I saw the original BR first time round but have very little memory of it; I'm much more familiar with the Director's Cut - which I love. Can I ask a stupid question? - does the original film explicitly refer to Deckard as a replicant? The Director's Cut to my mind doesn't infer that he is, but rather questions notions of memory and identity and keeps things pretty ambiguous. This has always bothered me! Can anyone help?
there is a bit (which i only noticed on the big screen) where you can clearly see dekards eyes doing the replicant redeye thang. Scott said it was unintentional though...
i wonder, seeing as how they're using matter compositing in the sequel will deckards eyes glow? i think its something that has to be answered.
thanks guys; interesting stuff. my own theory is that Deckard is not a replicant, in fact he's all too human. the unicorn dream to me shows he's human, would replicants know what a unicorn is? i see that as a symbol of hope, perhaps for happier, more innocent times, i.e. his own past, childhood.
the 'glowing eyes' i think is caused by the matte composition (precursor to CGI), which is not intentional; but i've read somewhere that actors eyes can show as 'glowing' as a result of using matte composition.
the photos in his apartment aren't that innocuous - they're his only link to his own (real) past; contrasted with the replicants implanted (false) memories. Also the piano motif reminds him of, or is linked to his own childhood. Deckard's character is suffused with such melancholy and seeming regret (though for what i don't know).
The Aliens thread was much more fun than this.
I read the book many years ago and in the book I don't think he was, but it was all about how humans have to hook up to a machine to feel empathy, but one of the defining characteristics of replicants was that they couldn't feel empathy, so it's a catch 22 kind of thing.
As far as the film goes I think he is. I don't buy Scott's line about the eye at all.
Do you have it on DVD? I'd love to see it again but only have it on VHS. I prefer the director's cut - I don't like the voiceover.
yeah, i'm the same, i think the eye scene is intentional and Scott just doesn't want to admit it cause then he's pretty much confirming that Deckard is a Blade Runner
Don't you mean a Replicant? Plus there is the mighty evidense of Ridley Scott actually saying the he is a Replicant.
