While some differences between Blade Runner and Frankenstein are evident the similarities are quite clear. In both works the common theme is the hubris of man and how we try to play god and change nature. One of the main differences between these works is the time in which they take place. Frankenstein is the story of Victor Frankenstein who in his youth and arrogance believes he can play god and reanimate the dead. To this end he builds a giant monstrous cadaver of different parts that he recovered from other bodies, he assembles this and uses lightning to try to reanimate it.
Even though they were produced in two completely different time periods, Blade Runner and Double Indemnity share a substantial amount of similarities. Each film’s use of cinematic elements points towards them following a film noir style of filming. Though Blade Runner’s sci-fi genre does push it towards a more modernized version of film noir, commonly known as neo-noir, it still shares many similarities with Blade Runner. Low key lighting, shadows, smoke, compact spaces, and pathetic fallacy are all classic film noir qualities seen throughout the films. Both films also focus their plots upon the main character's attraction to a “femme fatale”:
What is a hero ? A hero is someone who cares for other people. For example, In the book The Outsiders there are three really young brave kids. Their names are Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally. These three kids were heroes because they risked their lives for kids in a burning church.

The majority of authors or movie writers have one common factor; they have a hero somewhere in the plot. Ask a friend to summarize a favorite movie or book. They could easily point out who the hero or villain is. However, heroes do not only exist in movies or in books, but they exist in real life. Despite our culture’s fascination with Marvel Comics and DC Comics, we most commonly hear about war heroes.
The Outsider’s Main Hero “A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.” (Bob Dylan). The novel The Outsiders has many heroic roles. My definition of hero is not like the traditional hero. A hero is a person who is mentally and physically strong, loving, and puts someone else’s life before theirs.
One of the most important functions of Terminator 2 and Blade Runner within their Science Fiction subgenre is their portrayal of ‘The Other’ or the nonhuman. In this particular case, we are talking about the Terminators and the Replicants and how they are presented in the films. The Terminators are classified as cyborgs in Terminator 2, whereas Replicants are androids which are based on Phillip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. The terms android and cyborg are completely relative to how the films present them and have a debated definition within the sci-fi community. However, the Terminators are machines that are made in the likeness of human beings.
After receiving the full experience of reading the novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and watching its film adaptation, Blade Runner, I could depict many differences between the two.

Though Mercerism was like any other religion, it had various views and was found to be phony. In spite of that, the adaptation of the practice of Mercerism lived on anyway.
