My friend owes a sketchy dude money, so he's been asked to "deliver a package" to another sketchy dude 4 hours away. I dont have kids or dependents, so my buddy asks me to help him out. Shit goes side ways and it becomes clear only one of us is gonna make it out alive. He's got a wife and kids, i just have student loans, so i take the gun and hold off the pissed of dudes while he makes a break for it. I take two hits to my right shoulder before giving them the slip. I know I'm not gonna make it to the hospital, so i make my way to the bench on the river walk nearby so that this can be the last thing i see before i die knowing i did at least one good deed.

That's what guys mean when they say that.

Then the craziest thing happened. A golden retriever walked up to me with a stick. He put it in my lap and I faded out in a blinding white light. I woke up with my arm bandaged in a brightly lit, but eerily silent room. I try to move my arm. "Shit." I reach over with my other arm and push the button to tilt up the powered gurney. "The fuck..." as I sit up and look more closely, my arm has actually been converted into a fully mechanical cyborg arm with what appears to be a modified belt fed StG 44 mounted to it and loosely wrapped in bandages. As I wince in pain, the door flies open. Two thugs dressed in black barge in holding a scruffy doctor by the collar. One points his pistol at me. "There's that motherf--" an eruption of gunfire occurs. I look to my left and there's a smoking hole in bed pillow behind me.

After the smoke clears all three men lay on the ground. I drag myself out of bed and kneel at the doctors side. He has a wound in his abdomen. "Your friend.. they have him.... And his family" he says with some effort. "Where?" I demand. He points to one of the slain thugs. A phone protruded from his hip pocket. I unlock it with his thumb print. GPS coordinates. I stand up, the sound of spent shells rolling on the ground and my new arm whirring. Looking at it, I know what I must do now. I pick up the ammo bag next to the bed and sling it over my shoulder and walk out the door.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done.

The White Snow is a symbol of purity a Void of sin blood is the sacrifice for mankind a symbol as seen in the hit TV show Jesus Christ, this is a desire to sacrifice yourself for the sins of the world.

I get it but at the same time I do not. It is a reference to a movie or something?

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 99 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Many pieces of film/TV have scenes where a guy has been mortally wounded doing something for the greater good and then bleeds out in a scene like this. It's like a melancholic righteous death

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Blade Runner 2049 reference maybe?

I want to bleed out not on the bench, but just below it, my back propped up by the wood.

It doesn't have to be that way if you just leave John wick the fuck alone.

The cinematographer in me is wondering how I would go about staging the scene without putting footprints in the snow.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Composite 2 shots maybe? You would have to be sure to map routes in and out of the scene and then make sure the action doesn't cross those routes.

I'd like to do baby footprints with the side of my loosely clinched hand and dab in the toes with my fingers, but whatever.

Screw that, I'm not bleeding out freezing.
On the other hand it would make one metal snow angel.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

Too cold; blood'll freeze and stopped bleeding.
