Blade Runner
Enslaving the replicants is completely unethical. Even if the replicants did not completely resemble human beings, like they do in Blade Runner, enslaving them would be wrong. The replicants are like humans not only in appearance but also in their psychological makeup. Their ability to feel emotions and express affection show that they experience pain and suffering as well. Creating a race of creatures like the replicants with the sole purpose of enslaving them is a repulsive act and one that is depicted darkly in Blade Runner.
Deckhard's realization that his memories may have been planted suggests that all memory may be fallible. Even if Deckhard were definitively human, his memories could have been altered. For example, manipulating the brain or using non-invasive techniques like hypnosis makes memory planting or memory manipulation possible.

However, a memory can easily be distorted and are seriously unreliable. Two persons can experience the same event and remember it differently.

The final director's cut, which Scott supported as his ideal version of the story, directly depicts Deckhard as a replicant. A cop leaves the origami unicorn outside of Deckhard's room just as he does to the other hunted replicants. The scene is also chilling in that Deckhard suspects that the authorities have read his mind because he had recently daydreamed about unicorns. The origami unicorn could have been a coincidence, but Blade Runner is too rich in symbolism and sophistication for Scott not to have purposely crafted the scene.

Science Fiction Films On September 11, 2001, many people reacted to the news reports as if these were advertisements for another Hollywood blockbuster like Independence Day.
