Log Entry #14: 11/16/10

With never seeing the movie "Blade Runner" , I was especially ecstatic that we were going to watch one of science fiction's best movie ever. I've heard from my dad that this was one of the best movies he has ever seen, and that every time he has watched it, he realizes something new about the plot that he previously didn't catch. We started the movie yesterday, and realized in the first couple mintutes that I was really going to enjoy this movie due to many aspects, such as: androids, the future, the technology advancements, and all the thrill involved. The movie starts out where this one doctor is giving a bunch of questions to a person, which will test whether he is an android( doesn't really have emotions) or a human being. With the suspected android not being able to tolerate the questions, he freaks out and repetitively shots the doctor. After the criminal fled the scene, it lead for Blade Runner to come back into the picture and start killing these androids. Not even 45 minutesin,  there has been over 3 killings and violence that happens almost every couple of minutes.  On that note, I honestly don't think this would be the best movie to watch with younger audiences. Although, for the teen to older audiences, this is one movie I strongly suggest. Moreover, I would just like to say I am glad I am not Blade Runner, because he has so many enemies that want to kill him. If I were him, rather than trying to killing the 4 or 5 criminal androids, I would ovoid this situation by running as far away from that area as possible and start a new life (new name and appearance).
As I was watching this movie, many issues started to pop up in my mind: is our world progressively coming to the point where we will have programed machines that roam on the planet with us? Will we have hovering vehicles by 2019 (which is present in the movie)? Will our planet be always really dark and raining?
