One of the (many) talking points I've come across while reading Judith Kerman's, Retrofitting Blade Runner book (Wonderful), is many people for some reason insist on viewing Deckard's tough, emotionless persona as strongly suggesting he's a replicant. Ridley Scott may well have wanted or meant for Deckard to be a replicant but HE DIDN'T KEEP THAT STORYLINE IN.

'Man is but the dream of dolphins' - Enigmaġ996.02.12 09:28 Leo Horishny No, NO, NO!! Both Mark and Arnold, while you're certainly entitled to feel that Deckard was or should be a replicant, you're both missing an important point.that is, the movie we all enjoyed and are discussing does NOT imply that. The question has been answered by Ridley himslef. And all that happens at the end is that Eddie Olmos does the exact same thing to him.' So for those of you who have been arguing about this whole concept. One is talking about private thoughts and how no one can know but yourself, and he proves to her that she's a replicant by revealing her private thoughts, which he knows because he looked in the file. He proves this point by telling her little things she may have remembered as child, which strikes a chord. They are thoughts put into her mind by the Tyrell Corporation. Prior to that he has a scene with Sean Young and he talks to her about her own private thoughts.

And he snaps out of that reverie and gets on with the scene.

He has a kind of daydream, either alcoholic haze or whatever, and the daydream is a beautiful green park and misty lake, and the unicorn gallops by. Now, you then go back into the film where Deckard was looking at all those photographs on his piano, and he was a little drunk and he was playing the piano he's staring at all this history. It's all subtext, but by the Olmos character leaving the origami unicorn-Deckard stoops and picks it up, and if you watch him, he stares at the unicorn and he imperceptibly nods his head in agreement. And if Deckard was in fact a creation of the department, then it would be in the file. And it's only Eddie Olmos who could know that dream from a file on Deckard. Because he hated Deckard, he couldn't resist leaving his calling card, which confirmed to Deckard one of his private dreams, which was about unicorns. Therefore he had clearly visited the apartment of Deckard and decided to leave her alive, because he was a departmental, bureaucratic perverse character. That was one of the reasons behind having Eddie Olmos in the film as the visitor-wherever he visited, he left little pieces of origami. 1996.02.08 19:13 Arnold Deckard IS a Replicant In 'Mr Showbiz' Celebrity Lounge' in an interview with Ridley Scott, the question was posted and this, in his own words, is Ridley Scott's reply :'As it was really a film noir, the ending of film noir tends not be 'And they lived happily ever after.' I think the director's cut, which represents the film where I wanted the film to be when we released it, was to infer most definitely that Deckard was a replicant.
