    Most of it. The descriptions of Batty's memories in the original script were longer, unwieldy, and didn't exactly roll off the tongue. Hauer approached Ridley Scott shortly before they did the scene with his idea, in which he'd "taken a knife to" the dialogue, and added "...like tears in rain" as his own idea. The scene was the last thing the crew and cast did at the end of a 16+ hour day and the crew, mentally and physically exhausted, were moved to tears by his performance.

    Yeah it’s a very haunting, beautiful scene. Of all the movies that tried to convey a robot learning to be human, I don’t think any film did it as well as Blade Runner. The sequel was good, but more on the nose than the first one about it. Ok, my apologies for derailing the thread.

    When someone dies IRL, you spend days sharing memories and recounting how that person impacted your life. Reflecting on the lasting power of one of his performances is hardly derailing the thread. It's exactly what the thread is for, imo.

    Having seen some of his videos, I would have expected him to go out mishandling chemicals or accidentally shooting himself. He had a video where he replaced the bullet in an otherwise unmodified 9mm round with a foam ear plug and fired it at the wall in his living room, which would be a third degree misdemeanor where I live.

    I always thought the dude was overrated, famous simply for his counter culture persona and being from a famous family.

    I guess real-life kryptonite is being old and fat. Although I don’t think the science is all there.
