"Blade Runner": In Depth Look At The "Love" Scene With Rachael And Deckard.

In Ridley Scotts 1982 film Blade Runner, a dark, controlled universe set on attaining the unreachable goal of Utopia is presented to us.

This poses us, as Rachael and Deckard passionately embrace, what makes us human, what defines our sense of being. This point is arguable, but undoubtedly, the absence of emotion is what distinguishes humans from their better replications.When we first meet...
