Even as longtime actor Bruce Willis retires, his wide range of outstanding films will endure the test of time.
On Wednesday, March 30, 2022, the world received the news that a cinematic era was coming to a close. The acclaimed actor Bruce Willis, star of a whole host of iconic films from the action classic Die Hard to the sublime comedy Moonrise Kingdom, would be retiring from acting. A sad moment for all who admired his work, it also marked the beginning of an outpouring of love for the actor and his long career of outstanding films.
This was most clearly seen a few years later in the underrated cult comedy Death Becomes Her. The film saw Willis really letting loose in playing the bumbling Dr. Ernest Menville, absolutely crushing the role alongside the similarly great performers of Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. Even as it got torn apart upon its initial release, a newfound appreciation has been gained for how goofy and biting it is.
That is before we even get to Shyamalan’s other masterful film, Unbreakable, where Willis reunited with the writer-director. It ended up being one of his most complicated roles that still holds up because of the actor’s commitment. It approached its material with a more somber sensibility that would not have been the same without Willis in its lead.
