And..between this and Drive, Gosling’s gotta be on the Mt Rushmore of badass coats right??

K sacrificing himself to protect Deckard’s daughter in the third act even after learning he was not really the chosen one from his memories is such a tragic hero ending. A Replicant making a choice more noble and human than probably most real humans would make is another key to what’s real/human in this. And nothing changes. He’s still alone.

Really well thought out follow up to your Bladerunner post. Glad you’re a fan. For me this is the director’s masterpiece he has yet to top. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was worried that my writing got a little too esoteric.

Great point about K. Gosling freaking crushes that character.
