All through “Chapter 4,” the characters of the movie ruminate on loss of life, way more usually than those that are always surrounded by it normally do. Winston recounts the story of bushranger Ned Kelly’s calm acceptance of his destiny, Charon and Shimazu die with dignity and loyalty, Killa foolishly assumes he has immortality, and John, Winston, and the Bowery King talk about their very own epitaphs. Throughout this dialog, John declares what he needs on his tombstone: “Loving Husband.”
The selection is indicative of John’s true need: to once more regain his freedom from the Hell of the underworld and turn out to be John, husband of Helen, as an alternative of the “Baba Yaga,” John Wick. Upon defeating the Marquis, John is granted this want by the Harbinger. A wounded however residing Caine makes amends with John, and Mr. No one (alongside together with his pet) lives to see one other day. Winston guarantees to take John dwelling, the latter understanding he is going through his imminent finish.
But although the Excessive Desk’s reign continues anon with new faces changing these eliminated, John is free, the scales of justice having been balanced by the vengeful spirit often called John Wick. “John” enjoys his last moments on Earth, his destiny virtually predetermined: once we met this man in “John Wick,” he was already a shell of an individual, Helen’s loss of life having robbed him of his increased goal in life. He lived simply lengthy sufficient for the spirit of revenge to own him and gather what was owed, regardless that he knew it will imply {that a} second grave can be dug.
As John enjoys the solar on his face, it is a second paying homage to the movie trilogy that Reeves and Stahelski first collaborated on: the finale of “The Matrix Revolutions,” which sees the same dawning of a brand new day because of a sacrifice, a reboot of the world reasonably than a full, apocalyptic deletion.
