00:00:01,859 --> 00:00:03,774
- Keanu! - Keanu, Keanu!

(static music)

5
00:00:04,710 --> 00:00:06,288
- [Speaker] Either that or
he's a real good double gigger.

6
00:00:06,330 --> 00:00:07,533
Isn't that Keanu Reeves?

8
00:00:08,558 --> 00:00:10,410
[Speaker] Well, it looks like him.

9
00:00:10,452 --> 00:00:11,503
[Speaker] Well...

10
00:00:11,545 --> 00:00:14,208
(upbeat music)

11
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:15,648
Very early on in his career,

12
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:19,458
Keanu Reeves told reporters
that his name Keanu meant...

13
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:21,798
Cool breeze over the mountains.

14
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,840
- It is a kind of perfect
summation of who he is as a star,

15
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:28,158
not just on screen,

16
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,819
but in terms of what we
know about him as a person.

17
00:00:31,861 --> 00:00:32,902
(fans cheering)

18
00:00:32,944 --> 00:00:35,423
You are breathtaking! (audience cheering)

19
00:00:35,465 --> 00:00:38,044
You are all breathtaking!
(audience cheering)

20
00:00:38,086 --> 00:00:40,128
(static music) I have been a part of

21
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:43,102
some films that have been embraced,

22
00:00:43,144 --> 00:00:45,048
(funky music)

23
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:46,497
and I'm very grateful.

24
00:00:46,539 --> 00:00:48,849
(upbeat music)

25
00:00:48,891 --> 00:00:49,682
[Interviewer] As an actor,

26
00:00:49,724 --> 00:00:51,948
you're essentially living behind a mask.

27
00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:53,161
Right.

28
00:00:53,203 --> 00:00:54,857
Comedy and tragedy.

29
00:00:54,899 --> 00:00:57,482
(upbeat music)

30
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,528
He took some solace in science fiction,

31
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:11,988
reading, and in comic books,

32
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,308
which is really interesting when you think

33
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:15,498
about the trajectory of his career

34
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:18,198
and the kinds of films he ended up making.

35
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,498
- He was a private
child who struggled a lot

36
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:23,508
due to dyslexia, which is something

37
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:26,118
that he has been quite forthcoming about,

38
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,428
and how that struggle impacted him.

39
00:01:28,470 --> 00:01:31,278
Didn't really have any interest in acting

40
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,408
until the influence of his stepfather

41
00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:36,108
really gave him that kind of bug.

42
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:38,058
- Keanu has a really
interesting background,

43
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,328
in that he was born in Beirut, in Lebanon

44
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:43,578
when his parents were living there.

45
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:45,288
His mother was English,

46
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:48,798
his father was a mix of ethnicities,

47
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,843
including Hawaiian, hence
his Hawaiian name, Keanu.

48
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:55,008
[Hannah] His mother was working in Beirut

49
00:01:55,050 --> 00:01:57,138
where she met his father,

50
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:00,888
but they did split up when Keanu was three.

51
00:02:00,930 --> 00:02:03,528
So he didn't really have a
relationship with his dad,

52
00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:05,388
he didn't even really meet him properly

53
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:07,053
until he was about 13.

54
00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:08,988
(somber music)

55
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:10,845
- [Narrator] Art had become
a pivotal aspect for Keanu

56
00:02:10,887 --> 00:02:12,858
and his sister, Kim,

57
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,686
who were entranced
by fiction and film alike.

58
00:02:15,728 --> 00:02:16,638
(upbeat music)

59
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,168
Growing up in the 70s,

60
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:19,938
there was no lack of incredible films

61
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:21,801
for the siblings to watch.

62
00:02:21,843 --> 00:02:24,426
(upbeat music)

63
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,158
- Later on he said that
when he was growing up,

64
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,878
he could only imagine that
he would go to Hollywood.

65
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,158
His goal was always to go to Hollywood

66
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,858
because the films he watched as a kid

67
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:37,938
were made in Hollywood,

68
00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:40,998
and he understood that he
wanted to be part of that world.

69
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,368
So Keanu's stepdad was Paul Aaron,

70
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:47,148
who was a Hollywood
director and Broadway producer.

71
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:51,108
Paul Aaron was very supportive
of Keanu's interest in acting

72
00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:55,218
and eventually would
recommend him for a job

73
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,198
at the Hedgerow Theatre in Pennsylvania

74
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,978
where he would spend some
time working as an apprentice

75
00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:05,238
and assisting and kind of
living there and helping out.

76
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,698
- [Narrator] Keanu grew into
the definition of a hotshot,

77
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:09,153
high-octane teen.

78
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:13,038
His stage performances
during his years of education

79
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,828
placed him in a handful of short films.

