...like tears in the rain...

That certainly was a standout scene/performance. It hit me for six in a way that very few movie performances ever have. I haven't been to the movies since about 1990 - actually, an arts centre. And I rarely bother to watch anything on TV other than documentaries. I can't remember really having seen much of any great personal significance between this and previously watching the Chaplin silent, "The Goldrush", at a very young age. However, I often balk a bit at expressions of alienation. Might be just me, but most of the time I feel that my real issue is that I am profoundly human, thru the good and the not so good; and always took it from Rutger's death oration that his character had similar feelings. Which is not to say that alienation has never been a part of the issue, but to say that it fades for me with remarkable ease when subjected to other people's more human moments. Doubtless that is one of the reasons why things remained so hidden for most of my three score years and ten. My education & career might well have been mostly a waste of time, but the people I worked with often found it took only a few smiles, laughs and jokes to reestablish some rapport.

That's the point though isn't it?

The 'inhuman' replicant displays more 'humanity' than the 'human' Bladerunner...

The human fear/lack of understanding of the replicants meant they wanted to destroy them.
