Assignment 4 Part-A
The image is from the third chapter of the sequel “John Wick”. John Wick is a Hollywood action thriller sequel movie. This is the dog fight scene in the movie where John Wick and his co-actress go to fix a deal with her dog. The movie released in 2019 has an IMDb rating of 7.8 with a worldwide collection of $327,281,779. The hype of the crime action movie has the craze all over the world and can be considered as Keanu Reeves one of the best movies. The movie scene which is described below also shows love and affection with the dog of the lady.
The movie is shot in low lightening and low contrast to connecting with the violence and the dark underworld. The dark theme of the movie is correctly highlighted by the dim lighting. Analyzing the scene, the whole scene is shot at night or dark situation to connect with the story. The background of the picture has dim yellow lighting to make the scene visible to the audience so that the audience could have a real image of the scene. Similarly, the firesticks also have a connection with the movie scene as it replicates the dark theme of the underworld. Furthermore, the action scene has the old den structured building which shows the livelihood of the people from the underworld.
Due to the dim lighting, the gunfire could be seen. The movie scene has very few hand-to-hand fight scenes but has the maximum number of fight scenes have the gunfight which shows the violence is at its peak. In the scene, we can see a female lady fighting with the villains as her dog is shot by one of the guys which show that there is not any discrimination amongst the power and the techniques of the female and the male characters in the movie. The action done by the lady in the movie is much more dominant than the male character. But in contemporary their real the techniques are less due to masculinity and energy (Fury, 2015). The fighting techniques and the use of heavy machines like assault riffles by the lady character and the lead character shows they both have good knowledge about the machines.
Watching crime-action thriller movies like John Wick, the audience especially the youth follow the path towards antisocial behavior (Hassan, 2009/12/01). This kind of movie causes a negative impact psychologically as the young brains catch the negative part of the movie and make themselves follow the negative path.
