Blade Runner Ambiguity
To anyone out there:
This is only the second time I have written to this forum, so this question might've been asked before. The director's cut DVD of Blade Runner says on the back of the box that it includes newly restored footage that might suggest Deckard is a replicant. I know that this is more of a touched-upon topic in Philip Dick's book, but what I was wondering is:
Is the part where Deckard dreams of a unicorn supposed to be the major implication that Deckard himself is a replicant? All I can come up with is the fact that he has this dream, and then Gaff at the end of the movie drops his little orgami unicorn near Deckard's apartment. This to me indicates false memory implants, like Rachel's spiders or her memory of playing doctor. Am I getting this right? I have not pored over every second of the movie to try to figure this out; I generally only watch the movie about once or twice a year. (Any more than this, and movies start to lose their drama and appeal.) I remember hearing that six replicants were supposed to have escaped from the off-world colony on Mars. One was killed in the attempt. That leaves Baty, Zhora, Pris, and Leon. I guess that leaves one unaccounted for. Since Rachel was Tyrell's replicant, and was apparently already on Earth at the time, I guess that could suggest Deckard was one himself. Also, did anybody else out there like the original, Harrison Ford-narrated version of Blade Runner better? I know I did.
