Rob Hunter<\/span><\/strong> and Film School Rejects\u00a0<\/strong> have posted 30 Things We Learned from Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” Commentary<\/strong><\/em>.<\/del><\/p>\n

Here are three of my favorites\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0It was Scott\u2019s choice to have the opening credits be simply text against a black screen. \u201cI knew my opening shot would be so spectacular,\u201d he says, \u201cthat I didn\u2019t want the titles to upstage them in any form.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

29.<\/strong> He points out a detail during the end sequence with Deckard hanging from a building that\u00a0I\u2019ve never noticed in my numerous watches of the film. Just as Deckard loses his grip he spits at Roy in\u00a0a final act of bravado, and it\u2019s that action, that refusal to beg for his life, that leads Roy to save his life.<\/p>\n

30.<\/strong> Regarding whether or not Deckard is a replicant, Scott is okay with either interpretation, but he himself believes the answer to be yes. He says the expression on Deckard\u2019s face after noticing the origami unicorn outside his apartment door is confirmation. Gaff was there, the unicorn is from Deckard\u2019s dreams, and Gaff would have had access to Deckard\u2019s file which would probably include mention of the unicorn dream implant. I guess we\u2019ll find out for sure in the sequel\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
