Tears in rain
Posted on 02/05/2017 11:12:01 AM PST by JoeProBono
"Tears in Rain", also referred to as "The C-Beams Speech", is a brief monologue delivered by replicant Roy Batty (portrayed by Rutger Hauer) in the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. The final form, altered from the scripted lines and 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.

Rutger Hauer is great! Playing the Huntsman character, he turned my little daughter’s `The 10th Kingdom’ into Fearnet

I thought the movie was overall mediocre except for that scene.

Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods.”

Clearly they’re not too worried about global warming in 2019.

It’s always been my favorite, even before the critics.
