    Sir Anthony Hopkins reciting the scene from Blade Runner.
    Sorry about the quality, it's the only one I could find. How ironic, a Sky HD advert but with bad quality.

    The three Best adverts ever - this, the hamlet cigar advert in the photo booth and the coal advert with the dog, cat and mouse in front of the fire place !!!

    You know Blade Runner is a special film when the likes of Anthony Hopkins quote it.

    Great advert and background music. Anthony Hopkins is a world class actor and orates the classic lines from "Bladerunner" superbly.

    Every time he says the last two lines, I start to cry a little. Just the way he says it then the beaming smile afterwards just kills me.

      Turia , your right "like tears in rain" from Hopkins is brilliant, try pinks song sober - "I fear the silence cos it screams the truth"
      If you have sleeping issues you will really relate to this lyric :)

    It doesnt matter about the quality.
    Its his voice. The quote. The music. The feeling.
    I love this advert. Quite possibly the best advert ever made, in my opinion.
    Thankyou for your upload.
    Take Care x

    Indeed he does. And what he says about the 'Tears IN Rain' scene in Blade Runner is spot on. My favourite cinema moment of all time.

    “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” - Roy Batty, Blade Runner (1982)

    The 2 best adverts ever - this and the Sony ad where they blow up the tower block in Glasgow

  • @bongo874able

    I hate to sound corny but this advert will " stay with me forever " - Anthony Hopkins talking about a brilliant film, a great setting, amazing song in the back ground and sky tv.
    A really nice advert :)

      I thought this the moment I first saw this ad about 10 years ago. I knew it will engrave into my mind for the rest of my life, everything about this ad is perfect, the scenery, the music and they even chose one of the best story tellers in the world.
      Today we don’t see such eloquent and passionate ads anymore, we only see regurgitated pc drivel.

    Agree'd, Bladerunner is one of the best scifi's ever made. I love this advert, the music, the setting, Mr Hopkins and I even find the female narrator's voice very calming. Good stuff :)

    What are you talking about? He even says "in Blade Runner a scene with Rutger Hauer". In the longer advert he quotes Gloria Swanson from Sunset Boulevard.

    Ive seen things you people wouldnt beleive, attack ships on fire of the shoulder or Orion. I watched C- Beams, glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain.

    I think it was a good advert and i'm glad hopkins didn't put too much emotion into it, nobody will ever be able to get even close to the original and i think hopkins knew that so didn't try. The ad will remind people of one of the greatest speeches in film history.

  • @spunjamin
    @spunjamin 15 років тому

    I'm pretty sure he's talking about "The Shining" starring Jack Nicholson - adapted from a Stephen King novel

  • @staercky
    @staercky 15 років тому

    Except that he's not trying to recreate the scene - he's just showing us what it's like to relive a classic movie moment in your head (something I'm sure we all do everyday - it's just that Anthony Hopkins can deliver it with beautiful, consummate ease).

  • @duchyofwarsaw

    Is it wrong to prefer this version to Rutger Hauer's? I prefer Hopkin's intonation.

  • @Reighlech
    @Reighlech 15 років тому

    Yea me neither, try some Ludovico Einaudi stuff instead, very similar and I know you can buy his stuff as sheet music
