The Russian gangster brother’s description of John Wick is very accurate, with perseverance and clear goals, John Wick perfectly defeated every fight.
But there is always a tiredness on his face. Many times I thought he was too tired. Does the director have to let him take a breath and take a break? Or I think forget it, don’t chase it, or you will never end your life. Now, the next game he started again.
This is the most exhausted protagonist in an action drama I have ever seen, but it is also the protagonist who feels the most persevering. He can fight to the end of the world without reconciling himself or trying to make himself feel better.
This is a man who "does not forgive". It reminds me of the movie "Manchester by the Sea". It also depicts a man who "does not forgive", but in "Manchester" he is a man who "does not forgive himself" and does not forgive. My daughter was killed because of drunkenness and failing to put out the fire in time. After many years, my ex-wife remarried and persuaded him to live a good life, but he insisted on letting himself live a sullen redemptive life, and John Wick "don't forgive others", you provoke me Then you have to pay the price, even if you kill 800 enemies and lose a thousand, I will have revenge. This is considered unwise in a civilized society.
I still remember that the first Russian boss said that we are civilized people and should be resolved in a civilised way. John Wick responded to "Do you look like me civilised?" Here I saw that I was hooked. What is a civilized society and what is a civilized person is sometimes enough to be civilized.
Modern society likes to talk about reconciliation the most, because adults must learn to reconcile themselves. Without this, you can’t live anymore. If you don’t forgive yourself or others, you will suffer forever, just like in Manchester. The father who works in the community to dig out toilets insists on self-punishment. I can’t do “not forgive”. That’s why I like "Manchester" and John Wick more. I love their uncivilized, unreconciled and uncompromising qualities. I like the vigor of these ideal characters, which modern people may think Those traits of "stupid".
John Wick is Keanu Reeves himself, and Keanu Reeves is John Wick, a tired but never-ending middle-aged man.
PS This film is really the best advertising video for continental hotel. I also fantasize that I can experience a killer one-stop service.
