BLADE RUNNER

•  Artificially intelligence robots used as slave labor, even though they were 'at least' as smart/ capable of humans. Why treat them as less? What did you expect? 
• Calling it 'retirement' instead of execution
• Intelligence test- actually the Turing test: can a computer trick a human? Ironic that a computer is conducting the test
• City is dark and dingy, ads for a "golden land" that is off world
•  "Combat model", "Murder Squad", "Military"
• Robots may develop their own emotional responses, so they input a 4-year lifespan as a failsafe
• Architecture- dark, angular, kind of like the Pyramids
• Have you ever retired a human by mistake? . 
• Most scenes are starved of light
• Empathy test: 
• Sound distortion: we don't know what is reality, who is human. Reality is distorted
• Rachel's experiment: She doesn't know she's a robot. She has implanted memories, so she's a bit smarter than the average robot
• What do the robots want on Earth?
• " If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes" Irony that humans now know less than Nexus, even though they are the creators
• Repetition of listening to the Turing test- he is haunted by the fact that he may kill a human by mistake?
• Rachel is crying, showing empathy as a robot.
• "Genetic designer"- He makes his own friends
• Are all pets manufactured? Are there any other life forms?
• Bar scene: 20's flapper style, candlelit
• Heartbeat noise
• Rachel asked if Deckhard ever took the Intelligence test himself
• Rachel taking her hair down- Deckhard's shirt off = vulnerability 
• "Is that why you are still on Earth?" Upper classes must have left a long time ago
• "This is my Savior"...
• " I think, therefore I am". Machine is self-realized. Imagine being able to do whenever you think! There are little impossibilities
• I think the 4-year, failsafe was a mistake. Once robots realize that they have a mortality, they might do anything to change that.
• Tyrell's house is very Victorian/baroque. No inkling of futuristic design
• Mixing of coding and genetics is interesting. 
• The light that burns twice as right burns half as long
• Sebastian killed his creator- out of spite/anger? Or the fact that he has gone insane and is trying to cope with his inevitable death?
• The 3rd robot dying is almost like an exorcism
• Hunter becomes the hunted
• " Quite an experience to live in fear, is it? That's what it is to be a slave"
• Roy refers to humanity as 'you people' 
• Roy accepts his mortality, but is bitter that his experiences were not shared
• She won't live, but then again, who does? No one can evade death, machine or man, rich or poor
• Unicorn is a symbol of irrationality, which is the difference between man and robot
