Garrett Dalton-Blade Runner

Blade Runner as directed by Ridley Scott is one of my favorite films. Blade Runner takes place on earth in the not so distant future. Technology is king and the natural world has taken a backseat to human advancement. At this time human beings have the technology to create artificial intelligence and human androids, which are used as laborers on distant planets. These replicants, as they are called, are programed with a lifespan of only 5 years. The film follows the Blade Runner Decker, played by Harrison Ford, as he attempts to locate and "retire" a group of rogue replicants that have escaped and are loose on earth. The replicants in question are searching for a means at extending their 5 year long lifespan. They have no idea when they are scheduled to die only that they have a limited amount of time to live. Though not human, the replicants are in fact more in touch with humanity. The replicants have come to the realization of their own morality and choose to live every last moment to the fullest. They have a greater understanding of life than do regular humans because they have such a limited life of their own.
