>>7043126>The point and plot of the original (before Ridely's Scotts "what a twist" of Deckard being a replicant) was about the irony of a human having to purely unfeeling and mechanical in retiring machines that just want to live and experience feelings.I agree anon; you're completely right about that.
I'm not sure whether it's been mentioned in this thread, but Ridley Scott also made a really fantastic short film called "Loom"; which is set in the Blade Runner universe in the year 2042. It's very much worth watching for those who haven't seen it already. It's total running time is only twenty minutes, and the entire thing is available on YouTube:
