I watched it recently on the big screen, in a public venue. The kitchen scene was truly disturbing.
What worried me most was that for so many years people may have taken it on face value - in that the depicted sexual violence was somehow acceptable.
I’m not sure the thought behind the construction.
Difficult questions:
Can you rape a robot?
If a robot passes for human, surely his actions are no different than those of a rapist.
Is the violence his attempt to see if she feels anything?
I think the sex and violence overlap.
He kills replicants, she’s the latest version of his enemy. etc.
Still, the damage in some way is done. It’s sexual violence against a female form.
And then it’s art…. and we open another door of critique.
Best wishes,
Great read, thanks
