Dear Bruce Willis, 12/6/17
I’ve been a fan of yours since, “Death Becomes Her,” and “Fifth Element.”
You were around much longer than that, but when those movies came out, my VHS was burned through by the time I was done with those. Naturally your role in Pulp Fiction only made me keep you on my movie radar even more. There are times when I find myself asking the numerous women of my life about their pot bellies and blue berry pancakes, just so I never forget that scene about how important the details of our lives can become.
How important they should be to us; and how wonderfully sexy pot bellies can be.
Well while I was sitting here thinking about your numerous roles and your need to always save America from itself, I was wondering, “How did Fifth Element, make you feel as an actor?”
Where you satisfied with the movie? I only ask because I always felt there was a parallel between Fifth Element and Blade Runner. I never read the book for Fifth Element and after thinking about it I wish I had. But I did read the Blade Runner series and because I only have your role in Fifth Element to make this judgement call, all I can say is for a movie all about a bad ass guy saving the world, it could have out done Blade Runner right?
It might have in viewings but what about plot line. I mean both are set in a future where there is gender confusion, political upheaval, the good guy seen as a bad guy because he will use a gun to defend himself and certain ideas brought to bare that can be seen as relatable with our present day conversation.
i.e. gender confusion(bi curious) reporters/DJ hosts giving out free cruises to ex-cop taxie drivers.
That script line always disturbed me as a child. “How could Chris Tucker dance around on set like that, then turn around and ask to fight with Jackie Chan.”
That was a sad day for Black America~
I am not a reporter, I am not looking to advance my career, I have not told you what my profession is because I’ve set to go my own way~ you all have made it; we the entertained must applaud and watch the productions.
Only after watching you in Fifth Element I could not help but ask myself, “what more did Bruce want from that movie?”
You know before you, there were very few “Action Stars,” for us young men to immolate. I mean Black kids had Wesley Snipes but he was no Bruce Willis. Snipes could run a city but he could never stop aliens or Zed the way you did.
It was just one of those things at the time I guess~ There will never be an action star like you to come either. It is so sad for me, to watch the idea of, “MAN,” die. I sit in my high tower remembering the power babe’s falling for the strong man that solved all the problems and made sense of the world. Now men are being told to back off from the sets, keep their hands and mouths to themselves, unless they are willing to kiss the same sex on camera: Which was never an option for your movie “Fifth Element” even when they had a black bi curious (reprobate minded) character; they still made him act out his fantasies on a female flight attendant:
Why do things have to change? Why does “Man” have to die and why is he only seen as a hero when he is wearing some gay costume? Another bother for me, you had all these beautiful women on stage with you, we all knew it was a movie, the love, the kissing, the blowing up of things. All an act. Of course in real life I would never test your metal. Yet not because I am afraid of you; but because I respect you. You’re an actor and I’ve come to feel when people can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is an act, then we have a problem. I’ve seen you half naked on screen with a few women in the same scene and they, “act like,” they are interested in you sexually, it helps the movie along. But you know I could never ask have you done anything with them off set.
It’s none of my business…you know.
Then the question arises why are the men the only to blame.
Doesn’t it take two to tango?
Your fan,
