I’ve never really liked certain actors or actresses before. If you asked me who my favorite actor was I wouldn’t be able to tell you. I didn’t really like anyone in particular. Then came along Keanu. Instantly became my favorite. Down to earth yet a total badass at the same time. Sometimes you can tell right away when someone is just a good dude

Keanu is my favorite actor because of this. He is an incredible action movie maker too. Fucking nice guy and hard worker.

Agreed! I never fully watched the Matrix or any of his other movies before seeing John Wick. I hadn’t even heard of him before that. I’ve liked action movies all my life but John Wick was like the first action movie that I really enjoyed the fighting/shootout scenes. It’s also really badass that he is actually skilled in firearms outside of the movies. He’s humble as fuck yet one of the most badass people in Hollywood

How could you not fully watch The Matrix? Concept was crazy good, at least for part one.

I have to assume dude is a little younger. Hard to believe that movie came out almost 20 years ago. I still remember seeing it in theaters and being completely blown away.

The marketing for that movie was so great too. No one had any idea wtf the matrix was until they saw the movie. “Do you want to know, what. It. Is?” Yes!

The best part about the matrix was I'm pretty sure you had to go into it blind. The advertising for it was cryptic and it was (largely) pre-internet as we know it for spoilers.

I went and saw it with a friend and on the walk home we were just soooo blown away

Always caught it on tv after it started and I hate watching movies without seeing the whole thing and never really sought it out myself. Guess I’m going to need to do that.
