And rightfully so. It’s one of my favorite monologues ever. To think he rewrote what it started as, into this brilliant monologue the night before the shoot of the scene.
Mysterious, scary, handsome (she's right, he's an extremely handsome man!)...intelligent and enigmatic, Rutger Hauer is a Dutch legend. He is so polite and sweet in this interview too...I've seen many interviews with him, he's quite cheeky at times! He's my fav actor. That face of his is like a work of art..expressionfull...
This beautiful man is no longer with us. This is how I remember him now. Young beautiful and the world at his feet. RIP sweet handsome and charming Rutger x
i know the year he died my sister was saying he was due at a convention type thing , im 48 and was 13 when i first liked him. I didnt get the chance :( my dad passed the following year xx
It's nice to see so many people admiring Rutger's handsome features, I thought I was the only younger person who liked such features, not many of my millennial gen like Rutger's manly looks! I do think his look is rare. I've never saw nor met a man who looked anything similar. He was darling!
I remember seeing him in Nighthawks (1981) and he was terrifying, then when I saw him in Blade Runner I realized, that he was a true top level actor and like most I was blown away, I instantly started following his career, a true legend and amazingly talented! He had a blog a decade or so before he died, it was really cool, he traveled around America on a motorcycle with his dog, there was a really funny video he posted, where he was eating lunch outside at a restaurant in Big Sur (California) called Nepenthe, he's filming the surroundings and then pans down to show his dog on the ground with water, then pans up to his face and he gives that little wry sideways smile he was known for, it looked a mischievous, it was so funny and great!
In Blade Runner I really didn't see his character or the other protagonists of his group as villains, they were cold blooded but the were given a very raw deal from the start and were in Danger every second they spent on earth.
He was very polite and almost shy when he was young! As he got older he got more brazen and confident, and swore a lot more! Lol...he was amazing though at any stage.
I was an extra and had the joy to work next to him a full night doing an horror movie ,he was so gentle ,not pretentious ,very simple . So sad he is gone now .
I love his answer. From his point of view he is just trying to live. It’s why his performance was so good. He totally embraced his role. A great actor. I think the best villains are ones that believe what they are doing is right. Blade runner was such a great movie. I still enjoy watching it every couple years.
She is completely preoccupied with his sex appeal and repeatedly say so, in so many words. I met him at a horror movie convention when he would have been in his late 60s and even then, in person, he WAS dead sexy. I suppose the poor woman was bowled over here. hahaha She should have tried to be a bit more personal. It is funny to see him realizing that he has "got her". He must have been used to it.
I have a feeling in those days Rutger wasn't into personal stuff I think he could be a little shy when he was younger. I know if I'd been in this girls shoes I'd have been trembling and very shy myself. He was dreamy and so striking ..intimidatingly so!
I just watched Nighthawks for like the 20th time. I've been a fan of Rutger's ever since I first watched Nighthawks when I was 14 in 1981. Miss him. So humbled he was. 🙏❤⚘️
andré bruinsma I agree, she seemed to have a simplistic view of the movie. I know that my viewing of the movie was informed by the short story (I’m a fan of Philip K. Dick) but it seemed to me that anyone would realize that wanting not to die or be killed would not make someone a villain. The androids were a race of slaves whose 4 year life span was put on them to force them to be more concerned about survival than gathering political power.
I love this guy such a talented actor. He is greatly missed and the Dutch are so proud of him. He never left the Netherlands 🇳🇱 permanently because he loved his home 🏡 please was Soldier of Orange 🍊 which is a pacey spy film about a true story of a Dutch resistance fighter. Rutger Hauer play rhe lead hero!
Love Soldier of Orange. I always felt it was Paul Verhoeven's underrated gem. People always talk about the Black Book (his late work), but Soldier of Orange (his first work) is already interesting. Poor Guus.
English is not my native language, so I consume a lot of English content to learn. These two people speak so clearly and beautifully that it is good to listen to them.
Rutger Hauer is his name and was for my generation in the sixties the first Dutch (Nederlands) actor that we all loved, playing a knight that faught for getting back his castle in a Dutch tv series called 'Floris' that stayed with most of us all of our lives. Still in black and white off course.
