Paper Summary:
This paper will explore elements of Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner' in light of Umberto Eco's theories of cinema's "common language" and the intertextuality of film. It will be argued that to fully understand 'Blade Runner' it is necessary to situate it in the context of the cinematic genre of film noir. Given the extent of the movie's "debt" to the "common language" of film noir, Blade Runner can be seen as a postmodern film noir; the product of a "metasemiotic culture" in which innovation is achieved only through re-visioning the past.More papers on "Blade Runner":
