Listening to Ost of "Blade runner" in the background music , it feels like the soul is out of the body, and I want to cry. This is a bit strange, because the urge to cry does not come from how the plot touches me, but more from the music itself. Schopenhauer said that music is the highest and most powerful art, because she does not express ideas like other art, but directly expresses desire itself.
Some feelings are hard to describe, such beautiful music makes me poor. As Wittgenstein said, there are always words that cannot be exhausted, and music is the proof. It is a vain effort to express music in words, and words always seem so clumsy at this time. The reason why poetry has become the highest form of literary genre is precisely because of its musicality. Architecture is called frozen music. Sometimes it seems that this kind of music can give people a glimpse of the secrets of the inner harmony of the universe. Perhaps this is as immortal as Plato said. There is something transcendental and eternal in us, which allows us to reach the inner essence of the universe. This is inaccessible to reason and words, this is an intuition.
I think this is also one of the advantages of the eighth major art over other forms. The illusion woven by images and music, beyond the part that can be stated, has a ray of emotional experience that seems to be non-existent in us. When I think back, it is tangible, sensible, visible, audible, but unspeakable.
The above feeling mainly comes from Vangelis's original soundtrack for the movie, especially "Love Theme". The empty psychedelic music and the dark pictures of Gothic create an atmosphere and scene of the end times.
The nature of humanity and torture ethics
of human cloning - and "AI" in the core chip of ice-cold robot has different copy mechanisms seem quite human biological structure. There is an interesting Empathy Test, which is said to be designed based on the famous Turing Test principle. With the renewal of clones, Empathy Test becomes more and more difficult to distinguish the difference between clones and real people. Do copy people have emotions? Or as the title of the original novel, "Do robots dream of electronic sheep?"
(Digression: Interestingly, I recently read about Gödel, about the famous incompleteness theorem. According to the author of "The Emperor's New Brain", Penrose who cooperated with Hawking on the black hole theory, the incompleteness theorem is negated. The possibility of mechanization of the human mind.)
Like "AI", "Blade runner" is discussing the question: What is a human being? When the boundaries between humans and machines-or artificial intelligence, are gradually blurred, how should humans deal with them, and how should they treat these clones (including clones)? Think they are he/she or it?
If you go deeper, you can also ask about the ethical basis of human emotions. Human beings tortured and hunted other creatures, as if it were justified, never felt guilty for being the same life as their own, but facing their own sufferings, they hurt and pity themselves, facing their own death in panic all day long. People’s sympathy for the suffering of others, fear and aversion to killing, follow its essence because the object is the same "people" and the "empathy" that occurs.
In "Blade Runner", humans enslaved the clones like animals, exposing the selfish nature of humanity's extraordinarily self-consciousness-love, kindness and other beautiful emotions.
The most memorable ending is a
copy of the sigh of dying Yangtian-"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears.. in rain. Time... to die. "
At this moment, he is as handsome as an ancient Greek statue, but with a hideous face made of bright red blood, with a meaningful smile, The color of the whole film is dark, only he has a very eye-catching white hair, and the silver moonlight shines on his body, holy as an angel.
"All these moments will fade away in the torrent of time, like tears, melted into rain... It's time to die..."
From another perspective, Roy Batty's "Heavenly Questions" would rather say It's human beings' own "question from heaven". With the shortness of one's own life corresponding to the eternity of the universe, poets at home and abroad have a similar resonance.
A millet in the
vast ocean, mourning the need of my life.
The limit of life and death is the ultimate proposition for human beings.
