Discuss some aspect of Blade Runner that stuck out to you: plot, pov, characters, setting, symbolism, tone, themes. A few particular issues of interest might be: Much like "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas", Blade Runner is rich with symbolic meaning. Consider commenting on some aspect of symbolism you noticed in the film. Blade Runner picks up on the creator/creature or father/son theme that we saw in Frankenstein, particularly in the relationship between the replicant Roy and his creator Tyrell. Consider commenting on how you see this relationship playing out in the story. The idea of the scapegoat comes up in Blade Runner as it has in our past few stories. How do we see the replicants in Blade Runner as scapegoats in comparison with the creature in Frankenstein and the child in Omelas?
