The Equalizer 3 - Aged Wine Denzel Washington
Some of them are like aged wine. As the years go by, they continue to improve and you never know when they will peak because you have no idea where the peak is for them. As they age, their aromas and flavors change, they get better.
Did you know that it is the airtight stopper that adds this value to the wine? The fruity and floral flavors in the wine that is cut off from contact with air become different spicy and bitter as the years pass. This spontaneous flavor that emerges over the years allows the wine to get better as it ages...
...but again, the key is of course the quality of the products from which the wine is made and the way it is made. It is the airtight stopper that gives the wine its spontaneous flavor as it ages. Any wine that comes into contact with air deteriorates over time.
I think Denzel Washington is one of the wines of cinema whose flavor increases over the years. His contact with the air is so beautifully cut that it fascinates me on the screen with its unique aroma as it ages.
I find it an understatement to say that I admired Denzel Washington's acting in The Equalizer 3, which I think is one of the best films of 2023, which includes action and crime genres. For me, it was magnificent!
The moments in which he sharpens his upper lip and throws his sharp gaze over his confident image reminded me of Bruce Willis' first movies. His acting in Moonlinghting and Die Hard was marked by Bruce Willis with his distinctive sarcastic look and smile...
...but unfortunately, I'm not going to use the analogy of Bruce Willis as a wine that gets better with age. Maybe as a wine whose cork has been weathered and spoiled by contact with air. His performance in his last movies was very bad, as if he was admitting that he was getting old and that it was time to retire.
With The Equalizer 3, my admiration for Denzel Washington has accelerated greatly. I made the analogy of aged wine for him on purpose and I think he deserves it. I haven't seen Indiana Jones 5 yet, I don't have a clear idea about Harrison Ford's performance. After watching it, will I put Harrison Ford in the same category with Bruce Willis or will I think that he is as delicious as aged wine and put him next to Denzel Washington?
Coming to terms with the dirty deeds of the past can be interpreted as the return of a lost conscience. You should definitely watch The Equalizer 3, which tells the story of McCall (Denzel Washington) coming to terms with himself for the bad things done in the past and his effort to protect the people where he finds peace.
The movie also offers a pleasant view of Naples, one of the beautiful cities of Italy. You feel the mystical atmosphere of the city with its cafes and narrow streets. You can also consider Denzel Washington's mastery as a bonus of the movie! I am not exaggerating, it is really an excellent movie! Have a good time!
