[misterivy]

In MEMORY of RUTGER HAUER on his BIRTHDAY - (January 23, 1944 - July 19, 2019)

Career years: 1969 - his death

Born Rutger Oelsen Hauer, Dutch actor. In 1999, he was named by the Dutch public as the Best Dutch Actor of the Century.

Hauer's career began in 1969 with the title role in the Dutch television series Floris and surged with his leading role in Turkish Delight (1973), which in 1999 was named the Best Dutch Film of the Century. After gaining international recognition with Soldier of Orange (1977) and Spetters (1980), he moved into American films such as Nighthawks (1981) and Blade Runner (1982), starring in the latter as self-aware replicant Roy Batty. His performance in Blade Runner led to roles in The Osterman Weekend (1983), Ladyhawke (1985), The Hitcher (1986), The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988), and Blind Fury (1989), among other films.

From the 1990s on, Hauer moved into low-budget films, and supporting roles in major films like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Batman Begins (2005), Sin City (2005), and The Rite (2011). Hauer also became well known for his work in commercials. Towards the end of his career, he made a return to Dutch cinema, and won the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor in recognition of his lead role in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011).

Hauer supported environmentalist causes and was a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He also founded the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association, an AIDS awareness organization. He was made a knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 2013.

Early life -

Hauer was born in Breukelen, in the Province of Utrecht, while the Netherlands was under German occupation during World War II. He stated in a 1981 interview, "I was born in the middle of the war, and I think for that reason I have deep roots in pacifism. Violence frightens me." His parents were Teunke (née Mellema) and Arend Hauer, both actors who operated an acting school in nearby Amsterdam. He had three sisters. According to Hauer, his parents were more interested in their art than their children. He did not have a close relationship with his father, and writer Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema later became a father figure to Hauer after they met during the filming of Soldier of Orange.

Hauer attended a Rudolf Steiner school, as his parents wanted him to develop his creativity. At the age of 15, he left school to join the Dutch merchant navy. He spent a year travelling the world aboard a freighter, but was unable to become a captain due to his colourblindness. Returning home, he worked odd jobs while finishing his high school diploma at night. He then entered the Academy for Theater and Dance in Amsterdam for acting classes, but soon dropped out to join the Royal Netherlands Army. He received training as a combat medic, but left the service after a few months as he opposed the use of deadly weapons. He subsequently returned to acting school and graduated in 1967.

Career:

Early works -

Hauer had his first acting role at the age of 11, as Eurysakes in the play Ajax. After graduating from the Academy for Theater and Dance, he became a stage actor with the Toneelgroep Noorder Compagnie. Hauer made his screen debut in 1969 when Paul Verhoeven cast him in the lead role of the television series Floris, a Dutch medieval action drama. The role made him famous in his native country, and Hauer reprised his role for the 1975 German remake Floris von Rosemund.

Hauer's career changed course when Verhoeven cast him in Turkish Delight (1973), which received an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language film. The film found box office favour abroad and at home, and Hauer looked to appear in more international films. Within two years, Hauer made his English-language debut in the British film The Wilby Conspiracy (1975). Set in South Africa, the film was an action-drama with a focus on apartheid. Hauer's supporting role, however, was barely noticed in Hollywood, and he returned to Dutch films for several years. During this period, he made Katie Tippel (1975) and worked again with Verhoeven on Soldier of Orange (1977), and Spetters (1980). These two films paired Hauer with fellow Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbé. At the 1981 Netherlands Film Festival, Hauer received the Golden Calf for Best Actor for his overall body of work.

American breakthrough -

Hauer made his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone film Nighthawks (1981) as a psychopathic and cold-blooded terrorist named Wulfgar. With his sights set on a long-term career in Hollywood, Hauer worked with an accent coach in the early 1980s to develop a convincing American accent. Unafraid of controversial roles, he portrayed Albert Speer in the 1982 American Broadcasting Company production Inside the Third Reich. The same year, Hauer appeared in arguably his most famous and acclaimed role as the eccentric and violent but sympathetic antihero Roy Batty in Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction thriller Blade Runner, in which he delivered the famous tears in rain monologue. Hauer composed parts of the monologue the evening prior to filming, "cutting away swathes of the original script before adding the speech’s poignant final line". He went on to play the adventurer courting Theresa Russell in Eureka (1983), investigative reporter opposite John Hurt in The Osterman Weekend (1983), hardened mercenary Martin in Flesh & Blood (1985), and knight paired with Michelle Pfeiffer in Ladyhawke (1985).

