00:02$5 million

00:03This is what Bruce Willis' agents managed to negotiate.

00:06A record that matches the controversy it will generate in Hollywood

00:09Because yes, before Die Hard, Bruce Willis had already made his way in television.

00:13Starred in a film

00:15But he never really carried a big production on his shoulders

00:18So much so that the film's promotional posters abroad

00:21They will prefer to highlight the building rather than the actor.

00:23This exorbitant figure for the time would irritate the Hollywood studios.

00:27Who are afraid that from now on any television actor

00:30Vienna demands a huge salary

00:32But at that time, Fox really wanted to make this film

00:34And all the actors considered for the role refused

00:37From Stallone to James Caan and Richard Gere

00:40She must therefore give what the only actor likely to accept her role demands.

00:43Moreover, this is not the first time that Willis' agents

00:46They make him a lot of money thanks to a Die Hard

01:23Willis, who has clearly navigated his career well, will more than deserve his salary.

01:27because he will turn this character into a true hero of popular culture,

01:31He brought to it his wit, his humor, his sarcasm, his legendary laugh,

01:36but also its vulnerability.

01:38Come see me in Los Angeles, we'll spend Christmas with family, we'll have a party.

01:42You already know this, but John McClane is a character who stands out completely from the heroes.

01:46A Reaganite of the time. He wasn't made of abnormal muscles, he didn't cause events.

01:50He endures them. And on top of that, he's afraid of flying. However, what I think is...

01:54the origin of

01:55His success lies in the fact that he represents the average American. A guy who earns a pittance.

01:59for a grueling job, who is on the verge of ruining her marriage, who

02:02finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that's where Bruce Willis's choice comes in.

02:06becomes brilliant. A counter-cultural choice, certainly, but one that makes sense with the vision of

02:10John McTiernan offers us much more than an action film, a Shakespearean comedy

02:14as he likes to call it, an anti-capitalist film. The opposition between McClane, the American working man

02:19in a tank top, and Hans Gruber, the cultured European in a suit. The fact that the media are turned

02:24ridiculed through an expert who isn't really one, and who intervenes on

02:27a TV panel when he has nothing relevant to say, not to mention that journalist

02:32who is willing to put the hostages in danger just to get a scoop. The agents

02:35of the FBI, Johnson, who are just trigger-happy maniacs, never really recovered from the

02:39Vietnam is only good at blowing everything up without worrying about collateral damage.

02:48Takagi, a prominent Japanese businessman who wears the same suits as Gruber,

02:52Notorious criminal. In short, all of this is not insignificant. McTiernan depicts the nihilistic vision

02:56that he has of 1980s America, a self-centered, materialistic and lacking America

03:01cruelly human. Harry Ellis's character is a good example of this. A trader

03:05under the influence of cocaine, who thinks everything can be solved through business, which will cost him the

03:09life. This same Ellis who insists that Auley show John his Rolex, a Rolex that represents

03:15the ultimate trophy of the American Dream, which she will literally have to get rid of

03:19at the end of the film to free oneself from evil. The metaphor speaks for itself. It is

03:23This makes John McTiernan a true auteur who knows how to convey his messages effectively.

03:27entertaining its audience with a skillfully executed production. Here the camera

03:31is a character in her own right. She represents, in a way, the viewer who, through

03:35its perpetual movements, will understand the action that is taking place and especially where it

03:39takes place. Because Die Hard is a closed-room drama and therefore must perfectly manage its

03:43space so as not to lose the viewer in this labyrinth that is Nakatomi Plaza.

03:47Jeb Stuart, the film's first screenwriter, visited the tower during the writing process and he

03:52says he didn't get lost thanks to a risqué poster put up by the workers, which...

03:56allowed him to know where he was. He would reuse this method in his screenplay

04:00and McTiernan will elevate this brilliant idea, which will not only allow McLean to know

04:05where he is located, but also to the viewer.

04:08This adaptation of Roderick Thorpe's novel completely reshaped the way of

04:12making action films at that time. And a whole host of films would copy this

04:16concept subsequently without infusing it with the genius of McTiernan and his team.

04:20Die Hard was a worldwide success, giving Bruce Willis international fame.

04:24However, the film's success is also due to two other important factors. Firstly

04:28Alan Rickman, who brought a certain composure and credibility to the character of Hans Gruber, was able to imbue him with a certain composure and credibility.

04:33which makes him one of the best bad guys in action cinema.

04:36It was done at three in the morning, four times, and it was the last film I made.

04:43on the film. And then I realized that while I was making it, it was the last film because if

05:02I thought, "Oh, it's Hollywood. If I mature, it doesn't matter because they have the

05:07the rest of the performance.

05:09But for us French, it is Patrick Poivet who truly deserves his share of the honor. He reassures him by transcribing

05:14Bruce Willis's witty dialogues, delivered with such ease that he would later become the French voice actor.

05:18official with the actor for over 30 years, providing unforgettable moments for viewers

05:23French speakers thanks to a legendary voice that we won't soon forget. Yippee-ki, Monsieur Poivet, and

05:28Thank you for everything.

