He's just a man
Or is he?
Yes. Go home, Ridley.
rutger hauer didn't save him out of pity. he saved him because he wanted someone to remember him.
>He saved him because he
Good morning sir!
Isn't that grammatically correct?
Yes
>t. speedwatcher
he did it to prove him wrong, to prove everyone wrong
just a badly programmed replicant
If it wasn’t for the setting, Roy Batty, and vangelis’ score nobody would care about this movie. Deckard is a boring butthole, Rachel is a boring doll, the other replicants have no character, the pacing in some scenes is slower than snail shit.
>if it wasn't for everything in this movie, people wouldn't like this movie!
not the sharpest tool in the shed are you
3 good things don’t make the other 50 bad thinge better.

>If it wasn’t for the setting
Yeah that's pretty normal for genre ficiton
>Rachel is a rapeable doll
>Rachel is a boring doll
Tasteles homosexual
He had just been activated, with Gaffs memories implanted.
Harrison Ford is the most unlikeable uncharismatic butthole who has ever become a movie star. Not one of his characters is good.
This. I never understood why han solo became so popular.
alone
>>no friends or family
he's just like me...
>Replicants who don’t know they’re replicants
>Replicants without the time limit on life
>Replicants with fake, implanted memories
>Replicants who are put to work
>Replicants who need to be told about their jobs???
If you watch Blade Runner and don’t think Deckard is a replicant you’re literally a moron.
homosexual copout opinion
It’s not an opinion. If you watch the movie and miss all the clues that the movie is telling you Deckard is a replicant then you’re unsalvageable moronic garbage.
I didn’t even mention the directors cut which basically says DECKARD IS A REPLICANT in large bold font every chance it can.
>pushes up glasses
>erm but Ridley said so *snort*
>it doesn't matter that the rest of the production, including the... *breathes heavily but cutely* writers disagree with me
>n-nevermind that the story falls apart if Deckard isn't human
>oink oink oink
shut the frick up you homosexual
>the story falls apart if Deckard isn't human
How?
the movie can't be about restoring Deckard's humanity if he was a psycho robot all along
Who says it has to be about restoring his humanity rather than discovering it?
I can understand why a dead Internet chat bot like yourself might find that idea appealing, but here in the real world people are born human
Are you just a mad bookgay?
Blade Runner, specifically “Deckard is le human” autists are very strange, they behave with a rabid moronation commonly seen from /misc/gays.
Because a replicant copying off of another replicant behaving like a human is a far less impactful story than an actual human learning from a replicant who behaves more human than he does. The former is what you get when a fart sniffing writer like Scott takes a solid concept like the latter and tries to be meta about it after getting bored halfway through directing it. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how and why he tried to introduce the idea and everyone (rightfully) called him a moron for it.
In both cases you come to the realization through Roy Batty and Rachel that the replicants are basically human, it's no less impactful. If anything the "Deckard is inhuman because he's depressed and mean" angle the book purists project on movie Deckard is what's being forced here.
The point of the movie is Replicants are more human than the humans. Bryant and Gaff have a steely reservedness that’s inhumane. Tyrell behaves with a post-human, godly dignity. The only ones who show emotion and act human are the replicants, Rachel included.
Deckard doesn’t need to be a human for the story to work.
You missed the point of the movie.
Wrong. The screenplay basically outright says Deckard is a replicant. Try and cope, blowhard.
>You missed the point of the movie
More like you got bored with the solid premise you already had and tried to be a meta moron about it, which would've been extremely detrimental to the oal story had not more competent people stepped in and told you the idea was shit.
>replicants are more human than human, replicants are the only emotional characters
>deckard acts human and emotional
>deckard must be a replicant
congratulations, you are moron of the day
>deckard acts human and emotional
lmao which one is it? Deckard is a human who learns emotions from replicants? Or he's a human who's always been emotional therefore the "human learns from replicants" point made by one of you morons just posts ago is completely null and void?
You guys are truly stupid. You got fricking owned.
the incompatibility of Rick's emotions and the society around him is the central conflict of the film starting in the noodle shop scene
the replicants simply catalyze a personal change by providing a foil to compare his own self against
Aside from any clues or contextual issues, how are you handwaving away the numerous fights with replicants that should have killed a normal person?
It was a shit idea that would've left the meaning of the movie completely empty without a human out of touch with humanity to foil Kowalski, and I'm glad the cast bullied you out of doing it, Ridley.
No, that ruins the story. It should only be posed as a possibility and then disproven.
He's literally me.
to be honest I always found K in Blade Runner 2049 to be more relatable.
Of course you did, incel.
bad character, basically Deckard but without subtlety, they needed him to have autistic breakdowns and a robot girlfriend to signal to the audience he's a """"loser""""" despite being played by a tall handsome white guy
You can't rape a toaster, no matter how much it screams and burns your dick.
You basically named all the reasons why.
to kill the replicants
He killed all of em' but the last didn't he?
So he's a typical male.
He just like me except I don't have a job and don't even bother to drink or do drugs
>Why was he such a pathetic unlovable wretch?
That's the entire point of the story - The robot (Roy) was more alive and compassionate and human than the actual human (Deckard).
Hence "more human than human"
Is the book worth reading? Is it better than the movie?
It's very different.
>better
I liked the movie more, but some people here seem to prefer the book.
The movie transcends the book and is an audio-visual masterpiece. I'd say the book is still worth reading but no, it isn't better than the movie.
Yea, worth a read. It's very different.
