  • @randombencounter263
    @randombencounter263 9 лет назад +10

    Die Hard is genuinely a fantastic Christmas story. It's all about how love and faith in eachother can overcome greed and ambition during Christmas time.

    • @Fyreflier
      @Fyreflier Год назад +1

      My stepmum's favourite Christmas film is It's A Wonderful Life; she gets very upset with us (me, dad, sister) when we tell her that not only is "it's only a Christmas movie because it's set at Christmas" but also "that makes Die Hard a Christmas movie". After all:
      They're both set at Christmas
      They're both, as you point out, about how love and faith can overcome greed
      They're both about a man who realises just how much he values his wife and kids
      And there's a theft of a lot of money
      CHRISTMAS!

      Kate Mc Gowan my year five/six teacher was slightly nuts and every year would come onstage dressed as one of the characters from the school play. As we did several nights each year, he had the chance to dress up several times. From memory, I saw him dress up as:
      -a chough (a rare bird similar to a crow, but not evil)
      -a hula girl (complete with skirt and coconut bra)
      -a maid (in a production of Robin Hood)
      -one of Robin Hood's enemies (they had a brief sword fight before he was locked in a large dog cage/prison and wheeled out of the hall)
