SECTION B---BLADE RUNNER: "Can we talk about.....?" Finish that question with NO MORE than a phrase, or you may also add a maximum of one more sentence or question after that. This is not the place for you to share everything you think or know, but rather the place for the class to suggest what we focus on when analyzing the film as a whole or in parts (a scene, a character, a line, a detail...). You may also build upon what we learned in our unit readings, what we've been talking about in class, or past course films. [Film in the singular, in this case.]. *BE SURE TO WRITE YOUR NAME AT THE TOP OF YOUR POST. by Tyke O'Brien

... the "love" scene between Deckard and Rachael? What does it tell us about Deckard and the future of humans if we reach a similar dystopia? What does it tell us about the nature of living and the morality of Rachael's sexual abuse (considering her semi sentience)?
