The Blank Sheet Project - Rutger Hauer - Ch. 2: Why Wait If You Can Start Now

[@desertrose1226]

What intrigues me most about Mr Hauer is his realness, in a world of fakery and shallowness. He's just himself, no airs and graces about him.

[@sophiaw.7356]

He was acting all his life. A fake person.

Fantastic energy and insightful interview. 🎬 Cheers! ☕️

No one will ever replace this wonderful, lovely human being, Rutger Hauer. Miss him very much already. And those eyes! Wow, just wow.

[@desertrose1226]

I am so sad he's passed. I think I always will be. Rutger Hauer matured beautifully from an awkward looking young boy in his early movies (Turks Fruit, Keetje Tippel, etc) to an established talented, unique and very very handsome man.

[@melvinch]

He's one of the few actors that is able to make his movie character very believable no matter how bad the plot is. RIP.

[@davidbellamy7560]

I think I understand what Rutger is saying; a really good film is one where you find yourself asking questions about, and imagining, things that are not seen or said, asking about a characters past, their future or their hopes.. These actions are inspired by your connecting with and caring for what is happening; you just want to know more and in doing so you actually participate in the story-telling. In this way there is a sort of secondary world formed and a substantial part of the film watching experience is about you filling in the gaps. It only happens when the acting is good (or when a book is well written)

Fascinating and delightful man.

[@sirfranklin2389]

So interesting and satisfying. Mr Hauer talks about film and acting but these are comments about life. Such a relief and antidote from the standard, vacuous "actor interview".

[@conrad152]

I miss him so much !!!

Inteligente y maravillosa entrevista👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@vardellsfolly5200]

Thank you or this interview!

[@djart4866]

He hit the nail on the head, it’s the spirit of the movie that makes it special

[@juliankenning]

There's something in the expressions of his eyes and how he talks, constantly moving and shifting slightly, that strangely reminds me of Bowie. It's probably the continuous searching, questioning , rather than arriving at final answers, both had in common.

[@Losrandir]

Interesting thought!

[@willembierema8552]

I think you are right. I like both men and after I read your comment the resemblance struck me. Both were also very down to earth and authentic

[@tessa7793]

Well said. They are both missed dearly.

[@juliankenning]

@@tessa7793 Indeed.

[@desertrose1226]

He had the loveliest eyes, he was so very intelligent and deep.

[@rosemarypetrilli582]

God, I just Loved Him! 💞🕊️

[@sophiaw.7356]

He looked so unhealthy......he was 68 there.......Drinking and smoking. And those blue eyes could not see all the colors. The man was color blind.

[@capoislamort100]

t k people who are very pale and blonde tend to age like crap

[@sophiaw.7356]

@@capoislamort100 Fast aging people are there in all colors ;) You have all kind of people in every kind of color ;) Live healthy , happy colorful world!

[@desertrose1226]

I think he looked better as he aged, maybe not at the end of his days but when he was in his 40s and 50s, Rutger was gorgeous. As a young twenty something I dunno, I thought he looked awkward somewhat...he had a long hair Jon Bon Jovi type look which didn't suit him. Hot as John Ryder in the Hitcher!

[@capoislamort100]

t k we know all that already, what I’m saying is, people with melanin tend to age a lot slower and better than fair skinned Caucasians

[@dolenzmcqueen8316]

@@capoislamort100 I can't see anything but him......and he was beautiful, inside and out.
