Probably one of the most well known movie lines of all time.
Agreed.
I preferred John Wick's approach. No screwing around, he just ended them all, quickly.I prefer the Bond Villian approach. Tie your enemies down, gloat over the excessively convoluted way you're going to end them, then go have champagne and caviar.
Now participation awards aren't that big of a deal, You show up you put forth good effort and you get something in return. That's a good lesson.Good luck having that conversation with said parents...the same parents who ride us about participation trophies (that they gave us in the first place).
I haven't seen that one, but I think "The Accountant" has a similar approach. No words, just shooting... Until you meet up with your long lost brother...
The Accountant was a bit more long range, while John Wick is more up close and personal. I won't get graphic.
Interesting viewpoint. My counter argument (purely as a devil's advocate) is that in life, you seldom get anything for just showing up or even for doing your best. You do things because, at some deep innate level, you want to do them. In life, that's what you get in return for doing something - the knowledge and comfort that you did that thing. If you want recognition for doing something, do it better than your peers.
heh, He was skilled in long range and close quarters... I've seen clips of John Wick so I do know what you're talking about.
No snark, but another devil's advocate: You get a paycheck for showing up and doing your job, which is a lot of what kids are slowly molded into...no more free range playing and doing what you want...start fitting into the system, little vacation, work fixed hours 8-4 (or whatever), etc. I think trophies are not great in general, but there are definitely people who want to stack their kids up and see who is best. You can motivate them without grading them against each other...ie most people in life need to push themselves to their best.

I should go do something now!
A regular Paycheck
I am a proponent of rewarding excellence and people that excel should be recognized. But I disapprove of stripping recognition away from anyone that isn't superman/woman. Imagine if Olympic athletes were sent away in shame if they didn't get a Gold Medal, or if the Military only had the Medal of Honor and nothing else.
