Robots can’t love.

[Rockingham]

Replicants though are biological and can love. The problem is that they are erratic because they are born as adults with implanted memories that do not provide an adult level of emotional restraint and resilience.

“... can’t take my eyes off of you...”

[simpson96]

GMTA. I recalled that melody from You’re Just Too Good To Be True, the first time I heard this.

So was Deckard a replicant?

[Redcitizen]

I hear you’ve gone “Batty” for this song.

I heard from a devotee that the secret of Bladerunner was that the tired, salty cop protagonist was himself also unwittingly an android.

I’ve always maintained that the Vangelis opening credits music sound track for Blade Runner would make the ideal background sound for a creepy an anti-Obama/anti-Hillary/anti-Democrat still photo montage with stats showing the atrocious results of Democrat policies.

Example: pics of the bombed-out formerly beautiful buildings in Detroit with economic stats relating to employment, wages, net worth compared to before and after obama.

Another example would be pics of the aftermath of Muslim terrorism in the U.S. under obama’s watch.

Another example: drunk driving by illegal aliens.

Chaos in the Mideast: ISIS atrocities.

And many, many more examples.

Tagline: “And Hillary wants more of the same.”

Adds like the above would alone be enough to win Trump the election.

I thought so also.

She wasn’t a robot. She was a replicant. And so was Deckard.

Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Greek: Ευάγγελος Οδυσσέας Παπαθανασίου [evˈaɲɟelos oðiˈseas papaθanaˈsiu]; born 29 March 1943), known professionally as Vangelis (Greek: Βαγγέλης [vaɲˈɟelis]; English pronunciation: /væŋˈɡɛlᵻs/[1]), is a Greek composer of electronic, progressive, ambient, jazz, pop rock, and orchestral music. He is best known for his Academy Award-winning score for the film Chariots of Fire, composing scores for the films Antarctica, Blade Runner, Missing, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, and Alexander, and the use of his music in the PBS documentary Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan. After having taken piano lessons from renowned Greek composer Aristotelis Koundouroff, Vangelis began his professional musical career working with several popular bands of the 1960s such as The Forminx and Aphrodite's Child, with the latter's album 666 going on to be recognized as a psychedelic classic.[2] Throughout the 1970s, Vangelis composed music scores for several animal documentaries, including L'Apocalypse des Animaux, La Fête sauvage and Opéra sauvage; the success of these scores brought him into the film scoring mainstream. In the early 1980s, Vangelis formed a musical partnership with Jon Anderson, the lead singer of progressive rock band Yes, and the duo went on to release several albums together as Jon & Vangelis. Having had a career in music spanning over 50 years and having composed and performed more than 52 albums, Vangelis is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of electronic music.

I noted in Kill Bill 2, Daryl Hannah kicked around on the floor a lot like she did in Blade Runner.

Trivia Question:

What is in common with the three films:

Blade Runner

Brazil (about Tuttle)

Atlas Shrugged

(the hint is in the ending)

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Yes, Deckard had dreams of the unicorn. That’s an implanted dream.
