I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos. There are a lot of reactors on KZbin but what you do is unique as far as I've seen. I love how much insight you bring with how in depth you go beyond the initial viewing. Every video you point out something I've otherwise missed or not thought about. So it's great to hear that's simply how you want to do it despite all the effort! I'll sub to your Patreon at the beginning of the month because you deserve the support.

[@veteranhoffman6776]

32:51 I actually have a theory about Helen Wick, and it makes a few things make more sense in the movie. Theory: Helen Wick was a Veterinarian or Veterinary Assistant, she had been sick (most likely cancer, my mom had cancer and one day just collapsed like in the movie). One night John decided to surprise her and pick her up from work, as they walked to the car to go home she collapsed. That explains #1: Why she gifted John a puppy and was able to arrange Daisy’s delivery, #2 Why John crashed the SUV there, #3 How John knew the Veterinary Clinic was there to patch himself up, and #4 Why at the end when John’s walking with the puppy, it’s the same location where his wife collapsed.

[@OrsonBuggy1958]

That makes a lot of sense.. would also explain how it was so well trained. You'd think she would have thought of food though.

Since you mentioned how the assassins all have rules and regulations within their society, you'll be happy to know that they continue adding to this aspect of the story in each film. For an over-the-top action film, they do a lot of world building that ends up giving us an understanding of how things work without ever dragging the pace down.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Even as wild as it gets sometimes, it never quite jumps the shark, and I feel like those "rules" of the underworld have a lot to do with that. The world they've built is fantastical in some ways, but very grounded. It's internally consistent, and doesn't usually directly violate what we understand. What happens is extremely improbable sometimes, but never quite truly impossible. I feel like the F&F franchise would've come off far better in total in the hands of Stahelski and his crew.

If you look through the history of entertainment you will find that one thing the studios agonize over and plan almost as thoroughly as the rest of the movie is do you kill a dog,and if so what kind? Face it killing the dog was as much of a gut punch because it was a cute puppy as just the fact that it was a dog.

[@pepsiman990]

The director uses a very powerful narrative device in this movie. The death of the dog justifies EVERYTHING that John does from that moment on and the audience not only agrees but wants blood for that atrocity. And it's even worse when you realize that the little dog crawled across the floor to seek comfort from John in its last moments.

[@joshb6960]

Love your analysis at the end. Especially the connection of Aurelio to the sloth in Ice Age 😂

[@TheMule71]

John Wick kills no civilians in this movie. It's kinda implied that the underground world he belongs to doesn't really interact with "normal" people. The reason Jimmy the cop "leaves him be" it's not because he's corrupted, it's because what happened there belongs to John's world, and not to the cop's one, as the dead people were clearly assassins (from Jonh's world). Remember the movie is complete fiction (more like a comic book) so realism is out of the question here. In a way, Iosef crossed a line by killing the dog, as she was clearly innocent. It's also hinted by the fact "he's the one you send to kill the f. Boogey Man" (not normal people). Anyway great reaction as usual!

[@GregoryMize-f8z]

WOW! You are redefining the genre of movie/shows reaction and turning it into art.

There are times you mention that you are going on for too long and that people have left comments about the same issue. Personally, that's the whole reason I'm here. I very much enjoy your take on movie reactions. We get to watch most of it with you, and then we get a thoughtful, educated opinion of the movie and everything regarding it.

Maybe develop a more efficient, short-hand method that is easier on you? We'd all still watch your videos, because your basic reaction (in the true sense I of that word) are genuine, and a joy see.

[@mrtveye6682]

Another great reaction. You should watch the rest of the franchise too. Unpopular opinion though, IMO this first one is by far the best part. It was a refreshing action flick with lots of "grounded", hands-on", kinda "realistic"-action and a nice, simple revenge story. Without any spoilers, they dropped that concept for a more video-game/superhero style over-the -top-action approach. A lot of people love it, and even I think they are still very entertaining movies, but it's not my cup of tea compared to the first one.

[@GatorScribe726]

@@IcyTorment Actually no, i haven't seen it yet. But thanks for the recommendation. I'll put it on my "to watch" list. And to clarify, I think the first John Wick is great, but I still like 2-3 (haven't seen 4 yet). I think the first one was so refreshing, cause it felt kind of "real" not as over-the top and CGI/greenscreen/wirework loaded as most modern action movies, plus it had a simple story and didn't needed a whole "universe"-overhead. It kinda reminded me of some of my favorite action movies from the 80s/90s, esp. the Hong Kong action cinema of John Woo etc. (Hard Boiled, Better Tomorrow ...)

[@k11su]

I'm assuming that you already noticed/researched these and just didn't mention, but just in case, couple more "obligatory" details that you might find interesting: Marcus only accepts the contract on John after asking if it is exclusive (or open). Francis actually responds in russian that he has lost "20 kg" - the number of guards inside. Also the russian here is pretty broken and the on-screen subtitles quite "creative". In the end Iosef just starts saying something akin to "f*** you" (my russian is pretty much limited to swear-words, but thats like 90% of the russian in this movie anyway).

