Incredible scene. I read that people on the set cried when it was filmed. Blade Runner is really one of the very few perfect movies (the Director's Cut, that is....not the narrarated version).
The best line in the movie -written by Rutger himself at 4 in the morning of a grueling shoot. "All those moments lost in time like tears in the rain..."
My interpretation of this film is that the androids represent us, and like us, as they become truly self aware, FREE, they become a danger to those who control them, and must be destroyed.
WHAT THIS SCENEsays is that Roy IS the good man.He is better than Decker.He is smarter than Tyrell,for he knows it is not right to build slaves.He is smart enough to know a soul has reasons to live.He "teaches " this last lesson to Decker,and,we are to assume,Decker learns.He inevitably shows acts MORE human than humans.I commend this scene,for after 30 years of watching it,it is as powerful as the first time I viewed it.Almost.as good as Adrian telling Rocky,In R2,Win! WIN!!!!
@rricardo1987 I agree with you. The dove is the symbol of the replicants "soul" going up to the heavens. An image of the humanity he found at the end.
A very beautiful and poetic scene. I always cry when I see this scene. All life is precious. That flying dove has done significance/symbolism. Can't figure out what it implies though.
That awkward moment, when you realize that Ford was trying to stop android who was searching answers and causes of his existence. Final sentence is a statement of being who is aware of it's death, memories (even brutal and tough ones), existance (no matter it was short). e dies free, but forgotten.
[sorry the english. Please help me find out that movie!!] a movie of androids in the desert, that has some american soldiers, and there's a cyborg between them, and it kills a human calling him a cyborg because he kept repeating the same words. I remember the sands of the desert with some kind of robots with blades that cuts any who dare trepass the desert...
I totally agree with everybody here that it is one of the most resonant moments in cinematic history. But the camera cuts away from Hauer and the dove flies upward, there is something about the appearance of that blue building that has always bugged me. Compared to the stunning graphics of future architecture in the entire movie, this flat blue surface with two ordinary smokestacks makes it seem like they ran out of time and shot the scene in an industrial neighborhood. Poor choice of setting
@SimplyGreenification Yes it is. Roy takes it befor saving Deckard. He lifts him to the rooftop with just one arm and in the hand he does not use he holds the pidgeon..
@HeadChestOrFoot oh yeah, i remember that one. "Still, you can't help but wonder how the old timers would handle it." I remember it being so intense, most of it got by me. I have to listen to it again. I got one for you: Eric Bogosian in "Talk Radio". You can punch it up, but I recommend the whole film cuz it's a really good one.
I tried to copy the visual aesthetics of this scene for one of my finals at film school. I love this scene in Blade Runner and didn't really do it justice... but do you guys mind checking it out and letting me know what you guys think? Thanks. :) youtube.com/watch?v=YOphFl88U-g
Ive seen things you people wouldnt believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of orion, I watched c-beams, glitter in the dark near the tannhausen gate, all those moments will be lost, like tears in the rain, time to die
SuperHeroMania, that's because that speech is a real message inside a movie, There was a battle out there, and there are other humans. We're in captivity in planet Earth, this is not our planet of origin. At least that's what some histories teach.
One of the most touching and clever minutes of movie history - 30 years later and it still makes me cry. Apparently, Hauer improv'd some of the lines....amazing....
@SuperHeroMania But Aliens is better than Alien. And the fact that Prometheus is going to ignore all of the fleshed out information brought to us in Aliens means it will suck dick.
@IronRooRoo Alien I thought was better than Aliens, but both films were fantastic. And Prometheus stands as its own film so how will it suck dick when it's not a prequel to Alien in the first place?
And in terms of storytelling and not special effects? Ridley Scott is much better than James Cameron
@SuperHeroMania Not a prequel to Alien in the first place? It's set on LV-426 and features the fucking derelict Space Jocket ship from the movie Alien. It is a prequel, but it doesn't even show the xenomorphs at all. Sorry, it's gonna suck dick. That's my opinion, deal with it.
Also, your opinion that Scott is better at storytelling is all subjective. I prefer the militaristic overtones of Aliens, so I think the opposite.
@SpazzyMcGee1337 To me, the Replicants were never artificial. Bred in a lab, but still biological and real. A machine thinks in terms of mathematics and lacks emotions, but the Replicants are extremely emotional.
most ironic thing about this whole movie: all the Nexus 6 escaped the mines at the end of their lifespans. It was moot to even attempt to retire them. The only Nexus 6 who wasn't about to die was Rachel and she was still alive at the end!
u right SCORGY cos for me BR is not the greatest SF movie, its greatest of them all... did u ppl noticed how much is left for u during that movie? in most important moments there are very few words that are spoken. a mastery of screenplay. (forgive my english)