He appeared in The Hitcher (1986), in which he played a mysterious hitchhiker tormenting a lone motorist and murdering anyone in his way. He received the 1987 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the television film Escape from Sobibor. At the height of Hauer's fame, he was set to be cast as RoboCop (1987), but Verhoeven, the film's director, considered his frame as too large to move comfortably in the character's suit. Also in 1987, Hauer starred as Nick Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive as the descendant of the character played by Steve McQueen in the television series of the same name.

In 1988, he played a homeless man in Ermanno Olmi's The Legend of the Holy Drinker. This performance won Hauer the Best Actor award at the 1989 Seattle International Film Festival. Hauer was chosen to portray a blind martial artist superhero in Phillip Noyce's action film Blind Fury (1989). He initially struggled with the implausibility of the character, but learned to "unfocus my eyes, to react to smells and sounds" after meeting with blind judo practitioner Lynn Manning during his research for the role. Hauer returned to science fiction in 1989 with The Blood of Heroes, in which he played a gladiator in a post-apocalyptic world.

Commercials and later roles -

By the 1990s, Hauer was well known for his humorous Guinness commercials as well as his screen roles, which had increasingly involved low-budget films, such as Split Second (1992); The Beans of Egypt, Maine (1994); Omega Doom (1996) and New World Disorder (1999). In 1992, he appeared in the horror-comedy film Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the main antagonist vampire Lothos. He also appeared in the Kylie Minogue music video "On a Night Like This" (2000). During this time, Hauer acted in several British, Canadian and American television productions, including Amelia Earhart: The Final Flight (1994) as Earhart's navigator Fred Noonan, Fatherland (1994), Hostile Waters (1997), The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon (1997), Merlin (1998), The 10th Kingdom (2000), Smallville (2003), Alias (2003), and Salem's Lot (2004).

Hauer played an assassin in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2003), a villainous cardinal with influential power in Sin City (2005) and a devious corporate executive running Wayne Enterprises in Batman Begins (2005). Also in 2005, he played the title role in Patrick Lussier's film Dracula III: Legacy. Seven years later, he portrayed the vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing in Dario Argento's Dracula 3D. Hauer hosted the British reality television documentary Shock Treatment in 2005, and featured in Goal II: Living the Dream (2007) as Real Madrid coach Rudi Van der Merwe. He also recorded voice-overs for the British advertising campaign for the Danish butter brand Lurpak.

In 2008, Hauer received the Golden Calf Culture Prize for his contributions to Dutch cinema. The award recognised his work as an actor as well as his efforts to aid the development of young filmmakers and actors, through initiatives such as the Rutger Hauer Film Factory. In 2009, his role in avant-garde filmmaker Cyrus Frisch's Dazzle received positive reviews; it was described in Dutch press as "the most relevant Dutch film of the year". The same year, Hauer starred in the title role of Barbarossa, an Italian film directed by Renzo Martinelli. In April 2010, he was cast in the live action adaptation of the short and fictitious Grindhouse trailer Hobo with a Shotgun (2011). Hauer played Freddie Heineken in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011), for which he received the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor. Also in 2011, Hauer appeared in the supernatural horror film The Rite as an undertaker named Istvan, the protagonist's father.

From 2013 to 2014, Hauer featured as Niall Brigant in HBO's True Blood. In 2015, he starred as Ravn in The Last Kingdom and as Kingsley in Galavant. In 2016, he joined the film jury for ShortCutz Amsterdam, an annual film festival promoting short films in Amsterdam. Hauer voiced the role of Daniel Lazarski in the 2017 video game Observer, set in post-apocalyptic Poland. Lazarski is a member of a special elite police unit that can hack into minds and interact with memories within. Hauer also provided the voice of Xehanort in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, replacing the late Leonard Nimoy and was himself replaced by Christopher Lloyd following his death.

Personal life -

Hauer was married twice:

Hauer and his first wife, Heidi Merz, produced Hauer’s only child, Aysha Hauer (born 1966). An actress, she gave birth to Hauer's grandson in 1987.

Hauer was with his second wife, Ineke ten Cate, from 1968, and they married in a private ceremony on 22 November 1985. Cate was the daughter of Laurens ten Cate, the editor-in-chief of the Friesland-based newspaper Leeuwarder Courant.

