      [Review of the old film] Is the male protagonist a human or a replica?

      Audio review link

      I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die.

      But I can guarantee that Blade Runner is definitely not a movie everyone can accept.

      With a protracted rhythm, obscure lines, dark and depressing tones, and bizarre music,...

      The development and change of dystopian literature and film and television works

      For dystopian literature, most people still have relatively little understanding and contact with it, but it is undeniable that it has existed for nearly 200 years, and some works that we are familiar with have also emerged during this period. Therefore, this time, I will help you understand "dystopia" in a deeper level through some dystopian literature and film and television works.

      Blade Runner: "More human than human."

      More than 30 years have passed since the "Blade Runner" movie was released in 1982. The world line in the present world has already passed the stall of November 2019.

      Humans, however, don't seem to be as smart as they expected when the movie was created. Our cars are still crawling on the ground, the huge crowds are still just tall buildings, and the sky is only blocked by the occasional...

      Thinking after watching Blade Runner——Time

      All those moments will be lost in time, like tears, in rain.

      Humans will always be like replicators, looking for eternity, which has never changed from ancient Greece to the present. Recently, I have been wondering, at the moment when people burst into tears at the funeral, is it the fear of death or the fear of the universe (God). Fear and awe can both be translated into fear in English, so when I heard the line "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it", I got...

      The film is known for its slow, tedious rhythm and thematic ideas that are so far ahead of its time. The dark and damp light and shadow, and the icy and decadent cyberpunk, raise the question of the meaning of life and the creator on top of the overhead world view setting. The replicants in the film are smart, capable, affectionate and righteous, but the human beings themselves are vulgar, indifferent and cowardly. What is the difference between the life of a human and a replicator? Humans may...

      [The China Film Archive Beijing Film Festival Screening] Final cut version. It has been nearly 20 years since I played the game of the same name by Westwood. I didn't expect to see it on the big screen, and the familiar scene made me miss it very much. Art design, model close-up, and costume sets are all powerful beyond the times. Music is also memorable. However, the film fell into an action film routine at the end and failed to dig further. In contrast, the game plot is even more in-depth...

      Looking at it at a deeper level, it is really thought-provoking, not to mention the perfect special effects. Unfortunately, the plot is not complete, and after watching it many times, I will feel that it is a...

    Movie plot

    The story tells that in 2019, Los Angeles turned into a smoke-barrier land of nine opposites. Humans have created clones that are no different from real people to work for humans, but when these clones have thoughts and feelings, they will be destroyed. Although humanoids are cruel by nature, they are full of longing and nostalgia for the four-year life they only have. Mankind does not allow these copies to have the right to be normal...

    Filming

    "Blade Runner" has a combination of Chinese and Western scenery with rich details, exquisite special effects and almost no flaws. The building of Tyrell Company in the film combines the architectural styles of ancient Egyptian, Mayan, and Aztec pyramids. The outer wall is engraved with metal patterns corrupted by acid rain. It is 800 stories high, magnificent and magnificent; it is actually a two-and-a-half-foot tall building. The...

    Media Evaluation

    "Blade Runner" is the best and most representative sci-fi movie in the 1980s: it has a slower rhythm, but full of style; it carries a strong reflective temperament and humanistic spirit; the core of the film (story, images, ideas) It has a fairly pure and hard sci-fi taste; the purpose of special effects is to let the audience fully integrate into the atmosphere of the film instead of dazzling skills and stimulating the senses-most of...

    In my opinion, the theme of this story is that Dyke loses humanity more and more in the process of hunting man-made people, while at the same time, the man-made people are gradually showing a more human side. Finally, Dyke must ask himself: What am I doing? What is the nature of the difference between me and them? If there is no difference, then who am I? ( Original author Philip Dick · K · Comment

    Movie quotes

    • Deckard: [narrating] The report read "Routine retirement of a replicant." That didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back.

    • Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...

      Leon: What one?

      Holden: What?

      Leon: What desert?

      Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.

      Leon: But, how come I'd be there?

      Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...

      Leon: Tortoise? What's that?

      Holden: [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what a turtle is?

      Leon: Of course!

      Holden: Same thing.

      Leon: I've never seen a turtle... But I understand what you mean.

      Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.

      Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?

      Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

      Leon: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?

      Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?

      [Leon has become visibly shaken]

      Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?

    • Batty: Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shoulders... burning with the fires of Orc.
