Taking Another Look At ‘Die Hard’
Derek Hunter
5–6 minutes

Look, Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I know people say it isn’t, even though it takes place on Christmas Eve, there are running Christmas jokes and nearly every character who isn’t a terrorist or a jerk wishes another character a Merry Christmas. Those who say it is not are wrong. But this is not about that debate, as it is over, this is about the relationships between the characters (who aren’t terrorists).

I just have to say this at the jump: Holly McClane is a bad wife. That fact didn’t always jump out at me; I used to think she was just a wildly unlucky person who happened to be ensnared in two of the biggest pre-9/11 terrorist plots on US soil. Then I looked at her deeper.

Sure, she is unlucky. Only she and local LA television reporter Richard Thornburg, along with her husband John, were victims of both that assault on Nakatomi Tower and the terror plot to free captured drug lord General Ramon Esperanza from the Republic of Val Verde. That’s an exclusive club no one would want to be a member of.

If there's an ugly Christmas sweater for it, it has to be a Christmas movie.
