Re: Deckard -- Replicant or Human: Would the film be better?

Sure He has doubts... just to add more philosophical meaning... Are men humans anymore?

In the story another blade runner runs V-K on Deckard, just because He's not sure about it... That solves everything I would say.

Being a literature teacher I believe that if Deckard were UNdoubtedly human, the tale would have felt a bit less interesting...inserting doubts and uncertainties is a clever strategic writing stratagem to stir things up.

I disagree completely. He who has the intellectual property of the story and came up with it first is right. Sure You're free to take someone else's work and change stuff (IF the inventor doesn't sue you) but the father of the idea "dictates" what is true and original and what isn't.

Sure You can get Hamlet to call on Schwarzenegger and terminate the King of Denmark and love it (i would), but the original one is the TRUE one.
