JOHN WICK: 4 (The Baba Yaga, High Table + Ending) EXPLAINED

  • Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As heavily requested, today we are going to be exploring John Wick 4, the recently released instalment in the John Wick series.
    Directed by Chad Stahelski who helmed the previous three films, and starring the Legendary Keanu Reeves, the late Lance Reddick, Ian McShane, Donnie Yen, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins and Bill Skarsgård, the newest chapter is the bombastic icing on the proverbial cake that is the John Wick series.
    The latest entry into the franchise is the encapsulation of what happens when an unstoppable force (in this case Wick), meets an immovable object (The High Table) an illuminati like shadow organisation with seemingly unlimited power and influence.
    Ambitious and bigger in every way, the 4th film offers a larger scope, consolidating on all the world building, action and character work that has come to represent the series. Coming in with a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, it is the longest entry in the series, the most epic, probably the most ingenious for its use of cinematography, and the one that pushes John to the limit.
    I know we have 3 films before this one, so to make sure everyone is absolutely caught up with everything, in this video we are going to explore the story so far, why John Wick is such a deadly force, what happens in John Wick 4, the ending, to the future of the John Wick series as a whole.

    I don’t think John is dead due to the location of the bullets. Caine shot John in the same spots as the doctor told John to shoot him at the start of the third film

      If you didn’t catch it in the movie, there was a bit of dialogue before or in the church where John talks to Caine and implies there’s a way they can help each other.
      John and Caine colluded to rig the duel - and Winston was probably the one who figured out the loophole. The Marchese tried to make the duel a binary outcome by using Caine’s daughter as leverage to force Caine to duel John. Caine, John, and Winston realized they could all get what they wanted by working together because they all hated the high table. Winston likely came up with the plan where John would be in a position to kill the Marchese. Neither Caine nor John would go for lethal shots, and John wouldn’t shoot on the third round to lure the Marchese in for the coup de grace. Remember that Caine demanded that the Marchese free him and his daughter before he handed his pistol over, and the Harbinger witnessed the Marchese agree. Only once Caine got the guarantee he wanted, he gave his pistol to the Marchese. Winston then distracted the Marchese by mocking him, and John shot him with his third bullet to win. Yes, Caine’s bullets were all in non-lethal areas. And if it wasn’t clear that they were colluding, Caine helped John get to the top of the stairs so that the plan could be put in motion. I think Winston masterminded this whole scheme - he’s a chess player.
      My theory is that John is alive for any potential 5th movie, and the grave was put up as cover to make people think that he died, so he could leave the underworld.

      "But on Sunday, Lionsgate’s Drake told The Hollywood Reporter that a John Wick 5 is no longer out of the question.
      “There’s a will and there’s an openness. And you could certainly interpret that ending in different ways,” said Drake. “We’re all going to take a tiny rest here and then scratch at ideas about whether there’s a credible way to get into five. But there’s no guarantee.”
      There's a chance for a 5th but of course that will definitely be the final since Keanu Reeves isn't getting any younger. Plus, even if they wan to make a new one they will have to have a great story to bring him back. there are some questions left unanswered so who knows.

    The reference/tribute to The Warriors was aweseome. Caine's blue rose bouquet at the end was really poetic too. If you don't know, the blue rose symbolizes something physically unobtainable or out of reach. Caine almost saw/spoke to his daughter, but then we see Akira with the knife while he's carrying the blue roses meaning his daughter was always metaphorically/physically out of reach.

    The movie had several homages to other epic action adventure films:
    The Bowery King blowing out the match and cutting to the desert was inspired by Lawrence Of Arabia.
    The assassin's hearing the song Nowhere To Run on the radio when they go after John Wick was from The Warriors.
    The dueling pistols was inspired by the climax to The Good The Bad And The Ugly.

Meaning John was in full control of where he got shot. Yeah, they were just showing us their shoes scrape across pebbles for fun. Like everything in this movie is a clue to a deeper meaning. In the end, Caine was the one clinging to the dead, himself and his old life. It's gone, it's been gone, and it's never coming back. John actually gets to go free after he himself kills John Wick and fully gives up that life. Anything else would be betraying his oath to live on to honor his dead wife.

