Whence cometh John Wick 3? From what I've heard of it, it is about as violent a movie as there is. Yet it debuts as the top film in all the nation.
  Is is a reflection of our society, that it is so popular? Does it reflect our lust for violence? Does it lead us toward more violence?
  I haven't seen it. Haven't read the story line. But I wonder.
  I wonder if the killings are seen as justifiable. So often in movies, the killings that occur are. Justice is served by death being administered. This, too, is a lesson taught. This, too, is a danger to society. When we teach that some deaths are justified, when we teach that the gun is the answer, we encourage the use of the gun to administer death when we think it is deserved.
  We speak of being desensitized. We speak of being influenced by movies. What is the influence of a movie where death runs rampant, and is seen as justice? In the hearts of society, you foster the thought that there are those who deserve to die and they should be administered death. You foster the thought that if justice is to be served, it must be administered with death.
   Movies have their consequence. And, you cannot spread such influence and expect it not to follow you home. No, you might not be likely to become a killer, just from watching violent movies. But, you may become more inclined to believe in death sentence by gun rights instead of by trial in court.
