Rutger Hauer gives one of the most magical acting movie moments of the Century His 'tears in rain' is more powerful to watch the older you get because you start to realise life is fleeting We all want answers to our purpose in life, how long we have and why we are here Then Harrison Ford's thudding voice over comes in right when you're engrosed in the moment like a bucket of cold water tipped on your head We don't need to be told what Rutger had already expained through his amazing acting talent

I agree. I love the original version with Harrison Ford's commentary.

@JackieChan173 The shoulder of Orion is not a place you want to be when Betelgeuse goes supernova.

this film is set in 2019. Why no attack ships off the shoulder of Orion yet, NASA?

The religious symbolism in this scene is profound - I've never been moved by so many emotions in such a short editing of scenes ever again since I first saw this. A man who confesses his being sick of killing to the audience via voice over is saved from 'death' by a supernatural being with a primitive nail in his hand (hint) who accepts his own death. Church bells toll inthe background and a bird, representing a soul flies to 'heaven' depicted by the only blue sky seen in the entire film. Wow!

Okay, here's what I think: VO A DEFINITE PLUS. I watched the directors cut and was, no pun intended, lost for words at the lack of vo. In the quintessential scene between Deckard and Batty, it isn't obvious from the acting alone why B saved D's life. Also, the last line of the vo in this scene sums up the central message of the movie: the fragility of life; "all I could do was sit there and watch him die"

In the words of Frank Darabont, "Yes, I know that. Thank you for kicking this beautiful, delicate, emotional note that we were achieving right in the nuts."

@colderbeer but the narration misses the point, he didn't love life...he was terrified of dying and being forgotten, he experienced all these things, but they were going to simply fade into nothingness, something that terrifies all human beings, which is what he was, in the end, simply human.
