Seriously though, why did he do it?

boring

he thought his existence finally meant something, just to have that taken away when he found out it wasnt his memories and he was in fact just another replicant, so in the end he decided to still make a difference in this world

He did what he felt was right. We might not agree, but he wanted to reunite a father and daughter. listening to neither his orders, nor the other reps, he became a real hero,and a real human bean

“Sacrificing your self for a good cause, is the most human thing you can do”

i need more alcohol

For his people

If he's a robutt, why don't they just take him to a mechanic or the apple store or something? What's the use of a robutt that's fragile like a human?

Except he is basically property of that police force or whatever and no one takes kindly to renegade replicants, as is completely obvious by his job as a blade runner to hunt them down.
I guess, technically, he could have fucked off like Deckard did, but he would be living a life on the run outside the grid, and in a world as shitty as that, would you really want to? Maybe not being human would make it easier on him, but I just don't see the point in "existing" when there's literally nothing left for you to do.

A real hero

oh shit

Ignore the "he did it for the synths" and the "he did it for decker" or whatever other gay fucking thing it is. This whole movie was a coming of age story for Joe/K, and his "sacrifice" was him doing what he wanted for himself, not for anyone else.

Boy am i glad i filtered that faggot ages ago

It's not like he had anything else. His dreams were broken, his wife is dead, his apartment is shitty, his job is gone, and he might just be wanted by police.

e-emilia..?

Because he wanted to do something that he thought would be good, not become a martyr and a tool for the rebellion and kill deckard, not be a tool for the goverment and kill deckard's daughter, and do something that he thought was human. It's what he wanted all this time.

The point is he did it because he wanted to. Fucking off would have been easier. The fact that he didn't makes him more human than most of the humans he found himself in conflict with

I don’t think he had anything to live for or the will to live

Cause either way he lives only 4 years

because he's a real human bean

Because he had come to love Deckard and thought it was right to reunite him with his daughter. He didn't think it was right to kill him. He made a choice for himself, over and against what other people wanted him to do. In this way, he became human.

Because he haven't seen shit you wouldn't believe

He's a good Joe.

He did it to feel like he had a purpose in life. He is an artificial person, he used to be empty, he felt nothing. Then one day he came very close to having a grand purpose in life, he mistakenly believed he had a miraculous birth that inspired others. It turned out it was a misunderstanding, the fantasy was ripped from him and it left a hole inside his chest. What he did at the end, he did it to fill that hole. He believed he had a great destiny, it was denied to him, so he sought a new one. When the Memory Maker lead him to believe his birth was true he showed feelings for the first time. He exploded. A floodgate of feelings was opened all at once. When he lay dying at the end and he didn't answer why he did it, that's because he didn't know. It takes years for people to understand their feelings, to understand themselves. It was only recently that he started having feelings, he didn't understand them and he didn't understand himself. He just felt something new dragging him in his chest and he pursued that feeling of having a purpose in life.

Once a slave always a slave

He was pretending this was his own free will just to make himself feel better

This is accurate

Didn't they change the lifespans? I honestly can't remember, I need to rewatch the movie

I see, the oscillating fan then.

Yes, that's the first thing established in the movie, like in the first 5 minutes. K goes to "retire" an old model and K mentions that he's a new model that does not expire.

This movie's entire concept was fucking terrible, especially considering Gosling proved he can play a non autistic detective character in the Nice Guys.

This. But it will be ignored because op never really wants the answer, only endless shitposts.

namefag cringe

Because sacrifice is "the most human thing we can do". He sacrificed himself not specifically for the old fart, but because he thought it would make him "human". Recall that the big guy at the beginning sacrifices himself for the "miracle", and JOI does so as well. So you can see that replicants/AI sacrificing themselves = human is the central idea.

The movie is shit.

>doesn't even answer

>“All the best memories are hers...”
>“Why? Who am I to you?”

This is the emotional apex of the film and I was surprised to learn how many people miss the nuance and importance here: As far as K’s memories are concerned, Deckard is his father. If there’s anything the first film taught us, it’s that we are but a collection memories. Implanted or not, they are real in the mind. Remember that line earlier in the film, from Deckard to K: “to love someone you have to be a stranger”? This moment is a direct callback to that. K’s smirk says it all. By saying nothing, he shows his transformation; his ability to love selflessly. And given all the references to fairy tales throughout the film, it is fitting that our Pinocchio has become a real boy by the film’s end. K sitting on the stoop, watching snow fall around him as special unique snowflakes fall on his hand only to melt away forver is also foreshadowed earlier in the film. The significance here being the dichotomy between K and the girl. She is “real” yet she lives in a bubble with fake snow and in isolation. K, the “skinjob”, has been the one to have lived a full life, complete with bouts of Luv and Joi.
So, as ever, Blade Runner is utterly existential in its message - it is how you live and the actions you take that truly matter.
