"The Blade Cuts", Starburst (UK) no. 51, November 1982.
McKenzie: Are you disappointed that the references to Deckard being a
replicant are no longer there?
Scott: The innuendo is still there. The French get it immediately!
I think it's interesting that he could be.
Because if we all now start to massively believe that Deckard is a rep, the movie looses a BIG part of it's magic.
I sometimes wish that Ridley had filmed a final scene that shows Gaff returning Deckard's 'file' back to the vaults in the Tyrell Corp building. That would leave us in no doubt about Deckard's replicant status.
But whem Mr. Director walks in the hall after 20 years and without wink says he's clearly a replicant, it's neither funny, nor interesting.
You would assume throughout the movie that Deckard is human - you'll feel for him and want him to succeed. You care about him as a fellow human being. Then when it's all over you realise you've been cheering for a Replicant; an artificially created being.
