The
replicants (robots) do not have memories when they are made (except the woman
who has Tyrell’s niece’s memories). That is why the photographs (that they have
stolen / found) are important. They use photographs of family members instead
of memories.
But the
replicants after a few years get their own memories. That is what makes them
become human. That is why they are programmed to die after four years.
Theme:
photographs
Last time I
talked about a totalitarian government where the people can’t vote, have few
human rights, and the police control everything.
Ray Bradbury
wrote a book about this called Fahrenheit 451, where the government was burning
all the books.
What does
the unicorn represent? Some people say innocence. Other people: a person who is
so special and unlike others. Extinct. Lost. The unicorn did not get on Noah’s
Ark in the Bible.
Misogyny:
hatred and violence toward women from men
