Wow I had no idea it was Rutger Hauer who wrote that monologue. I felt that the whole of the movie boiled down to that line. To think that it was the actor, not the screenwriters who came up with it. It literally defined the existential reason of the film.
Ian Davidsson his writting and his statement about living in fear and thats what it is to be a slave. Everything came down to those two thoughts and expressions. Powerful ending!!! I would say the best movie ending I know.
HE ACTUALLY WROTE THE OPENING. FIT IN PIECES FROM THE MONOLOGUE. ADDED THE WHOLE ALL THOSE MOMENTS AND VIOLA. HE STILL SHAPED IT ALL INTO THIS SPEECH. SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THE WAY IT HAPPENED? THAT HE WAS TALENTED ENOUGH TO DO THIS? HE DOES WRITE AND BEAUTIFULLY.
This was apparently edited for people with the attention span of a strobe light. Why couldn't they have just let Ridley explain how Rutger brilliantly rewrote his monologue, creating quite possibly the single greatest spoken lines in movie history, so moving that at the conclusion of the shoot of him speaking them, the entire film crew broke down in tears?
I didn't know that the film crew did, but I know I did, simply from empathy for the character. Probably one of the most emotional moments ever delivered on film.
@@johndoe7270 It really is. Rutger Hauer said more about life and death in those four short sentences than an entire novel on the subject ever could. The coincidence is that Roy Batty is portrayed as dying in the year 2019, the exact same year that Rutger did indeed die. This dying soliloquy has now made Rutger Hauer truly immortal.
Exactly.... I would like to have heard more. I will be actively seeking better video of his explanation on Mr. Hauer's process of writing it...or better still, Mr. Hauer talking about his process of writing it.
Gotta give Vangelis credit. That soundtrack at the moment was sublime. Every little chime and tone made every word from Rutger’s mouth hit 10x harder. What a masterpiece.
I saw it when it was released in 1982. Even as a 17 year old kid I was still affected by the Roy Batty tears in the rain monologue. I left the theatre thinking on what he said "all those moments will be lost like tears in the rain". It gives a sense of mortality and, at age 54, I look back at those moments in my life and wonder if they too will be lost like tears in the rain.
Same age, I saw in theater as well. Incredible cinematic event, immortal monologue. That Rutger passed in the same year Batty did in the film (2019), is beyond chilling 🎆
It is true in real life. Think of it. when someone passes away. the next of kin will remember him or her. two generations later it is only a picture in a shoebox. and the next generation doe's not know the person at all. all your memories are washed away like tears in the rain.
Also sounds like Scott is fucking wasted. If they didn't sub his words I couldn't derive half of the shit he said. Still you're right, the jump cuts were jarring
It wasn't just the amazing words, the way Hauer delivered the lines, his facial expressions and how they subtly changed, and the whole dark rainy setting made this one of the best movie scenes of all time. I cannot even think of a scene that touched me as much that this in all of Hollywood. Mr. Hauer was truly a brilliant actor. RIP great one.
Rutger Hauer's monologue in Blader Runner is one of my top favorite movie lines ever. After the movie went to video, I played the whole movie probably a dozen times, even making a movie party out of it for friends. Some people may have hated the film, but this -- this was and is a classic.
They're not just additional words. In fact, there was a huge, operatic monologue in the script. Hauer just threw that away and replaced it with his brilliance.
Most contemporary directors would have tried to add those unbelievable moments into the film for spectacle. but Ridley showed incredible discipline by having him basically deliver his backstory in a few words and yet it was the most powerful moment in the movie.
Not only that but having them only mentioned instead of us seeing them heightens the fact that the memories will be lost with him, as will all our memories be lost with us.
From the time Roy sat down to the moment the dove flew off screen totaled 98 seconds.... probably 98 seconds of the best cinema I have ever seen... Thank you Ridley, Thank you Rutger.
Fist time I've watched it back in the 80s I honestly thought Ford is gonna ger his ass kicked. Lol he had no chance against him. Turned of events he just needed someone to be heard before he passed on.
The first time I saw Blade Runner, around 1989, I didn't know it was a highly regarded film; it just sounded like a typical science fiction flick. But by the time the credits were rolling, I felt "stunned", for lack of a better word, or "blown away". Clearly, it was far more than generic science fiction; it makes profound statements on the human condition that resonate in the minds of the audience.
Epic. I am one of those that enjoyed the film and was thrown back in my chair the moment I heard "Roy" with those last moments. There is no other actor that could have accomplished what Rutger had. ...and the Oscar goes to...Rutger Hauer.
People genuinely don't quite get that this speech would be nowhere near as good as it is without the music, that vangelis sound track drove it home incredibly well and set the entire mood with the fantastic setting. A lot of things went right in this part of the film the acting from rutger to the speech it's self shortened down beautifully, but that music drives it.
