Blade Runner

        Blade Runner is yet another distopian future movie that uses its dark lighting and scenery to invoke a very dreary and foreign feeling to the movie.  All of the costumes, background, and overall props in the movie are all dark, the music is always heavy with a slow moving tempo. All of which depict a very eerie movie. I found the close up shots and use of silhouetted lighting also very interesting, such teqniques further proogated the mysterious feeling. Such amibiguity was most evident in the replicas and harrison ford. In such cases half of the actors face was often siloeted by light. Such ligh focus bring attention to the character but more importantly highlights the possible two sidedness of the character.
      It is for this reason and a couple of others that i feel that Harrison Fords character is a replica. To begin with in the beginning of the movie, the creator of the replicas is oddly fond of Ford, despite his profession of killing off his creations. Furthermore he is very inquisitive about how he can tell if one is a replica or not. Lats form this particular scene the creator mentions that he was able to implement fictional memories into the replicas brains. After this discussion, the conversation is dubbed into the soundtrack on occasional times. On all occasions Harrison Fords character is looking perplexed, heavy in a deep state of mind. When he returns from his visit with the creator,  he plays the piano while looking at some old insignificant pictures of his family. The odd assembly of them makes the pictures feel more trivial then sentimental. Lastly his interactions with his love finalize my belief. She at one point asks Ford if he had ever tested himself. There is an awkward pause in the movie following the comment. Lastly the parallels connected between the two are more than just coincidental. Both play the piano and are obsessed with the old photographs of their family.
     Aside from Harrison Fords replica like character i found it very amusing that all of the replicas function better and more normal than the humans in the movie.Although they were all interesting and they individually seemed to be more developed and carry a greater persona than most other characters( not Harrison Ford). Regardless of my feeling the over all creation of this movie is very ambiguous and leaves many questions answered.
