Entanglement and analysis of Blade runner

Logo no comço da narrativa - Passada em Los Angeles in 2019 - é shown o gloomy and technological background, not which flying cars crossed or céu enquanto enormous towers released fire.

Im followed, we fear or close to um olho that reflects a surreal atmosphere. As isso we can perceive the contrast between the human being and the degradation caused by the exploration of the planet.

Nesse moment, we see a homem being interrogated by a policeman through a test chamado Voight-KampffAs an intuition of discovering, he is a replicant or a human. Or home to the questão é Leon (Brion James), an android who escaped from one of the colonies of work he wrote together with other three replicants.

Or psychological test to detect replicants

It is interesting to have dinner and to ask questions of an emotional nature, as the objective of testing the subject's “humanity”, also examining his memory of him. Assim, we can never see reflection on what makes us human or not. Or what defines nossa humanidade? Would this be our memories, our history or our ability to see us?

As questões are apparently simple and inúteis, for example: “Você is in a desert walking sozinho and suddenly olha to go down and see a tartaruga. You go down and turn from coasts to go down. A belly of the fica burning the sun and the balance of the legs, trying to turn, but it does not get her help. Você vai ajudá-la? ”.

Second or test, humans emit reactions through each day or imagine that kind of dinner, já os robôs, no. Therefore, além do inquérito, there is a device that examines the two little subjects that are submembered in the procedure.

Knowing that he would be uncovered, Leon participated in the test, but in a moment of agility he managed to kill the police and escape from the local.

Rick Deckard is called to hunt androids

É aí que enters or protagonist of the plot, Rick Deckard (lived by Harrison Ford). Deckard is an ex-blade runner, ou seja, an ex-android hunter, who is intimate with official Gaff (Edward James Olmos) and his former chef Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh) to carry out his mission to track down and kill the replicants who are illegally fleeing to Terra. São eles: Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), Pris (Daryl Hannah) and Zhora (Joanna Cassidy).

Outro ponto considerável é que o ato de Execute the robôs not seen as assassinated. For them, this is a way to "lodge" or "withdraw" the replicants, which have not been programmed to live for just four years from their birth.

Here we can see uma analogy to the extermination of pessoas Victims of police violence, as well as a lack of commitment and assistance that part of the population The worker is submerged when in work analogous to escravidão, being also seen as part of a system of production.

Deckard meets Rachel

After receiving missão, Deckard met with Dr. Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel), donor of Corporação Tyrell and breeder of bioengineering technology that produces replicants. She meets Tyrell's assistant, a young girl named Rachel (Sean Young).

Rachael is a special android, she claims to be human because she received the implant of memories from Tyrrell's niece.

A moça é submetida ao test Voight-Kampff And, after many questions, Deckard confirms that she is not human, or that later I have revealed to her. Rachael later happens to face two androids that must be "retired."

J.F Sebastian and seus "brinquedos" replicantes

Nowadays, Roy and Leon are looking for clues that can be raised by his breeder, so that we can achieve more time of life. Então eles chegamaté a manufacturer of olhos de robôs and get information about J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson), a geneticist from Corporação Tyrell who works to produce replicants.

Sebastian is walking in the direction of his apartment and stands with Pris, in charge of approaching him. Assim, or geneticist, invited to come to her house, where she lives with her "hops", experiments of replicants of different models.

Here, there is an interesting reflection on the solidão, because of the question is the delay sozinho and the answer and affirmative, more elect than your footsteps of the fazem company. More once a Artificial intelligence is emotionally placed.

The apartment in which Sebastian lives is huge and effective in an abandoned and decaying property. Isso creates a contrast as a superpopular environment of the city, where people from diverse ethnic groups live and agglomerate, deviating some days from the other inquant acid chuva não stop falling.

Deckard e a caçada à Zhora

Deckard is in search of Leon and, to analyze photographs by means of a machine, he manages to get elements and people that are not portrayed at dinner. Assim, find out information about another replicant, Zhora.

Then an ex-police officer has come across Zhora and, after a persecution on the streets of the city, he ends up executing a moça with shots on the coasts. At this point Deckard enters into conflict over his role of executing robberies.

Following a confrontation between Leon and Deckard, not which replicant is ready to execute or detect when Rachel takes a shot at her head and saves Deckard. Dessa form, or caçador fica devoting his life to moça and promises not to exterminate it.

