GITS Script Reading and Analysis Series: “Blade Runner” — Dialogue

Scott Myers

21 Oct 2011 • 1 min read

We wrap up our week long analysis of the script Blade Runner by considering its use of dialogue. There are the standard set of questions:

* What do you consider to be the most memorable lines, either good or… not so good? Why did they work — or not — for you?

* Any notable callbacks (a line used once, then used again later in a different context)?

* How about set-up & payoffs?

* Any exposition that caught your eye for being handled exceptionally well?

See you in comments for a discussion about dialogue in Blade Runner.

For Day 1 of our analysis, go here.

For Day 2 focusing on structure, go here.

For Day 3 focusing on characters, go here.

For Day 4 focusing on themes, go here.

[Remember next week (10/23–10/27), we will be reading The Thing, your choice for the Horror genre. You may access the 1981–03–04 version of the script here.]

NOTE: THIS SERIES AND THE USE OF SCRIPTS IS STRICTLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES!
