<BR>No offence but Ridley's opinion means jack in the BR world. I think there is no right answer it is all the eye of the beholder whether he is human or not.

<BR>I dunno if it is more evidence or not but when Deckard sees a real animal he is shocked and moves out of the way looking at it's wonder, no replicant would do that. This is only explained in the book.

<BR>Darn Rights! But I think we are forgetting one thing, who wrote the book? Not Scott, he made the movie, but not the characters! If Philip K. Dick were still with us we may have a verdict.

<BR>Thing is, PKD *did* express his opinion before he died, as reported in Future Noir, and as I have already stated in this thread, PKD recognised that Scott had gone a different way with the nature of replicants in general to the way he had gone with androids in the book *and* he was okay with that.
<BR>
<BR>So no, the book is not relevant. The question is about your personal feelings on the *movie*.
<BR>
<BR>My personal feelings are that Deckard is Human. But I already said that last year...

Hmm, can't obe vote for "ambiguous"?
<BR>
<BR><IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
<BR>
<BR>Seriously, the film just left me with a big question mark on to the nature of his being. So, my vote goes for "asexual"! <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
<BR>
<BR>BUT, if I really had to choose. If I had a gun pointed at my head, I would vote for "rep", as I like that twist that would provide for the story as well as the themes it raises.
<BR>
<BR>Human: 20
<BR>Rep: 14
<BR>
<BR>Although, if I had it my way, it would be like this:
<BR>
<BR>Human: 20
<BR>Rep: 13
<BR>Asexual: 1
<BR>
<BR>Yes, I know the term "asexual" would not apply, but hey, I find the term amusing when applied to anything.