80
00:03:15,870 --> 00:03:17,448
It wasn't long before he found himself

81
00:03:17,490 --> 00:03:19,068
starring in commercials

82
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:22,578
and eventually in "Hangin'
In", a Canadian sitcom.

83
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:24,558
Hey, where do you keep the towels?

84
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,955
Pete said we could use the shower.

85
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:28,398
(speaker chuckles) -
Oh, Peter put you in here.

86
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,357
Yeah, you rescued us. (speakers laughing)

87
00:03:31,399 --> 00:03:32,418
Ah!

88
00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:34,068
Where did he find you?

89
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:36,948
- Reeves worked for the
Canadian Broadcasting company

90
00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:38,988
when he was a teenager,

91
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:42,528
for the youth news program "Going Great."

92
00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:45,978
He starred in a few
different American shows

93
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:47,298
when he first moved to Hollywood,

94
00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:50,358
including "Babes in Toyland"
and "Brotherhood of Justice"

95
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,063
before he was able to
get his first big film role.

96
00:03:54,105 --> 00:03:55,578
(upbeat music)

97
00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:56,568
[Narrator] Hockey has always been

98
00:03:56,610 --> 00:03:58,518
a massive part of Keanu's life.

99
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,278
After his move to Toronto,
Keanu took up the sport,

100
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,468
which served him in more ways than one.

101
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:05,838
It was a huge asset
when Keanu landed a role

102
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,483
in his first feature film.

103
00:04:07,525 --> 00:04:08,628
(upbeat music)

104
00:04:08,670 --> 00:04:11,508
The movement of his body
complemented his more outlandish

105
00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:13,488
and extreme roles.

106
00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:16,878
He showed promise whilst
playing as Heaver, a goalkeeper,

107
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,964
in the lighthearted sports
feature "Youngblood."

108
00:04:20,006 --> 00:04:21,378
(upbeat music)

109
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:24,018
Even if the film was a little formulaic,

110
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:25,488
it gave Keanu an opportunity

111
00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:27,525
to experience a larger film set.

112
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:30,234
(upbeat music)

113
00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:33,978
- I'm playing a 17-year-old body

114
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:35,958
with a 40-year-old mind, okay?

115
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,878
But then I had to play
with my conception of 40,

116
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,438
which was sort of older, right?

117
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,978
You look at a 40-year-old
and go, "You're old",

118
00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:43,458
but he's not. (laughs) - It sounds like

119
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,988
a juicy, challenging role,

120
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:46,518
and it's good that you got this one.

121
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,418
- Yes. - And we look forward

122
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:48,378
to seeing you in another things,

123
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:50,328
and thank you very much. - Oh, thank you.

124
00:04:50,370 --> 00:04:51,588
- You're welcome. - (chuckles) Bye!

125
00:04:51,630 --> 00:04:54,068
- So I think that definitely
having Paul Aaron

126
00:04:54,110 --> 00:04:57,258
as kind of a figure in his life,

127
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:59,178
that even after he divorced,

128
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:01,248
Keanu's mother was
still there to support him

129
00:05:01,290 --> 00:05:03,078
and help him get a green card

130
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,998
to start his journey in Los Angeles,

131
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,818
must have played a kind
of significant role to him

132
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:10,158
in influencing and shaping that desire.

133
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,708
He was also advised to change his name

134
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:14,688
because Keanu sounded too ethnic,

135
00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:16,128
which he briefly considered,

136
00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:18,738
but ultimately decided wasn't quite right.

137
00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:20,688
And I think it's a great decision

138
00:05:20,730 --> 00:05:24,108
because now his name has
become almost anonymous.

139
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:27,468
You say Keanu, everyone
knows who you're talking about.

140
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:29,658
[Mark] He's in a kind of stoner drama

141
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:33,738
called "River's Edge", about
teenagers involved in a murder.

142
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:36,768
It's this really underrated cult movie.

143
00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:38,658
- [Narrator] River's Edge"
was a curious project

144
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:41,658
because in the time of 80s
lighthearted teen fiction,

145
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:44,778
it stood out as one of
the grungier, darker pieces.

146
00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:48,078
It offered Keanu a chance to
approach a more serious role.

147
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,118
Whilst the actor was still up and coming,

148
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,218
it served as an opportunity to carry a role

149
00:05:52,260 --> 00:05:54,063
with heavy thematic undertones.

150
00:05:55,770 --> 00:05:59,595
- The film shows the kind
of malaise of this community

151
00:05:59,637 --> 00:06:02,868
and how the teenagers have to come to terms

152
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:06,408
with this incredibly harrowing situation.

153
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:09,588
And Keanu was praised quite roundly

154
00:06:09,630 --> 00:06:12,138
for his performance as
Matt, who is one of the,

155
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:14,418
I'd say, darker characters within it.

