Die Hard Questions

So obviously the debate has been settled now for years and years.. Not only is Die Hard A Christmas movie, Die Hard is THE Christmas movie .. but beyond that, upon watching it again this evening for, conservatively speaking the 300th or 400th time (prob more like 500)- i had another revelation.. not only is it a Christmas film, but it’s actually a pretty decent romantic comedy… the whole thing basically from the first frame of the movie until the last, revolves around John’s attempt at reconciliation with his estranged wife, who has taken to using her maiden name.. their relationship is basically THE ONLY REASON that we give a crap about what happens in the building, who got blown up, or who lives and dies.. even one of the funniest lines in the movie (hence the romantic ‘comedy’)- is when Holly the wife realizes that the terrorists are in a pickle and says ‘Only John could drive someone that crazy’…. without that relationship and those two characters - you would not have a movie, full stop .
