Old Khichri

Is the Movie BLADERUNNER a tragic or even a pathetic meditation on the futility of human life.As Roy Batty states it:

'..
washed away like tears in the rain.'

Sebastian is aging faster than normal because of a glandular disease.

The Replicants are aging because of their programmes.

Death seems to limit, define and terminate all human endeavors.

Is there a 'lesson' to learn in this movie?

Is that the lesson?

And does anyone know where that white pigeon comes from?Sebastian?
