Rutger Hauer died in 2019 just like Roy.

"I've seen such great movies you politicaly corrected people wouldn't belive" The Critical Drinker
-
"Final act of redemption by saving a man's life is also an act of rebellion against his creators. Proving that he can be more than the killer they tried to make him because he chooses to be something better." Well said Drinker, well said.
-
Theory: Roy saved Deckard because he realized that this is the end, he is going to die and he can’t do anything about it. Except one thing, he wanted a longer life and he realized that the only way to archive it is to save Deckard, because then he would keep living - in Deckard’s memory. Anyway I’m drunk

"You were made as well as we could make you." – God "But not to last." – The Critical Drinker's liver
-
He lives alone, drinks too much and doesn’t have any friends. I see why Drinker loves Blade Runner
-
"You Nexus, I build your eyes" "If only you could see what I have seen with your eyes" Jeez, you can't not love dialogue like that. It's almost like the writers had a talent for writing or something.
-
I like that Blade Runner doesn't hammer you over the head with its ideas. The action is in the foreground, leaving themes to register almost subconsciously, until they pop into your mind on nights when it takes a little longer to fall asleep.

The good old days before they spent $100,000,000 on the special effects and $10 on the script.
-
“He lives alone, drinks too much, and doesn’t have any friends.” I can identify.
-
The "tears in rain" speech. Probably one of the single best ad libbed lines ever delivered perfectly! My 2nd favorite film of all time!
-
as a cynical 55 year old, every time I hear Roy's soliloquy I'm brought back to my young self in the cinema and the beauty of his words makes me well up still. As kids we knew we'd seen a masterpiece. I still like the voiceover version best.
-
"It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?" What a line.....
-
You mean a film that prioritised acting, music, screenplay and authenticity over identity politics is good
-
I always thought Roy saved Deckard so he wouldn't die alone. He wanted someone to be there....
-
Fuck me now I want to watch Blade Runner again for the 20th time. A masterpiece.
-
One of the finest movies ever made. You did it justice, Drinker.
-
"Roy's final act... is also an act of rebellion." That's beautiful, Drinker.
-
Drinker, you've outdone yourself with this review. It's just as thoughtful and poetic as the movie. Brilliant work!
