"It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does?"

To me, the most impressive and moving scene in the film Blade Runner is Roy's tears in the rain while he was about to "retire". The dying replicant makes the speech to Deckard moments after saving him from falling off a tall building. It also seems ironic to me that Deckard had been tasked to kill him and his replicant friends. Generally, we are used to taking a position while seeing a film. In Blade Runner, for instance, I put myself on Deckard' position for most of the scenes and tried to feel the way he did. In other words, it is always right to me while Deckard makes the choices because I am exactly Deckard. Roy Batty, in turn is always on the bad side and it is reasonable to retire him as well as his replicant friends. However, when it came to the so-called "C-Beams Speech" scene, I changed my mind. Technically, Roy Batty is indeed a cyborg, or replicant as indicated in the film, which means he is a being with both organic and biomechatronic parts. Specifically, he is a normally self-thinking man with a articulated body. Although Roy Batty is entirely created from nothing in the film, his speech is full of human's emotions: the happiness along the way, the sadness about the time passed, the sympathy to the man who he just saved. Even in his speech, he clearly and affectionately expresses his feelings to the world, and all the things in it. At that moment, I completely forgot about his existence as a villain and non-human beings in the film. Instead, there is no difference between Roy and Deckard in this scene: the strong desire for survival and the reluctance for leaving. In realistic world, we are actually evaluating a person mostly by his actions and style of speech. In this way, Roy Batty, who looks and even talks like a man, would to a great extent be defined as a real human beings. In conclusion, no one could define others (including robots, cyborgs, etc), even though we create them. There are bad guys in human beings while there may also be good guys in those non-human beings groups. We can hardly find a universal and critical principle to define everyone. But why do we have to bother to do that? According to Gaff 's last words to Deckard, "It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does?"
