JOHN WICK 4: Some questions answered...SPOILER ALERT!

 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...

Goon Elimination Techniques

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points. Naw, this be straight up pimpin' without the baby powder.  Yeah I know, she is using a shoe. But that shit is still funny!   The real Slap Attack! 9. Get Outta Here! -What Scorpion would do with these fools, the hero does the opposite. He or She literally shoves, flips, or kicks them out of the way. While finding themselves dazed and confused their brains are no longer required t...

TRYING ME 05/23/25

  There is this dumb, fake ass bitch at my job has been trying me since I was hired.  She's married, overweight and recently a new mother.  When I was hired, she was pregnant and I thought I would only be at the company until she returned from maternity leave.  Before she left, she made sure to act a complete ass towards me whenever possible.  While training me the Ukraine Russia conflict came up (this was back in the early stages). I made a comment (it was just me and her in the room) generally stating that Russia needs to stop flexing because it is affecting the US economy (and it was because we had to impose shipping fees on our customers etc.). This bitch proceeds to raise her voice and scold me about how people are dying and what not.  I let it go. I didn't say anything to her for 2 reasons:  1. The bitch was so pregnant I didn't want to put her into labor.  2. The bitch was so pregnant she obviously was miserable and cognitively impaired....

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE

I hadn't seen this movie in over 2 decades. When the opening credits began, I felt a deep since of sadness and darkness. I could say it was my sparse memory of the plot and the overall somber mood from the imagery.  I know it was something else. It wasn't until the movie truly began that I was able to identify the source of the sadness.  This being a "cult" film, I knew there would be some disappointments in plot continuity and special effects partially due to the "wholesome" expectations of the time.  Overall it wasn't too disappointing. The story itself is so compelling that no one really cared about the following: 1. How well folded and "pressed" that note looked after Blanche had crumpled it all to hell and threw it out a window when Jane returned it to her.  2. How Blanche had no idea that Jane was stealing money from her until she started serving her dead animals from around the house.  It could be that this plot hole is an artistic refer...
