Secrets of the movie
| The
meaning of the Unicorn: |

The
end of the film was modified from the studios. Scott wanted to
conclude the film with the scene of Rachel and Deckard that enter
elevator, but the studios decided that the film required of a
final more "happy", less ambiguous.
The aerial pannings used in the cinema version of the 1982 had
filmed from the film of Stanley Kubrik "The Shining" (in which,
for pure coincidence, recited Joe Turkel, the Tyrrel of BR).

In
the September of the 1992 the Warner Bros. produced and commercialized
the "integral" version of Blade Runner, called "The director's
cut", from which has been eliminated both the teller voice out
field and the cheerful end, but in which there is more a scene
in which Deckard dreames an unicorn. The addition of this element,
apparently meaningless, really bring a big change to the film.
In fact, when Rachel and Deckard leave the apartment of Deckard
at the end of the film, she bumps against a origami with the form
of unicorn.
The unicorn is the last of a series of complete origami figures
that Gaff uses for provoke or take Deckard around. In the office
of Bryant, when Deckard insists telling that he is been retired,
Gaff builds a hen: "you are afraid of doing it." More ahead Gaff
builds a man with an erection: "you are attracted from her." And
at the end the unicorn, for making Deckard to understand that
he decided to leave it live. However connecting this element to
the dream of the unicorn, it could be deduced that Gaff knows
the dreams of Deckard, as he knew those of Rachel, therefore Deckard
is also a Replicant.
In the classical version instead, Deckard could not be a Replicant
because doesn't appear the dream that link him to the origami.
An other interpretation for the unicorn is that Gaff wants launch
a challenge and capture them together.

The
concept of immortality contains obvious associations in the
comparison to distance between Tyrell and Roy. The game of chess
represents the struggle between Replicants and humans: these
considers the first like pieces to remove. The Replicants (pawns)
tries to become immortal (a queen).
From another point of view the play between Tyrell and Sebastian
represent the hunt, the pursuit of the Dr. Tyrell from Roy.
Tyrell commits a fatal error in the game of chess and another
fatal error in the try to reason with Roy. In fact will be brutally
killed come from him.
