In memory of Rutger Hauer:

January 23, 1944 – July 19, 2019.

Brilliant character actor, director and writer.

He wrote the dialogue for this scene, his character Roy Batty’s farewell monologue, in Blade Runner (1982):


“I’ve 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.”


This is one of the most emotionally moving scenes in cinema history.

I've been a fan of Rutger Hauer, and the movie Blade Runner, since I first saw it in the cinema, in 1982.

Rest in peace, Rutger Hauer, and thank you for all you gave us.
