In the movie, Blade Runner, a replicant is a manufactured human. They are human in every way, but their eyes capture light like a cat.
When I look in a mirror and see my father’s eyes, I don’t feel like my own person. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I try to smile in different ways so that I do not smile like he does.