05:30After Die Hard, Bruce Willis doesn't want to be labeled an action movie actor.

05:34He would therefore take a surprising turn in 1989 with three completely different works. A hero like

05:40many others, a drama directed by Norman J. Winson, which earned him a nomination for best actor

05:44at the Golden Globe. That's Adequate, a mockumentary about the facets of Hollywood where he plays his

05:49He played himself alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller. Not forgetting Look Who's Talking, where he lends his voice

05:54his voice to Mickey the baby.

06:01All these efforts will not prevent him from returning to action in 1990, resuming his role

06:06John McClane in Die Hard 2, 58 minutes to live.

06:09You made a mistake about the person, the time, and the island.

06:17This is the story of my life.

06:20A French title that doesn't really make sense, especially since it's called Die Hard.

06:24It at least had the merit of being somewhat poetic. The film is quite successful; it's a good way to spend an evening.

06:29moment

06:29For sure, but nothing new either. It's just a simple rehash of the first one; they're doing it all over again.

06:33The same codes, but applied less effectively. So, well, tough luck, John's still at

06:37bad

06:38wrong place at the wrong time, in a confined space on Christmas Eve, where he finds himself having to face a

06:42a bunch of bad guys led by their leader.

06:45But damn, what's he doing? The guy's playing cowboy with the remote, the

06:49penis

06:49Out in the open. Okay.

06:51It should be noted, however, that the graphic violence is much more pronounced and typical of the director.

06:55Regny Harleen, and a pace that thankfully never falters. The film will be a huge success.

06:59commercial success and offers the actor a great entry into this new

07:02decade, which he will realize with a bold choice by filming under the direction

07:06Brian De Palma's The Bonfire of the Vanities. Bruce Willis begins to define an archetype

07:10of a character, the American close to the people. Mr. Everyman who will nevertheless

07:14to find themselves in extraordinary situations and to get out of them.

08:02Die Hard with Vengeance, or Die Hard with a Vengeance, is the first film in the Die Hard saga, based

08:08based on an original script. After handing the reins to Regny Harleen for the second installment,

08:12John McTiernan takes back the reins and decides to destroy all the foundations he has laid.

08:16brilliantly set up with the first film to rebuild on the rubble of a

08:20Akatomi Plaza has an extremely solid foundation and is the opposite of what action cinema is all about.

08:24Since then, well, the first Die Hard. The formula has been so thoroughly exploited that it

08:29Not a drop remained, McTiernan could not see himself going back to yet another closed-door film.

08:32He will therefore once again appropriate the genre and reshape it to his liking.

08:46In the first installment, the tension is suffocating; the trap is indeed set by Cristal. In this one,

08:52The cold Los Angeles night gives way to the stifling heat of New York. The threat lengthens.

08:57The vastness of Manhattan Island, in the open air. We give the first film 20 minutes to establish

09:01his

09:02The stakes and its characters are explored before the action finally begins. John McClane is swept along by events.

09:06is simply unlucky. The 3 provokes action in the first few seconds and develops

09:11His plot unfolds from there. John is no longer there by chance; he is the root cause of everything.

09:15these

09:15plot twists. The staging, however, is much more dynamic. It embraces the gigantic set.

09:41that is the city of New York and operates at a frenetic pace which gives the narrative a crazy fluidity.

09:45The camera work is much more shaky than in the first film. But that's not a bad thing.

09:49Rarely at that time had a camera been seen following the protagonist so closely.

09:53It gives the impression that it's being held by a war correspondent. With this very realistic style,

09:57McTiernan continues to leave his mark on an entire industry, as evidenced by his work on One Day in the Life of McTiernan.

10:00Hell, we are witnessing the beginnings of what action cinema of the 2000s will be.

10:25McTiernan composes shots of great relevance, continuing to brilliantly guide the viewer

10:29in space without ever getting lost there, which must not have been a thing

10:33easy with a city

10:33as gigantic and complex as New York. A true tour de force. And even in enclosed spaces,

10:38The understanding is complete. Let's take the elevator scene as an example. In this scene,

10:42John finds himself locked up with enemies, disguised as a law enforcement officer. He suspects nothing.

10:46until he glimpsed, in the elevator's reflection, his teammate's nameplate, which he recognized.

10:51because at the beginning of the film, he explains that it's his license plate number that he plays all the time

10:54like a lottery number.

10:55At that point, any movie today would have introduced a flashback, but not here.

11:00McTiernan respects the intelligence of his audience. From there, the tension builds with a succession

11:05close-ups, but McLean defuses this tension by launching into a tirade that is uniquely his own.

11:09which will allow the viewer to recall that lottery story from the beginning of the film, and which will

11:13to allow the character to turn the situation to his advantage. The action begins, John kills the two

11:19guards on his right, blocks the third one and aims at the fake cop, then kills them one by one

11:23role,

11:23All in less than 20 seconds. Personally, that reminds me of something.

11:34Because yes, McLean is the modern-day cowboy, the bad boy with a heart of gold.

