"why didn't Roy bring Pris to see Tyrell too?
Why would Roy leave Pris at JF's?"
My reasoning goes along with what was mentioned at the end of Snake's post. Snake wrote;
Probably in case security turned out to be tighter. Pris was not a combat model
For Pris' safety she was in the apartment. With a blade runner hunting them, the apartment of a genetic designer would be a good place for her to be.
"Roy was so sure Tyrell could extend his and Pris's lives"
Imo the movie does not present that kind of certainty. It was more like a suicide mission with a slim chance that they could get help.
Pris knows this;
Roy: There's only two of us now.
Pris: Then we're stupid and we'll die.
Deckard tells the audience that replicants going to earth is a bad idea.
Deckard: Well I don't get it. What do they risk coming back to earth for? That's unusual.
Even though Roy's plan does not make logical sense, what he thought up was to try to overthrow the replicant system for him and his friends.
- Get Tyrell, the center of power, to undo the 4 year limit and to let them go free.
This goes against the basic government/business setup which runs the entire solar system.
- Roy, the tragic hero, was trying to undo the slavery system for his group at least.
"In my mind it must have been because Roy first wanted to check out what Tyrell would say first."
I'm fine with agreeing to disagree.
With my view though there is no backup plan for Roy and his friends.
They either get to Tyrell and persuade him to undo the core of the slavery system (the time limit on the replicants) or they will die anyway because their 4 year life limit is almost up.
As Roy says to Sebastian;
Roy: If we don't find help soon, Pris hasn't got long to live. We can't allow that.
I don't see Roy and his group having many choices if they were going to live longer.
- Instead I see their efforts as a focused freedom fighter operation to get to Tyrell on the wild hope that he can undo the 4 year limit and somehow persuade the authorities to let Roy and his band go free.
- It's a desperate hope which in the end was doomed to fail.
Imo at least, BB ;-)
it is just in my opinion - imo - π
