Showing us the line between replicant and human is not clear cut. Even Deckard the man who can tell replicants from humans has issues with doing so with Rachel. Rachel also gets treated more like a human by Deckard. This is apparent to me when Rachel asks about her expiration and creation date.
Deckard has no answer or at least refuses to tell her, which contrasts his fight with Leon as he tells him how much time he has left. Which relieves her of the curse of being a replicant knowing that your death is near. One example between a human and a replicant that shows the complicated relationship between them is when Deckard and Rachael kiss.
Deckard was about to be killed by Leon, Rachael saves Deckard by using his gun to kill Leon. Deckard is conflicted with what to do with Rachael and ultimately promises not to track her down and terminate her. Then, Rachael is about to leave his apartment and Deckard restrains her and forces her to kiss him.
This scene was a little weird to watch because Rachael looks uncomfortable and wants to leave the situation. She does not appear to want to kiss Deckard at all and when she wants to leave he stops her from leaving his apartment. This example shows a very complicated relationship between humans and replicants. On one hand, Deckard is supposed to terminate all replicants but chooses not to kill Rachael which makes him seem like a good guy.
But then, he forces her to kiss him when she is not ready for it. Rachael believed she was human in the beginning of the film so even though it is possible she wanted to kiss Deckard in this scene, I think she cannot trust her emotions. Witnessing Roy's death changes Deckard, who acts as an enlightened witness.
It transforms Deckard from being a blade runner to being the guy who runs away with a replicant to try to live a life of peace. Parents Home Homeschool College Resources. Study Guide. Previous Next. What's Up With the Ending? Ah, but which ending? Gaff wasn't at the meeting with Tyrell, he never heard about the implanted memories and there was never any discussion of Deckard having such memories, anyway, so how would Gaff know that, even if it were true?
More likely, Deckard told him about his dream one of the times Gaff was driving him around and while waiting for Deckard at his apartment, Gaff created the origami unicorn. There's no reason to believe that he was there for Rachel. Why was Deckard brought in for the Nexus 6 breach? Because the Blade Runner who was investigating the case Holden , who was supposed to be pretty good at his job, got smoked by Leon. So why wasn't Gaff given the assignment? Because he's clearly not thought of as in the same league as Deckard.
Now, perhaps he's more a political hack and boot-licking toadie who wouldn't be all that interested in getting that much action anyway, but the fact is, he and Deckard clearly don't have a "comrade" relationship. They irritate each other, Deckard doesn't necessarily respect him, and Deckard is more highly thought of. Given that dynamic, wouldn't Gaff want Deckard to be gone? Why is Deckard leaving? Because Rachel is in danger, so he's going to spirit her away to protect her. What happens if Gaff "retires" her?
Deckard has no reason to leave, and he's still around, but more pissed off with a serious grudge against Gaff. When tough cases are around, Deckard can be called in to resolve them, making Gaff look useless as opposed to a tough case not being solved by anyone, which doesn't make Gaff look as bad in comparison, because there is no comparison.
Rachel being alive means Deckard leaves and probably won't come back, so he lets her live. This removes the sentiment and generosity factor that you find difficult to believe, which seems reasonable, and makes it about self-interest. Suposition here - because Gaff's character is not explored beyond being an irritating foil to Decker.
Blade Runner is a very dark violent movie, I think it's amazing but its not a happy story. He tells her that if he could, he would marry her. She tells him that this would be impossible, not only because such marriages are outlawed but because androids only live an average of about four years. Their cell replacement simply cannot keep up with their metabolism. Only one - Phil Resch - had been able to continue hunting androids.
Rick realizes the trap he had walked into. Rachael had been sent by the Rosen Association in order to build an empathetic relationship with him. She had done the same many times before. The plan was to build such a relationship so that the bounty hunters would feel empathy towards the andys and no longer be able to retire them.
Rick feels cold, but believes that he will be able to retire Roy Baty and maybe even Irmgard Baty. He is unsure of being able to retire Pris Stratton, however. Rick takes off in his hovercraft with Rachael and, in his anger, decides that he is going to kill her. She tells him that this was how it was with all of the bounty hunters.
They had all threatened to kill her once they realized the trap that had been set for them, but in their empathy they could not do it. Rachael tells him that she has completed her mission and that she knows he will not be able to retire any more androids. He takes her back to her hover car at the St. While on their way they listen to the Buster Friendly show and Rachael is eager to hear the breaking story that is the most important announcement ever on the show. Pris orders John Isidore to bring her belongings from her old apartment upstairs to his.
John goes down to retrieve the possessions and has an overwhelming feeling of happiness. In order to live at all. Pris and Irmgard are more fascinated by the spider and they look at it, wondering why it has eight legs. Irmgard believes that it could function just as well with four legs and Pris takes it into the kitchen where she begins cutting off its legs with a small pair of scissors.
On the TV, Buster begins his big announcement. He tells all his viewers that extensive research has found that Mercerism is, in fact, a sham. The entire Mercer experience was created on a Hollywood soundstage and Wilbur Mercer was, in fact, an old actor named Al Jarry who is now a drunk. Roy Baty seems satisfied that this news will end the cult of Mercerism forever.
