Brave New WOrld and Blade Runner
There are many different perspectives between the futuristic world represented in Ridely Scotts, Blade Runner and Aldos Huxleys, Brave New World. ... Despite the fact of being conditioned humans and replicates still have a natural connection to the natural world as is evidently shown through the use of language features and film techniques in both texts. Therefore, the suppression of humans natural emotions and functions, ultimately result in the creation of emotions, thus shaping and reflecting the relationship and understanding of humans within the natural world. ... Evidently, in Brave New World and Blade Runner, such emotions and natural functions are to powerful to deny, as such functions are an integral part of our beings. In Aldous Huxleys, Brave New World the World State reflects a totalitarian state as all humans are conditioned to believe in one orthodox perspective, thus by controlling and shaping the peoples perspective, their natural emotions are oppressed and denied. ... " Therefore in such a totalitarian state, like the World State, were peoples emotions are controlled and conditioned, eventually influence them to disagree with such ideology. This is evident, as Helmhotz and Bernard refuse to conform with the orthodox views of the World State because their natural emotions are to powerful to deny, thus such emotions are innate human qualities, as they cant be completely controlled. ... Huxley gives over a feminist perspective by illustrating the imbalance of female influence in the World State. ... Ridely Scotts, film noir; Blade Runner is a parody, as it revisits the past, mimics it, and holds it up to ridicule. ... " 4 Ironically in Blade Runner, Tyrell is depicted as God as he created all the replicates, thus classifying the state as being totalitarian. ... Ironically in Blade Runner, Ridely Scott adopts a Judeo-Christian perspective to settle the conflict evidently seen when Roy and Deckard are fighting on top of the Bradberry building. ... Therefore, through the utilisation of both Judeo-Christian and Postmodernist perspectives, evidently illustrate that despite the fact of being conditioned and technologically designed, both humans and replicants still have a natural connection to the natural world. In both texts, we see that, science and technology have ultimately removed humanity from the natural world and its rhythms because the natural functions and emotions have been eroded by science and technology or rendered meaningless and insignificant to human life. Therefore, although humans are detached from their natural world, they eventually develop their own emotions because science and technology have eradicated their ‘innate’ qualities, which are too powerful to suppress. Huxleys first chapter of Brave New World vividly conveys a sense of what happens when sophisticated technology, unhindered by ethical considerations rules a society.
