New Poll Shows Most People Don’t Consider ‘Die Hard’ To Be A Christmas Movie, So Can We Bury This Argument Already?
It’s the holiday season, which means it’s time for being to argue incessantly over whether or notDie Hardis a Christmas movie. Every year, this subject comes up, to the point where the argument has grown tired and stale. Hoping to put an end to this once and for all, a new survey was conducted, and came up with a definitive result: most peopledon’tconsiderDie Harda Christmas movie. Obviously, this will be the last time this is ever discussed, and we can all move on now, right?
I loveDie Hard. I’d go so far as to say it’s a perfect movie! I also am of the opinion that it’s a great movie to watch around Christmas time, since Christmas plays a big part in the flick. Does that make itofficiallya Christmas movie? I don’t know – and I don’t really care! I just know I love the movie, and that’s enough for me. But for others, this is a big sticking point. People have been arguing overDie Hard’s Christmas movie status for several years now, nearly sucking all the fun out of the Bruce Willis action film in the process.
In attempt to settle this debate before Christmas, Morning Consult and the Hollywood Reporter got together to run a survey, asking participants where they fell on the “IsDie Harda Christmas movie?” argument. According to their results, “one-quarter of the population said the film is a Christmas movie; 62 percent disagreed.” That’s just 25% of the population, vs. 62%. Also: “Men are slightly more likely than women to sayDie Hardis a Christmas film (32% vs. 20%), and there’s partisan agreement (26% of both Democrats and Republicans say it’s a holiday movie).” There’s the silver lining to this story:Die Hardis the only partisan topic left in America.
Here’s how the poll was conducted, in case you’re curious:
This poll was conducted from Nov. 15-18, 2018 among a national sample of 2,200 U.S. adults. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, and region. Results from the survey have a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.
Obviously, these results don’treallysettle the argument. Nor should they change your opinion. If you thinkDie Hardis a Christmas movie, there’s nothing stopping you! This is all in the name of fun. you may read thefull reporthere, and then feel free to watchDie Hard, which is absolutely, 100% a Christmas movie, no matter what anyone says.
