I'm sure we are all familiar with keanu reeves, the character that act as Neo in the matrix series. So anyone wanna talk abt him?

I bought this FIRST mag, the moive mag from singapore, and it shows a report on him.
One of the line says,

"The 39 year old actor had suffered the devasting losses of first a still-born daughter and then a year later of girlfriend jennifer in a car accident. The shy, soft spoken actor has never commented on the deaths and had stayed out of the lime light since."

Oh boy, he must have suffered alot, to lost two of his beloved person in jus a year time.
For mi, I definately cannot take it one! :oops:

He's quite a shy guy too! But to think such a thing can happen to his beloved ones. What a pity, or else he would have a happy family now. Some of the things are really not within our control. I do feel sad for him.

I only saw one Matrix movie...but I gotta say he's good. I don't know anything about his personal life...but I feel sad for him, it must be really hard to for him since he lost his beloved ones...:cry:

Hope he'll find someone who'll love him soon....he's 39 already...

You people just noticed him from Matrix? Boy... I feel old. I've "known" him since the 1980s... Anyways, he's still as hot as ever, maybe even hotter now! Do you know he also plays in a band? His old band was called Dogstar and I actually have the album. Now I think he's left the band and joined a new one, but I'm not sure what's the name of that.

Yea...Matrix Revolutions was awesome. He's an okay actor. He did the fighting sequences pretty well. I liked Keanu Reeves the most for his movie "Speed" not the Matrix. Now that's where he looked REALLY GOOD! :love: I like his clean cut look, not the shaggy look with his hair long and beard.

Does anyone know all the names from the matrix series? :rolleyes:

Oh yeah...I find that Keanu Reeves has a sorta Johny Depp look. ><

I agree completely!!!! To me, Keanu was at his best in "Speed"....that was an awesome movie!! And he was smart to turn down Speed 2 too.... :bleh: Matrix Rev opened here yesterday, was actually planning to catch it but an urgent lab report beckoned...
ah well.....will catch it this weekend!

11-06-2003, 10:43 PM
yes! i think the first matrix is "Matrix" then "Matrix Reloaded" then "Matrix Revolutions"!!! do correct me if i'm wrong please~ :)
also, i do think keanu isn't the best actor, but he is HOT!!! and i heard about his losing his loved ones like couple months ago... i think he's hanging there though... he's doing more movies...i think his next movie is the one with jack nicholson in it...a romantic comedy... forgot the name though~ :bleh:

11-07-2003, 12:24 AM
i think he looks ok, but of course, i think Jay looks better. Matrix Revolutions came put yesterday for me. I love the movie Speed, and i the 3 Matrix movies. I am a very big Matrix fan !! Did you guys know that Keanu Reeves is half Chinese???

11-07-2003, 01:16 AM

I thought he was sooooo hot in SPEED, and he still looked good in Matrix. I really didn't like the 2nd Matrix, so I'm still thinking.....about whether or not i should go see Matrix Revolutions...... :angel:

Should I go to the movie to see his handsome face or .....just give it up in case the story line is just as bad as the 2nd one....hmm...it's a hard decision....okok, off topic .....

anyways, i think he's very handsome.....and his figure is great.

Does anyone know all the names from the matrix series?

Oh yeah...I find that Keanu Reeves has a sorta Johny Depp look. ><

I know it's me..

The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and the Matrix Revolutions.

About your second comment, nooooooo wayy!!! Keanu Reeves can be good-looking, but definitely not Johnny Depp style. Johnny Depp is just...... :love: and personally, I think Keanu's acting skill is far beneath Depp's.

So onto the subject of Keanu, I do know some about him, I went through a kind of obsession (not as big as Johnny Depp or Jay though) and "researched"... went to tons of sites.. and all that....... He's pretty good-looking but I have to admit.. his acting isn't the best. You can't really tell in the Matrix series because even his character Neo is a little detached and confused, but you can kinda tell from other movies and from certain parts even during the Matrix series that his acting isn't the best.. ><

I'm not saying that I don't like him, though. Because I do, I just don't think that he has the best acting, even though he's one of the most "popular" movie stars out there right now, and hit it really big with Speed and the Matrix series.

yeah, i think that he played the bass in Dogstar... they were doing a festival gig few years ago in Finland :love:
im so proud that heīs 1/4 chinese!!! (his dad is half hawaian and half chinese) yay!!!
and i think that heīs got the coolest name ever, keanu means "a cool breeze over the mountains" in hawaiian (i dont remember the exact translation... but thatīs the meaning anyway)

