Document Summary
In the context of two movies (john wick and die hard), list out each ideology and talk about how movies expressed these qualities. Individualism different from everybody else: taciturnity (actions speak louder than words doesn"t say much, but kicks ass instead) John wick is an average american dude (average/nationalism) who lost his wife to illness. She gets him a dog bc she wants him to love something (patriarchal/family values) Russian dudes want to buy his car, he refuses in russian (uniqueness) Thugs break in, kill dog, take his car (manichaeism russians are evil; cold war enemies) We then identify with john, and support his action to kill them all (justified violence/vigilantism) Later revealed in film that he"s legendary assassin (unique) who fell in love (average) He"s taciturn (would rather speak with guns than words) shared by most heroes. Protagnosit just an average american guy (average/nationalism) who divorced his wife because of her job (patriarchal)
