Die Hard (1988)
Watching Theology July 3rd, 2007
[NOTE: Explicit Content] With the release of Die Hard 4, theologians all over the world are asking, "What is it about John McClane that causes bad things to happen?" In this edition, we focus on the film that started it all, with John McTiernan's new-classic action film, Die Hard. Along the way we ask questions about fate and the reluctant hero. Is McClane a savior of biblical proportions - or at least biblical tradition? How does that overweight, twinkie-eating cop fit into the divine plan? Plus, we listen to our favorite sound bites and attempt to talk philosophy without destroying a perfectly good movie.
Watching The Directors next edition: July 24 - Stanley Kubrick
Next WT edition: July 17 - Francis Lawrence's Constantine (2005)
