So, I watched John wick 4 (spoilers)
And i liked it, but at the very same time, the first half of the movie just felt stretched.
The action was super good though.
What I wanna talk about is, the ending.
When they showed us that he died, I was still like, nope, cannot happen.
Closure is great, but the whole point of him fighting was to get his freedom back.
And he got it, and then he died.
It was amazing in one way, one can even say He died a free man, away from the burdens of the table.
Another interpretation that I can think of is, he most probably went underground, on paper he's dead, yet he's not, because if he was alive and everyone knew, the table having given their word would somehow still not leave him alone, also the innumerable number of people who would get an amazing reputation by killing him, so someone will always keep on pursuing him
So maybe he's dead on paper.
But then again, a part of me feels like it'll be okay if he died there, free from everything, remembering his wife, watching the sunset.
Because I don't want to see him go back to nothing, living a peaceful life, yes. But going back to nothing, and the mind works in such a way, that at some point he would realise the number of people he has killed, the blood, the deaths, it haunts you somehow.
So in some way, I'd be okay to perceive the end where he dies, he wins, he remembers her, and he is peaceful while alive, even if for some few moments.
I was still sad though. I didnot like the sight of him dying.
Another thing about the movie. I don't know why, but some scenes seemed illogical. Wick fought much, MUCH dangerous people and killed them, yet when it came to the man who killed his uncle, he struggled. That was not like him. And again the bodyguard, the one who threw him away from the stairs. Even there he struggled. A slight part of me also felt like the dialogue delivery could have been better. I LOVE KEANU reeves. But i still felt like it could've been some better.
Overall, the movie was great, except the first half, it was sad, the action scenes were absolutely amazing. They make the movie come alive. I also loved the color themes, the portrayal of colors of red blue and green. Also how the movie contained similar bits from previous parts. They were similar yet not, so it felt like some Easter eggs thingy.
Over all, I will always love John wick. He is the best person in combat and the eyes, so kind. So so kind. Make him a killer, but the kindness within him cannot be hidden.
