Blade Runner the movie, questions about dystopia?

Posted on 2009 under Movie Questions

Has anyone seen the movie Blade Runner if so can you help me answer these questions? How do the filmmakers create a "dystopian" environment? What fears and anxieties does the film attempt to arouse?

    I always thought they created the dystopia to create perhaps a parrallel with our prosperity (i.e. the technology we’ve created is incredible but the world has gone to hell).

    The film stirs up anxieties over our advances as a race, our mortality and losing our position as masters of this planet. We know no animal will take our place, especially not in that environment (dystopian).
    There’s already a widespread fear that we’ve shot ourselves in the foot by becoming so powerful etc.
