Die Hard Director gives his take on the infamous Christmas movie debate

There’s no way that director John McTiernan is working on the action classic die Hard in the late 1980s, he could have predicted that audiences would still debate, three decades after the film’s release, if die Hard Is it a Christmas movie or not. McTiernan didn’t decide to make a Christmas movie … not for that traditional standards of a hollywood vacation story . But the thriller starring Bruce Willis has more than enough elements linking it to the happiest season of all. Bruce Willis mom a Democrats in the House in Washington, DC give feedback on the “Christmas” nature of the original die Hard movie.

John McTiernan has weighed the question first I think the joy everyone felt on the set has become die Hard in a Christmas movie. Recently, however, the director appeared in empire movie podcasts (opens in a new tab) discuss Predator Yes die Hardand took a more Zen approach to conversation, telling hosts:

It’s not up to us to say, it’s up to the people. This is up to the public to say. If the audience decides they want it to be a Christmas movie, it’s a Christmas movie. It turns out that it is. It was not intended as a Christmas movie, although it was deliberately built around Christmas, but not with the intention of being a Christmas movie. But the fact that it’s a Christmas movie has a lot to do with, you know … because actually, from a distance, when you watch it, it’s politically rather shrill. And the only reason it survived is because the people at the studio who would stop producing it were misled into thinking it was just an action movie about a Christmas party that went wrong.

Who. But one of the reasons we keep celebrating die Hard to this day it is because John McTiernan has layered layers of commentary on capitalism, heroism and more about his actions, creating a masterpiece that was built to stand the test of time … even if the consequences are often debated to which (if present) corresponds the quality of the original. Me, I’m an apologist for Die Hard 2: Die Harder, but you can see where it falls in ours Official rating of the Jungle Glass movie .

There are so many other interesting aspects of die Hard argue, so the fact that the Christmas debate continues to revolve around him is a bit frustrating. Especially following Recent announcement of Bruce Willis’ retirement I prefer that we use die Hard as a springboard to open his contributions to cinema and the general classification of his complete filmography.

You won’t find a more passionate Die Hard fan than me. Outside of MCU movies, this is my all time favorite movie, an absolute masterpiece. But he joined films like pulp Fiction, The sixth sense, looper, 12 monkeysYes death becomes her What The best Bruce Willis movies it has never been done. Let’s put the holiday conversation on the table and start celebrating those jobs even more.
