For our first task had to to find 3 examples of films, games and media sources that we personally like. Dislike, and what we feel hasn't been seen by many people. I found it so hard to just pick 1 film as the one I like, since I like so many, I decided to pick 'John Wick' since an action film was what I was in the mood for at the time.
It was a brilliant film, what I loved about it was the intense fight scenes. I'm very much a fan of fight scenes when the camera just focuses on the fighting rather than flailing around trying to make it seem more dramatic. I also love how realistic it is, ie he shoots as John Shoots as many bullets that would be in the gun before he re-loads. The colour palette is to a very mono tone once he's decided to be bad again.
PLOT: John Wick (Keanu Reeves) retired from his violent career after marrying the love of this life. Her sudden death leaves him in deep mourning. When sadistic mobster losef Tarasoy and his thugs steal John's prized car and kill the puppy that was a last gift from his wife, John unleashes the remorseless killing machine within and seeks vengeance. Meanwhile, Losef's father -- John's former colleague puts a bounty on John,
The film I disliked was 'Spice World' Featuring the Spice Girls, I love theirs songs but their acting could used some work. Terrible acting with a terrible story line.
My film that I felt hadn't been seen by many was a Korean film called 'Man From Nowhere', it may seem slow at times. But the story line is worth waiting for. We slowly get introduced to the characters, parts of their lives are revealed over time. For example, the main character is a mysterious man who seems to have a soft spot for the other lead character who is a young girl who we later learn has a extremely troubled life. We later learn why this is *SPOILER* his pregnant wife gets hit by a truck while she is waiting for him. It's a truly thrilling story.
PLOT: A quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on drug-and-organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.
