TomJH Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I would like to shine a little spotlight on Alan Rickman (1946-2016) and his performance in Die Hard. I'm assuming that there may be a history of Englishmen playing villains in American films but Rickman seemed to take this to a new level which ushered in a whole slew of imitations. Perhaps it is no accident that his 'Hans Gruber' is Nazi-like in his cold, clinical, sociopathic brilliance. But in an evolving PC world having the villain played by an Englishman seemed to avoid a lot of cultural stereotypes and trappings. That is until it was overdone. Rickman is, indeed, memorable in his role. Die Hard has always been a special film to me. I'm a little disappointed that almost no one on the thread has made reference to Bruce Willis's performance, the price, I suppose, for any actor branded an "action star." I think Willis is quite remarkable in this film. In any event here's a review I wrote of the film a few months ago: Die Hard (1988). I recall the adrenaline rush of excitement I felt at the show when I first watched this major action hero hit in 1988. I can't really say that I'm a huge fan of the genre so popular for its fast edits, CGI effects, exploding soundtracks and over-the-top fantasy heroics. Yet this one hits all the right spots for me, having just seen it again for the first time in some years. Aside from the brilliance of the action scenes under John McTiernan's dynamic direction, the film is probably fondly remembered by many for its sense of humour sprinkled throughout. The screenplay is also deliberately anti-establishment, which undoubtedly adds to the appeal. All authority figures in this film are made out to be pompous or buffoons, whether it be the head of the L.A.P.D., the FBI or the media. It's the "little" guys that are the heroes of this film, which is, I guess, part of the film's proletariat appeal. Of course, Bruce Willis's John McClane is a super hero, performing all kinds of impossible stunts and only looking a little damaged at the end of it all, bleeding feet and all. But Willis still plays him as a person who cares about his wife and family (he's hoping to repair an estranged marriage at the film's beginning), and he is allowed one touching scene in which he sensitively expresses his regrets about that marriage. And when it comes to relatable characterizations from a "little" guy perhaps few would be so effective as Reginald VelJohnson, as the pastry eating LA police sergeant with whom McClane communicates throughout his ordeal on a walkie talkie. VelJohnson has an everyman appeal here that makes him most engaging. (The absence of cell phones in this film is a reminder that it was made almost three decades ago). Of course, all super heroes need a super villain, and Die Hard certainly provides that in the form of Alan Rickman's memorable calculatingly intelligent, cool under pressure and totally cold blooded portrayal of Hans Gruber, the German head of the "terrorists"/robbers who take over a 35 storey LA highrise, holding 30 people captive. Rickman has about as many memorable moments in this film as does Willis, including a climactic slow motion finale for his character. It was a pleasure to once again watch Willis, perfectly cast in the film that really put him in the front rank as a film star. He has become largely branded an "action star" since though he has been in a variety of other film roles, as well. The actor really got himself into terrific condition for this film, his charm is apparent throughout, as well as his physical credibility in action scenes, and his ability to bring some leveling humour to a moment of action or suspense. What I've seen of Willis in the past ten years or so seems to be an actor largely walking through his roles, with a minimum effort as he collects the pay cheque in largely second rate films. Die Hard is a reminder of what an excellent actor he could be in the right role. His insolent cry of "Yipppee Ki Yah, mother*****" to the villain will remain one of the indelible line deliveries of action movies, one for which he will always be associated. It was a statement of McClane's defiance against overwhelming odds that will make an audience laugh and cheer at the same time. It was also a brief tribute to old time cowboy stars. Bravo, Bruce! There have been four sequels to Die Hard (so far). The first two were serviceable action films, while the fourth and fifth entries in the series were fairly negligible efforts. No surprise, I suppose, that the 1988 original is the sole one in the series that deserves to be ranked as a classic of its kind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Here are the 1988 movies that I haven't seen: Alice Crossing Delancey Drowning By Numbers Grave of the Fireflies A Handful of Dust Heart of Midnight The House on Carroll Street La Letrice Landscape in the Mist Life is a Long Quiet River Little Vera Madame Sousatzka The Moderns Moon Over Parador The Prince of Pennsylvania Rented Lips Salaam Bombay! Spike of Bensonhurst Stars and Bars A Summer Story Things Change The Wash A Winter Tan A World Apart The bulk of the films that i have seen above did not actually figure in my personal performance lists. Heart of Midnight is an odd film that won't be to all tastes. Both Jennifer Jason Leigh and Brenda Vaccaro figured in my runner up lists and Leigh will get Danny Peary's Alternate Oscar nod for 1989. Leigh inherits a nightclub from an uncle and moves in to renovate it. Is it haunted? Was it a house of kink? Leigh lives in an apartment above the club and doesn't bolt when things get weird. That's probably what makes the film interesting. Both James Wilby and Kristen Scott Thomas featured in my runner up lists for A Handful of Dust. it's a solid drama