Or romance between Deckard and Rachel

Since the beginning there has been a climate of romance between the researcher and the replicant, or it seems that Deckard thought that he could incisively agitate no sense of getting an approximation with Rachel.

At dinner what you do is beijam pela first time and controversial, exhibiting an abusive attitude do protagonist, that at the time was not questioned, more than at present certainly not passaria scattered.

Or found between breeder and creature

At the same time, Sebastian is with Pris and Roy in his apartment and tells that he has a syndrome that he faces quickly, so he also has a short time of life. Here we see one more time or question about a passagem do tempo em contraposição com a vida e a morte.

Sebastian takes Roy to meet Tyrell. Já é noite, the huge millionaire apartment is lit by many candles. Through a very rich setting, costumes and photography, one can see the wealth and power of the company that manufactures the robberies.

Roy questions his manufacturer and demands that he give him more time to live. More or asked the denied logo, pois, em meio to consolo's words, I say that isso would be impossível.

Therefore, or replicant, visibly frustrated, he hits the head of his breeder like mine, he gives a beijo da morte e a esmaga between your fingers. Sebastian also has not been given a chance and Roy sai sozinho do magnificent preédio.

Or I confront Deckard as the replicants

Nesse moment, Deckard goes to Sebastian's apartment and comes across various "hops". Among them is Pris, who exhibits a striking maquiagem and is imóvel, covered by a véu, at a few dinners that are most frighteningly beautiful on the film.

Pris surprende Deckard and who manages to kill him, but ends up assassinated. É when Roy chega e a ve sem life.

Then the replicant of the blade runner initiates a pursuit sequence where Deckard is seen to be seen and tries to escape by local phone. Em meio a incessant chuva, or ex-policeman who fell and Roy, who could easily kill him, resolves to save his life.

As "tears na chuva" by Roy

A dinner of this attack was marked in the history of the cinema due to an exciting speech that or replicated face before dying. Segurando uma pomba branca - which symbolizes freedom and life - Roy says:

“Eu vi coisas que vocês não imaginariam. Attack ships em chamas throughout Órion. Eu vi raios-c brilharem na escuridão, next to Tannhäuser Portal. All these moments will be lost, no time, like tears na chuva. Time to die. "

Here, we can see a mixture between the artificial and human characteristics of robô, projected to be "more human than human", second or slogan of its manufacturer. Interestingly, he really manages to develop love for his existence and for the life of two others, even saving his opponent.

A poetic image of "tears na chuva" became memorable, ainda mais vinda of an unnatural personagem.

In conclusion, Deckard is a replicant

Deckard returned to the local where Rachel was and the two of you took pictures together. But earlier, the blade runner found a paper origami in the form of a unicorn, a sign that Gaff had passed through the life of Rachel.

OR unicórnio appears as a reference to Deckard's dream as an animal. Therefore, here a dúvida se o caçador de andróides was also an android that had memories and implanted dreams.

This is also suggested in other passages of the film, when Rachel asks whether or not she has ever submitted to the test. Voight-Kampff, or that was never answered. There is also a dinner where Deckard's pupils show a certain brilliance, a common characteristic of replicants.

Hidden meanings em Blade runner

Some elements displayed do not long appear with different meanings.

This is the case you give small sculptures ugly hair, official Gaff. The first time there is a small origami of a galinha, when Deckard receives missão, more successful. Gaff suggested how a dubbing he is being covarde as a galinha.

A second sculpture is a feitous bonequinho made of a matchstick, which represents a home as an erect penis, an analogy to Deckard's sexual-love interest for Rachel.

A third is or origami of a universe, which is related to the universe of dreams of the main personage.

Photographs of the cores used on film are also important for tracing symbols and meanings. We can repair that two cores are very used: or blue and or yellow.

The yellow and golden dinners form also feitas to convey the sensation of wealth and power associated with Tyrell, or great idealizer and breeder of two androids. OR dourado também é uma cor normally related to the divine sphere.

Ha as blue dinners passam a noção de melancolia, freza and linked to the gloomy and catastrophic atmosphere of large cities. Also, there are cores in neon, which contribute to the technological and multi-ethnic character present in large cities.

At the same time as a light is worked and another highlight factor. In many internal dinners there are feixes of light that enter you, suggesting in the absence of privacy, as we all know, guarded at all times, and there are lights, two flying police cars and two zepellins that passam com advertisements.

It is worth noting that a film that served as inspiration was not the source of illumination. Cidadão Kane.
