In addition, this movie pulled off a concept that I've never seen work anywhere near as well anywhere else: the estranged married couple that gets back together in the end. In most other movies and tv shows that attempt this, the couple is either so lovey dovey you can't believe they were ever estranged, or so hostile you can't believe they ever loved each other. Here, I believed that John and Holly had serious problems that led to their estrangement, yet despite these problems, they still loved each other. I haven't watched any other Die Hard film after the second one. In my head canon, they never got divorced because they love each other that much.

[@patricktilton5377]

When I saw Bruce Willis star in the new TWILIGHT ZONE episode "Shatterday" (based on a magnificent Harlan Ellison story), I knew he would have a great career in Hollywood, as he proved that his wise-cracking MOONLIGHTING character wouldn't be a stumbling block of typecasting. He could ACT -- even in dramatic roles. DIE HARD blew me away for being probably the smartest action film I had ever seen up till that point, with a terrific star-turn for Bruce. Having said that, it would be a gas to see somebody do a Deep Fake and superimpose Frank Sinatra's face over that of Bruce Willis, since the main character in the novel DIE HARD was based on was the same character that Sinatra portrayed in THE DETECTIVE -- in fact, the studio was obligated contractually to offer Sinatra the part and, luckily, he turned it down, and the novel's Father-Daughter dynamic was changed to a Husband-Wife one. Imagine a Sinatra Deep-Fake over Bruce here, maybe substituting "Ring-a-ding-ding, motherfucker!" for "Yippee-ky-yay, motherfucker!" . . . stuff like that.

It speaks of the emptiness that comes once the 'best' reach their peak, knowing they have nothing else to do, nothing else to achieve. Looking at it like that, I think it's interesting to wonder how Hans would actually feel if he had succeeded. Would he really have been happy just sitting on a beach earning 20%?

[@OneTrueNobody]

A lot, and I mean a *lot*, of what makes the original Die Hard so good is that it was based on a much darker, grittier novel about a different character entirely in a very similar (yet not quite the same) situation. The book it was based on, "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorp, was actually a sequel to a much longer and more "literary" work called "The Detective," which itself was adapted into a film starring Frank Sinatra quite a long time before Die Hard was made. "Nothing Lasts Forever," by comparison, was short and rather pulpy... but interesting nonetheless, telling the story of the now-grizzled and aged Joe Leland (protagonist of "The Detective") as he, ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time with no shoes on much like John McClane would in the movie, became the one-man obstacle to Tony Gruber's terrorist mission to publicly expose Klaxon Oil's arms deals with a dictatorship in Chile and "redistribute" the contents of their vault to the people, a huge P.R. stunt for a group of radicals. Your mention of John McClane being the "antagonist" here is especially interesting because the book this movie was based on leaves the reader somewhat in uncertainty over who the true "good guy" of the conflict even was. As an amusing detail, the "gun taped to the back" trick works without a hitch for John McClane in the movie but doesn't completely work out for Joe Leland in the book. Joe's daughter (replaced by John's wife in the movie) falls to her death along with Gruber and his hand does indeed catch on her wristwatch while he drags her down. Leland isn't able to reach her in time and she even takes a shot to the abdomen from Gruber before he even drags her to the window at all. It's a little nebulous as to whether Leland's daughter deserved to die or not, as Gruber claimed she knew what the Klaxon Oil company was up to, but she dies before Leland has a chance to confront her on the issue and get her side of the story. Oh, but don't think Leland doesn't have his own special brand of marital problems, because OH BOY, Thorp gets into that can of worms in "The Detective." The upshot is that though John McClane is written as being a cool action hero, much of conflict is based on a more down-to-earth story of a much older man who had a REAL struggle to stay on top of the game, and that translates into a very, very well-rounded action movie where all of the hero's victories feel earned through hard fighting and clever resourcefulness rather than just handed to him because the director thought it would look cool... like in the later Die Hard movies.

Watched this on Chirstmas Eve. One of the greatest action as well as Christmas movies of all time. An iconic, legendary, standout, and amazing film. A film filled with so many iconic sayings like "Yippee ki yay", references about other films, actors, and much more to even mention as well as say about this film. Like its not one of those Christmas movies about joy or happiness but a Christmas film, that is filled with action which is what makes it so unique. Its a film about emotion, being a hero, fighting, against all odds and etc. Like every single part of it was amazing, the story, the characters, the music, the action throughout the film; where no matter what, you were always on the edge of your seat as if you were the character, constantly experiencing his emotion, what was occurring, his humor, the action, it was like a roller coaster of emotions that is honestly better explained if you felt it as well as watched it since you were constantly cheering him on as well as worrying what was going to happen next, and him coming out as a hero, his legacy, alongside saving the day. Like every year, I always watch a Christmas movie with my twin brother, since he always recommends new Christmas films to watch together on Christmas and when he mentioned this, which is a film we've never watched before only until now, it really goes to show how amazing it was & probably his best pick & by far one if not, the greatest action film of all time as well as Christmas film of all time due to its uniqueness. Like I honestly can't believe how this film came out in 1988, and how advanced it was for its time, especially with how great it must've been in that era. It's honestly hard to find anything unique to this type of film like what a time it must've been in that era to be alive. Such an excellent cast, especially Willis who honestly never fails when it comes to these types of films especially when it was in his prime. Sad to see the condition he is in now, wishing him all the best as well as hearing about Gilyard passing away a couple of months back which honestly makes you look back to the film and see how amazing he was. Same with Willis when he was in his prime. Like the amount of people that still watch this film and mention about it, really goes to show how much of a legacy it has, and how its by far the greatest action movie of all time. Truly unforgettable, especially every scene which was just so iconic, amazing and so much to say about this film. Like its a neverending page of words. Like if you're picking out a perfect action film to watch that will always make you on the edge of your seat filled with emotion and always focused this is your film to watch. 5 stars.

