Behind-the-scenes production of diehards

The film Die Hard is about a gangster film that took place in Belgium. It involves the motif of friendship, loyalty, betrayal, lost innocence and fate. The characters in the film are divided into three groups: farmers, gangsters and police. Generally speaking, the film is about the conflict between regional people: the contradiction between the West Landers and Rimberg.

Although the story of the film has some realistic basis, the director denies that it is a gangster film adapted from a real event. In 1995, veterinary inspector Carl van Nopen was assassinated. Carl van Nopen is a veterinary inspector. He is known locally as "the nemesis of the hormone-selling gang". After he was removed, the gang profited a lot from selling illegal hormones. After the case, the Belgian police launched an investigation and all the gangsters involved were arrested. Seven years after the case was detected, the Belgian government legislated that it was illegal to "fatten" livestock with hormones. But facing the film, director Roskam said: "This film has nothing to do with real events, and its connection with hormone gangs is just like the relationship between Hamlet and the Danish royal family."

Regarding the theme of the film, Roskam said: "The film tells people's reactions after being cornered, their extreme behaviors and decisions. When people's lives are changed by accidents, we have no way to control our own lives, so we either become a saint or a villain. This is not a film about Indians and cowboys, but a film about good and bad. No matter how small it is, as long as it happens in life and life, it will have a huge impact on our lives, and then a series of chain events will eventually push people down to words like fate. To some extent, fate is also a kind of destiny. "
