Cutting to the heart

Re Geoff Boucher’s article “ ‘Blade Runner,’ Take 3” [Sept. 30], about Ridley Scott’s latest attempt to ruin his classic film by making Harrison Ford a replicant: The artificial human beings that Ford’s character tries to kill in the movie are in their own way more human than he is because he is dead inside. To make him a replicant destroys the whole point of the film: what it means to be human.
