Blade Runner
Spoilers forBlade Runner 2049 .
-
far-famed comic author Mark Millar has come up with an intricate possibility aboutBlade Runner 2049 ’s ending that completely changes the photographic film . The sequel to the 1982 classic has receivedrave reviewsand despite only being on release for a matter of days has already stirred up plenty of debate , especially when it amount to the ending .
In the conclusion , Ryan Gosling ’s K ( a replicant Blade Runner ) pull through Harrison Ford ’s Deckard from the hold of villainous CEO Niander Wallace and allows him to reunify with his long - alienated daughter . K dies in the snow as " Tears in Rain " plays a la Roy Batty and Deckard finally gets to see Ana Stelline , the earth - breakingchild of him and replicant love - interest Rachael . Most readings of the moving-picture show take it as an underscoring of the musical theme of identity , but Millar thinks something dissimilar .
Writing in the forum of his site , Millarworld , Millar posits that the film ’s final scene transition , from K in the nose candy to Ana in her brooding chamber creating memories of snowfall , is the key fruit to a big braid : that none of the previous story demand K actually fall out and that it was all a imitation storage implant into Deckard ’s mind by his girl in an endeavor to get them to reunify . This would seem to answer the long - standing question of if Deckard is a replicant - he is - and take a crap the entire film one of don - daughter compassion .
Millar ’s grounds add up mainly from themes , but he does discover some clues : Joi watching the rain fall through her is mirrored in K with the snowfall later ; K ’s assume name is Joe , which can be portmanteaued to Joke . He also cites Denis Villeneuve ’s meticulous directing style as a test copy of deeper signification .
However , while it ’s a powerfully delivered argument , there are several glaring problem . It think the majority ofBlade Runner 2049 ’s 163 - moment tale is actually about nothing much of substance , taking K ’s spirit - giving sacrifice and make it something self-governing . Neither does it account for the time K directly facilitate Deckard out in the plot ; the only get around is that the definition is so obscure anything could have happened . It also requires the enjoyment of a hitherto unheard of engineering - being able to constitute memories remotely in combat-ready replicants - which is a fairly large leap .
If this is an intended reading of the film by Villeneuve , it ’s most certainly an alternative one not ask to be agnise by many ( see also : the theory thatThe Prestigehas no factual magic ) ; aside from the crosscut between the blow - which could be include to represent a more ethereal connection between K and Ana , perhaps connect to their share retentivity - there ’s no direct entry dot . That order , Millar ’s notion that the whole movie was actually about love is share with the more standard reading ofBlade Runner 2049 , so at the very least it thematically lines up with the director ’s vision .
