A movie like Salt or Kill Bill does this very thing.
However the audience often has no problem with a female action hero gunning down men. Studios are super sensitive about this as they know the male audience is going to be sickened by a heroic male killing a woman. My theory is a male protagonist may never ever kill a woman lest you incur the wrath of the audience. BTW when the assassin is finally killed it is by a secondary character and is accomplished in a long shot and the reasoning for her death is not because she murdered a couple people it is because she broke the rules. Then we get to have the woman escape, kill John's friend and then be the reason why the Dafoe character is killed as well. Instead we have to have John Wick capture her and hand her off to a friend who also will not kill her. We also can't possibly have John's friend in Dafoe kill the woman as a target of opportunity either because that will look super bad on him as well. We can't possibly have John Kill her because she is a woman and the audience is going to have a shit fit if the hero kills the woman trying to kill him. Invades Johns room and attempts to kill him. The movie is sexist primarily because of the female assassin character. It's nice when things like that are shown or implied, rather than explicitly spelled out. It was left to the viewer to fill in the gaps, discover what the coins were used for, think about what it meant when someone paid with one, and imagine the various background details that the movie DIDN'T fill in. There was little explanation of the lore and background besides the hotel's rule. The action was also used stylistically with the club scene, the occasional blood on the wall, and so forth.Īlso instead of being a movie for stupid people, I thought the movie rather refreshingly lent itself to audience thought and imagination. Instead of trying to shock with gore, or glorify endless killing, I felt like the movie portrayed the lives of a bunch of professionals in a bit of an absurdist sense - most people in the movie seemed to treat the violence and killing as normal, and part of their job, and not something that they were doing because they got twisted satisfaction out of it. In contrast to a lot of action movies, I felt like John Wick, as a movie, used violence for stylistic purposes instead of as an end to itself. I didn't like the Judge Dredd movie, and I don't like super violent movies. Click to expand.With a few exceptions, I liked John Wick as a movie BECAUSE it wasn't brutal.
