I got the same one. I got the same question, too...who?

[plural.livejournal.com]

rutger hauer's
character
in blade runner
the
leader of the
androids

the following
is an analysis of his
character I found on
some crack heads website

[Roy Batty]
[the leader of the]
[renegade Nexus 6 Replicants.]
[Very intelligent,]
[fast and skilled at combat,]
[and yet learning how to deal]
[with developing emotions.]
[He leads a few of his 'friends']
[on what is inevitably a]
[fruitless search for more life.]
[As hope slowly fades away]
[and his friends are eliminated ]
[one by one,]
[it is his experience]
[that carries us through]
[with the question of "what is human?"]
[The "prodigal son" of Eldon Tyrell,]
[Roy returns to his "father".]
[First seeking a longer life,]
[then asking forgiveness,]
[he ultimately destroys his own maker.]

[There is no future for Roy,]
[as his friends are killed,]
[his hope for more life is quoshed and finally]
[his girlfriend, Pris,]
[is 'retired' by the Blade Runner Deckard.]

[After he plays cat and mouse]
[with Deckard,]
[he performs an act suggesting]
[perhaps that he has gained the empathy]
[that is the thin dividing line]
[between the Humans and the Replicants.]
[Showing more "humanity"]
[than the men who seek to kill him,]
[we are left wondering at]
[what exactly makes us human.]

Ah!!!! Roy!

I get it. I feel ashamed, cuz the Director's cut of Blade Runner is one of my top-10 favs.

Hell, I'll take it! I loved his character :)
