[9] Blade Runner and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?



I feel that if we didn’t read “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” we would have been confused about the movie. I think it was a good idea to make the movie less religious, and move away from the empathy box and mercer. The reason because it helps us focus more on the androids and the bounty hunters rather than people stuck following the same thing over and over again. The tones of these relationships with Rick and Rachael are both very different. In the book, we see it as oh my god he’s cheating he’s a bad person, but in the movie, since the wife isn’t mentioned at all, we see it like aww he has feelings for an android, maybe androids aren’t as bad as people see them. The film does look like what Imagined it to be. More of a futuristic setting, but it always seemed to be dark. No sunlight ever showed throughout the movie.
