Blade Runner

What strikes you about the film?

What really struck me about the film was how the robots, or the replicants, showed more emotion throughout the film than the humans did. For example, when Rachel went to Deckards house she was trying to convince him that she was not a robot. He made a couple of mean comments and she started to cry. Then later on Rachel showed fear when she felt that she and Deckard were getting too close. Now one of the humans, Dr. Eldon Tyrell, the creator of the replicant's brain, barely showed any emotion. He did not seem to care about anything. He showed no fear, happiness, or sadness throughout the whole movie. One example was when he was talking about Rachel, saying that he created her as an experiment, letting her believe she was human. Now it is true that she was a replicant, but that was a very cruel thing to do to something that was living.

  2. Well some of the other human characters showed a lot of emotion as well like the police chief and the origami guy (sorry I forgot his name). While Pris( who was a replica) showed little emotion at all.
