Blade Runner 2049 and Galatians Syndrome - What does it mean?


This is a good article by VOX but I think they miss the point of the "Galatians Syndrome" reference in Blade Runner 2019.



"Born not made" is indeed a recurring theme and very much resembles the phrase in the Nicene Creed. In light of this it makes much more sense to me that the Galatians reference was speaking about this passage:

Galatians 4:4-5

"But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.
God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law,
 so that he could adopt us as his very own children."

This passage also speaks of slavery which is a massive theme in BR2049!

Thoughts?

Note: Blade Runner 2049 is rated 14A and has a fair amount of sexual content. Watch at your discretion...
