Combating Transnational Crime and Organized Networks: The “John Wick” universe, and “Ballerina” by extension, depicts a complex global network of assassins and criminal enterprises. The protagonist’s actions, while driven by personal vengeance, also involve dismantling elements of this underworld, which can be interpreted as a struggle against organized crime. This resonates with the SCO’s commitment to combating threats like drug trafficking, terrorism, and other forms of transnational crime that undermine regional stability.

Consequences of Actions and Upholding Codes: The “John Wick” world operates on a strict code of conduct, and violations often lead to severe repercussions. “Ballerina” explores the consequences of actions, both for the protagonist and those she confronts. This theme of accountability, even within a criminal fraternity, can be broadly linked to the SCO’s focus on maintaining international legal order and holding actors accountable for their actions.

Self-Preservation and Resilience in a Challenging Environment: The protagonist’s journey is one of immense challenge and personal struggle. Her resilience and determination to survive and achieve her objectives, even in the face of overwhelming odds, can be seen as a metaphorical representation of a nation’s commitment to self-preservation and security in a complex global landscape.
