Yours is perhaps an even better example, but I was thinking of this scene from the second matrix movie:
Either way, I totally agree. I’m Sure it’s tough for even highly skilled actors to share the screen with a master like Hugo Weaving, but for Keanu Reeves, it really serves to highlight how stilted he is. At least for me.
Still seems like a cool guy though and his movies can be fun.
Yeah he’s a truly awful actor. I’m amazed he’s as popular as he is. His real life training to do his own stunts for John Wick is super impressive, and I think the first movie was fine for him since he barely talked, but goddamn, any time he says anything it’s just such a chore to listen to.
The scene in the second matrix movie where Hugo Weaving comes back and confronts him has such an incredible monologue from Hugo Weaving, and then one fucking line from Keanu is just so goddamn stilted it almost ruins the whole scene. Lol
I know someone who works somewhat high up at Apple and he told me another reason was that they really wanted to improve the water proofing.
