5. That scene, is in fact, the one that stuck in my mind over the years.

I probably haven't seen the movie in 20 or 30 years; although I did see "Blade Runner 2049" with my son when he was a Freshman in College during "Parent's Weekend."

Now that I am old, and nearing the end of my life, I very much feel "Tears in rain."

It's considered, as I understand it, a classic movie, and it actually makes one pause and think about what it is to be human.

Apparently Rutger Hauer wrote the key lines himself, after cutting out a ton of hyperbole in the original script, retaining only a few lines.

The way he performs the scene is incredible.

I recently called this scene up on the internet, because I was thinking about "tears in rain," which is why I decided to watch the whole movie. It kind of makes "Blade Runner 2049" make more sense.