11:38The magnificent loser, smarter than his enemy.

11:51This film is one of my first experiences with cinema. I remember watching my father convince a kid

11:56I watched the film with him at age 12, and I especially remember being completely galvanized by

12:00This story. Because yes, the script is brilliant. It uses the principle of the game Simon Says.

12:04To develop the plot, which will ultimately prove to be just a diversion, it's totally cool. It brings some

12:09increasingly audacious adventures, even if one can easily assert that the end is

12:13A failure, far too conventional after such a well-crafted plot. There is an alternate ending.

12:18where Gruber survives, and John finds him in Germany to kill him. I don't think that's a good idea.

12:22plus one

12:22A relevant ending, and I think that in any case, it was almost impossible to finish a film that had managed to

12:27setting the bar far too high from the outset. Bruce Ulysses, for his part, confirms that he has the

12:31the role of his life.

12:32He is often mistaken for his character, and yet he remains in good company, since he will be reunited with his partner.

12:37from Pulp Fiction,

12:37Samuel Jackson, as well as the brilliant Jeremy Irons, who has nothing to be ashamed of compared to his fictional brother,

12:43Alan Rickman. The film's success will, of course, be phenomenal, reaching the top of the world box office.

12:48'year

12:491995. However, this would not be the actor's only ambitious project that year.

12:532006 will be one of the most eclectic years in the actor's career. He will appear in 16 Blocks,

12:57a thriller directed by Richard Donner, Over the Hedge, a Dreamworks animated film where he lends his voice to a

13:02raccoon,

13:03Fast Food Nation, a comedy-drama based on a documentary that examines the workings of the fast food industry in the USA.

13:09Sliven, a somewhat wacky gangster film in which he plays a hitman,

13:12and Alpha Dog, a drama by Nick Cassavetes, which recounts a slice of American youth and its misfortunes in

13:18through a kidnapping story based on real events.

13:20There were many proposals at that time, and many pretty cool things, but success wasn't so much the case anymore.

13:25appointment.

13:26In 2007, he therefore chose to return to what had made him successful. He started by taking on freelance work.

13:30in Dangerous Sedictions with Albery,

13:32which he returns to after The Last Boy Scout, and decides to cash in even more by reprising his legendary role, that of the

13:38the unluckiest cop in New York.

13:44So, I'm not going to lie to you, Die Hard 4.0 is one of those guilty pleasures I love to rewatch.

13:49From time to time.

13:50Obviously, it's far from the mastery of John McTiernan, but Len Wiseman, who also directed Underworld, which I

13:56I like it too,

13:56does a pretty good job of putting on a show.

13:59It's actually funny to think that it was Bruce Willis himself who pushed for it.

14:03Wiseman is directing.

14:04because he had loved the first two Underworld games, citing them as unique projects that were mastered from beginning to end.

14:09The idea for a fourth Die Hard film is not new.

14:11A scenario had been circulating since the late 90s, and McLean was originally supposed to find himself in the jungle

14:16Amazonian woman to fight the bad guys.

14:18Fortunately, the story will be rewritten to portray it as a cyber-terrorist attack on American soil.

14:22that old McClane, who doesn't understand any of this technology, will have to stop with a good right hook

14:27in the face,

14:28and his nerd sidekick played by Justin Long.

14:31Timothy Olyphan portrays an antagonist a world away from the class of Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons.

14:36But it will still get the job done, thanks to some effective muscle, Maggie Q and the French stuntman Cyril.

14:41Raffaely,

14:41who will also have a stuntman during the film, even though he is himself a stuntman, a fictional job

14:46A little.

14:46You're a real hamster!

14:48All these characters revolve around a rather interesting and well-developed story.

14:51which does not aspire to tell more than what can be seen on screen,

14:54and which consequently relays that this fourth installment of the Dayard saga ranks as an effective but unremarkable player

14:59more.

14:59We are still treated to some great action scenes and very generous chase sequences.

15:03Everything is handmade with real pyrotechnic effects; there's actually a car that crashes into a

15:07helicopter.

15:08And the film offers spectacle, that much is undeniable.

15:10It arrives at a time when 24 is a huge hit.

15:13It therefore follows the aesthetics and rhythm of the series, with very fast-paced shots and saturated photography.

15:18but retains an old school aspect that shines through in the character of McClane, particularly through his punchlines which are still as effective as ever.

15:24"You just shot down a helicopter with a car?"

15:26"Never again bullets."

15:28Dayard evolves with the times, manages to reinvent itself, and this fourth installment clearly has its place in the

15:33saga.

15:33Unlike the fifth and final installment, which, let's be honest, should never have seen the light of day.

15:38We go from the American coast to Chernobyl.

15:40The film travels through time, resembling an old pro-Rigan propaganda film from the 80s.

15:45Americans against Russians,

15:47totally predictable twists and a lowbrow plot.

15:50The McClane son has no charisma, the action is completely incomprehensible.

15:53The photo is so oversaturated it's incredibly ugly.

15:56Even the image ratio doesn't make sense.
