Whenever a long awaited movie comes out the critics and analysts are at the ready.
Sometimes they are so eager to make a mark with their keen observations that they miss nuances in the story that enhance the plot.
Here are some answers that I have come up with to some of the questions regarding consistency and plot.
Tracker: Mr. Nobody
-Some seem to think that "Mr. Nobody" is a conundrum. A mystery that has no explanation. Almost as if he was inserted into the story at the last minute.
He is indeed strange. He seems committed to an unknown and unstated objective. He wants to drive up the bounty on Wick's head.
But to what end?
Anyway, a question came up in the forums about his control over his "support animal."
The dog always seems to make the right decision to forward the plot even when his master is entrapped in dramatic irony.
How can this be? Why did the dog not attack Caine instead of the man behind him?
The answer here is quite simple. The dog does not attack ANY of the people who were seated at the poker table. Mr. Nobody was looking past Caine when he gave the "kill" command.
Caine:
-Is he blind? Is he a coward? Is he the real villain?
I can answer one of those questions.
Yes. Caine is blind. But what most do not realize is that there is a spectrum to blindness.
His eyes have been slit by a blade of some sort in a vertical fashion. If the cut was deep enough, that means his cornea, iris, lens, and the muscles that control the iris were damaged. These parts of the eye control how much light enters the eye. The amount of light entering the eye determines how much color is seen, how defined sight is and how far away one can see.
The anterior and inner eyeball were not damaged. So he can still process whatever light bounces off his environment.
Can he see the mustard stain on your shirt? Probably not. Be he can still stain your shirt with your own blood.
The Bowery King:
-What is his connection to the high table?
I can't answer that for sure. But I have a pretty grounded theory.
The symbol that Winston gives Wick to seek asylum within the King's headquarters in Paris looks familiar...
