would slow down the exploration of the chosen idea. But they are cases that science fiction is not always about advanced technology and space exploration but it explores concepts such as human qualities, psychology and sociology. Blade Runner by Ridley Scott is one of them (adaptation from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick) it uses its own terminology such as referring to the clones as ‘Replicants’, a word chosen for its relation to cell…

The stimulus above is a quote from the movie ‘Blade Runner’. The quote above is delivered by a machine called a replicant, a machine that is capable of mimicking a human being. In suggesting that this machine is able to replicate a human in some emotional capacity, the stimulus raises the preliminary question of whether or not we can know what it is like to be a replicant (as it is something that mimics our own behaviours such as in the case of feeling sad)? If we can consider a replicant to be…

connecting ideas of what is real, what is good and whether replicants are more appealing than humans, will also be discussed. Ridley Scott explores the idea of what it means to be human through the main protagonist, Deckard, and the antagonist, Roy Batty. This is done in a futuristic setting, where replicants are controlled and used by humans, to undertake tasks that humans don’t want to do. The notion what is real and what is not forces us to think deeper about what it means to be human.…
