24 – Blade Runner – Do You Like Our Owl?
As a postscript to our discussion of Cyberpunk in episodes 20-21, and vaguely looking ahead to the release of the upcoming sequel, we talked about Ridley Scott’s 1982 film ‘Blade Runner’.
We were really winging it on the research for this one and as a result it marks a high point for getting key facts completely wrong, including — the name of a key character (see if you can guess which one!), various attributions of ethnicity, dates, names, places, the ending of the book on which it’s based, and a bunch of other things. Oh well. I edited out what I could… some moments deserve to be lost in time & without any tears being shed over it…
Things we mentioned —
Nicholas Røeg
Peter Sloterdijk's book ‘Terror from the Air'
Dashiel Hammet’s ‘The Thin Man’
Akira Kurosawa ‘Stray Dog’ (again)
Some great photos of the model shop for the film
Caravaggio ‘The Calling of St Matthew’
Antony Burgess ‘A Clockwork Orange’
Richard Jeffries ‘After London’
Yvegeny Zamyatin ‘We’ (discussed in episode 3)
T.S. Eliot ‘The Wasteland'
Johannes Vermeer
Wilhelm Hammerschoi
Jan van Eyck ‘The Arnolfini Portrait’
Vernon Shetley, Alissa Ferguson ‘Reflections in a Silver Eye: Lens and Mirror in ‘Blade Runner’, in Science Fiction Studies Mar 2001, Vol 28 Issue 1
Michel Haneke ‘Caché’
Music and sound effects are from the film.
