Keanu? Uh oh, is this gonna be another really good movie with two confusing and contradictory sequels to it?

By the way, Keanu isn't responsible for what the writer writes. I'm not mad at Keanu.
He also gives tons of money (TONS)toward cancer research...but you don't hear a lot about it.

I would recommend that all of you (especially you kids who never saw Blade Runner before now) read Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?"

There's been a LOT of speculation about this movie and it's meanings. The unicorn is supposed to mean ( to ME) that Deckard's new life w/Rachael is a fantasy, that she or possibly both of them will be dead soon.
Others say that it means he knows Deckard's dreams, proving that he too is a replicant, in which case, the same applies. I prefer to think Deck's crafty enough to evade capture; that they have at least a shot at some kind of life together.

For a rather in-depth (and fascinating) discussion on the subject, go here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=8&t=9370
It was one of my first few threads here back in April, and we bounced it back and forth, waxing intelligent.
It also goes into the voiceover (which I like).

And, of course you can see why I love this film- and by extrapolation DA and FF!

Deckard and his chief seem to have quite a history together, even if Deckard IS a replicant (very possible) he would seem to have been created before the advent of the four-year life span addition. And since Rachael is Tyrell's special, personal unit, it is reasonable to postulate that she had that particular trait left out of her so Tryell could observe the phenomena of self awareness take hold- indeed Rachael seemed more self aware than others like Batty, she may ALREADY BE more than four years old herself.

In the director's cut, Scott removed the voice-over, added the unicorn dream, to tie in with the origami unicorn at the end, and removed the scene of Deckard and Rachel flying away over the beautiful green landscape.

What the unicorn dream implies is that Deckard is a replicant. The origami unicorn demonstrates that Gaff knows about the dream, which means that it is implanted. This isn't my own speculation, this is from Ridley Scott himself (check out a book called "Future Noir" if you want to know absolutely everything about this movie).

Also, without the voice over, there is no indication that Rachel was "special" and therefore immune from the four-year lifespan.

So, in Scott's version, the movie ends with Deckard realizing that he's a replicant and he and Rachel on the lam, and both probably going to die within four years. In the theatrical release, Deckard is human, and he and Rachel fly off into the sunset to live happily ever after. Quite a difference!

Amazon has the soundtrack on CD. (I had included a link, but it was so big it stretched the screen out, and tinyurl wasn't working. It's really easy to find, though.)

I've had it for years. Have you had a hard time finding it?
