Description

Actor Rutger Hauer portrays "Roy Batty", a worker/soldier cyborg and the intelligent leader of the renegade Nexus-6 replicant group
who have escaped to Earth. He is looking for his creator, so he can give him more years to live, because Roy Batty is programmed to die soon.
.
"Tears in Rain" is the final monologue of the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner, delivered by the replicant Roy Batty, portrayed by Rutger Hauer. The final form,
altered from the scripted lines and much improvised by Hauer on the eve of filming, has entered popular culture as "perhaps the most moving death soliloquy
in cinematic history" and is an often quoted piece of science fiction writing.
The dying replicant/cyborg Roy Batty makes this speech to Harrison Ford's character Deckard moments after saving him from falling off a tall building.
Deckard had been tasked to kill him and his replicant friends. The words are spoken moments before Batty's death:
“ I have… 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… ”
.
Blade Runner is a 1982 Neo-noir science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos.
The screenplay, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is a modified film adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - by Philip K. Dick.
The film depicts a future Los Angeles in November 2019, in which genetically engineered replicants, which are visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are
manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation as well as by other "mega-corporations" around the world.
Deckard, a policeman of that future, hunts down and terminates these rebellious replicants. He wants to get out of the police force, but is drawn back in when 4 "skin jobs"
(a slang term for replicants) hijack a ship back to Earth. The city in which Deckard must search for his prey is a huge, sprawling, bleak vision of the future.
This film questions what it is to be human, and why life is so precious.
-
Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as "probably" his most complete and personal film. In 1993, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by
the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Blade Runner is now regarded as one of the best science fiction films ever made.
