Blade Runner Analysis
In the science of studying media and communication, there are many different ways of approaching the subject in which you are going to analyse. That is to analyse advertisements, texts, TV-series, films etc. and other media. My task for this assignment is to give an analysis of a film of my choice. A film is a quite complex medium to analyse; thus it is important to have analysis "tools" or some criteria to follow. In my analysis I am asked to consider the use and resolution of binary opposition and through analysis of narrative structure. In my assignment I am going to consider how the couple is represented, and how the narrative structure and binary oppositions have influence on the plot of the story.The film I have chosen is the old science fiction film noir "Blade Runner". During this analysis, I will use the abbreviation BR when referring to Blade Runner. I have chosen the original version, and not the "Director’s cut"- version that were released in 1992. Furthermore, this is a complex movie that I thought would be interesting to use for an analysis. It is a dark, futuristic science fiction movie, which is said to be "a hybrid of science fiction, film noir, detective thriller, bounty-hunter western and love
