Blade Runner 1

Blade Runner is a science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, released in 1982. It is based on the novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' by Philip K. Dick.

The main characters in Blade Runner are Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, Roy Batty, played by Rutger Hauer, and Rachael, played by Sean Young.

Blade Runner is set in a dystopian version of Los Angeles in the year 2019. Rick Deckard, a retired Blade Runner, is tasked with hunting down and 'retiring' rogue replicants, human-like androids.

Replicants are bioengineered androids created to serve humanity on off-world colonies. They are virtually indistinguishable from humans, but they are not permitted to live on Earth.

The 'Voight-Kampff' test is a psychological examination used to distinguish replicants from humans based on their emotional responses to certain stimuli.

The appearance of a unicorn in Deckard's dreams and later finding an origami unicorn left by another character suggests that Deckard himself may be a replicant.

The question of whether Rick Deckard is a human or a replicant is intentionally ambiguous and left open to interpretation. The film raises hints and clues but does not provide a definitive answer.

The 'Blade Runner curse' refers to the unfortunate incidents surrounding some of the cast and crew after the film's release, including accidents, premature deaths, and other tragic events. However, it is largely attributed to coincidence.
