About the significance of the dove Roy Batty releases after his death. Accounts in the book "Future Noir" and the Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner (2007) documentary on the Final Cut DVD indicate that the dove was an idea improvised by Rutger Hauer on the day of shooting. Hauer confirms it in his own autobiography "All Those Moments", saying it served as a replacement for a page-long piece of monologue they had intended for him. For Hauer, the dove flying away symbolized Batty's death, with his soul escaping and flying into freedom: There's a lot of symbolism there, and I don't mean Christian ones. The dove could represent Batty's soul, freedom, wings, a liberation from a certain lifestyle, and all that. There's a lot of interesting connections to birds in mythologies and religions other than Christianity.
