Music is important throughout this entire film and features in this scene as an electronic crescendo, the synthesised nature giving a robotic feel. Despite this, the most (debatably) important audio technique, is dialogue. This is massively important because it created contrast between the characters and link to the aspect of character and purpose/the film’s ideas. Many key lines are exchanged in the dialogue of this scene. Tyrell’s character appears to have expected Roy’s visit, as if he was waiting for a father son reunion filled with Roy’s gratitude at being created “I’m surprised you didn’t come here sooner”. He also portrays his ‘proper’ and professional manner through stating “I’m afraid that’s against my jurisdiction” – articulating each word to emphasise his prim nature and how he will not break protocol making him appear more mechanic and devoid of emotion because he would not even break the rules to see his ‘son’ live longer.

Humans cause pain, destruction and issue orders as if they rule the world. In this sense, Roy merely shows being a dictator, and Sebastian the unfortunate civilian, reflected in most wars throughout history such as World War I and II. All of this is in the search of more life, and shows the range of emotions he is capable of feeling, where Tyrell remains calm and in one state of mind. Many films (from Death Becomes Her, released in 1992, to 2012’s Byzantium to 2014’s Dracula Untold) are made surrounding humanity’s obsession with immortality, linking this to Roy makes him seem less like a machine. Tyrell contrasts with this through his opposing description of Roy having done ‘incredible things’. This shrouds Tyrel in a cloud of self-obsession, as he clearly cares
