The first time I watched Blade runner I didn't really take it seriously. I struggled to follow the plot and was therefore quite confused for the majority of the movie. Watching it a second time made me realise that this is a film that needs all your attention otherwise you wont follow. I came to realise that in general, Blade Runner is very symbolic and features a lot of foreshadowing. 

I enjoyed watching the film again as I paid more attention and understood it better. I found it very ironic as a lot of the characters are in the dark about quite a lot, For example, Rachael works for Tyrell had no clue she was a replicant which I found really heartbreaking as she was so convinced she was a human being. In addition to that, it also seems as though Deckard himself is a replicant which makes the matter even worse. I also think it features injustice as Sebastian the genetic engineer is stuck with his disease and lives a lonely life whereas he's employed to do so many things such as help others.

My favourite quote from the movie was from the meeting between Tyrell and Roy in which Roy asks for his life to be extended and Tyrell attempt to convince him that it is impossible to add years on for him. He says to him: "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy". I found this segment very symbolic as I felt that it's applicable to life in general. No one can have it all.
