Do you think you could see something that would change your whole life? And could that thing, or rather person, been standing right next to you the whole time?
Blade Runner is the classic cyberpunk 1982 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford. Adapted from Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” the movie follows Rick Deckard, a retired blade runner brought back on to chase down four replicants led by Roy Batty, synthetic humans bio-engineered to be slaves on off-world colonies, and made illegal on Earth. As Deckard and Roy come face to face, the nature of Blade Runner’s world, the replicants, and perspective come to a head, as the classic cyberpunk movie explains itself in the ending. In this video essay, we’ll be looking at the entire movie and explaining what we can learn from the interplay of Deckard and Roy, as well as Rachel, another replicant, and Tyrell, the creator of the replicants. How far gone are the humans of this dystopian world, and could a new perspective bring them back? Let’s analyze it, explain the ending, and see.
