“Let’s not do too much”: this bad science fictional fiction has managed to change the movie

Rutger Hower died in 2019 at the age of 75, leaving an acting career that includes one of the most memorable monologues in the history of science fiction film. Haucer played with Harrison Ford in 1982 Ridley Scott’s classic, Blade Runner. He played the role of Roy Bat, a rebel replica facing Rick Descard. In one of the most famous scenes of the film, Roy recalls a short monologue when it dies in the rain, 50 seconds of monologue and 42 words that became iconic, and what he himself contributed.

In its last moments, the monologue (below the blog) is one of the most moving tires of the cinema, and the actor himself is, initially, the one who cut the original script sections the night before the shooting and added a terrible final punishment.

“” “I saw something you, humans could not believe … Great ships on the fire, from the shoulder of Orion … I saw fabulous rays, the rays shine in the shade of the tanhuser’s door … It’s time.»

And so he decided to “Knife“Certain passages and added the last legendary sentence… the day before filming!

“” “The previous day, I was a little compressed and that sentence was a great end. I offered Ridley and he agreed to do so this way. We took it without pigeons.