Rutger Hauer as Floris his first television part as a knight with a castle on a Horse fighting with his sword together with his friend a middle east magician on a smaller Horse against the villans of that period of time. In black and white and about 20 years of age that he was then.
I loved/love him best in Blade Runner as Roy Battey a replicant who is trying to survive being hunted by Harrison Ford. Its emotional and gripping. Please watch some of Rutger's Dutch films which are very good and depicts him so differently. He is often the hero or lover being so very handsome. Soldier of Orange he is magnificent as a Dutch resistance fighter (its a true story about a national hero) who fights the Nazis but pretends to be on their side. The film 🎥 was released 1977.
Sarah I get you, I understand but this interview was many, many years ago. It was a different time, not our “#me too” era and yes I was objectifying him with my comment but from my point of view it is an appreciation of his beauty, may he RIP.
@@angelinajoanie tbh I’m a sucker for the good looking blond men but tbh not many are- especially nowadays. Rutger is the most handsome man though I’ve ever seen.
Rutger Hauer gives the best an actor can offer. I laughed when i saw the i feel flattered expression on his face when the interviewer said you are a extremely handsome man. BTW his official group on facebook deserves More Awareness. So just drop by the Rugter Hauer official on facebook and say hello, he needs his fans.
Great Actor - when “acting” was still relevant. So many great, memorable roles: The Hitcher , Blade Runner, Night Hawks , Lady Hawke, which were the more commercially viable films. Seems like he didn’t get as much of a visible opportunity after the 80’s , though he was in a lot of films.
its interesting, he seems to have the same thought gesters, speed, and delivery of speeking...usually its totally different . . .seems like its Roy Batty in the interview I love it! and to see that he has a heart for batty
Amazing... Such a deep understanding of played character... That reminds me of Daryl Hannah's blunder on one of Kill Bill interviews, where she told she played "creature from cosmos" in Blade Runner.
Roy Batty was not a villain. He did some villainous things, but he was no villain. And even though Roy was a replicant, he possessed some very human traits, and his character grew. Ultimately, he wanted what we all want: to live, to live well, to be happy, to love and be loved. Anti-hero, perhaps, but no villain.
The interviewer missed the whole point of the movie. The replicants had more humanity than the humans. They just wanted to live free and not be slaves. Deckard guns down unarmed sentient beings in cold blood. Deckard is the villain.
@@ricky302v8 jf sebastian was part of the process that limited the replicants life spans. Tyrell used Sebastian to control replicants. He had to die to stop others suffering the same fate.
Lol. You're talking about someone who probably saw the movie once. How many movies did you misinterpret or miss plot devices after one viewing? This is well before the internet, blogs, RU-vid, audio commentaries, etc discussing and analyzing every single moment.
the owl ....right.......who knows........once you are into the mistery religions......it is mindblowing......like seeing the world for the first tme.......with new eyes........
He was a handsome man looking back. In Bladerunner he looked a little manic and intimidating instead. He's English is excellent and Dutchies speak excellent English usually.
A frustrating interview. Rutger seems to be interested in talking philosophical meanings and systemic critiques of Blade Runner yet the interviewer keeps derailing his thoughts towards an objectification of him and his character as merely an object or even villain with sexually gratifying characteristics.
Years ago and before he had made an American film, I rented a foreign movie on VHS called Daisies with Rutger as the leading man. The movie was fairly lame, but Rutger must have left an impression on me because sometime later I saw him in a early role here in the US and was a huge fan thereafter. Fly with the angels my friend.
2:21min He loved the character description ... if good or evil is not important..... and I think, to play a good villain is much harder then to play the good part.... RIP Rutger
He was gonna play Max Zorin in a view to a kill but producers decided late on to give the part to Christopher Walken, shame he would've made a great Bond Villain
Casting for Bladerunner was amazing. In some ways hes more handsome than Harrison Ford, but Scott and the producers rightly sensed that American audiences would side with the American. Plus, they diwnplay his looks in a lot of those Bladeruuner scenes. But honestly, he stole the film.
