10) Setting as a Coincidence
Trending
The Christmas Eve setting in Die Hard feels more like a plot device than a meaningful choice. This party explains why the building is full of people after hours and why it is mostly empty otherwise, making it easier for the villains to take control. But beyond setting the stage, Christmas doesn’t play much role in the narrative. The same plot could unfold during any other celebration, from New Year’s Eve to a company anniversary. The holiday backdrop adds a layer of irony, but it doesn’t shape the characters, themes, or overall message. It is just there for convenience, not significance.
