The world is full of so-called "men" like you, and, in a perfect world, everything we do comes with a price, but this ain't a perfect world. People do bad things. If you're lucky, you get a chance to set it right, but most of the time it goes unpunished. This ain't one of them times. The mistake you made was you killed my friend. So, I'm gonna kill each and every one of you, and the only disappointment in it for me is that I only get to do it once."

    You guys should look up Denzel talking about racial tensions. He is VERY passionate with regards to his beliefs and stance on it. Everything he said in that scene is what he wants to tell every kid in that situation. I guarantee that's where his passion in that scene comes from, it's from the heart.

    What's really poignant to me is that Robert tries so hard to compensate for the bad things he did in his life but the darkness still manages to peek through. He met the guy's wife and daughters and still had no qualms about killing Pedro Pascal's character despite knowing that he'd be rendering those girls fatherless.

The dinner conversation scene from the first movie always comes to mind when Robert asks the Russian what he sees when he looks at him and in that moment he looks dead in the eyes. My initial comment was more of an observation and expansion of a thought present in the film rather than a critique on Robert or even an attempt at making a point.

    Listen, I loved the original tv series with Edward Woodward.
    Even more, I am a fan of these movies. Denzel takes this character and brings a complicated heart to it. Part hardened and business-like, part caring/mentor/helper, part broken deep inside.
    The biggest two regrets are that even though I am hyped for #3, it points out the finite nature of this character in the movies, and that saddens me.
    My second regret is that he couldn’t kill those guys twice.

    The POV of his rediscovery of self. The first movie externalizes the equalization: the typical trope of leveling the field for the little guy. This movie is the leveling of the field within, finding pieces of himself he hadn't yet fully processed. The elimination of his old team, even Melissa's character, was the step by step erasure of the worst parts of his past. Really enjoyed this movie. And, while I'm 100% all for a John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Equalizer crossover (an Expendables with actual depth and character, god forbid)... I'll also be perfectly fine with 3 being the end of everything. No doubt he'll finally meet his actual match, the equalization will take place from there. It's been nice for the 1st to have leaned light, the 2nd leaned dark. The psychosomatic pulley system they're going to have to use for #3 is going to be so, so good.

      Yeah they showed the guy who had his neck twisted holding his neck in pain in the next shot. I do wish they had chosen different choreography against that guy, because in Hollywood logic neck twists/snaps typically = death, including just early in this movie. While I'm sure Robert could choose to only incapacitate people with neck twists in this universe, it makes it a bit unclear in a quick fight scene like that. I completely see why Greg and Coy thought he killed them.

    23:22..That scene, "YOU DON'T KNOW DEATH IS", the stark intensity of those words gives me the chills everytime I see it.Denzel absolutely kills it in that scene and the whole movie..Outstanding Actor,check out "MAN ON FIRE".

    Robert McCall is the guy they do not want to underestimate him, and mess with and come after him and the people closet to him.
    Because if they do, he will come after them and ruthlessly hurt and break them leaving them broken and crippled for the rest of thier lives and if by choice kill them; ruin and humiliate their lives, dignities, and reputation horribly; and tear and destroy everything they have, desire and own all their lives into pieces and ashes. All of them both mentally, physically, and psychologically.
    He is their worst nightmare to them.

    "Things got equalized." As a writer, that was brilliantly written. Got a sub.

    Thanks for the reaction! Robert actually doesn’t kill those guys in the penthouse. You can still hear/see them moving in the background after he beats them down. He’s so cold with it that he knows how to neutralize without killing!

  • @NickPR87
    @NickPR87 Год назад +4

    He always refused to do sequels, but the way this was written, crafted and directed by someone he respects in Antoine Fuqua makes you understand why he agreed to do this series. Listen, I love John Wick and the preposterous thing it is, but it lacks character background or reasoning behind the things he does.
    I'm very excited for part 3!

    • @ImAlsoMerobiba
      @ImAlsoMerobiba Год назад +2

      Agreed. John Wick does really well with stunt work, and even cinematography and world building as the movies continue. The overall writing and character development doesn't hold a candle to Equalizer though. Two very different types of action series, and both great in their own rights.