I just watched the Matrix Revolutions today (2 days after the release)
and i thought that the movie was absolutely awesome!!! :excited: It's my favorite of the Matrix series... Even i didn't expect it to be that good... Anyway I think Keanu Reeves is a very good actor... Not only in the Matrix Series.. but in many other movies... :) :D

loko
11-07-2003, 01:07 PM
keanu can be too sexy sometimes :)
i think most ppl know his acting is not so great, but he's a good person...i think.

he bought everyone who worked on matrix reloaded a harely davidson right? all the 'little people' like assistants.

my school is across the road from the studios where they filmed the matrix series....*sigh* never saw him, or any of the stars once, but my sister saw laurence fishbourne in a club or sth like that

I heard that Keanu Reeves has a sister who is still suffering from cancer? And..one of the main factor he accepted the role of 'Matrix' is because he needs fiancial support to treat his sister's illness. Is it true? :?

11-07-2003, 07:15 PM
i like him. i think hes a really good person, but i dont know much about him. i think he has a resemblence to chris klein (?) maybe its something klein, the one going out with katie holmes. but keanu is so much sexier. ^-^

ker_ai_teresa
11-08-2003, 05:53 AM
funny...i think Keanu is a good person too. as compared to all those hollywood stars who become strange and self centred after fame and fortune. he seems very down to earth and normal....

my friend once saw him on the streets of sydney when he was down here filming reloaded. when she told me i was like :shock: and :excited: :excited: :excited: !!!!
she was standing right in front of him. he wasn't even mobbed by anyone, only had a couple of police officers with him. wish it was me....i would have been all over him, shamelessly.

i think he looks better in speed tho. he had to go all skinny and pale for matrix.

i didn't like seeing his butt in matrix 2 :cringe:

(sorry for the randomness)

[quote="vunsin"]You people just noticed him from Matrix? Boy... I feel old. I've "known" him since the 1980s...quote]
I first saw him in that movie 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', comparing him to what he looks like now, i can see that he hasn't really aged much, so at the age of 39, he still looks pretty cute and young to me. :love:
I remmeber some news that he gave some million dollars to some workers who worked on da set of 'Matrix Reloaded' i think. And that he lives in a hotel (?). Something like that. Yeah, i think he's a sweet polite gentleman type of guy.
I hope he's doing fine since dealing with death can be a really sad thing.
But yeah, looks like he'll have a good future ahead of him, i'm pretty sure he knows how to handle all the fame and money as well (since he seems to understand that money's not everything.. heard it from somewhere..)

hmmm keanu to me is a really weird and mysterious guy. I heard when filming and it's lunch he would jst sit by himself in his deserted corner... the staff called him to join but he was like no thanx...
So yea, u never know!

11-09-2003, 07:29 AM
ya, I heard that he dun like to be in the lime light, and he does not really toks abt his private life to the media.

I think he has change alot. When i watched matrix reloaded for the first time, I couldn't recognise him at all. Until when I saw the name, I was like, O my, he looks so different from 'speed'. Well, when he shoot 'speed', he looks more fitter and neater too. But now... well, you shld know what I mean!

he is supposed to look thinner and paler in matrix. if you know the story, you'll know that before he was contacted by Morpheus, Neo was a computer freak. besides work, he'd just stay in his apartment and fiddle with his computer. that's why he's pale. Neo wasn't supposed to be an outdoorsie person. you could even call the character a recluse.

but yeah, he definitely looks diff from when he was in speed...but still sexy.... :brows:

Cloudy--> about the butt thing, i totally agree....that scene just put me off the film...i was like, get on with the story! i wanna see some fighting and special effects!! :laughing:

Matrix 3 was ok. I wasn't blown away. Keanu is pretty good looking, but getting kind of old...I think "mixed" children are very good looking in general =)

11-09-2003, 02:39 PM
I think Keanu is HOT in that long black coat he wears. Everytime I see him in it, I just want to scream like a little fan girl. He is soooo hot on that outfit.

btw, someone close to him died a few years ago in a car accident, and now his sister is suffering from luekemia I heard. I also heard he wants to quit the movies because he wants to take care of his sister. Poor guy. But he did make around 300 million for Matrix 3 (I heard).

11-09-2003, 02:54 PM
keanu reeves is a good actor but in this super cool movie matrix i think they don't need acting skills a lot to give a 'cool' effect

i have yet to watch this movie so i ddin't read any of your posts in case u talked about the storyline and the ending.. :glug:

Maybe you should watch the movie and THEN contribute.

Poor guy, dunno what would become of him if his sister xxxx....
does he have other relatives or family members too??

But he did make around 300 million for Matrix 3 (I heard).

