Blade Runner ~ Memory and Identity 1
(She's a replicant)
1. The setting was very dark and mystical and had such a neo-noir essence to it. The room they perform the voight kampff test in, seems to be Tyrell's apartment due to how spacious and grand it is.
We also know that this room they're in is high up in the air suggesting the social class difference between Tyrell and the poor living in the streets.
2. When we are first introduced to Rachael, she is dressed smartly and elegantly and when she speaks, she is witty and smartly replies to Deckard's questions.
3. Tyrell asks Rachael to step outside in order to have a 101 conversation with Deckard. They discuss how Rachael is a replicant and that she doesn't know.
4. Normally, it takes around 20-30 questions to identify a replicant, but it took Deckard over 100 questions to find out Rachael is a replicant. This can suggest how smart she is and how humanised she has become due to the fact she never knew she was a replicant.
5. Upon learning this Deckard replies: "How does it not know that it's a replicant". He duhumanises her by the pronoun "it" and it shows his professionalism.
6. Tyrell says that the motto for his corporation is, "More human, than human". His goal is to create AI better than the human race.
7. Tyrell "gifts" the replicants a past to "cushion" their emotions so they have better control over them.
8. The themes addressed in this scene includes:
* Technology
* Humanity
* Co-Operate Power
* Identity and Memory
9. I believe that by the end of scene, Deckard feels empathy for Rachael but remains professional and believes that his job still needs to be done.
10. I believe that Rachael is presented as a witty and smart but Tyrell and Deckard talk of her as if she is a child and sensitvley.
