What it means to be human ...



Blade Runner, a commercial flop in theaters but a masterpiece in reality. delves into the existential question of what it means to be human, a question asked by so many starting with Homer and the Greek Myths to Shakespeare, Faulkner and Camus. My dear friend D, a film savant and superb documentarian turned me onto this clip as it does answer the "existential" question of whether Deckard was a replicant of a different kind, along the lines of his lover Rachael.



Camus would relate to Roy Batty's Tears in Rain monologue without question.
