Bladerunner

    First of all, I had enjoyed the movie very much although some scenes were a little much violence and grotesque. 
    The meanings of eyes can be the symbol of human being, life, and truth. Eyes have been considered as the symbol of truth in many diverse cultures. They always have a power to tell some messages. In the movie, characters seemed like that they communicate with their eyes rather than languages. Although the replicants did not have any emotion, the 6 replicants are able to have the emotion. To tell this emotion, the characters use the eye contacts to send the true messages with their emotions. 
     In the file, the replicates have been created and used as the slaves. As well as, the female replicants seem described as a female only when they try to sexually approach to other male characters. At the end of her article, Haraway says that "I would rather be a cyborg than a godless" (Haraway p.181). Haraway might think that the in the terms of working or being a labor force, it is easier to lose the emotion and being a female. Thinking about "who am I" or "what am I doing" kind of question for the meaningless work as a slave makes the person (or cyborg) confused. It is more simple and easy not to think about those things and just keep working. In fact, in the Bladerunner, the replicants realized that and needed to fight towards human beings.
