Blade Runner Project

 

    Our idea was to create a collage with layers separating and classifying characters into specific groups in order to put the characters in certain perspectives to reveal certain themes throughout the film. We put Tyrell in the center because he is the creator of the replicants and the creator of this battle between humans and replicants. He is the pupil because we view him as the source of the central conflict of the film. We surrounded Tyrell with the replicants because he is their "father" and we shaded them in red. The red iris represents how the replicants eyes would glow red throughout the movie, and we also shaded the replicants red to represent the evil the replicants are capable of. They became violent beings because they were forced to live in the human world restricted and with an expiration date. They are very capable of evil, and show this while being hunted by Deckard. We placed blade runners, police officers, and Rachel on the outside because they were seen as the "good" characters. Deckard eliminated the "bad" replicants, the officers also helped control the replicants, and Rachel is a replicant, but is seen as more human. Rachel is programmed to feel more human emotions, and chooses to peacefully live amongst humans and not demand more life. Her emotional complex is different from most replicants because she is programmed with memories, making her more human. She also is the only replicant that does not get retired in the end. The tears coming from the eye represent things that Roy has seen, like he says in the quote. The rain drops shows that all the things he has seen and inner thoughts he holds get washed away completely once his time has come and he dies after his four short years of living.