Although born in Utrecht, Hauer had strong links to Friesland. He once stated in an interview with the Algemeen Dagblad that he "needed to feel the Frisian clay under his feet".

Hauer was an environmentalist. He supported the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and was a member of its board of advisors. He also established an AIDS awareness organization called the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

In April 2007, he published his autobiography, All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners (co-written with Patrick Quinlan), in which he discussed many of his acting roles. Proceeds from the book go to the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

Death -

Hauer died at his home in Beetsterzwaag, following a short illness. He was 75 years old. A private funeral service was held on 24 July. On 23 January 2020, which would have been Hauer's 76th birthday, a ceremony was held in Beetsterzwaag in his honour. Attendees included Sharon Stone, Miranda Richardson, Diederik van Rooijen, and Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven.

映画『バイオレント・サタデー』

　ようやくAmazon Primeでサム・ペキンパー監督の遺作『バイオレント・サタデー』（1983）を見ることができました。画面に出ているアイコンをいじっているうちに字幕が出るようになったのです。

　主演はルトガー・ハウアー。渋い。共演がジョン・ハート、デニス・ホッパー、バート・ランカスター。こちらも渋い。

　原作はロバート・ラドナム。一時随分人気のあった小説家ですね。

　でも映画としての出来は「？」がつきます。

　物語はあるカップルのセックスシーンから始まります。ことが終わり男がシャワーを浴びに行った隙に、数人の男たちが部屋に忍び込んで、女を押さえつけ鼻から毒薬を入れて殺します。

　その録画を二人の男が見ています。一人はCIAの長官、もう一人はその部下のようです。女を殺された男もCIAだかFBIだかのメンバーで、女はポーランド大使館の職員。情報漏洩の危険を断つために長官が女の殺害を命じたようですが、この段階では何が何だかわかりません。

　長官は女を殺された男ーーファセットという名前ですーーを呼び出します。ファセットはKGBに情報を流している３人の男が週末にタナーというテレビのキャスターの家に集まるので、罠をかけてそのうちの一人を寝返らせるという計画を立てています。長官はその計画にゴーサインを出します。

　ファセットに呼び出されたタナーは当初、ファセットの言うことを信じようとしません。しかし、証拠となるビデオを見せられ、CIA長官が直々に顔を出したので、長官が彼のテレビ番組に出演することと引き換えに計画を受け入れます。

　CIAはタナーの家に盗聴・盗撮の機器を設置します。一方、タナーは週末の間、妻と息子をどこかに行かせようとしますが、目を離したすきに妻子の乗った車を奪われてしまいます。

　必死にカーチェイスを繰り広げるタナー。幸いにしてCIAの介入もあり、車を奪った男は射殺され、妻子は救出ーー結局家にいる方が安全だということになります。

　いよいよ３人の友人たちがやって来ます。３人とタナーは大学の同級生だとのことで、放送作家で武道の達人でもあるオスターマンは一人で来ますが、医者のトレメインと証券マンのカードンは妻を連れて来ています。

　楽しかるべき同窓会ですが、３人の方もタナーにきな臭いものを感じているようで、関係はギクシャクしています。

　計画の責任者であるCIAのファセットは機器を通してタナーと連絡をとりますが、結構杜撰というか不用心で、タナーとテレビ電話で話している最中に３人が入ってきます。ファセットはテレビ通信を切ろうとしますが、機器の不具合で切ることができま��ん。仕方なくファセットは即興で天気予報を始め、テレビ番組のフリをします。

　えーっと、これ……笑うところですよね。

　しかし、事態は悪化し笑ってはいられなくなります。トレメイン夫妻とカードン夫妻はもう帰ると言い出し、車を出そうとしますが、CIAのファセットは遠隔操作でガレージの扉を閉めてしまいます。４人は仕方なくタナーのキャンピングカーに乗って帰ろうとします。

　タナーはファセットのところへ行って、「こんなことはやってられない。もうおりる」と言います。「おりられないよ」と言うファセットにタナーは「お前は誰に操られてるんだ？」と言います。

　「操られている？」と言って、おどけて操り人形のフリをするファセットの顔の不気味なこと！　名演技です。

［ここからネタバレになります。未見の方はご注意を］

　タナーは家に残ったオスターマンと戦いますが、相手は武道の達人ーーあっという間に組み伏せられてしまいます。オスターマンに言われてタナーは計画を打ち明けます。

　そこで驚くべき真相が明らかになります。３人はKGBに情報を流していたわけではなく、単に脱税か何かをしてスイスの銀行に金を送っていただけなのです。

　突然テレビがついて画面にファセットが現れます。ファセットは自分の妻を暗殺したCIA長官に復讐するために計画を立てたと言い、キャンピングカーに乗った４人を画面に映します。

