Who is Robert McCall, known for his reading and conversation?



Another aspect of Robert McCall's character that has been fleshed out is that of a bookworm. He is a person who likes to read quietly by himself at a diner. One of the books that McCall was reading was `` The Invisible Man '' by Ralph Ellison. The story is about the protagonist, who becomes an ``invisible person'' in America in the 1930s, and searches for his identity and place in a society where racism is rampant. The main character of ``The Invisible Man'' is serious, clear-headed, and calm, and lives a quiet life in a basement. It's like Robert McCall.

McCall is a former CIA employee who is currently working as a clerk at a hardware store. McCall doesn't reveal his true identity, so much so that the employees at the store begin to gamble on his past. McCall only answers about his past, ``I was Pip.'' Pip is the first name for ``The Pips'' of the R&B group ` `Gladys Knight and the Pips '' who have been active since the 1950s. The members of “The Pips” supported the vocalist Gladys Knight, who boasts overwhelming singing ability.


The Pips are a trio, with Gladys Knight's older brother Bubba Knight and her cousin William Guest being the permanent members, with the other member changing over time. Therefore, unless you are a huge fan, you won't remember all the faces and names of The Pips. It became a perfect cover for Robert McCall, who wanted to hide his identity. It's also interesting to see a young man completely believing the story after hearing it. People of McCall's generation know a Pips dance move or two, and when you show them off, they believe you.

Robert McCall lives a quiet and quiet life as an "invisible person," but suddenly changes occur. He avoided interacting with people, but at a diner he was familiar with, he met a prostitute girl and became involved in a huge evil. As a result, he decides to live as an "The Equalizer" who can completely eliminate evil in the world in 19 seconds. The title ``The Equalizer'' is often used to refer to the equalizer in soccer. As you can see The Day After this, it means adding something to make things equal.


Robert McCall is a hero who makes the world more equal by imposing thorough punishment on evil and providing peace of mind to victims. However, the ending is different from Ralph Ellison's ``The Invisible Man.'' At the end of this film, McCall has a book called "The Invisible Man" in his hands, but what does he think when he reads it?
