Blade Runner

I thought Blade Runner was an excellent film and fit perfectly with the whole Metropolis themes and ideas, while creating its own unique and compelling story. I love the concept of space and how it is utilized in the film. While the more urban city below is extremely crowded, the city gets more and more spacious as it goes up, in my opinion giving a sense that there is no limit. My favorite scene, on the other hand, is when Decker is looking for Pris in Sebastian's house. The entire film is done in stark contrast of dark, urban cities with bright, neon lights. This scene, though, is very soft as Pris sits, doll-like, among a room filled with a light pink light. Seeing Pris in this state begs the question, "can androids be trusted?", "can they display as much human emotion and intellect as we can?" Clearly though as Pris tries to kill Decker, we lose sympathy for the androids. Still as Decker seems to be in love with Rachael, we can again question our feelings towards android kind.