In the video called "Tears In Rain, Hi Res", when the dove fliess up to the sky, it is still a metropolis like in the movie, but in this version, it's a blue sky, with the clouds moving away. I like this version more. I always like to think behind the darkest clouds, there is always blue sky. It's symbolic; behind the coldest darkness there is still light.
I really, really, really, really, really wish he didn't say "Time to die." Like... we can infer from context that he's dead and it takes away from "like tears in rain."
@Suprapersonality Nothing I think could take away from that "Like....(gulp)...tears? In the rain",quote. Seems fine to me he says "Time tO die". Whole scene gave me an odd humorous feeling.
This proves that in the future when androids are created you will not have to be flesh and bone to be human being human is about what is the person deep down is, not what their made of.
@PlagueofwaR its an achievement in special effects that has literally shaped how directors and artists nower days show the future; it's nostalgic science-fiction noir changed scifi films forever.
when it came out it was underrated because of the story which seemed so far out there and that it relied on effects more than dialog or whatever..but its a classic now because of the shear epicness and velocity ridley scott's blade runner has given us. it's great.
most touching in this scene is the fack that he couldn't have different memories: family, bussiness thriumph, frends from school, GF (well, he have Priss to take care for), laughters... His life was set from the start, and the only things that he was destend to experience, was hazadous enviroment and war. But THISE are his memories, and nothing can make them less important. Also, he is able to express himself in poetry - he elevate himself over intends of his creators.
No one gives Ford any credit here but the look in his eyes is priceless. You can see how the character has suddenly transformed from a killer into a man that is truly sympathising with his former enemy. He truly looks sad that Batty is dying and that there's nothing he can do. The irony is that he has spent the whole movie hunting Batty down and now he finally understands Batty's motives. He was simply fighting for his life....................a life they both took for granted.
@SCROGY Deckard never liked killing them, u can see it from the first kill (Zhora). He despite that work (propably the reason for leaving - guess something have broken him). Then, it was mostly self-defence.
@SCROGY Id kuv it if they cud make a Bladerunners sequel film, and start it where it carries off straight after the first film. Keep everything the same looking, and if they cud just recreate Harrison Ford in CGI, and simply use his voice. Ofcourse thinking bout it, prob needs more time for advances in facial recreation of actors in CGI, cus it still looks abit ropey by todays standards, Tron Legacy and Terminator Sal lol.
@RaikenXion Oh God no. There is nothing left to say that wasn't said in this film. And just so you know, the movie SOLDIER with Kurt Russell was actually a sort of sequel to Blade Runner. It even mentions the battle of Tanhauser gate in it. While it's a decent movie it sure as hell is no Blade Runner. BR is the greatest sci fi movie ever and Soldier is glady mostly forgotten It simply doesn't meet expectations.
@SCROGY Bladerunner is one of the greatest sci fi movies, but I wudnt quite give it the title of Greatest sci fi ever, not wen theres 2001 and a fair few others we wud hav2 consider. But yes it is a very deep sci fi movie about humanity and other themes running through it. I do think it can b taken in new directions, like maybe a prequel showing how Batty, Pris and the other Replicants escape to earth. Yes we all know they do that and maybe feel it doesnt need iteral showing of their escape.
@RaikenXion I think it's the greatest because of it's depth and most importantly it's influence. You see the Neo Noir influence everywhere and nods to Blade Runner in so many places, from video games (Perfect Dark, Fear Effect, Timsplitters, Shadowrun, Deus Ex) to other movies (The Matrix, Ghost In The Shell, Bubblegum Crisis) To TV shows (Battlestar Galactica) To Music (White Zombie-More Human than Human, Deus Ex Machina-I Human) to music (Billy Idols cover of The Doors L.A Woman video).......
@RaikenXion .........the soundtrack was for a while the biggest selling movie soundtrack of all time DESPITE being delayed for 10 years after the movie was released. And most importantly it makes numerous critic's best sci fi movie number 1 pick (2001 and Star Wars top some lists too).
@SCROGY But reason y I wud like a prequel is for this very scene here, where Batty is describing wot hes done in his life, to show these things maybe in a kinda flashback, cus wot he describes just sounds amazing. Maybe the critics who hold this film in such high regard wud feel these little things r just not needed and the films alright on its own, but many fans wud appreciate this. Well, put it this way wot wud u rather? a remake, or Ridley adding alittle more to his masterpiece.
@SCROGY Yeh I hav saw that film, and I know bout it bieng referenced to Bladerunner, I remember one scene theres a spinner in the background in some junk on that planet they r dumped on. Wud hav been nice if it cud hav been officially linked to Bladerunner, and the film really needed a better director, W.S Anderson is too much of a big kid to make deep sci-fi movies. His best film Id say is Event Horizon and even that is quite simple in its plot really lol, but still a pretty gud sci-fi horror.
ide retire Deckard and that creepy skin he hangs out with , ide be a good blade runner untill i started doubting if i was real or not then id kill all the humans.
When my time comes, I want to go out like this!

