Body Language Analyst Reacts To John Wick Kills Santino 

Enter Star Wars Celebration: bit.ly/enigma3uunYqf to get PS4, Star Wars DVD, toys and more.

Once Santino says “Jonathan” he sealed his fate. That literally triggered John.

“He got shot, that’s a sign he’s dying” -him probably

I didnt even notice that Winston gave a micro smile after John Wick shot Santino

I enjoyed Charon's expression more than Johns in that scene. The look he has knowing full well what John is planning to do. He captured despair and concern so perfectly aligned with his characters attributes.

somehow, this showed up on my recommended, with "posted 3 minutes ago" this timing is amazing

Notice how the dog walks with its head ever so slightly tilted up toward John, this shows us that the dog is happy with its guardian & will happily lick his face.

As you can see, we have got the notification, this suggests that enigma has uploaded.

I wish you would have talked a bit about the concierge. I really liked the swallow before giving his answer. He knew full well what was going to happen. I think his worry was more about the consequences for John rather than Santino being killed.

This movie is a treasure trove of spot-on acting and behaviors, a huge part in why this movie became an instant classic the day it was released. And hats of to those who did the casting, they knew what they needed for this movie and who all to get to act in it. Pretty much every actor in it understands the role they've been given, and with that i mean, REALY understand, indebt understanding, this movie is absolute quality.

It’s interesting to note that when Santino entered the lounge it was full of people but when John enters it’s nearly empty. The transition only implies a few minutes. Did Winston subtly make sure everyone left the lounge so that he could reduce collateral damage?

As we can see‚ John shooting Santino implies that no‚ he did not just in fact walk away.

Learning new things about body language just by watching these videos... even though I'll really never remember whatever I hear from the videos.

When he took his dog back from Charon, asking how he'd behaved, it was less an inquiry about the dog and more about Charon's willingness to keep the dog himself, once all was said & done. Or so it seemed to me. It seemed pretty clear that John had resigned himself to being killed at that point. Powerful stuff, that...

"Just pure focus" Well John is a man of focus and sheer fecken will

This is a scene that was tense the whole way through

4:50 Here, you can see Wick poinst the gun at Santino's face, pulls the trigger, and kills him. This is usually a sign of anger

You forgot to note that Santino really never loses eye contact with John for more than a second. His fear is making him focus hard on the most threatening man ever

Winston has been playing the game with john as his instrument since he knew he could be brought back in.

The finger on the trigger is a movie trick. You're correct saying that he wouldn't put his finger on the trigger if he didn't want to kill Santino, so the fact that he did put the finger indicated for the audience that he was going to kill. The thing is, a trained shooter wouldn't put a finger on the trigger anyway - not before he rises the gun and aims. This is a security rule and Jon broke it here (which he don't do in other moments).

I got an ad for this video that started with: "I'm about to blow your mind in the next 60 seconds"

I don't know if you take requests, but the scene with Bill Burr in the Mandalorian could be fun to analyze. The one in the barracks when they were confronted by the imperial officer.

oh man, i didnt even notice John's finger was on the trigger rounding the staircase, indicating deliberate intent to fire :O

There's a movie scene that always gives me chills. It's the part with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance, where Walken is trying to get Hopper to give up his son's whereabouts. I don't know how accurate the body language is, but I know it is powerful on screen.

Damn!, i've never noticed winston's micro-smiling, that's a great foreshadow!

“He was a good dog, I have enjoyed his company.” Love that part lol. Awesome analysis, thanks for the cool vid.

I've really enjoyed watching this channel throughout the past few months, watching it evolve to a higher level of quality with each episode

Last time I was this early, Ian McShane was Al Swearengen

Another great detail is how John shoots Santino- he doesn't just raise the gun and fire, he pivots his shoulders slightly and thrusts the pistol forward, the way a martial artist throws a punch. He's not there for a cold execution, he's there for personal revenge. Brilliant scene, and great analysis!

You are doing a great job. I can tell you put real effort incorporating everything you can to make the observations as accessible as possible. Keep it up!

I watch these videos with the aspirations to be an actor, so thanks for doing these videos

Glad to see your numbers all around are growing amigo. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing your new vids, every time.

I love watching this channel in the background it is great, and I look down every now and again to see what enigma is pointing out, and I forgot I was a patron for a second XD love your vids man keep them up

Keep em coming Enigma, these are great.

