Come out of America/US produced
Ie Bladre Runner, although directed by Ridley Scott who is British, is made with US money, US studio, US backing
Compare and contrast Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock) to Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)
Blade Runner
Stars Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer
Music composed by Van Grelis
End dialogue of Rutger Hauer was improvised
Harrison Ford said nothing in end sequence
Roy to Deckard at end almost like talking to a pet, RH superior being OR Deckard doesn't think there's any point reasoning because Deckard's a superior being
Lighting - Tyrell's candle-lit room, natural light contrast with fake/synthetic world to show wealth
Owl watched Tyrell die, similar to cat watching Parker die - typical of Ridley Scott
Never seen Sebastian killed - not showing something can make it much more powerful. Similar to horror in that we use imagination to make it scarier. Also possible to show Roy in a better light, if we see him kill the innocent Sebastian before the redeeming end scene our opinion of him is negative
Deckard is morally ambiguous character - almost antihero, similar to Roy, connoting end scene
Dominant Asian culture encourages dystopian viewpoint - alien and scary for western world
Deckard's apartment seems claustrophobic, no wide shots, just bits
Only strong colours are neon - human-less
Dystopian future - something bad has happened