  • @catherinehubbard1167
    @catherinehubbard1167 Год назад +1

    Excellent reactions and insights! I am definitely not in the 2.5% commenters that asked you to “talk less.”
    So many things to ponder. A small one that really struck me was how the character of his wife is revealed: her glowing smile in the portrait, her cheerful Cape Cod bakery, the companionable chairs looking out to sea. Then you have to imagine how they balanced each other and how her loss sent him into self-exile and coldness. Here he had Miles sit in that chair with him for a while, mindfully put his wedding ring on his other hand, and is back home. He is open in a way he hasn’t been since her death. At the same time, he has finished the list of books. From what we saw of them, they were all about self-reclaiming, finding a life purpose, other things he needed to understand to be able to move on to something positive.
    Like you, I LOVED the whole subplot with Miles. The reveal of Miles’ glorious, sunny, hope-filled wall painting, his new confidence, all believable and so well done. It’s a balance to the darkness in the story.
    By the way, I don’t think he killed all the abusers in that early scene as a Lyft driver. I think he hurt them and broke limbs, but he knows the fine line before bringing death. If one really was close to killing him, he might have killed that one in a self-defensive reflex, but most I believe he left alive with a lesson learned.

    If you haven't seen it, Man On Fire is another really interesting movie. Denzel doesn't make standard action pics, they have this more contemplative nature.

  • @garethbowen6523
    @garethbowen6523 Год назад +5

    I think the main reason the film has moved on from the first installment is based on the original TV series.
    They linked back to the drifter aspect of the character and how he moved on to help different people.
    How they developed it further with Denzel was pure cinematic joy 😊
    He is now the Equaliser and I can't wait for 3 ❤

  • @kallreader7376
    @kallreader7376 Год назад +3

    The CBS series from the 80s had a similar drama vibe, with pretty tense action for a TV program at the time. Fuqua and Denzel are able to ratchet everything up to 11!

    I really enjoyed this reaction! I loved the atmosphere in this film - the weather build-up worked really well. My favourite scene was the villain reveal in the kitchen followed by Denzel's character using Dave's family as cover to leave safely. Brilliant stuff.
    As a big fan of your reactions, I'd like to recommend The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. It would be such a fun and interesting film to react to because it has Nic Cage playing himself, plus Pedro playing a VERY different role to what we're used to!

    The way that he analyzes the situation before he initiates the fight is how Batman should approach combat. He is a master tactician and it’s time that they convey that on the big screen. RDJ did the same thing in the Sherlock Holmes movies.

    I lived in that neighborhood for 28 years and while they filmed this, everyday was mostly sunny the editing in this is very good, if you want to see what it normally looks like not drying a movie look up Brant Rock Massachusetts, Esplanade that’s where these final scenes were filmed. I met Denzel he’s a super good dude

  • @robertrouse4503
    @robertrouse4503 Год назад +1

    The benefits of being almost 70. The old man was Orson Bean. When I was a kid he was well known. Also the original Robert McCall was a 60s something White man with a team. Then Denzel as basically a loner, then Queen Latifa as 50s something Equalizer with a team.
    Franchise.

    Liam Neeson from Taken in an interview says he's a huge Denzel Washington fan, but he was obsessed with this series and he watches them repeatedly... This is Denzel's first sequel and it was no coincidence it was with Antoine Fuqua. Fuqua said Denzel has free range to freelance with the script which he often does, like his legendary "King Kong" line from Training Day and "When you pray for rain line" in part one. Fuqua said his only concern was it wasn't captured. The chemistry they have came together for part 3 set for release Sept 1

    The film was fun to watch and tapped into a fuller deeper range that is meant to be immersive and interactive like VR or a video game without the actually VR visuals and game. This film was clearly meant to be
    felt like his autobiography. The audience
    is meant to understand the emotion of his training, past, psychology and being with him. It was a personal thriller while WIck is mostly a fantasy escape.
