OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Blade Runner Makes Empathy an Identity Test
The premise is powerful because humanity becomes testable procedure. Questions, pupils, stories, and hesitation make identity an institutional measurement problem.
Why it works
The Voight-Kampff scenes dramatize worldbuilding as pressure. The test does not only identify replicants; it destabilizes the authority of anyone claiming to know what a person is.
