Blade Runner : Wilbert Hill Jr.

Blade runner is a film that is full of symbols. We are first introduce to the doctor who has created the replicants and is talking to Rachael, who is a replicant but thinks she is human. Rachael does not realize that she is not a replicant. As Dekkard gives her the replicant test, the technology that is presented in the film focuses on the eye of the actual person being tested. Many people say if you look a person in the eye you can look into the depths of there soul. This test would examine to see if the person was real or a replicant. This test also focused on eye movement and when the pupils dialated and when they, lost focused as well. In the end Dekkard realized through a series of many questions that Rachel was a replicant.
I really liked this movie it had a lot of Bilblical nuances and metaphors within it. I really enjoyed the the part when Roy tells Dekkard, "how does it feel to be enslaved", because as a replicant he was free from the worries of this world, but Dekkard was trapped by the anguish and tormoil of this world by not having freedom and liberty within his soul; Dekkard was control by fear, and the replicants were seen as an example of a person that is truely living a faith base life of freedom.