why chop the video mere seconds and destroy the emotion and meaning? imagine a kid who'd never seen the scene clicking on this first time and seeing how frantic and botched a job the editor did on this mess? FFS lads, back to advertising and marketing school
Favorite scene from my favorite move! Period. End of story. The very subtle body language and as someone mentioned the rainy underscroed background music made this a very powerful vignette on the frailty of humanity! What courage to leave this in. Thanks!!!
Hey, Rutger. You are the man forever. I was on Mt. Ranier, listening to the Blade Runner tape while my Mom was getting chemo at Fred Hutchinson's. We got stuck in a blizzard ! You Are the man. Forever and a Day. I love You.
This is without a dubt one of the best lines of all time spoken in a movie, and it's even more amazing when find out that Rutger himself wrote the speech
Yes, Robert Shaw's recounting of the tragedy that befell the USS Indianapolis in "Jaws" was as good as it gets. To me, "Tears in Rain" is the very best of them all, but Shaw's story is right behind it.
I saw this movie for the first time in a prison in Cuba for trying to escape in a raft. I saw it in a black and white 17" russian tv. and still was amazing. I have seen it now probably 50 times with my high end suround system, B&W (the 802 nautilus) speakers powered by my monoblock 400 amps amps, etc it is an experience every time. The music is out of this world, the acting, and for me the memories. I was only 22.
That is the scene for what he should get an Oscar...long time ago !!! There are actors ..artists...but Rutger is on a much higher level!!! One of the most underrated actors of all time!!! I simply can't understand the Academy awards Policy at all !!!
I remember the actors getting PO'ed at Scott over the continuous rain shots on each set but heck was it ever worth it in the end - mood, drama and mystery.
This scene always gives me goosebumps. I've never seen any moment in a movie more profound and beautiful. I loved Ruger Hauer. Still do. A truly mesmerising and extraordinary actor.
Will agree with the legions of fans here that this is one of the most perfect and moving scenes and performances in all of cinema, and it couldn't heave existed without Rutger Hauer's brilliant written contribution (and everything else around it...meaning the rest of the film). ❤☮🌎
Yes, precisely the point. Deckard was the one man Batty should most have wanted to die, but instead he saves Deckard, a singular act of mercy, then tells Deckard about some of his most remarkable experiences as his life ebbs away, desperate for at least some of his memories to go on in Deckard's mind. It's such a powerful, incredibly moving scene, and it has a timeless value to it. I'm a grownass man, and every time I see it, I get choked up.
One of the best movies I've ever seen I think I was about 24 when I saw this movie fell in love and the theme song I bought a computer game which I still have and 4 years was hoping of a Blade Runner 2 to be released now 30 years on I'm 54 I just rewatched the first Blade Runner haven't seen the new movie yet but somehow I don't think it would be up there at the same scale as the first first Blade Runner has so many different scenes so many different moods all-in-all an outstanding movie I'll get back to you on the second one and hoping that there is 1/3 1/4 1/5 Blade Runner movie to come
I saw the movie when it first came out and fell in love with it as well. It's in my top 3...Ridley Scott is my favorite director and Rutger Hauer is my favorite actor. I did not like Blade Runner 2049....didnt have much, if any, depth. Sadly, Rutger Hauer died last week and it's hit me like a shovel to the face. Truly depressed about it.
If there was any moment in cinematic history captured on tape it was the Tears in Rain Monologue. It catapulted Hauer to galactic fame and Harrison Ford has never equaled his stellar performance since. Thank you, Ridley, you have made some great films and it is so sad your brother chose to end his career in such a sad way. It must have been devastating for you...
RIP Rutger and thank you for the single most powerful, poignant and defining ending of any movie - that i can truly relate to as my clock counts down...............
It was a fascinating movie. Years later I was driving my son around the industrial area near the El Cajon airport and we did a U-turn to see some unusual cars near a warehouse. We saw the building used in the dark rainy opening of the movie. It was just a model about 4 or 5 feet high. We saw the futuristic police car used in the movie and the early batmobile from the TV series and a bunch of fascinating stuff from several movies. It's amazing how they can make things seem real when it's in a movie.
Rutger Hauer clearly understood the point of the story and in particular the feelings of his character (and those of the other replicants, no doubt, although they wouldn't have had the sensitivity of Roy Batty to be able to articulate the emotions) to such an extent that he was able to express them in such a poetic speech about the ephemeral nature of life, a statement written quietly like that in his trailer. It was the perfect meld of actor and character, and beautifully captured on film.
What's amazing is the way that Roy was more human than Deckard was. Deckard was "burnt out" by the job. Roy was like almost everyone. We want more of life. Rutger was brilliant.
RIP RUTGER I WAS IN SEATTLE WHEN THE MOVE CAME OUT I ALSO GOT A PRIVATE SHOWING OF ALL THE COSTUMES AND PROPS AT THE SPACE NEEDLE LIFE LONG FAN PERIOD WENT ON TO MEET EDWARD JAMES OLAMOS AT A FUND RAISER IN CARPINTERIA CA GREAT MOVE

