Another Hauer movie worth checking is The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988), which won the Golden Lion in Venice. He never stopped working but he really rarely got the roles he deserved after 1988. It's too bad he and Paul Verhoeven had a falling out after Flesh+Blood: his career was much too discreet in the past 30 years and his talent underused. The final form, altered from the scripted lines. ' Tears in Rain ', also referred to as 'The C-Beams Speech', 1 is a brief monologue delivered by replicant Roy Batty (portrayed by Rutger Hauer) in the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner.

But the way Rutger Hauer delivers the speech, his little smile at the end, that's absolute, star-making cinematic perfection. The dying replicant Roy Batty, as played by Rutger Hauer, after the 'Tears in Rain' monologue in Blade Runner. I think that this dialogue is actually corny and was primarily created to sound cool and sci-fi-sounding. To be fair, the interstellar stuff in that end scene came a little out of nowhere since it meant that humans would have developed near- c or FTL travel at some time before 2019 and somehow managed to wage space battles. The movie mentions "off-world" colonies but that's all. It doesn't make much sense but PKD wasn't never very interested in this sort of "detail". However Earth beams transmissions to Proxima just in case humans got there. The book mentions that a spaceship had been sent to Proxima but turned back. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that the movie is roughly based on originally The "off world colonies" are simply elsewhere - if functionally mythical - to the people left on Earth. In both the book and the movie I have always interpreted this omission as intentional because it is unavailable and equally mysterious to any of the people in the story, perhaps even including Tyrell himself.

It is implied in both the movie and the books that the people who live in the "off world colonies" have android slaves and do not live on a ruined Earth.Īnd if I'm recalling the book correctly, it is implied that "Mercerism" - the empathic religion that gives rise to people coveting even synthetic wildlife as status symbols, also seen in the movie with synthetic animals - works across interstellar distances or is implied to, w/r/t it also being a religious-technologic synthetic fraud itself. The part that is missing (overtly) from Bladerunner that is directly addressed in the book is the implication that everyone left on Earth is ineligible to migrate to the "off world colonies" due to being genetically inferior or diseased or so on. This is hinted at in Bladerunner and in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that the movie is roughly based on originally. Did either the movie or the book have more explicit references to interstellar space travel? Roy Batty's death speech implies that interstellar travel has been achieved by humans, but from the few times I watched the film, I'm not remembering any other references to that being an actual thing.
