The pioneer of cyberpunk was very unpopular at the time when the audience had seen Star Wars. It did not have those grand alien scenes, no fierce fighting, and no mysterious high-tech. It can be said that It was very avant-garde at the time. However, it later opened up a new style in sci-fi movies, cyberpunk, and many later movies have been influenced by it. This film can be said to lay the foundation for the style of "cyberpunk": neon lights, crowded and dim cities full of rainy nights, transformation of people, and the utopia of future human society. The plot of Blade Runner does not have many ups and downs, it is mainly reflected in its thinking about the future society. The film begins with a city that is vertically stratified: the top rules the bottom. The close-up of the flickering glasses reminded me of the 1984 novel: big guy is watching you. It is worth mentioning that the scene art of the whole film is located at the top of the city is the Terry Company, and this kind of company building is like a temple in Egypt. "What is a human being, is a android a human?" This is the biggest question and core of the whole film
The blade runner is responsible for hunting and killing replicants, but when the memory can be implanted and the replicants think they are human and gradually approach human beings, Deck, the blade runner, hesitates. Before, he thought that what he killed was just a human. Impostors, now it's like killing people. Deck chases down a dummy dancer, and the dancer is shot and falls into a window full of dummies. The soundtrack of this episode is a sad saxophone, listen carefully, and the sound of a heartbeat. When Deckard looked at the dancer's face, there was still a tear. All these designs are hinting to the audience that the murderer is clearly a living person.
There are two very important clones in the movie, one is Rachel and the other is Roy. One of them wants love and the other wants to live. This is the most basic desire of human nature. So when a bionic person has these two kinds of human attributes, is he a human being? I think yes
In the final battle, Roy uttered the most classic line: "I have seen battleships burn in the constellation Orion, I have seen c-rays shine in the darkness near Tannweiser Gate, all these moments, in the end It will pass over time, like tears disappearing in the rain." Such poetic language, thinking about life and philosophy, is it not a manifestation of human nature.
The movie has also buried a big stalk, that is, Deckard is also a replicator. Whether it is the policeman's attitude towards him or the unicorn in his dream, it is a very strong suggestion. This made it even more dramatic for the audience who had been watching from Decker's perspective, and gave the audience more empathy for the android.
This film is epoch-making and philosophical. Later, when I came into contact with the game Detroit, it was also a very strong cyberpunk style, and it made me think about life, about human nature, and about people. Maybe we're just androids created by God, just with a longer lifespan.
