Humanity and Heroism in Blade Runner 2049 Ridley
Through Galatea’s Eyes: Humanity and Heroism in Blade Runner 2049 Ridley Scott’s 1982 Blade Runner depicts a futuristic world, where sophisticated androids called replicants, following a replicant rebellion, are being tracked down and “retired” by officers known as “blade runners.” The film raises questions about what it means to be human and memories as social conditioning. In the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, director Denis Villeneuve continues to probe similar questions, including what gives humans inalienable worth and at what point post-humans participate in this worth. 2049 follows the story of a blade runner named K, who is among the model of replicants designed to be more obedient. Various clues cause K to suspect he may have been born naturally as opposed to manufactured. Themes from the Pinocchio story are interwoven in K’s quest to discover if he is, in fact, a “real boy.” At its core Pinocchio is a Pygmalion story from the creature’s point of view. It is apt then that most of 2049 revolves around replicants, with humans as the supporting characters. By reading K through multiple mythological figures, including Pygmalion, Telemachus, and Oedipus, this paper will examine three hallmarks of humanity suggested by Villeneuve’s film: natural birth, memory, and self-sacrifice. These three qualities mark the stages of a human life but particularly a mythological hero’s life. Ultimately, only one of these can truly be said to apply to K, but it will be sufficient for rendering him a “real boy” nonetheless. Although Pinocchio stories are told from the creatures’ point of view, they are still based on what human authors project onto the creature.

The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.
