So was it the other cop coming after them? Why would Ford help her,was he 1 of them or because she saved his life?? Why did Hauer save him? Was he 1 of them?? so many questions.. or because he knew he would save Young?? Wasnt she a traitor to them though?? She would not live long enough anyway...
shareGaff let them go. But yes, Deckard and Rachel were now on the run at the end, doomed lovers. Deckard helped her because he liked/loved her. As for whether Deckard is a Replicant, this will never truly be answered definitively. Ridley Scott says that he is though and I agree. The signs are all there, the most blatant and obvious one being the unicorn origami he holds up at the end. But this will forever be debated for years to come.

What did the unicorn origami have to do with anything? I wondered about that.
shareIt was misunderstood by naive viewers a s a sign of Deckards dream sequence. Showing that Deckards memories are implanted. Therefor Deckard would have been a replicant. But .... Deckard never was a replicant. So thats just Scotts stupidty that he cant even realize that simple fact and tried to oppress that like a stuborn child. Thats one of the many reasons why the Directors cut is so amazingly worthless compared to the theatrical release.
shareScotts opinion doesnt matter. The fact that he didnt understood the novel which this movie was based on was the reason why the sudio overruled his stupid decisions. And lets not forget that Scott was a clueless newbie at movie directing. He did awesome tv spots and the bvest of that time were made by him (like Apples 1984(. But that was his problem: Doing visual language: The best you can get. Understanding how a postmodern nmovel works: Most stupid person on that planet.
Thats why Warner did most of the directing and Scott did what he could do best: Building the most impressive artifial reality beside Avatar. Thats why this movie became one of the best movies ever. Without this 2 components Balde Runner would have become never a true masterpiece.
So stating what Scott said, is liek stating what the 2nd unit codirector said. Not important at all.
And you are obviiously as clueless as Scott. Deckard was never a replicant an HE CANT BE A REPLICANT. Cause otherwise the whole movie would be trash! The postmodern point of the movie is (an its sooo sad, that you have to explain this!): Replicants became more human then humans! Thats the postmodern message of that movie. That hyper reality became more real then reality (BTW Thats the world we live in since decades :( ).#
So no! Deckard never ever will be or was a replicant. CAUSE HE CANT BE.
The novel is vastly different, there's almost no similarity between the movie and the novel. In fact, in some sense the book has some thematic similarity with Ex Machina rather than Blade Runner. I guess that's why it's called "Blade Runner" and not "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".
I believe Blade Runner should be viewed as a stand alone work and not as a simply a film version of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. It's just too different from the book.
Be sure to watch the Theatrical Release. The voiceover will answer some of your questions.
Jeez, I realized I really LIKE the TR with the voiceover!
Impossible is illogical.
Lack of evidence is not proof.

The voiceovers are an essential part of the movie. Tzhats another thing Scott never got in his brain :) . Its part of the postmodern message. Means we are watching an SciFi movie playing sometimes in the far, far future and what do we get served as a structure? A 40s film noir with the usual detectives voice over :) . Thats one of the cores of the movie. Like all the artefacts of different historical eras laying around at the sets. Like the movie tried to occupy objects of each and every era of human history. But just as a design object and not as a sign of that era itself. So leaving them there as pointless soulless as every subject and object in that movie.
shareYou get the answer why they wanted Ford to take the case and meet with Rachel in the sequel 2049
shareOMG, you dont know why Hauer saved his life?
Cause at the last moments of his own lif he realized how precious life itself is. And by saving the live of hiw worst enemy he became way more human then human themselves. And thats the postmodern message of that movie. That hyper reality became more real then reality.
Thats why this movie is today still a milestone of cinematograhpy and a symbol for the changes in society during the last decades of the 20th century.
