ABSTRACT
The weave of Reeve’s essay on the cult film Blade Runner is a rich one indeed. His close reading of the words of each significant character, and how he links their utterances to salient philosophical ideas, renders persuasive his interpretations of the movement and intent of this almost timeless movie. His composition reminds me as a psychoanalyst that some human knots can neither be completely untied nor finally understood by interpretation, but, rather, the threads of such human knots are worth exploring again and again over time. With this in mind, I offer a supplement to Reeve’s essay by pulling upon three threads that he has articulately brought to our attention: what is human or not; freedom’s limit; and time re-considered.
