As the most recent chapter of John Wick, Chapter 4<\/a>, has just hit our screens, a question came to me. Because I am a fan of Mr. Wick and his universe, I asked myself: is John Wick a gentleman? Here is my answer in the following lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginnings of John Wick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The character played by Canadian actor Keanu Reeves is certainly one of the most mysterious on the big screen. While we didn\u2019t know much about the assassin\u2019s past. To make a long story short, John Wick is called Baba Yaga (originally a Russian legend) because he is the type of assassin who is sent to kill demons. That is, he is so good at what he does that no mortal is his rival; that the only missions John Wick accepts are missions that no ordinary human could ever accomplish, even if he tried! John also embodies Baba Yaga\u2019s “FEAR” (a woman), not the character herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he has accomplished an incredible task, which we still don\u2019t know about (we may have the answer in the 4th chapter which I still haven\u2019t seen at the time of writing), and retired following this and meeting Helen, his future wife, we arrive, in the first part of the four films, at the moment when she dies of a long illness. This is a pivotal moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before her death, she planned to send John a posthumous gift, a small dog, to prevent him from being left alone. Just as everything was going smoothly, an encounter changed the course of his life. The latter, with assassins (which Mr. Wick was unaware of) results in the fact that the animal is later, in a short assault, killed, and his car, a 1969 Mustang, is stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to avenge the death of the last memory of his wife, Mr. Wick starts a quest, where various adventures intertwine and eventually reach the 4th chapter, released on March 24, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is John Wick a gentleman? A noble quest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
