Blade Runner

The film is about Rick Deckard, a blade runner, has to track down and terminate 4 replicants who hijacked a ship in space and have returned to Earth seeking their maker.

I found the film to be overall strange and a bit confusing but the concept of the film was intriguing. I liked how the future was imagined to be like in 1982 when the film was made and how it is compared to today's technologies as the film is set in 2019 which is only 6 years away .

The films future-world is very dark, busy and built up which does not look like a pleasant and healthy place to live. It's easy to believe that future may somehow be similar in the fact that technology may take over humans and take a turn for the worse and transform earth into a dark, grim place. 

The film also wasn't written in a conventional story line. The films protagonist  Rick Deckard is set to destroy the for replicants which instantly makes his intentions negative. As the film goes on we see that some of the replicants like Rachael, Roy and Pris aren't as evil as you would imagine and as the viewer we start to build up sympathy for them. An aspect of  Deckard being a conventional hero is that he ends up in a relationship with the love interest Racheal and does not kill her as she's not a violent replicant just one that is sad and confused.

At the end of the film Roy the antagonist, Roy Batty ends up saving Deckard from falling off a building after the two have a battle off. It made me question if the protagonist was really the hero overall and if the antagonist was really a villan or actually hero.

In the last scene with Roy Batty just before he dies he expresses, 

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. " 

To me this scene shows the viewer that Roy Batty has more human emotion then the actual humans who have wanted to destroy him. Batty also held a white dove (not sure where he got it from!) in his last scenes and i'm not sure if i'm reading into the dove too much but a white dove usually symbolises love and peace. Which Batty may have wanted to leave behind with him before dying.