He didn't write it from scratch. He took the monologue from the script and shortened it dramatically and added the "tears in the rain" part.
Rutger Hauer is an awesome and very undervalued and underrated actor... and he's also incredibly proud of this line.
HE ACTUALLY WROTE THE OPENING. FIT IN PIECES FROM THE MONOLOGUE. ADDED THE WHOLE ALL THOSE MOMENTS AND VIOLA. HE STILL SHAPED IT ALL INTO THIS SPEECH. SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THE WAY IT HAPPENED? THAT HE WAS TALENTED ENOUGH TO DO THIS? HE DOES WRITE AND BEAUTIFULLY.

@Gunners_Mate_Guns Actually I learnt more from your comment than from the actual vid, so thanks. Speaks volumes about s*it RT editing.
@@mot00rzysta Thanks for the kind words.
Rutger Hauer should have become a much bigger star than he is.
HE DOESN'T PLAY THE GAME. SHINES IN ALL HE DOES. AGREE.
As long as we remember him he will the bigger star and his moments will not be lost like tears in the rain.
he inspired a lot of actors tho
I wholeheartedly agree. The Hitcher was great but I think we needed some gritty sci fi roles for him which we were eluded sadly.
Yep
Cool interview
Awful editing
Look mah, I found WordArt.
Rest in peace Rutger Hauer. Thank you for this magnificent monologue and your iconic performance in Blade Runner. You'll never be forgotten.
That monologue was absolute genius
Time to die. 2019 the year Blade Runner is about and Rutger dies.
R.I.P.
And thx for this perfect moviescene. IT IS really perfect.
Genaro Siles 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
"Now, he belongs to the ages."
Lady Hawk was my favorite film of his. He totally stole the show.
Gotta give Vangelis credit. That soundtrack at the moment was sublime. Every little chime and tone made every word from Rutger’s mouth hit 10x harder. What a masterpiece.
One of the greatest lines in film history - and it was written during production by the actor. Amazing.
look into Gladiator. Much the same. Ridley Scott is a genius at getting the best out of his actors.
Blade Runner was always going to be a great movie ... Rutger Hauers monologue "I've seen things" made Blade Runner "art"
More than 'art'. Monumental and existential :)
Ed in Burgh Because of delivery ...
Well said.
don't forget the music that went with it too
exactly
I saw it when it was released in 1982. Even as a 17 year old kid I was still affected by the Roy Batty tears in the rain monologue.

