Actually, I couldn't understand every conversation when I watched, but I could still receive those cold-blooded,hopeless and lonely emotions in the film. Endless darkness and dirtiness in the street while temporary artificial light and delicacy in the room, which develops a great contrast to our audience.
Whether from macro environment setup or micro details design, this film is successful. I notice a detail related to character's eyeballs in the film. On the one hand, replicant's creator wore a pair of thick glasses, whose eyes are deformed beneath those glasses and finally, as a punishment, his eyes to be pierced by his replicant. Replicant Roy and his lover, their white part in eyes even more than their eyeballs. Further, the expensive owl which only has two empty eye holes and ridiculous eyeballs experiments for replicants' discrimination. On the other hand, Rachael, as a replicant who is implanted memory without knowing her real status, possesses two big, beautiful and storytelling eyes. In addition, When Roy at the end of his life, his sorrowful tears from his eyes in the rain.
There are multiple versions of the end, whether Deckard is replicant or not. I would like to share some of my personal thoughts at here. Firstly, I have read a book written by Haruki Murakami, unicorn in his book is a typical symbol of freedom and goodliness, so I think Deckard's dream also tells us he is looking for his happiness and his love. Secondly,abnormal Roy saves Deckard at the last second and he is full of sadness to express his last memory and feeling, helping audience jump out of action thriller to realize that even a replicant also could have two paradoxical mental sides, so as a human, which is the best way for us to cope with our replicant's problem? Whether it is possible that replicants to be more human while human to be more inhuman? Thirdly, memory is a magic thing. Because of memory, Roy hope he possess his real life; Because of memory, Rachael couldn't receive the truth of herself; Because of memory, Deckard finally finds out his own answer. Even though a person cannot forget everything in his life is torturous, we still need to remember what memories we got from our past experience, and to remember the feelings when we retrieve our memories, our memories prove our existence and our existence is our condition for everything.
