“Wick Is Pain”: Behind a “Hollywood Entertainment” Movie

On a train ride back to Munich, I watched Wick Is Pain, a documentary about how John Wick was made. I used to think of the film as pure entertainment, but learning about the discipline, risk, and behind-the-scenes effort—especially Keanu Reeves’ persistence and the project’s near collapse—changed how I saw it. This episode is a quiet reflection on what we miss when we only judge what’s on the surface.
