Is John Wick nothing more than an allegory for children playing

Holy shit

If "make sure they don't mess up the house too much" involves offing the kids who misbehave, then yeah.

Offing the misbehaving people in the movie is basically removing them from the story and in the allegorical sense not allowing the misbehaving kid to play anymore.

You are just overthinking and trying too hard to sound smart about competently done action movie staring an actor so dedicated that he became an operator.

I'm trying to get anything out of John Wick other than "just turn your brain off and enjoy the operator action".

Most movies that aren't trying to be high art bullshit use story elements and archetypes that resonate with children, John Wick is just more apparent because it's streamlined down to the basics.
We just grown up children after all.

But.... But that's the point of the movie though desu

>>83198154
Why though? It works as it is. The world created is kind of interesting and functional. There really don't have to be multiple layers in everything.
Sometimes things are just what they appear to be. It is not necessarily a fault.

>>83198154
Why would you?

I'm guessing he really enjoyed it but he is a snob about movies so he is trying to find anyway he can justify himself that its okay to like it.

Could be like an Orphanage situation. Whose going to miss one kid or metaphorically they don't get the play anymore

Well, we could try to meme some some depth into it, but I am afraid there are people on /tv/ that could miss the joke and then we'll be screwed for months with "deep symbolism of Continental and High Table"

Even the most basic action movies have at least some kind of arc or subtext. John Wick 2 is more of a demo reel for a bunch of stuntmen than an actual movie. Don't get me wrong. The lack of pretense keeps JW2 enjoyable during its runtime but also makes it forgettable once you're done watching it.

Yeah, we don't have the autism of the DC Fanbase to do that.

Well, john wick had some references to the greek mythos, and even the writer talked about it during the john wick 2's promotion.

Is that Robert? Or Robert's dad?

Is that where the popcorn recipe comes from?