[@deepermind4884]

I don't think this can be called a spoiler about the next movie: when the Jewish banker says to John in Yiddish, "Zei Matsliach...", it's VERY loosely translated as, "Happy hunting...". The actual translation is "Be successful...". I'm not sure what the reasoning was to change the translation like that.

[@veteranhoffman6776]

41:04 that’s the thing about john wick, it’s what sets him apart from the other Assassins, he has a set of kinda twisted morals. The women were “innocent”, the men that worked for Viggo weren’t innocent and all fair game to John, hence in the club scene where he’s exposed and aiming at Josef, he kept eye contact and shot the guy he had pinned to the ground. An unspoken message, “I’m going to kill you and take back what I have given your Father”. The impossible task Viggo spoke of that John accomplished laying the foundation of what they were then, was the “Elimination” of the bosses of all Viggo’s rivals in one night. So technically John gave Viggo his “business”. Then again he didn’t kill everybody that worked for Viggo, he spared Francis the Doorman, mainly because Francis told John (in code) how many “hostiles” there were inside the club.

[@ice-iu3vv]

the john wick franchise is very entertaining. they plainly, and admittedly, took various ideas from the "bourne trilogy", that begins with "the bourne identity" (2002). there are now 5 or more bourne films, but the "trilogy" , being the first 3, establish its narrative and the character. the many fans who prefer the john wick series, can only feel that way from loving CONSTANT action. in the opinion of myself, most movie critics, and i'm sure, YOU whimsory, the bourne movies are better. 2 points to establish for me now, how and why are they better, and how do i know you would prefer them, since i dont know you. the bourne films, while having several great action scenes per movie, are far, far more character driven than the near-literally nonstop action of the john wick films. (very minor spoiler, the rest of the j.wick films are even more action-packed than the first). some people (many) love that. i can say that everyone who prefers j the john wick films does so for the fighting , and will start in about "he's more badass". bourne is related to the cia, not murder-for-hire. the specialized fight-training that keannu took for john wick is in weapons and related tactics, matt damon's training for jason bourne is mostly in "kali", the phillipine martial art based on changing your style to fit the current environment in which one is fighting. since you are the only reviewer on youtube doing multiple rewatches and genuine research before making your commentary, then having really insightful things to say about the characters afterward, im certain you would prefer bourne also. you gave a reasonably complete summary of this film in 10 words. and correctly pointed out more than once, "all these people suck".

[@suflanker45]

The best thing about this movie is the twist on the main bad guy in action movies. Usually the bad guy is an arrogant overconfident prick who finds out the hard way when fighting the protagonist. In this movie Viggo knows how bad his son screwed up in the beginning and is already on the defensive. As a father he's trying to save his son but knows he's a dead man. Your breakdown of the criminal organization in this movie was spot on. In reality the Mafia had rules/code you had to follow. The mob wanted to keep their operations under the table and not involve civilians. The local cops knew what was going on and the mob would pay them off but the mob would keep their operations quite and not harm civilians. The local cops knew if a mob guy got out of line the mob boss would deal with him and know where to dump the body so it would never be found. Bootlegging, gambling, tobacco and running unions were ok but dealing drugs was strictly forbidden by mafia leadership. In the end it was the US Government (The DOJ and FBI) that brought down the mob in the US. To find out more about the mafia you should watch The Godfather trilogy and the movies Goodfellas and Casino. The last two movies are based on true stories.

[@woeshaling6421]

Good points made on the dog, the trope is very real. It's based on "save the cat". Have a character literally save a cat, like superman [1978], or save an innocent; kids, women, bystanders, what have you. "kick the dog", like here, is the inverse of that trope. Literal examples like american psycho [2000] and prisoners [2013]. But variants that are very common is have the main villain hurt or kill a henchman.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

Yeah, the movie starts sad and hurts... but it is his motivations... so it is important. I love that they don't really "explain" John Wick at the start it is just a series of dialog like: "well he stole John Wick's car and killed his dog" "Oh" or Vigo calls John, who says nothing, not even hello. Lawyer "What did he say?" Vigo "Enough" We know that he has a rep, and we know it is impressive without seeing anything at this point. You need to watch this movie for the code, and the "subtext". Three examples... 1) Dinner reservation is body disposal. 2) Marcus asks is the contract exclusive? only when he hears it is open, aka others will be hunting John, does he "accept" it. 3) Francis, saying he lost weight... when really saying how many were protecting Josef. Humans tend to have done something to get killed the puppy was complete innocent who deserved good not death. Enjoyed your reaction ... and the kitty cameos. :)

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Idk if the whole "violence isn't the answer" thing holds up. I mean people always say "diplomacy is better" but seem to forget what is backing that diplomacy the vast majority of the time... the capacity for violence. Yeah it should be a last resort MOST of the time, but I think people put too fine a point on it. Especially in the case of non-lethal violence. Some people need to get hit. And anyone that kills a tame/domesticated animal that hasn't done anything wrong, let alone a pet, deserves whatever comes their way. *Daisy was better than every single person John put down* and I stand by that.