　タナーとオスターマンは「車から降りろ」と叫びますが、音声は届きません。タナーは紙に大きく「Get out」と書いて４人に見せようとします。４人が車を停め降りようとした瞬間……

　ファセットは遠隔操作でキャンピングカーを爆破します。

　え？　そこまでする？

　そこからタナー＆オスターマン vs. CIAメンバーの命を賭けたバトルになります。どう考えてもCIAのメンバーの方が強いはずですが、子どもを連れて逃げていたタナーの妻が弓で（！？）参戦することもあって、CIAのメンバーは全員殺されてしまいます。

　残ったファセットはタナーの妻子を人質に取り、タナーにある条件を突きつけます。

　ところ変わって（！？）翌日のテレビ局。タナーが司会を務める生放送が始まります。ゲストはCIA長官ーータナーはシークレットゲストがいると言って、リモート画面にファセットを出します。ファセットは長官が妻を暗殺したと告発します。

　そうか……ファセットはこれがやりたかったんだ。

　ヘリコプターから一人の男が降り、ファセットの元へ向かいます。男はCIAが放った刺客かと思いきや……タナーです。

　タナーは生放送のフリをしていましたが、実はタナーの喋る部分だけは予め録画しておいたも��だったのです。タナーはファセットを射殺し妻子を取り戻します。

　なるほどそうだったんだ……って思うか、普通？

　どんでん返しを狙ったのでしょうが、このストーリーはあまりに無理やり過ぎて破綻しています。

　ファセットがCIA長官の悪事を告発したかったのであれば、多くの犠牲者を出してこんな迂遠な���段を取らなくても、タナーに言えばよかったじゃないですか。タナーは番組の中で政治家や権力者の悪事の暴露をしていますから、言えば受け入れてくれたはずです。

　また、タナーは生放送の最中にファセットを射殺するわけですが、どうやってそんな短時間で彼の居どころを突き止めたんでしょう。最初から居どころがわかっていたなら、そんな面倒なことはする必要がなかったはずです。彼の「トリック」は単に映画を見ている観客を驚かせるためのものにしか見えません。

　そして何より、CIA長官はこの後どうなるんですか。テレビの生放送で悪事がバレて辞職を余儀なくされるんですか。でも、どう見ても悪者はファセットーー視聴者から見れば長官はいちゃもんをつけられただけに見えませんか。

　最後にテレビに映るタナーの言葉が流れます。彼は言いますーー「結局テレビなんて広告収入のためのものです。くだらないと思ったらスイッチを切ってください。でも、あなたは切らないでしょうね。」

　まさかそれが言いたかったのか、サム・ペキンパー。

　これはダメだよ、サム。

追記： 　この映画の原題は The Osterman weekend（オスターマンの週末）。オスターマンが毎年決まった時期に集まることを提案したから、このイベントをそう名付けたというセリフがあるので、そこから来ています。 　客たちはタナーの家で２泊し３日目に悲劇が起こります。彼らが来たのが何曜日かわかりませんが、もし金曜日なら悲劇が起こるのは日曜日……邦題の『バイオレント・サタデー』はちょっと変だなと思います。

Rutger Hauer & Craig T. Nelson, The Osterman Weekend (1983)

[moodboardmix]

R.I.P. Rutger Hauer (January 23, 1944 - July 24, 2019)

The world-weary gaze and sculpted features of Rutger Hauer made his face one of the most compelling countenances in genre film history, whether he was portraying haunted souls of broken nobility (Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, Blind Fury, Escape from Sobibor), malevolent men on a mission (Nighthawks, The Hitcher, Hobo with a Shotgun, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or corrupt manipulators long hidden behind a handsome facade (Sin City, The Osterman Weekend, Batman Begins).

His most famous screen moment might have been in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runnerin 1982. Hauer portrayed a replicant, a synthetic man with a mayfly lifespan and the brooding angst of a Hamlet hatched in a laboratory. Hauer wrote his most memorable lines, which come as he fades into the twilight of existence.

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…”

Rutger Hauer as Ravn in The Last Kingdom (BBC / Carnival Films)
