This is a movie that was made in the year I was born, but its enduring excitement is far beyond the time of my life

. The work of science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick is very rare to find a well-translated Chinese translation in school. corner of the library where to find the translation of a series of tough to read because the translation of weird
this series of two short story was adapted into two very classic sci-fi movie
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? 1968-"Blade Runner" Blade Runner (1982)
We Can Remember it for You Wholessale, 1966-"Total Recall" (1990)
Later I saw that the English version is not thick novels, I slowly finished reading

him Many plots in the story like to be entangled with logical problems. The logical thinking of the protagonist often takes up a lot of space. I think this may also be the difficulty of the translator when translating. Compared with the corresponding protagonist in the movie, the protagonist in the book has a different personality. Even if you watch the movie before you read a book, your feeling is still fresh,

and then later you find that there are often his short works will be adapted into the movie
Minority Report (2002)
Memory Crack/Blank Check Paycheck (2003) and

above. Like very much

Blade Runner quotes

  • Deckard: [narrating] The report read "Routine retirement of a replicant." That didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back.

  • Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...

    Leon: What one?

    Holden: What?

    Leon: What desert?

    Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.

    Leon: But, how come I'd be there?

    Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...

    Leon: Tortoise? What's that?

    Holden: [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what a turtle is?

    Leon: Of course!

    Holden: Same thing.

    Leon: I've never seen a turtle... But I understand what you mean.

    Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.

    Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?

    Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

    Leon: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?

    Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?

    [Leon has become visibly shaken]

    Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?
