Brade Runna has been my focus of my attention span and daydreaming for the past week
So i will make convo about it and about its themes
why
because the ideas touched upon in the movie are still used as template for todays and tomorrow's movies and books. When you watch the movie, don't you find yourself feeling sorry for the replicants. A race of beings, artificial or not with so much potential but only given 5 years (or was it 4) to live.
Now 5 years is not enough time to experience the wonders of nature/humanity but these replicants in their 5 years have in roy's words "seen things you people wouldn't believe"
Do you think humanity has a preoccupation with the mundane? I mean we have access to so much data, that 100 years ago would have seemed like witchcraft
now before you say "lol gb2communitycollege" i think we should be able to have a discussion about this. This movie is known for thought provoking themes such as this. spitting on the discussion of it is like spitting on art and higher thinking.
I was listening to some music in the car the other day from my mp3 player hooked into the system and I thought how most people a couple hundred years ago never got to hear great jazz or orchestral. You had to be in person and it cost a good bit to squander money on an opera or orchestra. If a pub like place had music that was the best music you were going to hear.
This isn't just about music though
the tagline in the blade runner story for replicants and the nexus-6 brain is "more human than human"
do humans have a self limitation factor "lol punk music i am my own worst enemy"
(blade runner music spawned this thread)

I am sorely disappointed.
I wanted to talk more about with our society's obsession with the ubermensch (in the physical, not philosophical sense)
I was just watching the Bourne trilogy when it occurred to me - Jason Bourne is pretty much a super-man. He just gets his powers from "30 million dollars" worth of training and conditioning and superior genes and what not. The ability to speak every goddamn language known to man, to drive any car, at any speed, with enough grace to make Michelle Kwan cry, win any fight even with (apparently) any disadvantage, infiltrate any facility and outsmart any team whose only goal is to catch or kill him.
However great he is, though, he's just another iteration of the overarching motif; single man with incredible skill/talent/ability/power. James Bond and Jack Bauer are virtually the same guy (And also have the initials JB...), but the idea is present in every comic book character, every video game, every science fiction or fantasy protagonist (well, most of them).
So why do we care so much about these superhuman characters? The idea that we have an innate fear of mundane-ness appeals to me, but who can say, really.
Also, lol drugs.
