just wanna know what people's thoghts are on if deckard is a replicant?? i am

thinking he is but then in a way him being a replicant defeats the cental

theme of the movie as we are given no main human character to compare the

replicans with??

 

[possessionless]

well Ridley Scott intended for him to be a replicant.
i think he is.

its left up to your own interpretation, but i have seen an interview with scott where he confirms that Deckard was a replicant

Yep scott wants deckard to be a replicant. But i think harrison ford didnt want him to be one. The whole unicorn sequence was inserted into the Director's Cut as Gaff's parting-gift of an origami unicorn so to indicate that Deckard is a replicant, and Gaff knows this because he knows Deckard's thoughts and implanted the dream earlier involving a unicorn

and also the fact that when rachel asks deckard if he's ever taken the voight-kampf test, he doesnt respond.

It can be argued that it is IRRELEVANT whether or not Deckard is a replicant. This ambiguity actually supports some of the major thematic concerns in the film e.g. 'What it means to be human'.

Personally, Deckard is a human. This works better for the binary oppositions to Roy Batty i.e. human v replicant, hunter v hunted and the subsequent role reversals.

yes but in the final scene of the movie seems that batty is more human than deckard

Indeed. This blurs the line between human and replicant.

Deckard is a replicant. It takes that next step in showing how corrupt the depicted futuristic world really is.

Perhaps the replicants are more humane than the humans!
