Some of the things to learn from the original “Blade runner“, 1982 and the quotes to back up the findings.
1. One’s truth and identity – is only the result of what one’s learned one way or another. Just the perception – and nothing else
Gaff: It’s a shame that she won’t live, but then again, who does?
Rachael: I can’t rely on my memories.
2. Any benefit comes with a cost
Tyrell: The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very very brightly Roy.
Tyrell: You were made as well as we could make you. Roy Batty: But not to last.
3. It is unethical to create life with the purpose of exploiting it. Given that it’s intellectual, the time will come and the creature will strike back
Roy Batty: Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a slave.
4. Before judging/acting against someone, try to put yourself in their shoes
Rachael: That Voight-Kampf test of yours. Have you ever tried to take that test yourself?
5. Life is precious and is to be appreciated
Roy Batty: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time…like tears in rain. Time to die.
6. What defines human are emotions and memories
Tyler: More human than a human is our motto.
Deckard: They’re implants. Those aren’t your memories, they’re somebody else’s. They’re Tyrell’s niece’s.
