Wow I'd never consciously considered this when watching the film. Loneliness being a theme in this movie and Christmas time/movies is a revelation. I'll look at this movie in a new light now.
I like this alternative take on one of my favourite movies, and now I'm wondering if all the movies I love also hint at the idea of loneliness or of being alone and of the meaning for connection. Thank you. Something I'm going to reflect on.
In Bruges is my favorite Christmas movie, right next to Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Thin Man. It doesn't all have to be Santa hats and stockings. Unless it's Bad Santa. Hope you've enjoyed your holidays, Matt. xo
Die Hard was a great movie. And yes, I think it's a Christmas movie. The movie is clearly set during Christmas, and (as this article eloquently argues) the story revolves around Christmastide themes: the joys of family, tender romance, etc.
This is a good analysis. The theme of love triumphing over evil, life triumphing over people committed to death, is also within the broad scope of a Christmas theme.

I think it lies underneath a lot of the things we love to watch and read.
