- In both narrative Rick and Rachael have a sexual relationship. Yet the tone of ea. of these relationships is very different. Explore this.
- Mercer and the empathy box have been dropped from Blade Runner. What does that do to this story?
Does the film look like you imagined it? How about the setting? How is Deckard different from what you imagined in this film? How about Rachael or Roy?
The empathy box and Mercer being dropped from the movie made the story less religious. I believe that was done because just like in " Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" our "society" at that time, maybe would not allow movies to portray religion in any way, other than how it should be. The empathy box being dropped allowed J.R to be more open to Pris the android. I feel if the empathy box and mercer were in the movie J.R would have questioned Pris character more, like he did in the story. The empathy box being dropped from the movie makes it easier for us to understand how humans can fall in love or be attracted to androids. The setting was decent, I feel if the movie was made more recently the setting would be much better. Deckard seemed different to me in the movie vs the book. In the story I pictured him as a follower who just takes orders, listens, and obeys. In the movie Deckard was portrayed as the opposite he seemed to be a leader and some what of a bad guy which makes sense because he does kill for a living...

ReplyDelete* I feel as if the narrative shows a kind of strictly business relationship between the two. When they were first confronted with each other, it almost felt like a very cold interaction between the two. In the movie, Rick invites Rachael out to have a drink, in a way that seems more personal than business related.

* I feel like it doesn’t differentiate between human and androids as much as it does in the book.

The film looks a little different from what I thought. I felt like the setting was constantly dark and a little hard to grasp what was what. I think Deckard is different in a sense of his job. He, to my knowledge and understanding, quit his job and when his old boss called him in to retire androids, he was almost hesitant and the boss made him seem like he was a necessity for the job. In the book, Deckard isn’t much of a necessity until his coworker dies and he needs to fill his position.
