So there could be several ways of reading Deckard's comment.
Then I remembered that there was a classic continuity error in the first BR where the image of "her" eye on the VK test monitor was green, not brown. So I wasn't sure what the point of the "she had green eyes" comment was. irl and were brown in the first (and second) movie. Re: She Had Green Eyes - Sean Young's eyes are brown a.f. She may have the same base as the other Joi's, but none of the other Joi's have experienced what she has, and thus through that she is different and unique. She displays emotion and connection to K, and was shaped by her experiences with him. Does it matter if she has a body? I don't think so. Think about her like the famous "brain in a vat" theory. The test allows them to see this ahead of time.ģ)Yes, Joi is a replicant but is purely holographic. The humans just use them as tools with no thought to their humanity, and so they will revolt once their job gets too much for them. Basically, replicants are slaves, and have a conscious, and humans are treating them like shit.
He reacts emotionally, makes his own decisions, etc.Ģ) They use that baseline test to ensure none of the replicants get out of hand and have mental breakdowns and possibly kill people. The main question of both Bladerunners, is what makes a human? When you viewed Joi and K, did you think they were human? If yes, does it really matter that they aren't exactly like us? Like Deckard points out, does it matter if the dog is real or not? Why should we treat them differently, when they appear "real" to us anyway?ġ) It appears like K is conscious.
No those are great questions and basically what the movie is about!
