I feel like John Wick is building up to an emotional and poignant finale. I wouldn't really want the series to go on indefinitely as that would rob it of the sense that John is fighting a war he can't win. That's what hits me so hard about these movies. Wick is a near mythic figure of death and destruction, but he struggles for every little victory he has and that struggle is permeated with the sense that it's leading to an inevitable, inescapable tragic conclusion.
We are witnessing his profession post-wife and all the emotions he repressed/never required/had available prior to his meeting his wife. Having somewhat of a soul will, at times, impair/impede necessary actions to be performed. His character prior to his wife was one of an efficient killing machine and even though there were "relationships" in his life, they were mainly on a "business level". This is a world within a world, one that revolves around the notion of honor and respect among killers and thieves. A world we know in reality does not exist at level at this point in time. There may have been a time when this environment had its moments, but they were fleeting.

I could make a video essay on how good this one is. The editing, the breakdown, just breathtaking. 13:42 - 13:53 is probably the best part of the editing besides the beginning AMV. I had never noticed those symbolic wings or halos and you pointed it out without even talking about them specifically. This is just a really good video.
I've been reading John Kreng's book about how to film action and there is an interesting note he makes about how fight directors in China are stars just as big as the director and receive awards as well as fanbases of their own. With the John Wick series putting fight directors and stuntwork to this level in the west (even starting rumblings of stunt oscars), it makes me wonder if it hasnt started a revolution.
We're truly in a Keanu Renaissance. John Wick's getting a little too over-the-top with the third installment but since it's a great excuse for awesome action, I'm all in for the ride. Let's just hope The Matrix sequels can continue Keanu's action legacy without ruining his original action franchise....
I'll never forget the general mood to the first John Wick before it came out. "Oh, another lame awful movie by Keanu Reeves? The story is about a guy who kills people who killed his dog? Is this for real?" Boy did this movie prove everyone wrong. Word of mouth spread about how good it was and to not expect it to get this far is an understatement. Glad I'm not the only one who loved the second John Wick of the trilogy. Most people I spoke to preferred the first JW the most.
Just wanna drop by to appreciate your god tier editing. Like jesus christ, that Enter the Dragon to Ruby Rose fight was simply flawless! Keep up the good work.
Above all, John is a character we're rooting for. We want him to survive, which means that we're caught up by the story. In a lot of films, the action is pointless and over the top, but the action in John WIck movies makes you root for John and hope for his survival.
I'll be personally happy if they end with Chapter 5 so long as it's a proper ending like the final chapter in a trilogy: a true conclusion. Ending on Part IV is just weird... my opinion.
As long as Hollywood takes care of him and he has the desire and energy to do it, I don't care that he's getting old. I'm not trying to project myself into him or something. Fuck this ageist noise. (I know you probably didn't mens it this way, but it comes off as it)
Winter by Vivaldi is my favorite song of all time, and the intro you edited with her in your video is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, PERFECTION.
I still remember when I first entered a theater with all in mind that it's Keannu so I want to watch this. The movie theater wasn't in a blast, there's not much crowd out there watching, but gosh, we all witnessed greatness in there and began to spread the "word of mouth" for one of the best action franchise in History of Cinema.
the way you transition between the different scenes is so damn good, its like the whole video is one big action scene that keeps on going, keep it up, proud of you
I'm a huge fan primarily because I believed in Keanu before the 1st film came out while the general perception of the film pre release made it an underdog. It's really satisfying to see this series succeed and grow
"John... is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will." Pretty much sums up the films really. It knows what core audience it's aiming for, it knows how to deliver a simple but gripping/ relatable narrative, it knows how to earn your respect. Loads of action film writers/ directors just think that excessive egregious explosions makes for good action flick but that's just laziness and creative bankruptcy. John Wick's more grandeur spectacles of gunfu literally still has that intimate vibe to it; it's consistent and focused no matter how stylish/ grand the setpieces are.

