I want more life fucker

Blade Runner, 1982

When Batty speaks these words to Tyrell, he is screaming love and hatred for his father, acknowledging the contrasting superior power and weakness that each has in relation to the other. When he murders Tyrell moments later, his own demise is only a few hours away. The creator dead, having confirmed that the created too will be about to follow him. Each wants more life. The inflection in Batty's delivery plays on the word fucker and father. Batty has been fucked, not fathered, into life; an act of creation that carries no parental responsibility. As father/fucker, our creations are destined to live knowing that their surest course is towards death. What Batty wants is not so much more life, but to remove the shadow of death from it.
