I would argue one of the most complex and dense scenes in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is the finale, where Deckard notices an origami unicorn, picks it up briefly to look at it, smirks, and turns to leave with Rachael down the elevator. The origami is a motif used throughout the film by the character of Gaff, a fellow blade runner. Near the beginning of the movie, when Deckard is protesting his return from retirement, an origami chicken is folded by Gaff. Fear: you’re not ‘man’ enough to do the job. Later in the movie when Deckard is conversing about Rachael, Gaff shapes a man with an erection out of a match stick. Lust: you’re attracted to a replicant. What is Gaff trying to say to Deckard with this enigmatic message? Perhaps Gaff is pointing out the illusion of his romance, implying that Rachael is doomed to a drastically shortened life due to her termination date. Another singular scene deals with unicorns in the film, coming into the story as a memory of Deckard’s around the middle of the film. Gaff’s final act of the film may be mocking Deckard, if Gaff had access to Deckard’s dreams, Deckard must be a replicant, just as Deckard proved Rachael a replicant by telling a memory of hers in which a spider’s young consumes its parent.
