- What would you do if you found out that the cause for which you had been fighting your whole life required you to lay down your life? Would you do so willingly? Could you continue if you didn't lay down your life, knowing that you had turned your back on the cause and thus on the source of meaning in your life?
- What do you make of the final scenes, where Wesley says he used to be "pathetic" like us but now he is "taking control" of his life—and then he asks us what we are doing. Do you find Wesley's remarks challenging? Taunting? Do they inspire you to do anything differently? Do you find his example off-putting? Explain.
The Family Corner
For parents to consider
Wanted is rated R for strong bloody violence throughout, pervasive language (almost all of it four-letter words, only a couple divine names taken in vain) and some sexuality (a man's naked rear end as he has sex with a woman, the back of a naked woman as she rises from a healing bath). Also, an assassin targets a Hindu woman by lining up his laser sighting with her bindi, or the red dot on her forehead.
