BLADE RUNNER (1982) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

Rutger Hauer wrote the "Tears in Rain" speech. Pure poetry. 💙

"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." Absolutely love Roy Batty's final monologue when he reflects on his own mortality. You go instantly from disliking him as a villain to actually feeling really sorry for him. It's probably one of the few times in the history of cinema that you're really moved by the death of the main antagonist. Rutger Hauer was absolutely amazing in this movie.

R.I.P. Rutger Hauer. One of the greatest of all time.

Vangelis far from getting enough love in this comment section. Can't imagine this movie without their score is epic as movie itself.

The sad thing is that Roy batty died in 2019 and so did Rutger Hauer

The movie questions what it means to be "human". The replicants had emotions, memories, opinions. What really separates them from humans. Roy loved Pris, and was broken hearted when she died, but he could not bring himself to kill Deckard. Roy's last act (saving Harrison Ford's character) was supposed to demonstrate his humanity.

This film is a masterpiece. It is probably one of the most influential films ever made, especially in the scifi genre.

I always thought that the reason why Roy saves Deckard at the end is because the realises that the closest thing that man has to immortality is by being remembered, and everyone that knew Roy by that point is dead either by Deckard's hand or Roy's. There is no way that Deckard could forgot the man/ replicant who had him at his absolute mercy, saved him out of nowhere and then dies in front of him. Roy made sure his last witness could never forget him.

"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." Absolute classic.

the music during the “tears in the rain” scene will forever be one of the most moving, beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard 💙

The imagery of Roy Batty, with a nail driven through his hand, saving the life of another is beautifully symbolic.

I watched this movie, like, 40 times... and Roy's monologue at the end always get me crying.

I love Roy’s epilogue, his struggle to keep living is very real.

okay...in forty years of seeing this I have never heard: "I think he should eat something". Priceless. Remember, when this came out, nobody knew what the hell it all 'meant' either. Your emotionally immersive reactions to the script/plot beats are exactly what the makers intended and hoped for from the audience and is why I enjoy watching you discover what once blew my mind...

The final speech Rutger Hauer, the actor playing Roy Batty (your "half-robot blonde psychopath") gave was improvised. The scene called for Roy to sit down and tell Decker about his regrets -- namely, that he had his own memories, not the ones implanted by the company when he was created, and that he was afraid to die because when he did, all those memories, the things that made him, him, would be gone. As he says to Deckard, "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?" Its at this point that you begin to realize that while Deckard was the protagonist, he might not have been the good guy...

This movie ages like a fine wine 👌👌

The year in the movie is 2019, the actor playing Roy (Rutger Hauer) died in 2019. So the tears in the rain monologue became a sort of prediction/prophecy.

"I feel he should eat something" Cas has the motherly vibe and warmth of all 80's sitcom moms combined.

I am 61 years old and I was IN LOVE with Harrison Ford. I still am. That being said, there is no other Sci Fi film on the same level with this one. It was so ahead of its time. Still unequaled.

The original theatre version of this movie, had a narration track of Harrison speaking a lot of his thoughts. I personally liked this original. The movie to me appeared to be styled a lot like old detective movies, the oak furniture, clothing, the abruptness of the characters, that aggressive kiss, the lighting and especially the main character doing the narration. I believe the original version is part of one of the releases. A lot of people seem to not like the narration, I don't get why.
