Taking advantage of the fact that within a year Debuts Blade Runner 2, we have decided to upload a video above the differences between Blade Runner and the book that inspired the movie.
Do dream electric sheep androids? is one of the novel from one of the fathers of science fiction: Philip K. Dick. While it is the work that inspired the film, there are radical differences between Blade Runner and the book we wanted to take into account. From the first moment in which Ridley Scott decided to change without twist “Replicants” mental configuration (or androids as called in the novel) and delete the religion with which K. Dick gave sense to the whole universe, the film and the book took entirely different paths.
While both have a protagonist who is a Bounty Hunter (with characters and completely different personalities in both cases), and both engaged in pursuing the new Nexus 6 units, these robots have absolutely nothing to do with androids in the novel. Ridley Scott wanted to give a philosophical touch the desired characters in such a way that you could ask yourself at the end of the film if the Androids had not developed for itself a similar to the human soul.
Or if humans have no soul like the Androids
The question posed by Philip K. Dick in Do Androids electric sheep dream? It is similar to the film Blade Runner, but not necessarily equal. It makes you ask yourself, at the end of the novel itself, or even with that long title and not take so strange to which all the sense, if actually the protagonist, Rick Deckard, is an Android with implanted memories.
But we will not continue spoileandoos the video. Take a look and assess it for yourselves.