I believe that, the “who knows” as to where he is, and the King’s laugh after realizing it’s a fake, points to him alive.

    There was a theory put forth by some that John Wick unofficially takes place in the Matrix universe and that John Wick is actually Neo who was placed back in the Matrix and since he is "the one", he is capable of extraordinary feats. While this is just a theory, there are plenty of supporting details. For example, both universes feature allies that are named after Greek mythology, which each have very specific connotations. In the Matrix, Neo is befriended by "Morpheus", which according to Greek mythology is the "god of dreams." In John Wick, he is befriended by "Charon", who according to Greek mythology is the gatekeeper of the underworld. Kind of makes you think. There are other supporting similarities, but you can find videos on youtube that go over them all. While this is most likely just coincidences, its very intriguing.

    Loved this series of movies. And as much as I'd watch John Wick 10, I think John passing away on his terms (sort of since he was pushed back into everything, but playing out the hand your dealt) is a way that works. If he's found alive I hope it's a quiet life of peace to finish days.
    I had always wondered if it was going to end as John becoming the new Elder. Since they couldn't beat him they'd offer him the top spot as a token. But I don't think he'd have accepted. I can only imagine a high table and vast underworld being ruled by John Wick.

    I absolutely love this series. I can't think of another series that compares to this in terms of successive storytelling and creativity. I really hope we get more. I watched it 3 times over the weekend and took my daughter the third time. Our showing was at midnight and she was glued to the screen the whole time, hard for a kid with such a long movie, but John Wick commands attention!
    I still have the visual of the bad guy with the arrow in his knee, pinning him up, after being shot in the head by John burned into my eyes. Such a badass moment, dude was just hanging out. :)

    I still remember seeing the first John Wick, it could have been another passable summer action flick. But now we got a solid franchise that's managed to pull out 4 solid films.
    Also on the point of the franchise honouring the old Martial arts and preserving action, you missed to mention how it also evolved how Hollywood handle guns, no more infinite ammo as John runs out of ammo several times and we get to see how technically satisfying tactical reloads are as well. It's almost a martial art in itself. We get hollywood finally paying attention to how guns should be handle from firing stances, forms, how platforms like rifles and shotguns are reloaded. Down to pistols.

    This really has some of the best action set pieces in the franchise. Keanu & Donnie are absolutely astounding as well as Hiroyuki in his brief screen-time; massive props to the stunt performers who have to do the even tougher moments. And Chad Stehelski continues to be a grand action director; little wonder he’s been Keanu’s friend for almost 25 years. And RIP to the great Lance Reddick

Even the continuous rolling down the steps was fun and palatable as it served the purpose of having to restart from a level like a video game. Thank you so much for clearing up why he owed a blood oath to Santino. I didn’t know and was forever frustrated with the loose end. No more loose ends thanks to you and this video. My son hasn’t seen this one so I’m going tonight to see it for a 2nd time.

    I believe the ending was more symbolic of them burying that part of John Wick tied to the High Table since he finally got out. From a story point of view, John has yet to fulfill his goal of killing all those involved. Also Caine shot John in the same spots the doctor told him to in the previous movie 😏

    The part about about the shaky cam with multiple cuts vs wide angle, clear cuts make me see it as a fight is quick and violent, therefore you may not see everything and it is over quick. John Wick uses clear fight scenes, like they are focused and seeing everything all while it goes down. If that made sense.

    I actually like to think the 1st movie is the results of all these others happening, I know that's not the case but I actually like the narrative that Vigo tells the story of John Wick and why he was so feared and he says what John did laid the very foundation of what they became. I actually think that would make the most sense especially cause in the first movie he constantly is saying he is retired, so everything is leading up to that first movie. Especially because it is stories of how one man did an impossible task, getting out when none of them could only to be roped in that all he wanted was what was taken from him. I absolutely love the movies though and I do enjoy how they were written :) I'm no writer so I'm sure it wouldn't fit as much as I would like to think.
