Undoubtedly one of the most popular actors of his generation, Bruce Willis has played in many blockbusters. Here is a somewhat subjective list of his 5 best roles.
Suffering from aphasia, Bruce Willis has announced that he is ending his career. Sad news for his (many) fans who will therefore no longer be able to see their favorite actor play a new role. But that shouldn't make us forget that "John McLane" has built a legend of cinema that has been shown in many films to see or see again. Here are 5 of his greatest hits .
When we know that Terri Gilliam is directing, we suspect that the film we are about to watch will have a somewhat special atmosphere. Free adaptation of the French short film La pier (which you can also consult on YouTube), The Army of the 12 monkeys is a post-apocalyptic film in which James Cole (Bruce Willis, therefore) is sent to the past to prevent the spread of a deadly virus.
A somewhat wacky scenario, set against a backdrop of time travel , which is also an opportunity to see Brad Pitt step out of his usual simple BG roles.
For some, Pulp Fiction is the best movie you can see Bruce Willis in. For others, Pulp Fiction is the best movie of all time. In this gangster film, Bruce Willis plays the role of a professional boxer (Butch Coolidge) who refuses to fix his match, even if it means killing his opponent with his fists.
It is a cult film in which several intrigues intersect in a non-chronological way, all in a bath of Tarantinesque violence . It's hard to forget Butch's shouting matches with his brainless girlfriend, the tall tale of his dad's watch...and a certain scene in the back room of a pawn shop!
Definitely, the 1990s were good years for Bruce Willis. In 1998, he signed one of his greatest roles by playing Harry S. Stamper, in Armageddon. The pitch? A “Texas-sized” asteroid is heading towards Earth and threatens to destroy our beautiful planet. Only solution:send a team of astronauts led by Stamper to destroy it . Well, we won't spoil you, but the end is rich in emotions!
For the record, Deep Impact came out the same year and was also about a menacing asteroid. Except that Bruce Willis did not appear in the cast...
One year after Armageddon , Bruce Willis played Dr. Malcolm Crowe in Sixth Sense , by Night Shyamalan. So, it's really complicated to talk about this movie without seriously spoiling you, but know that in Sixth Sense , Dr. Crowe, who is a psychologist, talks with a little boy (Haley Joel Osment) who reminds him of one of his former patients.
If Sixth Sense became cult, it is clearly thanks to its mythical turnaround which only makes you want to watch the film directly to discover all its hidden details.
Finally, we end with the most legendary role of Bruce Willis:that of John McClane in the Die Hard saga. O.K., not all the films in this license are created equal, but it is clear that the first part (entitled Piège de cristal with us) is a monument of cinema. Here, Bruce Willis plays a cop who finds himself in the middle of a hostage situation, one Christmas evening, at the top of a skyscraper.
Crystal Trap is fabulous entertainment full of bravery, heroism, scenes and cult lines . The film was even copiously parodied in La tour Montparnasse infernale .
