John Wick : Wick v/s High Table

When I first saw John Wick, it blew my mind.
The concept, characters, portrayal, cars, The Continental, basically everything about it.



We like things that are well organized, this movie shows organized crime and it briefly describes the concept of respect. The conversations they have in the movie are well thought out and brilliantly written.

The First installment shows how John is forced back in the crime world to avenge his dog's death which was a gift from his departed wife. We can easily relate that the actions he took were not just because of that dog but because the Character was angry at why She had to die as he is the one who has committed many sins.

In the second installment, it is shown that he cannot go back to the normal world. And the quote from the first movie "I once saw him killing 3 men in a bar with a fucking pencil" comes to life when he actually kills men using a pencil, it was brutal.

The Cop Jimmy repeats his dialogue "You working again John"
While John also repeats his dialogue "Goodnight Jimmy"

I am assuming we might see  more of the Receptionist too "If you'd be so inclined Mr. Wick"

John Wick 2 ends with a massive cliffhanger and we surely can expect a great 3rd installment to the series.

Here's what the makers have to say about John Wick 3
“We want, not so much to go bigger on the third one, but to show you more of the intricacies of the world… I feel like there are all these different subtleties that I skipped over in Number Two, that I’d like to go back to on [chapter three] and show you the inner workings of different parts of New York. So rather than massive set pieces, I’d like to show you cooler and more intricate ones… I think it would be a mistake budget-wise and creatively to just go big and blow up a freeway. That’s not our gig. That’s a comic book or a Bond gig. We want to show you cool and intricate details. What are those little details in everyday life? Hopefully – we make people look at garbage collectors and cleaner vans and homeless people a little differently now.”

Hate the culprit, not the entire community. A Bajrangi Bhaijaan review.

Honestly I did not expect much from this movie but the message it conveyed successfully and in a very cute/simple way is incredible. In our country (India), everyone knows two major Religions Hinduism and Islam, and due to British divide and rule policy (may be some other reasons too) there is a huge difference between these two communities. When our country was divided and a new nation Pakistan was formed, it was stated that the population will not be divided, but sadly it did not happen and we all know millions of people lost their lives in that horrifying event.

Since then, India and Pakistan are two nations who play cricket, fight battles, and much more. But I do not understand the reason we hate Pakistan ? That's because I am a man of reasons, logic, facts. You cannot hate the entire population of a nation just because of terrorism or government, there are terrorists in India too and they destruct their own country but does that mean we start hating our own country ?
These are my personal opinion. No harm intended to anyone.

The movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan enlightens the same concept of communal harmony. And I agree to it.
The character of Salman is named Pawan after "Pawan-sut" a devotee of Lord Hanuman. It justifies the reasons that he don't lie in entire movie, it is brilliant. And the compassion he feels for the girl is just right, even after knowing she is muslim and from Pakistan.  The Hanuman Chalisa is used at the right time and the music is impressive, it feels strong when you hear it that time. Simplicity of Salman and innocent smile make the character more believable. The director has done a great job. A typical Brahman Indian family is also portrayed quite well. Kareena fits well in the movie.
The climax is well written and brilliantly performed.

It turned out to be a great movie, defining the damaged relations of two countries.
You should watch it.
