Endings and their meanings


There was one part I didn't understand. In one ending, McCoy runs off with Lucy, and there is a scene shown where Clovis is dead, and next to his bead is a book and an origami. What's with the origami next to Clovis?

reply

It's most likely a reference to the movie.
In the movie for example one of the other blade runners, Gaff, was constantly making origamis and leaving them to different locations. So it just shows that at some point before Gaff had already been there and either killed Clovis or had found him dead, but had definitely found Clovis.

possible...

But what was the origami in reference to? It must of meant something in particular...

reply

I thought the oragamis were always about something in particular...

It was a tiger, in reference to Clovis's quoting from the poem "The Tyger" and other works by William Blake.

Thit and thpin!
