My mother? I'll tell you about my mother...
Such an amazing movie. I have the Director's Cut on DVD and watch it often, as it's one of the few movies that stands repeated viewing, mainly because it has such an impact on your thinking about life in all its glorious and inglorious meanings.
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?
And the amazing real life moment, when Rutger Hauer completely changed the script to deliver what would become the poignant monologue of the movie only added an even greater slap to the existential chops and marked the film as one of the greats...
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 [[i]small cough] tears… in… rain. Time… to die…[/i]
The score by Vangelis was truly outstanding, but I'm also pleased that Aussie band The Bamboos released this tribute to the film...
I love everything about this film and would kill to view it on 70mm...
