Death Wish (2018 1080p) - Bruce Willis, MAY BE REMOVED SOON
Was uploaded yesterday, aspect ratio is a little weird, might be removed in a day or two.
I think this movie wasn't very popular because it came across as pro-gun, and this was a year into the first Trump administration. If you think of it in the same terms as the Die Hard movies, though, it's actually pretty good, and it was possibly Bruce Willis' last good role before he became incapacitated due to old age. This is a reboot of a 1974 Bronson film with this title, and it does a pretty good job of keeping the same theme, but updating it. The always-entertaining Vincent D'Onofrio plays a supporting role.
I thought his retirement from acting was due to the aphasia?
Yeah, that's right.
On March 30, 2022, Willis's family announced that he was retiring because he had been diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder typically caused by damage to the area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension.[66][67] The Golden Raspberry Awards retracted its Willis category, deeming it inappropriate to give a Razzie to someone whose performance was affected by a medical condition.[68] At the time of his retirement, Willis had completed 11 films awaiting release.[66][69][70]
On February 16, 2023, Willis's family announced that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.[71] According to Gregg Day, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic's Florida campus, the symptoms include difficulties with language and comprehension, and misinterpretation of instructions.[72] In a statement, the family said that Willis's condition had progressed and that "challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease".[73] They expressed hope that media attention on Willis would raise awareness about the disease.[74]
