The reason why this film has become a classic, I think, is that it is more restrained and profound than other films, which shows the relativity of the difference in human nature between humans and robots after the highly developed artificial intelligence. Artificial humans with more advanced physical and intellectual capabilities than humans are enslaved by humans and are set to have only 4 years of life. They revolted against humans, and humans began to hunt and kill artificial humans, and these killers were called "Blade Runners". The protagonist Harrison Ford is just such a killer, but in the process of hunting down the humanoids, he gradually discovered and realized the need for these humanoids to identify with his own human identity, and discovered that he is actually more than these humanoids. There is no humanity. In the first half of the film, the seemingly vicious man-made humans are actually not for killing, but for the continuation of life and the dignity of human beings. On the contrary, Harrison Ford, with his hands full of blood, became an anti-human character.
In addition to the style of typical science fiction films, the main feature of the film is the lighting. The director Ridley Scott must be a light maniac. The most dazzling thing about this film against the depressed dark background is the bizarre lights. There are neon lights that give people a very cheap and irritable feeling, and there are also symbols of oppression and exploration. The searchlights left a deep impression on me.
The following spoilers.
The "Final Boss Battle" facing the cyborgs is completely different from other movies. Harrison Ford has absolutely no power to parry in front of the cyborg Roy, and Roy's purpose is to release his inner depression before the end of his four-year life. And pain. In the love of life, Roy saved Harrison Ford who was chasing him at the last moment of his life. Harrison Ford finally recovered his humanity and went to pursue the female artificial person he fell in love with. The treatment of the film is undoubtedly sharp and profound, which is also an important reason why the film is still regarded as a classic to this day. On the other hand, the heroine cyborg folds out the unicorn in Harrison Ford’s dream. Does it imply that Harrison Ford may also be the cyborg whose memory has been transplanted?
