a cool, deep-dive analysis of "John Wick: Chapter 4"

The Heavy Spoilers YouTube channel has a nifty, deep-dive analysis of "John Wick: Chapter 4" up. I don't agree with some of it (his early mention of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse struck me as ridiculous, and later on, when he tries to map John's journey onto Dante's Inferno, I mentally balked), but he did say something that I wish I'd mentioned in my own review, namely, that the demonic masks worn by the Marquis's strike team at the Osaka Continental were modeled after traditional demonic masks found in Japanese culture. Whatever my quibbles, I thought this was a good enough analysis to slap up here.
