During an interview in the 2000 BBC documentary On the Edge of ‘Blade Runner’, Ridley Scott confirmed that Deckard is, in fact, intended to be a replicant. ' Tears in Rain ', also referred to as 'The C-Beams Speech', 1 is a brief monologue delivered by replicant Roy Batty (portrayed by Rutger Hauer) in the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. Changes made in the later Director’s Cut, however, introduced hints that Deckard himself might be a replicant (the “unicorn scene”, and Gaff’s unicorn origami). The original version was “lightened up” a bit by the studios. The second reason is more subtle, and more speculative. It is, in my opinion, one of the single greatest moments in the movie, and is one of the primary reasons why I consider it a true classic. It is one of those moments that flips the perspective of the entire narrative, and suddenly the “bad guy” is now the sympathetic victim of a system that never gave him a chance. The first, and most obvious reason Batty spared Deckard’s life is to demonstrate that he (Batty) understood the value of life, and what it meant to be “good”, better than Deckard, the supposed protagonist of the story. Aren’t you the ‘good’ man? C’mon, Deckard. He directly taunts Deckard’s supposed moral highground: “Not very sporting to fire on an unarmed opponent. He breaks his fingers for Pris and Zhora, and asks Deckard “proud of yourself, little man?”. Roy Batty, throughout the final confrontation, points out Deckard’s failings. In interview with Dan Jolin, Hauer said that these final lines showed that Batty wanted to “make his mark on existence … the robot in the final scene, by dying, shows Deckard what a real man is made of.”. Rutger Hauer, the actor playing Roy Batty, improvised that speech a bit at the last moment, cutting some of the scripted speech, and adding a bit of his own improv. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. Tears in rain Ive seen things you people wouldnt believe. I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. The first is that, during his final moments, Roy utters his awesome “Tears in the Rain” soliloquy, which extols the wonders of life, and despite its complexity, how utterly fleeting and transitory life is: I feel there are two reasons Roy saved Deckard. At the end of Blade Runner, why does Roy Batty catch Deckard as he is about to fall?
