This Is What I Think.

"Rachael"

This must be the reason I "remember" that girlfriend named Rachel in my artificial and symbolic memory. The actress who portrays "Rachael" was not only familiar in appearance, but the difference between her birthday and Phoebe Cates is 1,334 days. I have been thinking of examining the possible connections to Sean Young because the woman who portrayed Ryan Phillippe's wife in "Breach" reminds me of Sean Young.

There might be another clue relevant to me about the release date, but for now, the release date is in the weeks after I recognize that I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy.

I kept working on it after I wrote that last sentence and I think I know what was the primary clue for that release date.

From 7/16/1963 to 6/25/1982 is: 6919 days
3459 * 3459 = 6918

Between Phoebe's birthday, there are two equal period of 3459 days, to represent my birthday of 3/4/1959 as recognized in England, plus one day. The extra day is probably a remainder due to day-of-week scheduling constraints as 6/25/1982 was a Friday. I wonder if she is just now learning about all this.

Blade Runner is an influential 1982 cyberpunk, neo noir film directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, which was adapted from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film features Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah and Joanna Cassidy.

The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically manufactured beings called replicants, visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are used for dangerous and degrading work in Earth's "off-world colonies." After replicants became illegal on Earth, specialist police units — blade runners — were trained to hunt down and "retire" (kill) escaped replicants on Earth. The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of replicants hiding in Los Angeles and a semi-retired blade runner, Rick Deckard (Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment.

Blade Runner initially polarized critics; some were displeased with the pacing, while others enjoyed its thematic complexity.[1] The film performed poorly in North American theaters but achieved success overseas. Despite poor early ticket sales, it has since become a cult classic. Blade Runner has been hailed for its production design, one said to depict a "retrofitted future". The film is credited with prefiguring important concerns of the 21st century, such as globalization and genetic engineering. It remains a leading example of cyberpunk and neo-noir. Blade Runner brought author Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood and several films have since been made from his writings. Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as his "most complete and personal film."



Rachael

Rachael is the latest experiment of Eldon Tyrell. There is a problem with his more recent, advanced Nexus 6 Replicants - they start to develop their own emotions. The other replicants we see provide plenty of evidence that this is true. They then start to rebel against being slaves. Tyrell believes that this is because they have no framework within which to deal with their new emotions. Thus, if he can gift them with memories, they will cope with situation better and therefore be a better product.

Rachael has the implanted memories of Tyrell's niece, and she is led to believe that she is human. We do not know how long she has been living, but Tyrell admits that he thinks she was beginning to suspect the truth of her existence. While it is not specified what model type Rachael is; it can be inferred from her purpose and actions. She would be Physical Level B as she does not require great strength, and would actually undermine the illusion of being human; as to Mental Level she would be a top level A so that she would be best equipped to process and comprehend the memories given to her.

When Rachael learns the truth, she is ignored by Tyrell. In desperation, she turns to Deckard, who has been told by Captain Bryant to terminate her. He eventually falls in love with her. Many possibilities exist in interpreting their relationship. Some of interpretations depend on whether or not one believes Deckard is a Replicant himself.

Both of them are allowed to live: Roy saves Deckard from falling off a building, and Gaff does not kill Rachael. Gaff leaves his calling card, a foil unicorn, at Deckard's apartment to show he's been there.


From 3/3/1959 to 11/20/1959 is: 262 days
From 3/3/1959 to 7/16/1963 is: 1596 days
1596 - 262 = 1,334