Keep going man, you're already one of my favourites channels on RU-vid!

I'm proud of you, you're growing very quickly, keep up the banger vids.

I’m a simple man, I see enigma post I click 😌

3:23 enigma looks like he’s sitting here 😂😂

I've watched the wick trilogy multiple times now. And I never noticed the finger on the trigger. Amazing.

Hey you should do a Analyst of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air when wills dad leaves, I think it would be interesting

Amm eagerily waitingg You are helping me to become a better observer Thank u dude

Awesome video. Might I suggest when Rick and The Governor meet for a future video?

You should do an analysis of prodigal son on fox, im interested to know your views on some of the main characters in that TV show! Definitely worth a watch

Sometimes I wonder if those microexpressions are intentional. Maybe he had a slight smile because he did the line well?

I did not realize the micro smile of Winston till you both mentioned and showed it. I'm ashamed I did not realized that minute detail.

I was waiting for "in this scene when Charon immediately responded with "he was a good boy" indicates that he in fact, was a good boy

Winston is my favorite. He has such a powerful commanding presence, but also a peaceful one where you feel safe and open. Like a gentle giant of sorts. He is like the grandpa you want to give a hug and have christmas dinner with,but also the big boy in a secret hitman organization you dont want to upset or disrespect. You almost FEAR to disrespect/upset him,but more so because of his disappointment in you and not so much the punishment itself. If i was John in this situation i wouldnt of been able to pull the trigger as soon as Winston stepped in. Damn.

After you finish examining the John Wick movies, can you please exam the Pulp Ficton movie next? Especially Samuel L Jackson's scenes as Jules Winnfield?

You should do a video on ‘Black Mirror’ season 5 episode 2, ‘smithereens’. Its got a lot of emotion going on in it and yeah

Keep up your great work will support you

Can’t wait for Chapter 4 🤙

The elevator scene from the movie, Drive. my favorite scene with such a range of emotion. would love to see your perspective on that movie and the body language between everyone.

New intro looks great keep it up

I've got a sinking feeling that Winston is behind all of this, the death of Johns wife and everything.

The dogs wagging of the tail is a key detail. Dogs wag their tales when excited, happy, or otherwise positively emoting emotion. The dog wagging his tail in this scene depicts that he is in fact a good boy.

Bravo Sir!, Keep them coming, cheers . .

Love the analysis and I love the new setup too, keep up the great work!

Can you please also examine Winston's facial expressions at the end of John Wick 3 and give us your opinion of his scene.

Alternate take: Winston knew John was going to shoot but genuinely wanted to talk him down. He was very calm, presented his hands open and gestured towards John. He had genuine concern in his voice. The microsmile was not because he wanted John to kill Santino but simply because he was glad that Santino was dead.

enigma's eyebrows are raised when john shoots santino this shows surprise

I’d love to see you breakdown both Ben Kingsley and Ian McShane’s body language in the film Sexy Beast. That would be fascinating !

I would love to see a reaction to the end of this movie. It is the first time the viewers see fear in John's eyes.

bro love your stuff plz do a video on ghost from power

Wonderful actors who really knew how to portray the characters

Do actors get taught all those little details or do they happen to do it themselves? I know there’s always rehearsals and training but the little details like the smirk from Winston or the thumbs?

Probably has been recommended tons, but it would be interesting to see your reaction to the Equalizer films. Denzel Washington does such an amazing job there.

The finger on the trigger thing i was really hoping you wouldnt miss. Glad you didnt

Nothing like another analysis to start the day

Now I really want to see you analyze the Jotaro vs Dio fight from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Ah, so there is actual meaning behind John's disheveled gait during his arrival to the front desk. I've sometimes approached places like that after dealing with a _ton_ of labor and stress. ... but my gun is always holstered. >.>

The most satisfying moment in the entire franchise

Santino is that little brother that runs to mom when he gets into an argument with his brother, just for his mom to tell him he was in the wrong

"we put our hands in our pocket to show we are fearless" *me putting my hands in public because I'm anxious someone will laugh at my tiny hands*

I was wondering if you could check out some Sons of Anarchy scenes.

Can you do the Mad Max (1979) Max's body language with both chases? 😊

After they conclude the story with the absolute cluster fuck of conflict with the John Wick saga, they should really do a prequel showing his rise and how he left, or at least a movie about the impossible task

thanks for the arrow in the thumbnail

Can you please review some scenes from The Last of Us 2? Specifically Some of the important character deaths?