@23:36 if you look at the paperwork it’s stamped “to be put down”. I like to think of it as they saved each other.

Keanu did a bunch of three-gun training for this, so the gun handling is top-notch. There's some Stupid Hollywood Gun Tricks in the later movies, but this one had all realistic, if top-tier, gun handling.

It's a dog-murder-revenge-murder movie. Probably the only of it's kind. The guys who made the movie had a lot of back and forth about doing the dog thing, because they knew killing the dog was also the fastest way to upset an audience and turn them against you.

Before you watch the next John Wick movies, you should watch the Matrix movie series first, because there will be several references to The Matrix Movies in the next John Wick movies. This is very important. This is the right way to watch these two movie series, don't make the same mistake as most other reaction channels ❤ 😀

Whimsory your'e awsome! 😉👍🏼

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Miss Whimsory!🙂I have to say all the John Wick films consistantly have a lot of action, and are fun to watch. I think they are kind of a quilty pleasure, where most of the people killed are usually bad guys. So, if you really enjoyed this one, you will enjoy the sequels. Nice reactions to the original John Wick film, Miss Whimsory!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The John Wick Universe can be summed up with one quote from another movie: "You live in a world so corrupt that we have infiltrated _every level_ of its infrastucture".

[@gussmoon1111]

Fuck around and find out: the movie.

[@itsabwomp]

if you like sci-fi check out "Event Horizon' and "Pandorum"

[@Scott_Forsell]

I appreciate the watching it several times outro. Mostly, you get immediate feedback which is a rehash of plot points. Nothing necessarily wrong with that. This "I've rewatched and thought this through" outro is preferable in my mind. I've had many poorly thought through opinions about movies 10 minutes after, but, as a general rule, those a day later are better. You gotta sleep on it. I think I respond better to "a day later" opinions than to those expressed directly thereafter seeing it which nearly everybody else does. Gotta give it some time to sink in. My initial response is often too simple. Give me a day and I can see more.

The Equalizer is a movie that has a plot with similarities, and came out close to the same time. It's not a carbon copy or anything, though, and it's worth a watch. I will continue to recommend the Princess Bride and Imagine Me & You.

[@BinksOtto]

I can't wait for more of your reactions! I've watched the entire john wick franchise and it's very good.

[@Sartanikus]

I'm gonna selfishly ask for Lord of the Rings haha. The greatest trilogy ever! Who's with me!

[@WhatsUpGazpacho]

Didn't know my Saturday night was going to be building Warhammer AND watching Whimsory crying over a dead dog. Actually I was a little teary-eyed at that too when I first saw John Wick LOVE the first John Wick film! So much mystique and that song in the nightclub, Think by Kaleida , is perfect! Ha, love that Marylin Manson impression

[@rickdeckard294]

Night of the Living Dead - Dawn of the Dead - Day of the Dead - Romero Trilogy

[@vojtanick738]

Watch the movie Mulholland Drive it's a great movie. :)

[@iandor1381]

The wink was adorable. Thank you for that.

[@Lugen101]

The scene with the puppy is certainly sad, but man do I love watching the uninitiated walk into that scene haha. Keep up the good work Whimsory.

[@maxmundo96]

GREAT REACTION!!!👍👍👍👍👍 I really enjoy your channel, you're funny, emotional at times, and I really like your informative closings!!! Have a WONDERFUL rest of the week!!!😀

[@scalefree]

Wick's little exchange with Francis at the door holds a hidden meaning. Wick wants to know how many men are inside but doesn't want to tip that Francis gave him the info. so he asks an inane question, in this case about his weight. Francis's answer tells him there's 60 men inside he'll need to kill.

[@mrnice81]

Akshually .. he speaks russian and says the weight in kilogram, that makes it 27.

[@najhoant]

The bit with the cop is supposed to represent how law enforcement in this city relates to the world of assassins John walks in. The deal is that as long as they keep their crimes to themselves and don't kill civilians or police, the cops leave them alone

[@Henchman_Holding_Wrench]

Quite the journey you've chosen. One of my favorite film series. Oh, Viggo is definitely done. John most likely got his artery and definitely his right lung.

[@darrellpowell6042]

John Wick 1 to 4 is worth watching and its a fast paced story. I'm sure during filming they had more stunt men and women injuries from the four movies. Its very much a blessing the is hardly any dialogue that ruins many movies with too much information. The best thing I found is the John Wick stunts whilst reloading his weapon in the actions scenes. I watched the first one and then watched the next two back to back. I saw John Wick 4 at the cinema, money well spent.

[@NoOne-co1io]

I love your channel. Please watch The Great Escape.

[@Zerbyte]

Unless you have already seen The Matrix that is a must see Keanu movie and one of the greatest mind altering movies of all time.

[@JpXRoss]