It gives a sense of mortality and, at age 54, I look back at those moments in my life and wonder if they too will be lost like tears in the rain.
Ditto, except 56. Bladerunner has been my favorite movie for some 40 years now.
Same here and I married my Rachel! 33 years together in December! ❤❤❤❤
Same age, I saw in theater as well. Incredible cinematic event, immortal monologue. That Rutger passed in the same year Batty did in the film (2019), is beyond chilling 🎆

Yup like Disney's Coco.. Like when the Héctor Rivera's friend Chicharon, dies a second and final time, forgotten about...
The rapid, jarring cuts and frenetic, weak editing made this video incredibly unpleasant to watch.
Probably because its Rotten Tomatoes
That's Rotten Tomatoes for you. Just like their reviews they pick out what they like and leave behind the rest. Poor film reviews at that.
Correct, REALLY unpleasant to watch!
Also sounds like Scott is fucking wasted. If they didn't sub his words I couldn't derive half of the shit he said.
Still you're right, the jump cuts were jarring
i agree.. shitty video
RIP
Roy Batty, 2017 - 2019
Rutger Hauer, 1944 - 2019

The replicants last about 4 years. Roy Batty was made in early 2016, and died in late 2019. But all the same, R.I.P. Mr. Hauer.
It wasn't just the amazing words, the way Hauer delivered the lines, his facial expressions and how they subtly changed, and the whole dark rainy setting made this one of the best movie scenes of all time. I cannot even think of a scene that touched me as much that this in all of Hollywood. Mr. Hauer was truly a brilliant actor. RIP great one.
his delivery is just as good as his monologue itself

Rod Martin, Jr. So did we. Mates and I.
Hated Blade Runner?
I haven't met one yet.
Don't want to meet them.
The fact Ridley immediately said "NO" to Rutger saying he made a poem.
Lol I think he must've done that quite a bit.
A great moment of genius. Hauer's additional words turned a good film into a truly great one.
They're not just additional words. In fact, there was a huge, operatic monologue in the script. Hauer just threw that away and replaced it with his brilliance.

From the time Roy sat down to the moment the dove flew off screen totaled 98 seconds.... probably 98 seconds of the best cinema I have ever seen... Thank you Ridley, Thank you Rutger.
It's a really deep and emotional subject...
...edited like they're talking about their favorite Looney Tunes moments.
WTF?
Mad Geo yeah, it's bizzarre because fans of Blade Runner are hardly going to appreciate that kind of editing 😕
It's the new human attention span; 3 seconds, max.
Oi don't disrespect my Looney Tunes like that XD
Not only the best monologue in the film, also one of the best in the history of film if not the best.
My favorite moment in all movie history.
Ditto
It's timeless.
Same here, it gets me every time I watch it, and I've seen the film many more times than any other film.
@@nick1635 same here. I watch it every year on my birthday.
Fist time I've watched it back in the 80s I honestly thought Ford is gonna ger his ass kicked. Lol he had no chance against him. Turned of events he just needed someone to be heard before he passed on.
Yeah its like he wanted to die in company
Morgan Pryds Yep .. share a bit more Life, before none ..
With writing that immensely touching and profound monologue, Rutger Hauer , without knowing it, insured his immortality in Cinema.
R.I.P. Rutger Hauer - Thanks for your unique energies into the roles you played, and for being part of my film viewing experience.
The first time I saw Blade Runner, around 1989, I didn't know it was a highly regarded film; it just sounded like a typical science fiction flick. But by the time the credits were rolling, I felt "stunned", for lack of a better word, or "blown away".

