10 Amazing Movie Monologues
10. Blade Runner - Tears In Rain
This is one of the shorter monologues found in movies, and yet it is one of the most memorable and impactful. This short and bitterly sweet moment comes at the end of the original Blade Runner film. Rutger Hauer plays an android that goes by the name of Roy Batty. Harrison Ford plays Rick Deckard, a detective hired to gun down four rogue androids, one of which is Batty.
Blade Runner was a groundbreaking film upon its release, and has remained iconic nearly four decades later. This film does an amazing job of questioning whether or not artificial intelligence can be considered conscious. Throughout the movie several of the androids show signs of real feelings, such as love and fear.
At the finale of the film, Batty and Deckard have a final showdown, which ends with Deckard falling off of a roof. Batty surprisingly grabs him at the last second, and rattles off the now infamous tears in the rain speech.
Batty may be an android, but he shows more emotion in this scene than most humans are even capable of feeling. This moment is nothing short of incredible, and will leave your body racked with chills.
Hauer sadly passed away in 2019, yet he will always live on through his various roles, especially that of Roy Batty.
