Who is Gaff, the man with a cane and a raincoat in blade runner? What do his three origami pieces mean?
Among the three kinds of origami, the meaning of unicorn is the most obvious. In the hero's memory, the image of "unicorn" appeared, and the time was 42 minutes and 06 seconds in the movie. It is said that this place is unique in the director's abridged version. At the end of the film, when Deckard runs away with Rachel, Rachel kicks unicorn origami at home for 1 hour 5 1 minute 49 seconds. Gaff sent two messages here: I know Rachael is here, and I will let you go (Gaff is really a typical heart of stone ...); I know your memory. Why does Gaff know Deckard's memory? Because Decca's memory has also been implanted. He is an artificial man.

Whether Ducal is an artificial person has always been a topic worthy of discussion in the film. If he is, the connotation of the film can be upgraded to several levels. In an interview, the director made it clear that Dyke was an artificial person. But the film never pointed this out, just some ambiguous hints. Unicorns are one of them. However, it should be noted that the birth of blade runner was full of disasters, and he encountered various obstacles in shooting, editing and screening. So the real intentions of directors and screenwriters have disappeared in time, and we viewers can only guess.

The other two origami, the meaning is too vague, we can only speculate in connection with the whole film.

Chicken origami, appeared in the film 12 minutes and 42 seconds. The sheriff asked Decca to look for an artificial person, but Decca refused. "You're not a policeman, you're just a nobody," the sheriff threatened. Then the camera cuts to Gaff's chicken origami. Maybe this chick refers to a "villain", implying Decca's weakness and compromise.

The villain origami appeared in the 24th minute and 26th second of the film. Decca and Garf went to Lyon's residence to investigate. Decca found snake scales in the bathtub. Then came the villain origami. This meaning is vague and can be interpreted in many ways. My understanding is that there once lived a "man" who is now missing. We are looking for him. There are many interpretations of this on the Internet, but I don't want to over-interpret it.
