Morris- Blade Runner

In the last scene with Roy Batty, a lot is explained about Roy's character. Throughout the movie Roy is seen as the leader of the replicants on Earth and he is perceived to be the worst of them. It's his mission that they are on. The Roy that we see in this scene contradicts everything the audience is shown throughout the movie.

Roy's mission is to find a way to live longer than his four years. When he confronts Dr. Tyrell and finds out that he cannot extend his life, he kills him. Then, he heads to see Pris because she is all he has left. When he arrives at the apartment, Roy finds her dead and gets into a fight with Deckard. At the end of this fight, Deckard is about to fall to his death, and Roy saves him.

While they were fighting, Roy knew his time was coming. He started to short circuit and lose the use of his hands. The reason I think Roy saved Deckard was so there was a human that could pass on the knowledge that Deckard had gained about replicants. Roy was not bad. He had thoughts and emotions like humans and put in his position, any human would fight for their life like he had. Roy had nothing to gain from letting Deckard fall to his death, but by saving him, Roy knew that someone would understand his kind better.

The dove in this scene represents peace and innocence. Roy has saved Deckard and shown that there is peace between him and Deckard. Roy is also at peace with dying. When the audience sees this side of Roy, it shows his innocence as a being. He did not ask to be created or given the knowledge that he was, and all he wanted was to have more time.
