To what extent has this point of view been your experience in your study of Transformations OR In the Wild?

Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World both explore the concept In the Wild through different forms.

Both present a dystopian future with a bleak vision of the world.

The selected texts show us an almost eradicated ‘natural’ environment and this challenges our basic instincts as to what constitutes ‘wild’ as well as what constitutes a natural world.

To present their views the composers have established, through the use of separate setting, narrative, characterization and language techniques, their ideas of society and the future. Other common field techniques are satire and irony to impress the view of the future on to the reader or viewer.

Blade Runner presents us with an unruly, anti-hero, a ‘Blade Runner’ – Deckard with lack of set morals and values who hunts down and viciously kills beings that have not only the ability to develop emotions, but have already established emotions and feelings – the ‘Replicants’. Ironically, it is these manufactured beings that possess humanity where as in the real ‘humans’ we do not see this as evident.

Huxley’s world uses Pseudo-Scientific jargon, which is emphasized and satirized with terms like ‘bokanovisfication’.

Language is the device used by both composers to amplify the slow eradication of the natural environment and the continuous development of technology and the endless discoveries of science.

Both composers, to shape the meaning in the two texts, use characterization effectively.
