Vangelis ----- Tears in Rain @ Blade Runner

Remembering author PHILIP K. DICK (December 16, 1928 – March 2, 1982)

Philip K. Dick's stories typically focued on the fragile nature of what is real and the construction of personal identity.

He identified one major theme of his work as the question, "What constitutes the authentic human being?"

In works such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, beings could appear totally human in every respect while lacking soul or compassion.

The story of a bounty hunter policing the local android population, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was set on a dying, poisoned Earth de-populated of almost all animals and all "successful" humans; the only remaining inhabitants of the planet are people with no prospects off-world.

The 1968 novel was the literary source of the film Blade Runner (1982).

“The source of much of the plangent poetry in Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi drama Blade Runner was the electrifying and ruminative performance by the Dutch actor Rutger Hauer,” wrote Ryan Gilbey for The Guardian.

“Hauer played Roy Batty, a replicant in a futuristic society who revolts against his foreshortened existence by going rogue and demanding a longer lifespan; when he discovers that this request is impossible to grant, he crushes his creator’s head in his hands.”

“Despite such extreme moments, Roy ended the film not as a villain but as a sympathetic creature tormented by his own mortality. Rather than killing his pursuer, played by Harrison Ford, Roy saves his life and then makes him an audience for a brief reminiscence – “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe” – before surrendering stoically to his own inevitable demise: “Time to die.””

"I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, hmmm.
... attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I've watched see Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain..."
