Keanu Reeves: my favorite actor. JOHN WICK<\/a> series: my favorite movie series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find the philosophy underlying the JOHN WICK universe absolutely fascinating. Let me share some basic ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. A world beyond money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Watching JOHN WICK has changed my personal thoughts and beliefs on money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example in the JW universe, those living in the ‘underworld’ use ‘coins’ (gold coins) as a mode of transaction. However ultimately, money (gold coins) in the JW world is simplified — it is simply used as a tool of human-labor exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does John Wick care for money? Not really. He seems to care more about love (for his deceased wife). He also prefers to live in solitude (privacy) in (very boring) New Jersey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
