For the Love of Keanu
Ойын-сауық
In 1988, it would have been hard to imagine that Keanu Reeves, playing a dimwitted guitar player in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, would eventually be one of the biggest action stars in the world. All these years later, his résumé certainly reads like that of an action star: Point Break, Speed, The Matrix, and John Wick, the list goes on. But Reeves doesn’t feel like the standard action lead because he has spent such a large portion of his career typecast as surfer dudes and brainless bros. But Point Break was a major turning point for Reeves. The film allowed him to stick to his pre-established easy-going persona, while also engaging in some adrenaline pumping, high-stakes action. Despite nearly constant critical bashing, Reeves has stuck to his guns while never being afraid to try something new (the seedy motel manager in The Neon Demon is certainly a far cry from Johnny Utah). And we love him for it.
We love Keanu so much that we apparently can’t stop writing about him. So if you heart this video, be sure to check out our articles on The Spirituality of Keanu and “Siberia” and the Hidden Wisdom of a Critical Failure.

I can see where he got the reputation of being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, he seems so humble and down to earth.
a long time I used to mock Keanus´s performances. I´ve drastically changed my opinion and learned to enjoy his appearance in movies. The man is a machine of dedication and like said in this video, when handled in the right way few can fit his shoes.
Keanu is indeed THE Cool breeze over the mountain.

bruh i love this guy but hes genuinely not a good actor. I know the new Matrix movie is ass but his delivery on some of the lines especially in the start of the movie were so bad.
Keanu is the best!
He has become one of my favorite actors, and definitely my all time favorite celebrity. He is a great human. He is true to himself and what else can we ask for? All great actors constantly improve. I watch some of our favorites just phone it in, and Keanu never never does this. This video quotes too many idiotic reviews. I'm glad Keanu ignored them. He is the real deal. His humanity has been part of every performance. It's just too cool for the critics to see. That's why they are critics. If you can't do something, become a critic, and if you really have no ability, become a nasty critic.
We love Mr. Reeves because he is the perfect example of what a human being should be. He just gets better with age.
It doesn't matter what critics say. Women love Keanu and men want to be like him.

I personally find him really charismatic when he's in character, whatever role he plays.
His acting in My Own Private Idaho was sublime along with the long lost gem River . I don't know why Constantine wasn't appreciated at that time , but I'm glad it has it's own cult following now.

he also is very humble even to this day...the fame he got from matrix alone would corrupt lesser minds. this guy has so much damn money yet he will just chill out and ride on a public bus. he is so chill it's like he as well as neo has transcended our world and can see past the trivial shit. He has zero ego too which is why sometimes it often awkward watching him interviews because he just does not feel the need to clog up the room with countless talking like most actors do. He just gets straight to the point when answering questions and that is sometimes fresh and new to see.

Keanu is my favorite actor! He is humble, down-to-earth individual and focused about his work. Hell, he even trained real martial arts, so he doesn't relly on stunt doubles for his own movies. He came a long way.

Correction: he does 95% of his ACTION scenes, he has stunt double for the stunt scenes (Jackson)
There's also the fact that he gives his all in every roll he has. The guy's in his 50s, and he still does his own stunts, training for hours and hours on end for the John Wick trilogy. He wants to go the extra mile just so he can help his directors make kickass movies. As an actor myself, I respect a guy like him who doesn't rely on his talent or resume, but rather his own hard work.

Who does that?!
I had a strange trajectory when it comes to Keanu. I saw River's Edge in theaters in 1987 and was badly smitten. Then ran to see Dangerous Liasons. However, was too much of a snob to see Bill and Ted, and didn't even see it till 2015 with my kids. Great kids movie. So much more appropriate than any Disney or Pixar, and great moral "don't be a dick". In the middle, Matrix seemed like such a different Keanu that I'm not sure it even really connected with me that it was the same person. I mean it did but it didn't. Like a whole bunch of separate incredibly gorgeous men who to my surprise turned out to be the same person.
I grew up with Reeves in action movies and I thought that it was weird that he acted in comedy movies before. I wonder if it's the opposite for people who've seen him in comedy movies first.

Fuck yeah. I’ve always been a fan. Bill and Ted was like a movie made just for me at the time of its release. Middle school metal head. ...and yeah.. he’s never become what people hate in most celebrities. Gotta like Keanu.

Keanu's not necessarily an elite actor - but he IS a movie star. And there is a need for both in cinema.
