They added the ambiguity in the director’s cut, so maybe your perception is influenced by originally seeing the theatrical cut? At any rate, I’m just jealous that you had the chance to see it back then.

I have a friend who swears that humanity is actually extinct and everyone we see in the movie is a replicant of various degrees of knowing about it.

it’s confusing, turns out deckard is a human, but harrison ford himself is a replicant.
