Discuss significance of scene to the film as a whole and identify techniques – Tyrell Corporation – Deckard, Rachael and Tyrell

This context establishes the situation of Tyrell and illustrates his power. The mammoth size of the Tyrell raft implies the complete power of the Tyrell confederation over society. The building is structured give care a Mayan pyramid perhaps representing the similarity between the Mayans and Los Angeles as presented by Ridley Scott in 2019. The Mayans having built mammoth, aesthetically impenetrable cities were forced to flee the cities as vine and jungle took over the city. It was later revealed the Mayans had no agriculture skills and had a privation of understanding of temper. Los Angeles 2019 is not dissimilar. Earth has been drained of its vivid re denotations and left to decay.The scene inside the Tyrell Corporation opens with a full shot of owl eyes. Deckard inquires, is it conventionalized, Rachael answers of course. The reader realizes the true extent of the stylized nature of this society. This confirms that artificial objects have taken over nature first humans and now animals. The owl is relatively indistinguishable from a real owl, raising the persistent interrogative sentence what is natural? The owl is also associated with Tyrell representing his saturnine wisdom.The viewer is first introduced to Rachael and Deckard in natural light this is the first time the viewer sees the natural source of light in the film. The sun can be seen as a metaphor for their real love for one another. The artificial surroundings of the Tyrell Corporation and the origination below greatly contrast with the sense of the natural world the sun is symbolic of. Natural light quickly disappears as Deckard commences the Voigh-Kampff try on demonstrating the artificial nature of the Tyrell Corporation and simultaneously the world below.This scene establishes the position of the Tyrell Corporation and the characters in the film. The viewer realizes the true extent of Tyrells power. Perhaps more(prenominal) importantly the viewer is introduced to the key issue of the film What is natural? and illustrates how the natural and artificial are indistinguishable.Tyrells Death Tyrell, Sebastian and BattyThe scene again begins with a close-up of the artificial owl reinforcing the false wisdom of Tyrell and the question of what is natural or artificial? Tyrells room is also very large further accentuate his power and position. The surroundings are pristine and luxurious Tyrells bed was in truth modeled on the bed of Pope John Paul II. This illustrates Tyrells parity to the role of God and his role as creator.Tyrell is presented as arrogant, smug and exceedingly patronizing, you burnt so very, very brightly Roy. Tyrell is impersonal and cold towards his son in his quest for life he does not offer any intellect or comfort. This is a subtle way Ridley Scott makes the viewer empathise with Roy. tho this is somewhat altered following the brutality of Tyrells death.The method of Tyrells death emphasizes his false wisdom and inability to see the c onsequences of his actions. Roy removes Tyrells glasses before crushing his scull allowing Tyrell to finally see the consequences of his actions although it is too late.The fact that Roy has killed his creator is significant to the overall themes presented in the film. The killing of Tyrell can be seen as representing how man has killed nature (essentially this is creation killing creator) in our own society and emphasizes the complete ending of the environment of Los Angeles 2019 as represented by Ridley Scott.
