Blade runner uses different techniques from postmodern such as, 'Flattening of Affect' as well as 'More Human than Human' and has a variety of genres like, Film Noir, Science fiction and Crime.
In 2019, humans have genetically engineered Replicants, which are essentially humans who are designed for labor and entertainment purposes. They are illegal on earth, and if they make it to our planet they are to be hunted down and killed.
Rick Deckard is a blade runner, or a hunter of replicants. A group of replicants make it to Los Angeles to seek out a way to extend their life span. Replicants have a built in 4 year life span, and this group is at the end. Although he hunts them to the end, the replicants end up teaching the detached Deckard what it really means to be human.
It is post modern because of the two realties human and Androids, the Androids think they are human and there are two conflicting views, the Androids and the Humans they film questions what is humanity.
The film is the opposite to to a grand narrative as a grand narrative is Utopian, aiming for the best while Blade runner is set in a Distopian world different techniques are used to get this effects.
