The plot of the movie "Blade Runner" becomes unrevealed till the end of the movie. Many assumptions about the plot and the final of the movie appear in the spectator's mind, but not one of these assumptions lasts long. Numerous deceptions in the plot grip the interest of the audience and contribute for the continuing interest to the movie eighteen years after its creation. The main character in the movie is Deckard- the Blade Runner. He is called for a special mission after his retirement, to "air up" four replicants who have shown flaws and have killed people. There are many arguments and deceptions in the plot that reveal the possibility Deckard to be a replicant. Roy is the other leading character of the movie. He appears to be the leader of the replicants- the strongest and the smartest. Roy kills his creator Tyrell. The effect of his actions fulfils the expectation of the spectator for a ruthless machine.
The main deception in the plot is also the main cause that holds the identity of the blade razor ÃÂDeckard, unrevealed through the continuance of the movie. The first assumption that comes to the mind is that Deckard is not a replicant because he is the one that Bryant calls to hunt replicants. But there also appears the question what makes him the most proper to oppose the consummate replicants. The possibility Deckard to be a replicant makes him the worthiest person for the assignment. Deckard recommends Holden who is also a replicant assuming the words of Bryant -"He can bread okay as long as no one unplugs him". In most of the chapters Deckard acts as a human being. He has feelings for Rachael, and later in the movie he is the one that...
Blade Runner
You make some interesting points in your film review of Blade Runner. Whether the character of Harrison Ford was or wasn't a replicant provided some intrigue but wasn't the main point of the movie for me. I was struck with how mankind's ability to advance technology (in this case to create amazingly lifelike automatons) will probably outstrip the ability to resolve the moral dilemmas which ensue from doing so.
At some point in the future, robotic science fiction will undoubtedly become science fact. I wonder if we will treat our creations as disposable machines or recognize that artificial intelligence may become so highly developed that androids deserve special treatment commensurate with their unique status as copies of us imbued even with qualities such as self awareness and human aspirations.
None of us may live long enough to see the development of robots which closely resemble humans. Still, it does make one wonder if our intelligence in developing such marvels will be greater than our wisdom in knowing how to accord them appropriate treatment. Can mankind expect to create a class of robotic slaves without the tragic consequences slavery brings?