One of the most epic lines ever shared on film. Sublime, beautiful, monumental.
Favorite scene from my favorite move! Period. End of story. The very subtle body language and as someone mentioned the rainy underscroed background music made this a very powerful vignette on the frailty of humanity! What courage to leave this in. Thanks!!!
Rutger Hauer played iconic parts in films from Blade Runner to The Hitcher and beyond
Hey, Rutger. You are the man forever. I was on Mt. Ranier, listening to the Blade Runner tape while my Mom was getting chemo at Fred Hutchinson's. We got stuck in a blizzard ! You Are the man. Forever and a Day. I love You.
knowing he wrote that monologue himself makes it even more incredible. What a tremendous talent.
One third is the speech, second is the direction, but the real star is the music. It's just so beautiful. Vangelis was a master.
This is without a dubt one of the best lines of all time spoken in a movie, and it's even more amazing when find out that Rutger himself wrote the speech
one of the best scene in cinema history-great actor great director great movie
- Indeed I can't recall a scene or words in all the movies I have seen in 70 years - as great as the one Rutger Hauer wrote and played !
i cry everytime i watch that scene
You and the rest of the world with a soul.
It's impossible to maintain my cool when the movie finally comes to that part.
HE WROTE THIS MONOLOGUE?? Holy shit, man. The only equal to this would be Robert Shaw's "Annapolis" speech in Jaws. Unbelievable.
tiffsaver that would be the USS Indianapolis...
+Thomas Massey
Thanks for the correction.
Yes, Robert Shaw's recounting of the tragedy that befell the USS Indianapolis in "Jaws" was as good as it gets.
To me, "Tears in Rain" is the very best of them all, but Shaw's story is right behind it.
Rutger hauer is a poet, it's a truly beautiful scene
Once in a life time! I don't remember watching another movie with a line so intense as that
same, this is the single most memorable scene from any movie
I saw this movie for the first time in a prison in Cuba for trying to escape in a raft. I saw it in a black and white 17" russian tv. and still was amazing. I have seen it now probably 50 times with my high end suround system, B&W (the 802 nautilus) speakers powered by my monoblock 400 amps amps, etc it is an experience every time. The music is out of this world, the acting, and for me the memories. I was only 22.
Ridley Scott was trying to tell the woman she looked ridiculous
I honestly thought that was a gay man till I read your comment
it was good that they made it easy for us to determine that all on our own
It's Grae Drake. She also dresses weird
You can re-watch the famous "Tears in Rain" scene here: ruclips.net/video/HU7Ga7qTLDU/видео.html
The most amazing scene, the words are so fitting for anyone who is dying. Thank you Rutger Hauer for this thoughtful, powerful speech.
One of my favourite scenes for Media in all my classes. Still ahead of its time for cinematography and ideas. Great movie.
By the time Roy finished saying what he had to and died. I would have given anything to have those memories. I was bawling!
Truly one of the greatest monologues in the history of cinema. Rutger Hauer was criminally underappreciated.
So nice Ridley gives Rutger Hauer the credit he deserves for them lines... Still on most top 20 monologue list after 40 years...
Hauer is brilliant
Nexus Roy wrote this jewel?, he deserves an oscar.
AMEN. WE TRIED.
R.I.P. Rutger...
R.I.P Ruger hauer
That is the scene for what he should get an Oscar...long time ago !!!
There are actors ..artists...but Rutger is on a much higher level!!!
One of the most underrated actors of all time!!!
I simply can't understand the Academy awards Policy at all !!!
That Academy awards Policy has a long list of wrong decisions !
watched Alien and Blade Runner on same night long long time ago, still the best films i'v seen
there will never be another Rutger Hauer. He was truly a one-off.
I remember the actors getting PO'ed at Scott over the continuous rain shots on each set but heck was it ever worth it in the end - mood, drama and mystery.

