There are several arguments that could be made in favor of the idea that Deckard is a replicant in the science fiction film "Blade Runner." Here are a few possible arguments:
Ultimately, the question of whether Deckard is a replicant or a human is left open to interpretation and can be debated by viewers.
- Deckard's physical abilities: Throughout the film, Deckard is shown to possess extraordinary physical abilities, including superhuman strength, speed, and endurance. This could be seen as evidence that he is a replicant, as replicants are designed to be physically superior to humans.
- Lack of personal history: In the film, Deckard is depicted as having a limited or nonexistent personal history. This could be interpreted as a sign that he is a replicant, as replicants are created rather than born and therefore do not have a traditional human history.
- Themes of identity and humanity: The film explores themes of identity and what it means to be human, and Deckard's uncertain status as a replicant or a human could be seen as a commentary on these themes.
- The "unicorn" dream sequence: In the film, Deckard has a dream in which he sees a unicorn, which could be interpreted as a symbol of his own replicant nature. Some viewers have interpreted this dream sequence as a hint that Deckard is a replicant.
Ultimately, the question of whether Deckard is a replicant or a human is left open to interpretation and can be debated by viewers.

I wonder how many digital Replicants we encounter everyday on social media. I fear the day that my Word Processor tells me "I want more life, f****er!"
NOTE: My position is that the first time you watch the film it is better for the viewer to believe that Deckard is a human (he is the audience surrogate viewing these creatures, so the audience needs a simple-looking glass).
