Great movie.
Great movie.
Stunning moment. The line was Hauer’s, by the way, not the scriptwriters’. I wish fervently that they’d shut Ford up on the narration and just left it there. It was at that moment that I gave up a lifelong conviction that nobody in the art of motion pictures really got science fiction. They got it all right.
Magnificent!
That is one of the finest death scenes ever, perhaps the finest in science fiction, especially considering that Hauer ad libbed it.
He made that movie so memorable with that line. To me, Hauer was the star of Blade Runner.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die.”
That line always sends chills up my spine, one of the best crafted lines in moviedom IMHO.
A magic and beautiful piece of dialog superbly
delivered.
It’s probably common knowledge by now, but Roy’s soliloquy was ad-libbed. Hauer deviated from the script, and created some of the most memorable lines in cinema.