Hans isn't the protagonist, nor is John the antagonist. The protagonist, by definition, is the main character of the story, who is forced from his normal routine by some sort of force or series of events (often the antagonist), which compels the character to move forward in the story. The antagonist, by definition, is whichever character breaks the protagonist's normal routine and antagonizes them into moving forward in the story. The antagonist's plan doesn't have to unfold flawlessly once this happens. In fact, unless the story, as Brandon Sanderson once put it, is that Frodo takes the ring to Mordor and Sauron looks at him and says "hey, my ring! I've been looking for that! Thanks; that must have been a really long and dangerous journey" before killing Frodo and taking his ring back-- the story's going to revolve around the protagonist slowly but surely ruining everything the antagonist is trying to do. That's stock standard story stuff. So it makes no difference that John's screwing up Hans's plan. The plot is still about John, the (fairly obvious) main character, being broken out of his normal routine and pushed forward in the story by the antagonizing actions set in motion by Hans. That makes John the protagonist and Hans the antagonist.

I always thought Hanz's speech about Takagi's life was a bit to show Takagi he knows all about him, getting him to reveal himself was a slight like "I'm in charge, you do what I say". He could have just grabbed Takagi and marched out but this speech was a way of controlling the situation. If not for John, Hanz had this heist set up perfectly. There's no way he didn't know Takagi by sight, and unless I missed it I don't think he was ever racist in the movie. Too suave and elegant for that.

[@mrcheesemunch]

"Looking forward to the death threats when I tackle that one" It's sad how right you are. Most of the complaints people have about the movie are straight nonsense, some of them make sense as there are a handful of flaws with the movie...but to make a petition to remove it from the franchise is just sad. I've seen people say it's worse than Batman vs Superman, which is even more depressing. Remember people, if a movie has one or two scenes you don't like IT'S THE WORST MOVIE EVER AND YOU SHOULD BE *SO* ANGRY

[@J4m35ful]

mrcheesemunch What film is it?

[@deadpool425fjf8]

The Last Jedi. Wasn't a huge fan of it, but yeah Star Wars fans are crazy.

[@rorystockley5969]

Not everybody has to like films that you like, dude. What you see as a 'nonsense' complaint might well be a genuine one to someone else.

[@mrcheesemunch]

+Matthew St. Cyr *FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, SPOILERS AHEAD* Well like I stated, most of the complaints I've seen are silly. I'm not talking a few people I'm talking many thousands. It's not some fringe group there's millions of "true" Star Wars fans who hate the movie for reasons like: "The Porgs ruined the movie" Like a tiny bit of comic relief destroys the story, and as if comedy has never been part of the series before. HOW DID THEY GET THE GOGGLES ON, MY IMMERSION! "Luke died omg why didn't he have a big epic fight! I can see why people would be upset he died and stuff, but to say that it ruins the movie within the context of everything the movie is about, is just silly. It's very well explained by Luke himself that he was done and wouldn't be enough to win. "It's too long!" It was a long movie, still a shit complaint to say that ruined it. "Snoke died too fast, this movie is fucking terrible" Even though the same thing happened with The Emperor and he done even less as a villain(until his story was filled out in later movies, something that may also happen with Snoke) "Admiral Akbar died wtf!" Yes, the most important meme character died so this movie should be removed from the franchise, that's not an overreaction at all. And again like I said, there are valid complaints about the movie. Such as, that Leia scene. I thought it was a bit much. Though The Force works in mysterious ways and it would have been morbid to just kill her off like that. Personally if I had the choice of writing that scene, Kylo would have just used The Force to throw her out the room before it exploded. It was kind of dumb but hardly "ruined" the movie. The whole Casino section and the dull romance between Rose and Finn. That section was way too long and only served to show us that boy at the end and introduce DJ, should have been way shorter as it sort of derailed the tension for a while. Still didn't ruin the whole movie. And the kiss between Rose and Finn was so out of place, nothing they did was romantic. Overall it was just dumb. Plus how she saved him during his freaking epic sacrifice. How they didn't tell Poe about the plan with the transport ships. This was kinda dumb and the only point of it was to have a twist, though to be fair it did cement Holdo's authority and made her sacrifice more impactful. It could have been done much better but Poe was being a bit of a fool in the movie so why would they tell him really.

[@mrcheesemunch]

+Rory Stockley Considering a large portion of people hate the movie for explainable parts of the story, they are nonsense complaints. People expect things to come out and be exactly like they imagined or else it's terrible, which is utterly silly. Your headcanon isn't fact and in most cases probably shouldn't be. There are people who think Luke should have swooped in and destroyed the whole First Order, as if that makes any sense what so ever. As I've detailed in my comment before this, there are some legitimate complaints but _most_ of the ones I've seen are nonsense from pathetic "fans" who don't even seem to like Star Wars. Which sums up a stupidly large amount of the fanbase. No fanbase hates the object of their affection more than the Star Wars fanbase. "We hate George Lucas!" "We hate anything George Lucas made!" "But keep George Lucas away from the franchise!" "Get this director in...actually don't we all hate him!" "We want more Star Wars!" "We hate every new Star Wars thing!" Nothing ever seems to be acceptable, apologies for not being respectful of their incredibly whiny and mostly dumb complaints.

[@SpringtrapLover2010]

Best action movie ever. There is so much realism with John talking to himself to the bad guys making jokes to lighten up the murder and make themselves ignore the bad they've done.

[@DNulrammah]

One aspect that you failed to mention was Holly's knowledge about John. Two scenes, the one where she realizes that it is John that is driving the terrorists crazy, and the scene near the end before John shoot Hans, and the other thief. That dynamic also helped to make that a great movie.
