die hard

die hard is one of the best action films i have ever seen. bruce willis plays a wise cracking tough guy (in another of the white cop black cop buddy movies) who goes through hell foiling the plans of a group of terrorists/thieves. i have seen the movie many times and every once in a while watch it again for the fun of it. what do i get from this movie? bruce willis never gives up, though he apparently is outnumbered about 15 to 1. in a way it is a film about not giving up, about continuing to fight, and hoping against hope that the end will be a good ending, that you will survive. he's a tough guy. he's a warrior. and he will fight to the bitter end for what he knows is right. he will not back down. and he will survive and win out against all odds. the music is also great. the beethoven's ninth is great as well. yes, to be honest, i am interested in cop movies, about police detectives, about tough guys, because being a police officer or a police detective is a tough job. say what you want about them, they're putting their lives on the line every single day they're on the street. in that sense it is a samurai (warrior) film.
