Just to confirm, K went from accepting his role as a typical replicant then finding out that he's special (child of deckard) to only realize he isn't but instead was only used to keep her (Ana) memories, so that she is kept hidden? But unlike Ana, he has exprienced more human life such as falling in love, making decisions, having different emotions, feeling real snow, pain ect.

He wasn't used to keep Ana's memories. She implanted fragments of her own memories into innumerable replicants, all of whom to some degree imagine themselves as special because of the realness of those memories. Effectively, Ana is the mother of the new replicants generation, imbuing them with an ego not tied to fear (a la Wallace) but another of her emotionally provocative memories. She has felt all those things, and by her so do they.
 
So the next movie is the war?

Again, letos character was borderline pointless, imo.

Fck the haters,

Movie was great. Great plot, twists, chemistry, dynamic.

I wasnt feeling the pace but the movie wasnt intended to be aggresive. I feel it was the way it was because of K and the whole self identity.

Question

Just to confirm, K went from accepting his role as a typical replicant then finding out that he's special (child of deckard) to only realize he isn't but instead was only used to keep her (Ana) memories, so that she is kept hidden? But unlike Ana, he has exprienced more human life such as falling in love, making decisions, having different emotions, feeling real snow, pain ect.

Love the connection the audience has to piece together. K seems to b

Ya i dont mind straight forward or typical blockbuster flicks,

But movies like this were you have to piece the connections together and understand were the characters are coming from is what makes it a work of beauty.

the ending was my favorite because i felt that despite K finding out hes not the child of deckard, he also realizes he is "special" and he can be like a human (which was evident on what hes been through )and him feeling the snow just concludes that. and when the scene switches to were ana is feeling fake snow (lol), also shows the irony of a reproduce replicant vs man made one experiencing "real" life.

At least thats how i took it besides K experiencing more life than Ana.

1. I like Joshi, she seems like a sharp, tough cop but was disappointed with her last scene. She already suspects that the mortician/lab guy was killed by Wallace Corp to cover up the existence of the replicant child. So when Luv entered her room, Joshi already suspects that Luv wants to know K’s location. And since Joshi was not going to give up K, she should have known that she would also be killed. Joshi should have drawn her gun from a drawer or something the moment Luv showed up.

2. Luv not taking K into custody or killing him when she abducted Deckard was just stupid.

1. After how swiftly Coco was dispatched, I got the feeling Joshi knew she would have no chance against Luv so her only recourse was to stall her. I think we're not meant to sympathize too greatly with her death; I laughed, myself. That ID scan was too much.

2. He was mortally wounded, and I get the sense she wanted him to suffer the loss of Joi, assuming he would be alone in the middle of the known radioactive zone.

To that point, I've grown from merely liking Luv to outright adoring her villainy. She's super childish.

Considering the box office performance thus far, I really have my doubts about getting a third film. I hope we do though.

Me too. Gosling may prove hard to replace, if he doesn't agree to the next movie, of course...
 
More needed to be said on why they couldn't do what they somehow did. The science (or even lack of) behind the miracle.
 
Btw, guys, maybe you can help me as native English speakers. There is a question I yet failed to answer.
"Blade runner" - does it mean someone running on a blade's edge, or rather someone running the blade through, say, someone's ribs? Or both?

Is deckard the only and first replicant to age and reproduce?

How was he able to reproduce?

I agree with @Dragonlordxxxxx that. . .

It's still not clear if Deckard is a replicant or not. If you remember, when Leto's character is talking to him, Leto says something like, "when you were created . . . if in fact you were created. . ." I can't remember the exact wording, but it was something alone those lines.

It's none of it confirmed, on purpose.

As of now, id like to think that they can, they just never tried due too many reasons.

Why was wallace so obsessed with obtaining Ana?

Did he want to dissect her since she was the only know result of a reproduced replicant?

To my knowledge the title has never actually been explained. But I've always taken it to mean running on the edge of a blade.

Maybe because the job is full of peril and the smallest mistake can mean death?

Agreed. I thought about as well.

We are told that this seemingly impossible thing has happened, but not in any way told HOW it could happen. Then again, maybe that's why it's referred to as a "miracle." Even in the world of the film they have no idea how it could be.

Is this an attempt to leave it up to the audience or setup another sequel?

Lol, first human to impregnate a robot

But why? They are made from dna. 30 seconds on why it was unlikely or impossible. That's it.