@PlagueofwaR its an achievement in special effects that has literally shaped how directors and artists nower days show the future; it's nostalgic science-fiction noir changed scifi films forever.
when it came out it was underrated because of the story which seemed so far out there and that it relied on effects more than dialog or whatever..but its a classic now because of the shear epicness and velocity ridley scott's blade runner has given us. it's great.

most touching in this scene is the fack that he couldn't have different memories: family, bussiness thriumph, frends from school, GF (well, he have Priss to take care for), laughters... His life was set from the start, and the only things that he was destend to experience, was hazadous enviroment and war. But THISE are his memories, and nothing can make them less important. Also, he is able to express himself in poetry - he elevate himself over intends of his creators.

No one gives Ford any credit here but the look in his eyes is priceless. You can see how the character has suddenly transformed from a killer into a man that is truly sympathising with his former enemy. He truly looks sad that Batty is dying and that there's nothing he can do. The irony is that he has spent the whole movie hunting Batty down and now he finally understands Batty's motives. He was simply fighting for his life....................a life they both took for granted.

@SCROGY Deckard never liked killing them, u can see it from the first kill (Zhora). He despite that work (propably the reason for leaving - guess something have broken him). Then, it was mostly self-defence.

@SCROGY Id kuv it if they cud make a Bladerunners sequel film, and start it where it carries off straight after the first film. Keep everything the same looking, and if they cud just recreate Harrison Ford in CGI, and simply use his voice. Ofcourse thinking bout it, prob needs more time for advances in facial recreation of actors in CGI, cus it still looks abit ropey by todays standards, Tron Legacy and Terminator Sal lol.

@RaikenXion Oh God no. There is nothing left to say that wasn't said in this film. And just so you know, the movie SOLDIER with Kurt Russell was actually a sort of sequel to Blade Runner. It even mentions the battle of Tanhauser gate in it. While it's a decent movie it sure as hell is no Blade Runner. BR is the greatest sci fi movie ever and Soldier is glady mostly forgotten It simply doesn't meet expectations.

@SCROGY Bladerunner is one of the greatest sci fi movies, but I wudnt quite give it the title of Greatest sci fi ever, not wen theres 2001 and a fair few others we wud hav2 consider. But yes it is a very deep sci fi movie about humanity and other themes running through it. I do think it can b taken in new directions, like maybe a prequel showing how Batty, Pris and the other Replicants escape to earth. Yes we all know they do that and maybe feel it doesnt need iteral showing of their escape.

@RaikenXion I think it's the greatest because of it's depth and most importantly it's influence. You see the Neo Noir influence everywhere and nods to Blade Runner in so many places, from video games (Perfect Dark, Fear Effect, Timsplitters, Shadowrun, Deus Ex) to other movies (The Matrix, Ghost In The Shell, Bubblegum Crisis) To TV shows (Battlestar Galactica) To Music (White Zombie-More Human than Human, Deus Ex Machina-I Human) to music (Billy Idols cover of The Doors L.A Woman video).......

@RaikenXion .........the soundtrack was for a while the biggest selling movie soundtrack of all time DESPITE being delayed for 10 years after the movie was released. And most importantly it makes numerous critic's best sci fi movie number 1 pick (2001 and Star Wars top some lists too).

@SCROGY But reason y I wud like a prequel is for this very scene here, where Batty is describing wot hes done in his life, to show these things maybe in a kinda flashback, cus wot he describes just sounds amazing. Maybe the critics who hold this film in such high regard wud feel these little things r just not needed and the films alright on its own, but many fans wud appreciate this. Well, put it this way wot wud u rather? a remake, or Ridley adding alittle more to his masterpiece.

@RaikenXion By the way, have you seen Soldier with Kurt Russel?
SCROGY 4 months ago
@SCROGY Yeh I hav saw that film, and I know bout it bieng referenced to Bladerunner, I remember one scene theres a spinner in the background in some junk on that planet they r dumped on. Wud hav been nice if it cud hav been officially linked to Bladerunner, and the film really needed a better director, W.S Anderson is too much of a big kid to make deep sci-fi movies. His best film Id say is Event Horizon and even that is quite simple in its plot really lol, but still a pretty gud sci-fi horror.
