Creator's Philosophy

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2020)

The rise of science fiction movies in the 1980s, "Blade Runner" is one of the most far-reaching films, creating a new film style-cyberpunk. Influenced many later famous movies.
The label of science fiction movies is cool and gorgeous special effects. However, there are not many special effects in Blade Runner, but it has created a unique dark style. Almost all of the film is a night show: crowds of people come and go in the rain, showing the end of the city with the background music.
One of the reasons why this movie is famous is because of its unique theme and style, so that it was too advanced in that era and was considered "bad film". It brings us a lot of thinking
There is no complete decent and villain in the movie. The man-made people revolted because they did not want to succumb to their destiny. They had more power and wisdom than humans. They were sent by humans to the universe to survey new homes. It makes no sense. So they want to resist. In fact, the artificial people in the movie are just like the human beings just born, seeing the beauty of the world, and embarking on endless exploration. Nowadays, mankind has become the "God" of man-made man, but he is not as kind as the God who created mankind. Mankind has always carried the arrogance of the Creator. Man-made humans have done too much work for humans from birth to death, but humans have not stopped their oppression. In the human world view, man-made humans are slaves. When man-made humans request developers to modify lifespan, they are ruthlessly rejected . However, at certain times, artificial humans are more humane than humans. At the end, Roy's monologue filled the film instantly, and the pigeons he flew seemed to represent that his soul was finally free.
Now that AI technology is developed, there are always some problems: should robots have independent awareness? How should robots serve humans? What is the relationship between humans and robots? ----- "Blade Runner" brings us reflection on the Creator.