3:46 when was John a Marine? thought he was just trained to be a hitman by that russian group that he visits with all those kids.

As A Marine Vet I wanna clarify finger does not go onto Kill Switch until you are ready to revoke Life passes... Keanu Is a highly Teained Highly Skilled Marsman in real life .

"Wake up Santino, we got a ci- oh wait."

Great 👍 job on the video do you every think about being a detective in your life

I dont think it was a smile, it was more like a sigh or a welp gesture

The john wick movies are badass

I honestly can't wait for John Wick 4 and seeing how many of the High Table he kills alongside Winston and the Adjudicator from 3. If the Continental had made one exception for the slaying of Santino, the series could have ended with everyone going their separate ways as usual. Instead, 3 happened, 4 is going to happen, and after the events of Part 3, Winston, the Adjudicator, the High Table, and the mysterious Man Above the Table will all die screaming and in pain for crossing John Wick.

Such a great Chanel

Video two asking enigma to react to that one episode of the Mandalorian where the ex imprerial shoots the officer from talking about operation cinder

My only gripe is how short these videos are. The content is far to interesting and well presented that a 5 minute video could never satiate my desire to keep consuming more

Do peaky blinders series PLEASE. Love your videos

More of those john wick videos please.

The acting all round was great, esp the facial expressions of Charon when he looked in John's eyes. But the moment that stood to me was the smirk of both expression and voice when Santino said "Yeah Johnathon". Like, dude, what are you, 5 years old? did you just tattletale on him to the teacher? S: *Tattles to Teacher that John won't share his Gameboy with him* T: John, let Santino share your Gameboy" S: (Bratty smug tone) "Yeah John, share your Gameboy" *John bashes Santino's skull with it* J: "I shared it"

the finger on the trigger showing he intends to use it isn’t really legit. it doesn’t mean, only put your finger on the trigger if you know you’re going to shoot, it means literally keep your finger off of the trigger until you are aiming at the target you intend to shoot. it’s called trigger finger discipline. or booger hook discipline for the uninitiated

I wish there was just a bit more of an analysis of Santino here. How smug he was right up to when John shoots him. I'm not an expert, but I could tell he didn't believe John would do anything inside the Continental. He didn't think John would break the rules. He must have felt that with the manager present, he was completely out of John's reach. Little did he know that vengeful fury can be far stronger than the rational mind. He felt untouchable with his stolen Seat at The Table, until John escaped, and nearly eliminated, the hit squad he'd prepared. He felt untouchable when he put out the bounty, until John came calling. He felt untouchable eating, unbeknownst to him, his last meal. He felt safe as he repeated the words of the manager, probably right up to the point John pointed the pistol at his head. He had but a split second to realize that he was not untouchable just because the manager was begging John to stay his vengeful hand. I *love* the smug way he acted to his last moments. How quickly his facade of invulnerability crumbled the moment he was in any danger. Santino had ambition that far outstripped his worthiness. He wanted a Seat at The Table, but had no ability to ever understand what it meant to have such a Seat of power. I believe arrogance can be earned. If you can talk the talk, but back it up, by walking the walk, it's okay by me to feel that confident in yourself. If you can step back when your power, skill, or whatever is challenged, and realize there might be someone at least nearly as good, and then admit it aloud to that very person, even in front of others, then you can be as arrogant as you feel is necessary to let others know you're not lacking in confidence in regards to your abilities. Santino was arrogant, foolishly thinking himself to be a chessmaster who could never fail by virtue of, well, existing as himself. The moments where he's challenged shows just how fragile his position is, and yet he never really realized that betraying the person that gives you your power is a path leading directly to a punishing defeat.

Commander Zavala..is the manager in?

Santino was counting on John not shooting him in the Continental, which of course meant that he didn't understand John at all. I wonder what the fall out would be of the Camorra Family losing both their heirs in one night? 🤔

I feel Winston told him him to talk away more for cause John was his friend, than cause it was the rules

when that little kid says everything is T when playing tag...

Could you do the scene where joker kills his mother?

Where did you see that JW is a former marine? Was there a new comic?

Do you think the film director and actors put this much effort into these nuances? I never noticed the finger on the trigger, the smile after Santino was shot... incredible if they planned all of this out.
