Blade Runner was an interesting movie that was a depiction of what 1982 saw the future as like. In the year 2019, the Blade Runner setting was a dirty, dark and dull place. AI was the sole focus of the movie where Harrison Ford, Blade Runner, had to eliminate the replicants when surprisingly he was a replicant the whole time! There were two versions of replicants, one version in the movie were being hunted were killers who knew they were replicants, but the others, Rick and Rachael, did not know they were replicants. Neither did I. It made me wonder how if AI like this were to ever exist would we be able to tell which ones were AI and which were humans. What if technology became that advanced that we had to consider AI as one of us. Harrison Ford in the movie seem to clearly be human, but he wasn't. It kind of explained all the hints throughout the movie such as; Rachael asking if he ever took the test himself or Rick having no family or friends. Rachael and Rick must of been the last 2 of the 6 replicants, but probably were released due to their non threatening nature. This movie was weird future/ scifi film and some surprising twists.
Hey, Matt. I liked the movie as well, it was pretty interesting how it tied in all its ideas at the end of the film, but all the darkness and scenery made it kind of boring for me in short moments throughout the movie. I did not realize until the end that Harrison Ford was a replicant, but once I came to that conclusion I began to make sense of it and the concepts through the movie that provide evidence that he is a replicant are so crazy. I did not think of the facts that he doesn't have any family as evidence and when Rachel asked him if he took the test he did not answer her, but now that you point it out I see that it is true. Good observations and nice post.
