Blade runner is a very important work in the history of science fiction movies. Why do you say that?

The movie blade runner is adapted from the science fiction novel "Can robots dream of electronic sheep?" written by Philip K Tick in 1968. )。 Since the advent of movies, there have been more and more movies related to robots and human cloning. Personalized robot characters and politicized clone characters have also become common elements in science fiction movies. Whether the Ghost in the Eggshell or the Matrix trilogy, this dystopian film Cyberpunk can be traced back to the model of blade runner, which tells the story of the eschatological struggle between machines and people caused by highly developed cities in the future.

If you want to say the origin, mary shelley's Frankenstein can be linked. Since the Middle Ages, influenced by religion, people have always believed that God created man, and few people will think about creating life by themselves, or even creating life similar to or even the same as human beings. This idea is both romantic and terrible; This creation is as great as God and as evil as the devil. At the beginning of the industrial age when science began to develop at a high speed, Frankenstein's story reflected a kind of anxiety after breaking the taboo, and it was also the bud of the consciousness of unity of opposites between human nature and science and technology.

Appreciating the panoramic view or close-up of the city in the movie blade runner is slower than the post-90s sci-fi movies. Including all kinds of dirty streets, abandoned houses and gloomy scenes of the headquarters of mega-group, are the reasons why this film makes some people feel "boring". In the early 1980s, it was remarkable to build such a city in the film and render such an exemplary Cyberpunk atmosphere. Contemporary Star Wars, as a theme entertainment film, can only be laughed off, while blade runner is packaged as an action film, which implies the thinking and humanistic care for the theme of this film in the elaborate scene construction, and even an undisguised tribute to Metropolis, another legend in the history of science fiction movies.

The film Metropolis, made by German director Fritz Lang 1927, depicts a prosperous capitalist future with a turbulent bottom, bringing Marxism into science fiction movies. Future cities with high-rise buildings, gloomy underground factories, tense class opposition and even human stories that span classes, people and machines are all standard dystopian settings. Blade runner is more advanced than Metropolis for half a century in scenery, makeup and special effects, but the core of the story is still a highly coupled inheritance relationship.

The story-telling in this movie depends largely on the actors' performances, rather than promoting the development of the story through big scenes and special effects like ordinary Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters. Even in the process of the plot, the arrangement of special effects and fighting scenes is so restrained that it can be called lyrical. This is the highlight of this film, and it is also a controversial point.

In such a sci-fi movie, which was still relatively cutting-edge and unfamiliar at that time, the box office problem can be imagined by stubbornly adding a lot of literary elements and even philosophical elements.

The simple and classic story of blade runner raises a question: What is human nature? When something looks like a person, and its actions and behaviors are the same as those of a person, should we treat it as a person? In the movie, Rachel asks Dyke, who is a blade runner, whether he mistook people for artificial people and whether he is human or not. The answers to these two questions are the ultimate propositions related to the future destiny of mankind.

Who are we, where are we from and where are we going? It is difficult to have a definite answer to this question. Whether human beings evolved naturally or were designed by other wisdom (for example, we designed machines and life), it is obvious that the origin and end of human beings are only a small part of the world. "blade runner" shows this profound philosophical proposition with a typical detective story with little novelty. It has a sci-fi shell, but it has a unique flavor.

A classic genre film may not need much achievement in film art, as long as it has enough inheritance and connotation, and a memorable fragment:

"I have seen things, you humans can't believe it. I witnessed the warship burning at the end of Orion, and I watched the C-rays shining in the darkness near the door of Don wiles. All these moments will eventually disappear in time and disappear in the rain like tears. "

Do robots dream about electronic sheep? As a human being, blade runner is the dream of electronic sheep. Just, I don't know if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly and? What is the butterfly's dream?
