I dunno, I got sort of the same vibe as I later did with "AI," that everything that happened was in some ways designed as a test. Obviously he's a replicant, or at least there's plenty to support that hypothesis; the ambiguity is why they let him go.

deckard's replicant ambiguity is probably the least interesting thing about blade runner
― flagp∞st (dayo), Friday, 2 March 2012 16:44 (fourteen years ago)
i figured he was a creation like 'rachael', but put into life maybe decades before. it's probably the reason he was such a good detective, and may have been made exactly for that. but his own batty-esque story of irrepressible humanity happened years before the movie begins, when he had had enough and quit the force. batty knows what he is and knows how little time he has left, while deckard is in a fog of depression and indecision like every other human. so is he more human or less, for not knowing? idk i could go all day about this.

Deckard was created five minutes before the opening of the movie and deposited at the noodle stand

well that's my theory blown
― goole, Friday, 2 March 2012 16:53 (fourteen years ago)
I like yr theory goole
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 2 March 2012 16:55 (fourteen years ago)
Not a bad theory, but Deckard is the ultimate unreliable narrator. He may as well have been created five minutes before the movie began.

i love when the camera holds on that cup for a split second, like not in an obvious way but almost letting it linger so it subconsciously registers are crucial.

plus there is the rhyme with the earlier scene where he gets a feel for gregor's reflexes using coffee
― goole, Friday, 2 March 2012 19:34 (fourteen years ago)
we could create a series of coffee mugs. "the gregor" and "the spence" and "the sam"
