Product Description

He came to mainstream prominence as a machine more human than his creators in Blade Runner, terrified us as a hitchhiker bent on his own death and the death of anyone who got in his way in The Hitcher, and unforgettably portrayed a lonely king roaming the night as a wolf and pining for the love of a hawk during the day in Ladyhawke.

Rutger Hauer has dazzled audiences for years with his creepy, inspiring, and villainous portrayals of everyone from a cold-blooded terrorist in Nighthawks to a blind martial arts master in Blind Fury, but his movie career was nothing compared to his real-life adventures of riding horses, sword fighting, and leaving home at fifteen to scrub decks on a freighter and explore the world.

From poverty to working with a traveling theater troupe to his breakout European performance in Turkish Delight and working with legendary directors such as Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop and Basic Instinct) and Ridley Scott (Alien and Gladiator), Hauer has collected All Those Moments here.

For fans or theatre students
As a huge fan of Rutger's, this book was an eye opener about his life and his path to being a star.From his humble beginnings, to his adventures in theater, to his current Hollywood status, this is a must-have for fans.

Optmistic and pleasant reading.
If you're a Hauer fan, you'll probably enjoy this book. It's utterly optmistic, it doesn't feed upon gossip and dirty backstage tales. Also, the fact that all profti form the book is going to charity was a strong factor that made buying it.

However, like some people already stated, he simply did not mention the amazing quantity of turkeys he shot after "Blind Fury". He gives hints, through his brief descriptions about visits to Manilla, Indonesia, etc, that maybe the reason is simply that he wanted the paycheck. IT would be interesting to know hwy its career in major movies derailed so suddenly.

Anyway, a good read.

A Fun Read
Since I am a huge fan of Rutger Hauer, this book could have said anything and I would have bought it.But it was very interesting and, it was surprisingly uplifting.Who knew that Rutger was such an optimist.I really like it.

A Replicant's Biography
Sometime around 2006 Rutger Hauer's car breaks down somewhere near Cape Town in South Africa. A tow truck operator is finally found after dusk has set in. The man arrives, takes a look at the actor and says "I can't believe I am meeting you here. Blade Runner is my favourite movie."

Rutger has had a long and winding career in the arts spanning from small-time stage and screen productions in his native Netherlands in the late 1960s onto more recent Hollywood flicks like Batman Begins Batman Begins (Full Screen Edition). Hauer has no lack of stories to retell, experiences to recount and memories to reminisce. Yet, it is Blade Runner Blade Runner (The Director's Cut) that to this day captures the most hearts and minds. Not only does Hauer allocate more space to the film he calls "The role of my life" than any other (although not a considerable feat given some of Hauer's other films), but also Blade Runner fans would enjoy learning the trivia and information shared by the book. There is information here on how his participation almost didn't happen, the lines he contributed and all that other stuff. In fact, this book's name, sub-title, title font and back-cover quotation are all Blade Runner references.

Hauer has a lot to say about other roles he has taken on, film industry experiences and also opens up emotionally a little. His encounter with Sly Stallone in Nighthawks Nighthawks is an interesting one, as is C. Thomas Howell's reaction to him in The Hitcher The Hitcher. The writer himself refers to his mid-'80s work and career as his prime-time. Then again, recent appearances in Batman Begins and Sin City Sin City might constitute something of a re-entry into the big leagues.

Speaking of which, while Blade Runner is Hauer's definitive performance he was known in the '80s by many (including myself) from his role in The Hitcher. That was the commercial success that probably propelled Hauer to become famous. The Replicant, though, has had a much longer shelf life since its incept date.

All Those Moments' proceeds go to the actor's Starfish foundation, which cares for those afflicted with Aids. It has much to say about the Dutch man, the film industry in Hollywood and without. It even has a few things to say about others in that industry. The book is an interesting read for those who know Rutger Hauer, but also for those who should know him.

Much More Than Just Roy Batty, A Fascinating Read
Hauer's autobigraphy is of a man who has been successful through talent and luck, and never forgets that both have played an important role in that success.From a younger boy to accomplished actor, Rutger Hauer's life is described in a tone generally lighthearted and definately readable.

Just a couple of chapters are dedicated to working with Ridley Scott in Blade Runner.If you are a fan, these alone are worth the price of the book.However, I found that the remainder of the the book give an continuously interesting insight into a great working actor and his works.Highly Recommended. ...

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 - 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M. C. Escher (English pronunciation: , Dutch: ), was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations. Maurits Cornelis, nicknamed "Mauk", was born in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. He was the youngest son of civil engineer George Arnold Escher and his second wife, Sara Gleichman. In 1903, the family moved to Arnhem where he attended primary school and secondary school until 1918. He was a sickly child, and was placed in a special school at the age of seven and failed the second grade. Though he excelled at drawing, his grades were generally poor. He also took carpentry and piano lessons until he was thirteen years old. In 1919, Escher attended the Haarlem School of Architecture and Decorative Arts. He briefly studied architecture, but he failed a number of subjects (partly due to a persistent skin infection) and switched to decorative arts. Here he studied under Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, with whom he would remain friends for years. In 1922 Escher left the school, having gained experience in drawing and making woo...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
