The only modern day example I can think of is The Graduate.
At least for the Wicks, we’ve always liked mythology and fables, or something like that, that just kind of end, and they don’t tell you what happens the next day.
On every John Wick, there’s literally been a day where Keanu and I have sat in the room with whatever writing team we’re working with and we go, ‘OK, we’re going to end it right here and that’s it.’
We’re not looking for the Hollywood happy ending; we never have.
