Which of the following is Tyrell Corporation 's motto in the 1982 film "Blade Runner"?
In the 1982 film, "Blade Runner" (a science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples), starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos, has what pundits have been called a chillingly prescient vision of corporate attempts to control human feelings. The film's setting is one where looming over a dingy, rain-soaked City of Angels the Tyrell Corporation, whose namesake, Dr. Tyrell (Joe Turkel), announces, “Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. More human than human is our motto.”
Tyrell creates robots called replicants, which are difficult to differentiate from humans. They are designed to be worker-slaves – with designations like “combat model” or “pleasure model”. These models are expected to expire after four years of existence.
Batty (Hauer) and Pris (Daryl Hannah) are two members of a small cohort of rebelling replicants; they have escaped their enslavement and hope to extend their lives beyond the four years allotted them. They are replicants who possess fake memories, which Tyrell implanted as a way to buffer strong anxieties. Instead, the memories create a longing for an unattainable future. The machines/replicants want to be treated like real people.
Rick Deckard (Ford), a policeman, is tasked with eliminating the escaped replicants. The greatest challenge to Deckard comes from combat model Batty and the beautiful Rachael (Young), who shoots and kills one of her own in order to save Deckard.