What currency!??!?! You can't mean USD!!!!
Wait, are u talking about his take home pay? Or do u mean that Matrix 3 took in 300 million??? Thats not too possible either, is it? Since it opened barely a week ago....

Well I watched all 3, and I must say I do like them....AND you guys should try to get hold of ani-matrix too, its pretty cool and gives a more complete story :)

Matrix 3 wasn't that bad....I actually quite liked it. I went into the theatre, with the attitude of "watching it for the sake of watching it" coz i've heard so many bad things about it, both from the reviews as well as friends dissing it. So I guess it had the effect of me expecting it to be the worst thing ever (but i just HAD to finish the series) so i ended up liking it. Its not a crap ending, I think it worked out. THats not to say I understand everything, all the insinuations and whatnot, but its a good enough ending for me :angel:

$300 million for Matrix 3?! :glug: That sounds so impossible, wasn't Julia Roberts the highest paid woman actress and she got $20 million? Man.. And there's people starving all over the world..

ker_ai_teresa
11-12-2003, 07:44 AM
hmm...i don't think he was paid $300 mil either. perhaps the film grossed that much at the box office but not him alone.

cameron diaz is the highest paid actress this year according to Guiness WR. she got paid $42.2 mil in 2001...dunno know whether that's per film or the total she earned in that year...i think the total.

and adam sandler is currently the highest paid male actor with 49.5 mil.

however, i don't think this means that they are necessarily the highest paid per film...it prolly just means they made more movies than other actors.

i wonder why actors get paid so much??? :?

xian186

No ideas... But then they have to pay the price for being famous too.
Keanu reeves is one of them. And Jay too. :dry:

keanu reeves is a pretty good actor...
matrix was good...the second one i just didn't understand at all...

OMG i love to see all Keanu's movies. from A Walk to Remember..till now Matrix.
I think he's really a good actor and CUTE for sure.
Matrix is great. Can't wait to see Matrix Revolution cos it still playing midnight in my country. So i have to be patient for a couple of days. I heard that Neo and Trinity are going to dead at this final chapter. is it true?

xian186
11-15-2003, 06:30 PM
yes, trinity died when on their way to the machine world?, and neo die when try to save zion. i think its bette that you see the movie for yourself!

THats not to say I understand everything, all the insinuations and whatnot, but its a good enough ending for me :angel:

yeah... I'm suprised at the bad review Revolutions got! Hardly any of my friends like it... perhaps it's the sad ending. Us movie-goers are just so used to happy, sappy endings, anything otherwise doesn't sit well with us. That's my theory anyways. :happy: I admit, right after i finished revs I was really bewildered. I kept expecting Trinity to somehow resurrect you know? But I realized that this was the only way it could've ended. Neo's life is based loosely on the life of Jesus, and in order to save humankind he had to die for them. And of course, if he dies Trinity must as well, for think of how much sadder it'd be if one of them survived without the other!

Ok ok I'm getting off topic here... Keanu-hotness discussion, anyone? :D

As much as I love him, I won't deny that I think his acting skills aren't superb... at all. :sweat: After becoming addicted to him in the matrix, I got a hold of some of his other movies, and realized that HE CAN'T ACT! Agree? Yes? No? He's good at the action bits, but his lines sound monotonous to me... So then why do I adore him so, you ask? I guess you could say I like him as a person. He's generous (gave each stuntman in the matrix a motorcycle), extremely well-learned, and passionate about his work and about improving. Oh and plus, he's just really hot.

mixture of different nationalities riiight....??

Someone mentioned that he was a quarter Chinese in the first page, and I had read that somewhere as well. However, in an interview he said that he considered himself just a white boy. No big deal I suppose, though was still a little disappointed.

The guy in "Once a time in Mexico" (the name keeps reminding me of those Jet Li movies) is also part Asian, though not much, Jonny Depp perhaps? Don't remember the name.

Keanu is part asian, although i'm not sure what type of asian...i don't think it's chinese tho...

yes, i think you mean Johnny Depp. this is off topic, but to answer your queries, he is part Cherokee Indian.

12-22-2003, 06:28 PM

OMG...i cant believe i havent posted here before...

Keanu was my first bf ever...i feel so old to admit this but ive loved him since Pointbreak....gosh...that was ages ago...some of you may have been in diapers then...he was sooooo handsome...

i think he was born in lebanon or sumthin...but he has a bit of an asian or exotic look about him...

i loved him in somethins gotta give...not that much in the matrix sequels...Matrix 1 was good...

and who could forget A Walk in the Clouds...(keanu trying to be a matinee/romantic comedy actor) and of course, duh...sweet november....
