Overall, the light and shading effects in Blade Runner help to enhance the central theme of what comprises humanity’s most defining characteristics. It does so by creating a dark, dreary setting which emphasizes the need to question everything, and not take human nature for granted. As it ultimately turns out, the humans turn cold and machine-like while the replicants begin to feel emotion, particularly hatred.
The point of this film was to make the viewer think about how they define humanity. To reassess what characteristics one feels define the human race, is how I personally responded. This film has reinforced my perception that not all human beings act like stereotypical human beings should, in that not everyone feels finite emotion or cares about anything in particular. Overall the symbolism contained in the added themes of inequality and genetics help make this film incredibly complex as well as intuitively stimulating. The Blade Runner script is well thought out and written, and very intricate, and the acting is likewise decent. This film has become a classic in the world of cyberpunk, for it carries an incredibly film noir feel and evokes a sense of mystery about the future role of genetics in technology and humanity.
