Revelation - Eyes - from Final cut

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2007)

I have seen Blade Runner dozens of times and it becomes apparent that eyes are a prevalent thematic element throughout the movie. From Tyrell's owlish trifocals to Leon playing with frozen eyeballs to Pris spray-painting her eyelids to Deckard's photo-focusing computer. When we see the artificial owl at Tyrell Corp its eyes have a yellow glow, like how a cats eyes flash in the dark. In the remastered final cut this glowing flash appears in each of the replicant's eyes, including Rachel's at times - notable when moving from light into darkness. DECKARD'S EYES NEVER DISPLAY THIS. Also I noticed in the final cut Deckard's eyes are OPEN when he has the unicorn vision. This all leads me to actually change my theory that Deckard is in fact NOT a replicant. Wow. I again applaud Ridley Scott for what I feel is the most timeless, brilliant movie ever made.
