Is the Movie BLADERUNNER a tragic or even a pathetic meditation on the futility of human life.As Roy Batty states it:
'..
washed away like tears in the rain.'
Sebastian is aging faster than normal because of a glandular disease.
The Replicants are aging because of their programmes.
Death seems to limit, define and terminate all human endeavors.
Is there a 'lesson' to learn in this movie?
Is that the lesson?
And does anyone know where that white pigeon comes from?Sebastian?

yes indeed, death is a truth superseding every reality when it knocks at our doors. man should realize that what ever he did or has been doing in order to achieve anything his heart desires is going to be immaterial at the end, that is, like one's tears in rainfall.
ReplyDeletehowever, it's the desires that seem to drive the human race and accounts for what it is and hence another question here is how to deal with them??
Death is surely inevitable. But it is not for us to decide who dies and exactly when. Its the work of nature. Roy knew that he was artificial so he believed that maybe he could be saved from death. So he pursued his maker to find out. And then when he was told that it was impossible, he couldn't do anything about it and took it like any normal man would. Of course he left a lot of destruction behind him but it was all because of his anger.
ReplyDeleteObviously, anyone subject to early death would be angry of the unfairness caused to them. Its because they have so many memories but they won't be able to cherish them. Or make new memories to e cherished.
