My friend made a seven hour drive down to visit me so we could watch the second movie in theaters and now I'm flying cross country to visit him so we can see the third. I'm more hyped for this movie than I was for avengers and game of thrones combined. Hearing all the good reviews coming in is just the cherry on top. John Wick Forever.

Google recommended me this article yesterday: The John Wick Universe is Cancel Culture https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2020/1/7/john-wick-and-cancel-culture quote:John Wick’s real name, we learn, is Jardani Jovonovich, a Belarussian gypsy raised as an assassin. Wick is nicknamed Baba Yaga, the Boogeyman, for he is the master of assassination. Who are most gifted in using social media to sow chaos and division in the world, especially the United States, than the Russians? Having lost the Cold War they’ve come back in a more fluid and confounding form. quote:In a social media context, we can think of Wick’s dog and his car as representing those beliefs we hold sacred. When Wick loses his car and his dog, he is every one of us who sees one of the values we consider intrinsic to our personal identity impugned by some stranger on social media. That the perpetrators are Russian is nothing if not reminiscent of Russian agents sowing discord in American society in the run up to the 2016 Presidential election. quote:As on social media, violence begets violence. Since Wick refuses to let the matter go, Viggo, to protect his son, sends a preemptive hit squad to assassinate Wick at his home. We never fight a single target on social media because the public broadcast nature of social media always rallies others to the cause. quote:John Wick 2 begins with him retrieving his car from a chop shop owned by Viggo's brother, which requires Wick to kill not only Viggo’s brother but his fellow goons. The car takes serious damage in the firefight, much like the beating we take defending ourselves online, but Wick eventually emerges with his car and new dog and then returns home to bury his weapons cache. He thinks he is out of the game once again. The Ninth Layer fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jan 9, 2020 |
