It is worth noting the similarity here: between the company and the copy, just like the communication between the god and the angel, there is no "should" exist. In other words, it is not that "angels/clone should serve mankind", it is just a fact to serve mankind, and it is an unchangeable fact. Once the copy person has ought/ethical doubts: what is "right"? Like human beings who eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they will become too arrogant that they think they can decide and change their future. The humanity brought by this arrogance, especially the cuteness of humanity, has been fully demonstrated in "Blade Runner". Harrison Ford’s role is very interesting. He is a human who rashly broke into the myth. At least he thinks he is a human. In name, he is the protagonist, but just like Joseph K, in this world that he doesn’t actually know, he thinks he played a considerable role, and he didn’t fully understand until he saw the unicorn origami (Harrison Ford’s disapproval of his role brought this drama to the culmination outside of the movie). When he thinks he is a human being, he executes orders regardless of reason like a copy; when he finds that he is a copy, instead he retrieves his free will, which is quite a wonderful irony. "More like humans than humans", the reason is that cloners understand that boundary better.
But "Blade Runner 2049" shows a post-"Paradise Lost" structure: Since it is no longer monopolized by humans, "as it should be" has become a riddled, "respectively expressed" thing. What the police boss said to K was "You prevented a war", but why can't there be a war? Mankind adopts an ostrich-like attitude that turns a blind eye to contradictions. They discriminate against and use copying people, knowing in their hearts that they are not significantly different from themselves-except for the "bareness". The police department’s “should” is “humans should not have conflicts/wars”, and Wallace’s “should” is “humans should have the stars”: you may be able to see that in “Blade Runner”, humans "Humans should not enslave humans", not "humans should enslave clones"-to "what should clones do", humans' answer has always been "humans should bury their heads in the sand". Roy’s anger mainly comes from this feeling of being abandoned in the “as it should be”: they are made as objects and slapped to death like flies. Even if they are so powerful and beautiful, humans don’t care what they “should be”. ". The fear of asking them this question, more than the fear of real threats to them, produces the cryptic phrase "retirement". But they don’t understand that this is exactly the way humans treat their own kind—the problem does not lie in that they are clones and "should not" have the same "rights" as humans; the problem lies in "actuality", that is, They have not "in fact" obtained the same "power", and they have not formed a stable ability that will not subvert the entire human order but only cut the cake from human interests to force humans to face them squarely. In "2049", the duplicators are still struggling with this "what it should be" problem. Although the issue of fertility and the "reality" of reproductive capacity are intertwined with each other, "more like humans than humans" still only makes them appear. "It's not human", rather than making humans feel ashamed. The only thing that makes human beings retreat is the real existence of their power. If you realize the real situation, it might be a reality that will drive them crazy.
In fact, cloners who live a group life, whether Blade Runner, Rebels, or company servants, without exception, possess what Nietzsche calls "the morality of slaves": they must be entangled in whether they are "worthy to be humans." The problem. Only those who act individually among them-the best example is the Chain 6 Types, they have the "master's morality" that is forced in an instant, that is to say, the same self-centeredness and freedom as human beings. , But they are not destined to die well. Like human beings, they were born in an organized world, but they do not have such a powerful ability to forget, deceive themselves, and mentally derange themselves like humans, so that they can develop strong individuals under the weight of the organization.
As a Blade Runner, K adopts an extremely Christian approach to his ambiguous identity: "I" is willing to be discriminated against and oppressed by myself, and insists on killing his compatriots. "I" is willing to be lonely, Joi is the reflection of "I", she is more like a human than "I", "I" is willing to just stare at her for a long time, approach her hopelessly, and be said by "she" The identity of "I" shouldn't be said. "I" believes in the nobility of human beings, so much so that they ignore the many contradictions in it, even if they insult "I" and let "I" kill a child, a child who is completely human. K, or Joe, or Joseph K, he is an admirer of human nature. In his understanding, the difference between copying people and human beings is a difference in personality. Just as Joseph K can never reach the essence of judgment and the castle, Joe also cannot reach the essence of humanity. But he was originally willing to this fact, until this substance seemed to knock on his door uninvited, and said to him "You are the Messiah", great sadness fell on him, because he did not The corresponding aptitude corresponds to this overly heavy destiny, this destiny can subvert his originally overly illusory destiny with just a little finger, and to do his best to create a little weight for himself. However, the door closed again almost immediately. Like the "Handan Toddler", he now has nothing left. He sat there, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed, and his compatriots, those who wanted to replace The rebellious angels of the Creator, like the Creator himself, let him do the same thing: murder, with the same tone and similar reasons: the group, "we".
Yes, "this shame will stay in the world forever", but it has nothing to do with him. He has no father, no boss, no companion, no lover, no reflection, no creed, neither a human nor a copy, he can do what he is happy to do: push the stone. Contrary to the simple flesh that is full of Nietzsche’s life joy and destruction and sorrow, this flesh is completely conceptualized, and it has lost all the “ought” and “actuality” support, and the humanity’s “Daocheng” Physical body". His happiness lying on the steps of falling snow is completely isolated from the tragedy of bystanders. It is the purification and sublimation of all the old Hollywood hero images. He lay there, revealing a kind of autism at the heart of Christian culture: human nature is talking, and people are destined to never hear.