about a crumbling upper class marriage. Little Vera had 4 performers that featured quite high on my list. Most notably Natalya Negoda as Vera and Yuri Nazarov and Ludmila Zaitseva as her parents. Her father is a vodka swilling alcoholic and her mother is away with the fairies. Vera meets and falls in love with a young man and they plan to get married. When he moves into the already cramped apartment things really start to boil over. This is Soviet kitchen sink. Mira Nair shot to fame after directing Salaam Bombay!. It is a pretty hard look at an orphaned boy's life on the streets. Raghuvir Yadav as the boy's drug addicted friend (above) was one of my picks as was Anita Kanwar who plays the boy's prostitute mother. Things Change is well worth seeing for Don Ameche who seemed to be coming into his own again in the 1980's. He plays someone who is appointed fall guy by the mafia . Joe Mantegna plays his 'babysitter' until things go down. Nobu McCarthy as the elderly neglected Japanese American wife of Mako in The Wash who decides to make a break and develop a relationship with another man was on my runner up list of actresses. I believe it only exists on vhs at the moment. Though she didn't figure in my list Jackie Burroughs (1939-2010) won Canada's Genie Award for A Winter Tan which is actually a 1987 film. It is based on a true story of a woman who likes to vacation south for the boys with tragic consequences. Charlotte Rampling did a similarly themed film with Vers le Sud (2005). A World Apart is well worth seeing. Its trio of actresses, Jodhi May, Barbara Hershey and Linda Mvusi shared the acting award at Cannes and better still made my list too. May plays the daughter of activists in South Africa during apartheid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Here are the films from 1988 that were mentioned that I have not seen as yet. Lair of the White Worm with Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi and Amanda Donohoe A Short Film About Killing with Miroslaw Baka, Olaf Lubaszenko, Krzystof Globisz and Jan Tesarz Torch Song Trilogy with Harvey Fierstein I've only seen these three! Despite the scarcity of titles, and the length of my unseen list, I should mention that I have seen 245 movies from 1988. Just not the right 245 movies, I guess. A Short Film About Killing is good, and actually made a real change in its home country after its release. Poland suspended capital punishment for a time to review their policies. A shorter version of this is featured as part of Kieslowski's Dekalog/The Decalogue. Torch Song Trilogy is decent, as well, based on Harvey Fierstein's play. It's another step into the mainstream for Gay Cinema. I enjoyed Lair of the White Worm, although not as much as Swithin, I think. It's bizarre (it was directed by Ken Russell, after all), but not as indulgently tedious as some of his more "outrageous" 70's films. Amanda Donohoe makes for a photogenic snake-woman, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraSmith Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hanussen is the final part of István Szábo's loose trilogy, after Mephisto and Oberst Redl. It's based on true events. Erik Hanussen (Klaus Maria Brandauer) was a Jewish clairvoyant who didn't foresee that becoming friends with the Nazis could lead to trouble. Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbour Totoro are two Japanese anime features that helped to establish Studio Ghibli as a leader in animation. I'm not sure how they managed to sneak into an actors' poll. Alice (Neco z Alenky) is an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland by Czech director Jan Svankmajer. It combines puppet animation and live action. Too much of the story is told in voice-over, but it contains some effective scenes. A good introduction to his original style is the one minute film Meat Love, about two steaks that fall in love with each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually heard of all four of these, although I didn't know what Hanussen was about. Alice and Grave of the Fireflies are both included in the 1001 Movies to See Before You Die. My Neighbor Totoro, like most Ghibli movies, used to rent all of the time back in my videostore days. It's one of the few from them that I haven't seen. By the time I decided to watch them, the videostores were gone. We never did have a copy of Fireflies, though, I suspect due to the subject matter being less kid friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the film. In addition to Hugh Grant, Pete Capaldi, and Amanda Donohoe, I particularly like the supporting performance by Paul Brooke (below), whom I saw in several plays with the Royal Shakespeare Company many years ago. I love the way the characters who become possessed by the worm/snake, have to wiggle and dance when someone plays a snake-charming tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Leading vs. Supporting Categories in 1989 … IMO Martin Landau was the lead in Crimes and Misdemeanors. It is Landau’s story all the way. Perhaps his reputation as a character actor and the producer’s desire to put him in an easier category lead him to be dubbed supporting. I am putting Jack Nicholson in the supporting category for Batman even though he has an extraordinary amount of screen time. This is an instance where screen time isn’t everything. Gary Farmer and A. Martinez are co-leads in Powwow Highway. James Spader and Andie MacDowell are the two leads in sex, lies and videotape. Nick Nolte and Rosanne Arquette are leads in New York Stories. Jeff And Beau Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer are all leads in The Fabulous Baker Boys. Matt Dillon and Kelly Lynch are the two leads in Drugstore Cowboy. Tom Conti is supporting in Shirley Valentine.
