Spider-Man: Far From Home

The film is set after ‘Avengers:

Endgame’ wherein Spiderman

has to step up to save the world

from new threats.

T

his is the third instalment in the John Wick

series that is very popular among action film

fanatics. This film starts where John Wick

Chapter 2 left off. John (Keanu) has killed a member

of the international assassins guild called the High

Table and now he has a $14 million bounty on his

head. Like expected, we can see adrenaline-pumping

action sequences in the first couple of minutes where

John fights a hoard of assassins out to get him. The

highlight of this instalment, and in fact, any of the

John Wick films, is the eye-catching action scenes. The

execution and technique used is quite commendable.

The viewers also get a small peek into John’s back

story, but you can’t help wishing there was a little

more meat to the story. Even then, it is still a satisfying

watch.

The film is based on the life of

mathematician Anand Kumar

and his educational program

Super 30.

A

Japanese animated teen drama film, it is based

on the manga of the same name written and

illustrated by Yoshitoki Ōima. The film deals

with the serious issue of bullying. Shōya Ishida would

torment Shōko Nishimiya, who cannot hear well, when

they were in elementary school. Eventually he gets

caught, and his classmates turn on him. He is alienated

and bullied. In high school, he tries to kill himself out of

grief, but a meeting with Nishimiya makes him want to

become her friend and correct old mistakes. It shows how

small misguided actions can have major consequences,

and that it is not always easy to make things right.
