All the ingredients that are put into the plot of a film have to be used for something. They should move the story forward and veer off in a new direction, or they might explain some significant detail. And add nuances to the character and circumstances of the protagonist. The latter is what the Russo brothers and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely did with Sierra Six, main character invisible agent (2022) who does he play Ryan Goslingwith the tattoo he wears on his arm, which, of course, has a meaning.
It wouldn’t really matter if it wasn’t for the fact that the directors of the Netflix film have said they want a franchise about this spy and action tale, a whole cinematic universe. In other words, a tattoo invisible agent It helps us understand the future of what promises to be a new saga.
It’s young Claire Fitzroy, played by Julia Butters, asking Six about the tattoo in invisible agent. What he answers says about what he wrote “Sisyphus” with Greek alphabet classical. And he explains the myth of the wicked king of Ether, punished by Zeus because he always pushes down the mountainside a huge stone, which, having barely reached the top, rolls back to the beginning. And that is why today there is talk of repetitive and frustrating work.
The rock that never reaches the top of the mountain in The Invisible Agent
Ryan Gosling’s character invisible agent he is hired to do CIA homicide assignments by Donald Fitzroy, played by Billy Bob Thornton, who offers to break him out of jail if he agrees to his terms at the start of the Netflix movie. His late father, with the recognizable Shea Whigham face, was offender that he justified himself by saying that he wanted to “turn his sons into men.” Among other terrible things, he burned her skin with lit cigarettes and held her head under water in the family bath.
But Six, whose real name is Courtland Gentry, according to the opening scene, decided to shoot him, fearing that his younger brother would die because of him. Thus, when he wanted to get rid of such torment, he was put in prison. He agrees to be under the command of the CIA as an experienced assassin, so as not to remain locked up in four walls. But his work ends slavery from which he wants to escape and without Donald Fitzroy as boss, they won’t let him in.
Moreover, upon discovering that something was wrong with the latest mission entrusted to him by the corrupt Danny Carmichael, a role taken over by Réré-Jean Page in invisible agent, choose to run away with information. And an international hunt is unleashed for his capture. It is revealed that the target played by Callan Mulvey, who kills her anyway, is Sierra 4. One of his own, enlisted in the agency just like him. D Sixth’s last attempt to escape so it seems impossible.
From the condemnation of Sisyphus to Tiresias
Of course, Ryan Gosling’s character defeats his worst enemy and stalker, sociopath Chris Evans Lloyd Hansen. But the intervention of Suzanne Brewer makes him resign. Correction so the sins of Danny Carmichael fall on the character of Captain America, Six continues to work for the CIA, and Claire Fitzroy and Dani Miranda of Ana de Armas are safe. Not to mention being free invisible agent.
In fact, when he runs away again and picks up the niece of the sacrificed Donald Fitzroy, it can be assumed that he will be followed. Not giving him a chance to live in peace. And, with this trajectory, a skilled protagonist invisible agent looks like Sisyphus. In his struggle and for reasons beyond his control, he changed one chain for another. And whenever it seemed to him that the boulder he was pushing could finally reach the top, he fell back down the hill.
But we must know that tattoo according to Greek legend they had recorded in prison, from which he could not get out between 1995 and 2003. Something corresponding to prison culture in cinema, anyway. Although we must think that their motives then were not related to his future CIA experience. Therefore, perhaps the name of the mythical blind soothsayer Teiresias should also be tattooed on his right forearm.