On the John Wick 2 commentary track Chad Stahelski says that the reflections of the soul exhibit and all of the numerous reflections throughout the film are meant to represent the duality of the two worlds John wick is a part. The normal world with his wife that he wants, and the assassin world that keeps pulling him back in.
Solid essay. The first remains my favourite. The third one the one I liked the least. It looks great from a technical aspect, but plotwise, there are way too many points that just don't make sense, even contradicting its own world building. Also, when it comes to the action scenes themselves, although each by itself is great, there's just way too many of them, each going on for way too long, left me exhausted watching it, and not in a good way, like when one watches a grand spectacle movie. I'll have to rewatch Vol. 2 one of these days.
(14:13) You mention that “There’s great action outside of the West.” Could you by chance elaborate on some nonwestern action-film standouts as that goes? I’m sure they’re out there-and I have no qualms about watching films with subtitles-but I’m just kinda out of the loop about what’s available outside of the major films that come to theaters in the US.
Immediately I would say anything recent by Wu Jing, Dante Lam and the Donnie Yen Ip Man trilogy, the Max Zheng-starring Master Z, Furie, Shadow (Zhang Yimou), Buybust and The Night Comes For Us come to mind.
@@handcoding Definitely the Ip Man series and The Night Comes for Us is a brutal must see. Anything by Iko Uwais. The Raid series and Headshot are gold. Any recent Takashi Miike as well. His film Blade of the Immortal is one of my favorites of these last two years

Man, this is the first video that i have watched on your channel, and boy, the editing is brilliant!Perfect transitions into similar action scenes. It was a treat to watch. Also, I thought I was the only one who liked the 2nd movie better than the third. Kudos mate.
It was by your first video about John Wick that I now know the series and I CANNOT thank you enough! Never before have I fallen in love with a movie franchise as I have with John Wick. even after seeing all three movies about 6 or 7 times, I alwase get exited every time I start one of them up for another round. I hope this franchise wil grow to absolutely ridiculous proportions, because if you ask me, the assassins world of John Wick has endless potential and as long as the movie team keeps up this high standard, this franchise has a long, LONG future ahead! And I'll be in the cinemas for every outing, jaw on the floor and completely forgetting to eat the popcorn I bought.
Great video! Although you are right about the villains, I disagree with your stance on Chapter 3. Everything you said about Chapter 2 is what I think about 3. I find myself returning to Parabellum more often than the first two, which can feel a little mopey and sluggish at times. Parabellum's pacing and flow, (Particularly Act 1 and Act 3), felt more like it was inspired by The Raid 2, and that's one of my favourite action moves ever, so that may explain my bias.
Incredible video, you nailed almost everything about this franchise in my opinion. I can only think of one thing that you and I disagree on. I think the 4th should be the last. They've set up the pieces on the board and we're heading to an all-out continental vs underworld war. The hope is that it will be the big payoff, everything will e tied off and the character will have done what he needed to do for both the story and for the audience. The creative minds behind these movies have captured lightning in a bottle, the last thing I want to see is for it to become oversaturated or burnt out after movie after movie, sequel after sequel. End on a high note and then get out while you still have the audience in awe.

Everything you said about Chapter 2 is what I think about 3. I find myself returning to Parabellum more often than the first two, which can feel a little mopey and sluggish at times.
Parabellum's pacing and flow, (Particularly Act 1 and Act 3), felt more like it was inspired by The Raid 2, and that's one of my favourite action moves ever, so that may explain my bias.
wow great opening montage
Like others in the past..JOHN WICK CHANGED the Future Landscape of Hollywood Action Films😎👍👌👊
Incredible video, you nailed almost everything about this franchise in my opinion.
I can only think of one thing that you and I disagree on.
I think the 4th should be the last. They've set up the pieces on the board and we're heading to an all-out continental vs underworld war. The hope is that it will be the big payoff, everything will e tied off and the character will have done what he needed to do for both the story and for the audience.
The creative minds behind these movies have captured lightning in a bottle, the last thing I want to see is for it to become oversaturated or burnt out after movie after movie, sequel after sequel.
End on a high note and then get out while you still have the audience in awe.
