Watched it again the other day, I've always found it extremely hard to follow as a story but really enjoyed it this time. Where do you stand then on Deckard? Human or replicant?

 

He's a replicant, according to Ridley Scott.

Screenplay writer, Ford and Philip K Dick all had him as human though!

 

I think there are more than enough pointers im Scott's vision of things to suggest he's a replicant. It's his film after all. Ford is notoriously grouchy about, well, everything really, but he's on particularly curmudgeonly form in the making of documentary "Dangerous Days". He's probably just doing it to piss Ridley Scott off and be argumentative.

It's interesting because it does actually change the whole dynamic of the film. His relationship witht he replicant and the actions of Roy (trying to avoid spoilers here for the plebs) take on a whole different significance depending on his own nature.

 

I found the theme of the Dick novel fascinating though, the fact that as a human doing a soul-destroying job he was becoming like a machine, but the replicants he was chasing were becoming more human and trying to embrace life.
