Keanu Reeves On Similarities Between Neo And Thomas Anderson, His Characters In "The Matrix" Films

[@pole6844]

He's great, but I don't think he's Jesus. Thanks to his artist mom and father, a geologist, a planetary scholar, and a Chinese farmer, he knew the world early, and he was smart, so he made educational films that benefited the world. Artists even tour the world in COVID situations and enjoy premiers with privatejets. We just see it on OTT and KZbin in a prison called Home. We're already in the virtual world, and we're 😢.... Although he will do charity work, he owns hundreds of billions of property homes, motorcycles and cars. It proves that he is not Jesus.

[@WormholeJim]

Keanu Reeves ranks beyond my list of favourite actors, I just realized. Trying on how now that Sean Connery has exited by grand retirement, Keanu Reeves had bumped into the vacant spot, it just didn't make sense. Thing is the influence his roles had had on me, the impact his giving body and life to the ideas portrayed in Matrix (1st one, the two others are cyberpunk fantasies without much merit in this regard) and Little Buddha have had on my bearings in life is priceless to me. His skills as an actor to convey the more subtle aspects into the living portrait of the characters and make them come out crisp and clear and relevant. Watching him killing demons as Constantine blew my mind in a different way, because there he was again now doing on film what I had been doing intensively for half a year or more in the computergame Painkiller! What an awesome film that was to watch! Doing effortless karate with his gunplay rather than just point and shoot bad guys as John Wick - Obviously. It's Keanu Reeves, come on. What other way would he possibly shoot people? Hail to the King that is not to be crowned, something like that.
