Sorry for the late video. I filmed this before Christmas and was hoping to get it up around then but got sick. Instagram said they still wanted to see it though. I'm very curious what you think about the end of the video. Who is the good guy in the book??
Miss Anda, you're not helping decrease my tbr list!!!! Girl, I would say stop, but then I'd be sad. I'm totally reading the book, your take on it is great and to me it made it look more interesting (considering I never watched Die hard for lack of interest)
🌿I've never seen the movie. I think I'm the only person who hasn't(?) It's interesting to hear an overview of the movie and book. Darling Santa hat! I love your videos. 💖
We get a much clearer description of Leland in the prior novel, The Detective. “36 years old. 5 foot 10. Weighing 140 pounds. Dark brown hair, thick and cut short. Didn’t part it. Fair skin with a faint translucent quality. Dark lips that seemed moist when they weren’t. His brown eyes were his most attractive feature and two barely noticeable scars in his brow from a car accident.” So, imagine that but about 13 years older, I guess, since The Detective came out in ‘66 and NLF in ‘79. Wish Thorp had carried that over into his sequel. Also, no. The reason he kills the last couple of terrorists was out of revenge. Steffie is dead because of these people and the company’s shenanigans with the Chilean Junta. He wanted no witnesses because he was planning to throw out Klaxon’s money like Gruber claimed he was going to do. And after all he went through he wasn’t going to be Klaxon’s patsy. That’s why he wanted no witnesses. It wasn’t because of any kind of association with the company He doesn’t care what happens to Klaxon, he owes them nothing.
I had no idea the book was so different than the movie! I'm not sure there was a good guy either. Also, do you have a book discord? I thought you'd mentioned having one but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Plot wise they’re similar enough. But they tell different stories. The novel is about an old fighter with regrets haunted by his failures seeking some form of redemption that never comes. The title “Nothing Lasts Forever” reflects that. Die Hard is a far more straightforward action story by comparison. The story and characters were changed so much that the title didn’t fit anymore. Hence why it’s called Die Hard.

In the film it was a beretta he had taped to his back. Not a browning.

Interesting! In this case I actually prefer the changes they made for the movie. And weirdly enough I am v much more on Tony's side (in the book).
