And McKee reckons that it´s this moment which gives Rutger Hauer´s character MORE humanity than Ford´s...ultimately losing audience sympathy for Deckard in favour of Roy Batty! Powerful stuff...

For me, it all rested on that one brief second when he glanced up and sideways at Harrison Ford. That brief moment of realisation and acceptance of his fate in the presence of the human he had been trying to kill, the human he could never truly be. Without that look, his words would have been less than they became. I can't believe a director would have asked him for this, and I'd like to ask him if he saw this look in the words set out before him, or did he find this from within himself and used it to enhance what was written.