Rutger Hauer was spectacular. Such an incredible actor. That movie would not have been the same without him. RIP

i never come to this site again,
I've lost count of the number of times when talking to a group of mates, I've said: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe!" RIP Rutger / Roy
Rest in Peace Rutger Hauer🙏🏽🙏🏽.
Ive never meet him, but my wish was it😢
Rip :(
One of the best movies I've ever seen I think I was about 24 when I saw this movie fell in love and the theme song I bought a computer game which I still have and 4 years was hoping of a Blade Runner 2 to be released now 30 years on I'm 54 I just rewatched the first Blade Runner haven't seen the new movie yet but somehow I don't think it would be up there at the same scale as the first first Blade Runner has so many different scenes so many different moods all-in-all an outstanding movie I'll get back to you on the second one and hoping that there is 1/3 1/4 1/5 Blade Runner movie to come
I saw the movie when it first came out and fell in love with it as well. It's in my top 3...Ridley Scott is my favorite director and Rutger Hauer is my favorite actor. I did not like Blade Runner 2049....didnt have much, if any, depth. Sadly, Rutger Hauer died last week and it's hit me like a shovel to the face. Truly depressed about it.
A simply brilliant performance - a five star film- Roy Batty was such an important character.
My all time favorite movie with the best monologue with the best theme being played at the same time, beautiful 😎😎
If there was any moment in cinematic history captured on tape it was the Tears in Rain Monologue. It catapulted Hauer to galactic fame and Harrison Ford has never equaled his stellar performance since. Thank you, Ridley, you have made some great films and it is so sad your brother chose to end his career in such a sad way. It must have been devastating for you...
Legend
That ending was so gripping.
RIP Rutger and thank you for the single most powerful, poignant and defining ending of any movie - that i can truly relate to as my clock counts down...............

that is one of the best moments of all film.
I am blown away that Rutger Hauer wrote that himself.
Loved his work.
Rest In Peace Rutger. You will be missed.
Probably the greatest monlogue ever put down on celluloid.
A great movie moment! For sure in the top ten. Long live the Fighters!
Ya hiya chouhada!
Those lines made the movie for me. Can't wait to see next movie!
Vangelis music simply enhanced an amazing movie scene and lifted to an awesome level.
The most famous two lines from any movie.
Prove me wrong.
Rutger Hauer wrote this last monologue himself? This is insane, this man is a true genius!
He should have made more films with Rutger Hauer.
Rutger Hauer clearly understood the point of the story and in particular the feelings of his character (and those of the other replicants, no doubt, although they wouldn't have had the sensitivity of Roy Batty to be able to articulate the emotions) to such an extent that he was able to express them in such a poetic speech about the ephemeral nature of life, a statement written quietly like that in his trailer. It was the perfect meld of actor and character, and beautifully captured on film.
Immortal Gold
Goosebumps still in 2023
I had no idea he wrote that until tonight. Its my favorite movie ending of all time. Rutger Hauer is the man!!!!
teares...in rain
Rutger's monologue made me cry when
Hauer's magnum opus. His character dies while the actor claims immortality.
Saw it when I was 16 i knew then it was so far ahead of its time and still my favorite of all time
What's amazing is the way that Roy was more human than Deckard was. Deckard was "burnt out" by the job. Roy was like almost everyone. We want more of life. Rutger was brilliant.
great monologue.
RIP RUTGER I WAS IN SEATTLE WHEN THE MOVE CAME OUT
I ALSO GOT A PRIVATE SHOWING OF ALL THE COSTUMES AND PROPS AT THE SPACE NEEDLE
