9/ Officer Jimmy's five words "I'll leave you be, then" give the moral center and framework for the entire movie, blesses it, and makes it kosher. Exeunt.

10/ Officer Jimmy is so important that we see him again in JW2. "Gas leak?" "Gas leak". Just to remind the red tribe viewer that the sovereign allows John Wick to operate.

11/ Jimmy doesn't merely pretend to believe John's excuse. Jimmy GIVES John the official excuse. John ACCEPTS Jimmy's framing.

13/ It is also worth noting WHEN Jimmy gave John Wick license * AFTER JW killed people in his own house * BEFORE JW killed people at other locations Under Anglo-American norms, we are all sovereigns in our own castles. You don't need Jimmy to permit you to kill home invaders

14/ It's interesting that JW2 starts in NJ, even though 99% of it takes place in Rome. But...it needs to. Jimmy is in NJ. I'm curious about JW3. Will Jimmy make an appearance? I wouldn't bet my life on it, but 2 predictions:

15/ * yes, we see Jimmy again * JW actively defends either a woman, a child, or a dog (so far he hasn't done any of the three; he's just killed) ok, bonus third prediction: * JW dies, Christ-like non-zero chance that he does so while saving a "civilian".

ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20The John Wick series is so good it almost makes up for the rest of Hollywood. The only thing I can complain about is part 2 being way too on the nose about signalling that it's a classical tragedy. (The worthless critics still mostly managed to miss this, tho

Ken Hendrix @kendhReplying to @MorlockPI would argue that there is an inherent fear of the individual by the sovereign realized by Jimmy. He gives his 'blessing' not simply from choice, but instead because he knows despite his authority he lacks the power to enforce his governance over an equally empowered individual.0 replies 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread
