Kenji Asakura Wrote: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 Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.Thanks, Kenji.
Hmmm..........what a touching speech!
vikingfan Wrote:Yeah, thanks Kenji. That is exactly it. Those words always put such great images in my head. I love how much insight a person gets into Batty's life from such few words.I read the book a long time ago and didn't really understand it, though I don't remember why.
Any of you people read the book the movie is based on? Though the movie is much, much different I think you would all like the book. One chapter in particular was just amazing. The book is "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick.

I had thought it was longer, but I guess not. Am I the only one who likes the original movie with the voiceover better than the Director's Cut? Why can't they put both voice tracks on the DVD?

BTW... Batty's speech was not scripted as it was delivered. Rutger Hauer [re]wrote his dialogue only moments before the scene was actually shot - and brought tears to the majority of the suprised crew's eyes.
