John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, Speed Trilogy, Keanu. Reeves's heroic work, breaking the curse of the sequel, word of mouth, ratings are higher than one. The plot of this series is not the focus, the story begins with the death of a dog, and the single revenge routine of two points into a line slowly unveils the entire killer world. The selling points are realistic gun battles and fights, stimulating the senses with violent and violent flesh and blood, and a unique and perfect killer rule system, presenting a grand killer world view.
△ Organization/Rules
1/ High table
The supreme ruling body of the killer world, the rule-maker. There are 12 seats, formed by a coalition of major gangs around the world, occupied by Forces such as Camorra, Mafia, Glory Society, Chinese, and Russians. The rules set by the high table are very strict, requiring the subordinate institutions and killers to obey absolutely, and if they violate them, they will impose the punishment of "confiscating life".
In "Speed 3", a Middle Easterner in the desert near Casablanca, he seems to be one of the highest elders. John Wick finds him and swears allegiance to himself with his ring finger in exchange for a chance to suspend his hunting.
The adjudicator, the emissary sent by the high table, is equal to the Minister of Chincha, who is responsible for reviewing whether the conduct of the heads of subordinate institutions violates the rules and has the power to dismiss them from their posts. The arbiter represents himself with a large blue and black coin, and can also recruit the killer to do things.
2/ Bounty Centre
An information agency under the high table, which is a uniformly dressed flower arm short skirt sister, is responsible for handling the killer files and issuing bounty orders. It seems that anyone can initiate a bounty, the procedure is to call and self-report a personal password, the password is probably used to activate the task and bounty transfer. The initiator can ask the task to start immediately, or it can schedule a time to start, such as an hour later (very user-friendly). The Bounty Center Sister is responsible for receiving commissions, stamping the killer files and posting bounty missions to the network. The normalized killer (anyone on the street may be) will receive a reward message on the terminal mobile phone, just like the business of some industries in reality, as long as the mobile phone downloads an APP can take orders.
John Wick's bounty went from $2 million for Speed 1 to $7 million for Speed 2 to $14 million and $15 million for Speed 3 (reminiscent of One Piece^-^). As can be seen from the blackboard bounty list of the bounty center, John Wick ranks first with a bounty of 14 million, and the second place "Rockman" has a bounty of only 2 million.
3/ Continental Hotel
Relatively independent places to entertain killers, there are accommodation, meals, rest services, the rule is that the hotel can not be killed, violators will be disqualified and hunted.
When the female killer Perkins assassinates John Wick, he is captured by John Wick and placed in the custody of his colleague Harry in the next room. Perkins broke free, killed Harry in the room, broke the rules of the hotel, and was later "executed".
John Wick killed Antonio in the hotel, broke the rules of the hotel, and was killed for disqualification and a reward of 15 million.
Hotels featured in the film include the Continental Hotel in New York and the Continental Hotel in Rome.
4/ Russian Gypsy underworld family
John Wick was born in Belarus and trained in a Russian gypsy gangster family, and ballet girls have the same tattoos as John Wick. In Rush 3, John Wick returns to his hometown with a pass to seek asylum and absconds to Casablanca with the help of his family. However, the head of the family was punished by the high table and pierced in the palm of his hand.
5/ Bowrie Street Gang
A grassroots gang on the streets of New York, passing on messages through carrier pigeons. The helper is the king of Pori Street (Morpheus of the Matrix), a beggar in every corner of the city who has helped John Wick several times. The King of Paury Street was the only gang leader who left room for "absolute obedience" to the rules when confronted by the judges, and was stabbed to death by the Japanese skinhead killer seven times. Eventually, John Wick falls from the hotel building and is rescued by beggars to the Pori Street Gang.
6/ Killer
Bounty Killer, who takes assassination missions through his mobile phone and earns a bounty. Usually, it is an ordinary person in a certain industry.
Killers may know each other or hear about each other.
The killer is well-dressed, dressed in suits and shoes, and is a real "thug in a suit".
Killers pay attention to etiquette, when they do not involve their own interests, they meet each other to respect each other and greet each other politely, and if it involves interest relations, they will fight each other without emotion.
△ Currency
Gold Coins: Harry in Speed 3. Berry takes John Wick to the Mint and asks him to introduce him to the Elders. This person is probably the original maker of gold coins and badges, with the template for the first coin/badge. He gave an explanation for the gold coin:
"It doesn't represent monetary value, it represents the relationships that you agree to participate in, a social contract, order, and rules."
Thus, gold coins are the currency circulating in the killer world, coexisting with the actual currency; a gold coin can clean up a corpse, can rent a continental hotel room (indefinitely), can meet the tailor shop owner, can buy two drinks at the bar, and can let the beggar provide help once. These cases cannot find a model of equivalent value from the real currency value, so the value of the gold coin cannot be equated with the real currency, which is an overhead setting.
△ Keepsake
1/ Badge
"Awarding a badge to another person represents the oath between the soul and the blood." When the coat of arms is opened, the space inside is the size of two fingers, with the blood fingerprints of the promised person printed on one side and blank on the other. The holder holds the badge and makes a request to the undertaker, who must accept it, otherwise he will be severely punished. Once the promiser has completed the task as required, the holder will pierce the finger with the spike on the badge and mark the blood fingerprint in the blank space, and after both parties have marked the blood fingerprint, it means that the badge creed has been fulfilled, and the promiser is no longer bound by the badge and is free.
2/ Pass (ticket)
A cross necklace is a souvenir of John Wick's request for help from the Russian Gypsy underworld family in his hometown, and the payment of help needs to be branded on the back with a cross, and there is only one chance, after which the pass will be taken back and John Wick will be expelled from the family.
