It reaches back to the past and forward to the future trying to synthesize these two imaginary places” This notion of both reaching back to the past and forward to the future‚ can be seen in Ridley Scott’s 1982 Blade Runner. The film although set in L.A. in 2019‚ shows many aspects of both the 1980’s culture and that of the 1940’s‚ when the film noir genre rose

The compartmentalising of ones soul alludes to one of the key paradoxes of Socratic intellectualism.
