Blade Runner

Similar theme to Minority Report. And, similar to Minority Report, not listed on the Wikipedia page of themes in the movie. the "overview" section of the Wikipedia page of the themes of the movie currently does mention a few things related to my experience of themes in the move.
*"is that part of the test?" feels like some kind of breakdown of simplified comprehensible world
*trying to tell the difference between human and replicant
*the test no longer helps (or something?  Deckard knows from the test that Rachel is a replicant, but I always thought that the test was now obsolete and useless for some reason...), felt kind of like the death of all epistemology (especially if your own memories can be manufactured, see Last Thursdayism), the technology to fool outraced the technology to prove. The solid ground underneath epistemology vanishes, leaving humanity treading water in an endless sea.
*eyes. eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes.
*puns
*scene where Deckard enters the "toy room" (this part also brilliantly hits us with our place in the universe as physical objects, the difference becomes unclear, and the most animated thing on-screen is clearly more toy/object-like), looks at Pris, unable to tell if it's a toy or a replicant, even when he's looking right at her, unsure. This brief moment is absolutely sublime. Surreal. You really feel the crucial fact of interpretation, and the problem with it, to the extreme. Or something. (Even perhaps, the "veil of ignorance"...oh and he lifts a veil off her! ...and still remains ignorant!).
*might even tie into the losses (of knowledge, even) caused by death, untethering even more from a firm assurable "view" of life, to something almost "solipsistic", other minds being a mystery and unreachable, trapped in them(/our)selves
downpour of detail. drowning in the world of Blade Runner. even the incomprehensible title is deeply of that world, rather than our own, i love it. [it's "endogenous"?][admittedly, my history with not knowing what the title meant, mixing it up with logan's run, and then somehow being convinced or misinformed that it was a historical term in the united states or elsewhere]
so much besides the main story, world gazing, ambiance. so much so that the story itself feels obscured and hidden behind so much other stuff. i think a first time viewer would have a hard time recounting the steps of the plot, even immediately after watching the full film, even though the story is very basic and straightforward. it's the opposite of cleaned up, simplified, streamlined. because or despite this, it's really great. it knows what it's going for. [i even think the use of rain, crowded streets, and various kinds of lighting is related to this, along with emergent interaction stuff, see below. also, the thematic use of memories and photographs]
perhaps the ending shows this too. the music picks up, and this almost feels like it should be the start of a story. So it's kind of as if everything we've seen was just "background". and there is no end, it will just continue. feels quite alive, i think. full of possibility.
idiosyncratic detail, fashion
perhaps "fantasy" art direction, not starting from an attempt to be totally realistic
---even what i'd call impressionism. no coherent metaphysics. replicants are simultaneously biologically indistinguishable from humans, but super advanced/strong, and even depicted as "robotic"/mechanical. this is fine, no need to think about it, it creates an experienced impression that only later (as with a dream) do you realize doesn't make sense. i think that's a great type of art. incoherence is perhaps aesthetically similar to other things in the movie with multiple interpretations [see above, test, veil], maybe thematically related to puns. and i don't believe it's random thoughtless incoherence, it's almost symbolic, it's meaningful. again, see the toy room scene which also mixes humans, replicants, toys/machines, and even inanimate mannequins. it's really good.
emergent interaction stuff [blood in drink, the whole scene where Deckard in his car says he's a friend of J.F.] these are quite stimulating, and i think fits with other things
