Blog Assignment: If only you could see what I have seen with your eyes...



By Friday of this week, please write and post a 300-400 word post in response to the film Blade Runner. To make this blog post of maximal use to you, please write about connections you can make between the film, Frankenstein, and RUR. Even more specifically, see what connections you can make with regard to your essay topic. That way, you already have part of your essay in a draft form via this assignment.

And, whether it fits into your topic or not, please spend at least one short paragraph responding to Roy Baty's decision to spare Deckard. Why did he say what he said to Deckard about living in fear, to be a slave, and the memories he has but which will disappear in time like tears in rain? Why did he spare him? How does this final major confrontation shape your interpretation of the film as a whole?