156
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:16,788
He kind of struggles a
lot with the situation.

157
00:06:16,830 --> 00:06:17,621
Come on!

158
00:06:17,663 --> 00:06:19,458
You finked on John!

159
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,478
I'm your brother.

160
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,196
Where do my children go at night?

161
00:06:22,238 --> 00:06:23,598
(car honking)

162
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,628
- His performance was
regarded as a real breakout

163
00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:28,488
by people like "The New York Times."

164
00:06:28,530 --> 00:06:30,078
Everyone was kind of amazed

165
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,378
that this presence had
kind of come outta nowhere.

166
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:36,108
I think he was really able

167
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:38,358
quite early on to establish himself

168
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,538
as quite a distinctive figure in acting

169
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:45,535
who was someone definitely
worth keeping an eye on.

170
00:06:45,577 --> 00:06:46,788
[Narrator] "Permanent Record",

171
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:49,278
a more underrated feature had Keanu play

172
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,277
as Chris Townsend. - Or anybody.

173
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,148
(upbeat music)

174
00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:54,611
I don't know if I did the right thing.

175
00:06:54,653 --> 00:06:57,078
(upbeat music)

176
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,508
- [Narrator] After the
passing of his closest friend,

177
00:06:59,550 --> 00:07:02,868
Keanu's upbeat character
changes drastically.

178
00:07:02,910 --> 00:07:05,778
The film depicts grief
in a very unique way,

179
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:08,478
having sharing the experience
between a range of characters

180
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,328
of which Keanu seemingly has to manage.

181
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:14,508
- He also in the late
80s has a co-starring role

182
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:17,028
in "Dangerous Liaisons", a costume drama,

183
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:20,817
in which one might say
he's just a little bit miscast.

184
00:07:20,859 --> 00:07:22,609
(static music)

185
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:23,898
(upbeat music)

186
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:27,475
So he makes his really big breakthrough in

187
00:07:27,517 --> 00:07:30,048
"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure",

188
00:07:30,090 --> 00:07:31,638
a really distinctive film,

189
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,761
and one that seems perfectly suited to him.

190
00:07:34,803 --> 00:07:37,068
It's really what made him a star

191
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:39,618
more than any other film
he'd done to that point.

192
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:41,238
But "Bill & Ted's Excellent
Adventure" is a film

193
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,338
about two high school students

194
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,348
who have to create a history paper,

195
00:07:45,390 --> 00:07:47,988
and somehow they managed
to travel through time

196
00:07:48,030 --> 00:07:49,248
to meet some of the characters

197
00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:52,008
they need to write about in their paper.

198
00:07:52,050 --> 00:07:56,118
It's just a wonderful
wide-eyed adventure story.

199
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,081
Let's go back into history.

200
00:07:58,123 --> 00:07:59,598
(upbeat music)

201
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,558
- I think that this was due
to it being this really big,

202
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,858
silly, fun movie, which took something

203
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,198
that people already kind
of were seeing a lot of

204
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,168
in this time travel adventure movie genre

205
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:14,868
that developed with something
like "Back to the Future."

206
00:08:14,910 --> 00:08:18,948
It combined it with this
kind of new era, shall we say,

207
00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:21,678
of kind of stoner comedies,
which were very silly

208
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,368
and just presented themselves as

209
00:08:25,410 --> 00:08:28,248
not taking film too seriously.

210
00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:30,798
- What makes it really
memorable and remarkable is

211
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,638
that it's a film about
teenage male friendship

212
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:39,680
that is utterly without
aggression or malice.

213
00:08:40,470 --> 00:08:42,369
They're just good friends.

214
00:08:42,411 --> 00:08:45,411
(chuckles) They get along
really well, they help each other.

215
00:08:46,424 --> 00:08:47,611
(glass shattering)

216
00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:48,828
- Excellent! - Excellent!

217
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:51,438
And they do have an excellent adventure.

218
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,658
So it's a really sweet film,

219
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,178
maybe even slightly educational film,

220
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:59,208
given that you get to meet
Socrates and Abraham Lincoln,

221
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:04,068
a film that established him
in his wide-eyed capacity.

222
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:05,928
His big phrase in the film is...

223
00:09:05,970 --> 00:09:07,368
- Wow! - Ah!

224
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:09,858
- There's a sense in
which everything is new

225
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:14,900
and exciting and appealing
to this rather sweet,

226
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:17,838
not entirely bright teenage boy.

227
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,988
- The film was really
well received by critics,

228
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:24,438
and made a surprising return
on the box office investment,

229
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,348
and has become known
now as one of the kind of

230
00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:29,688
best sci-fi movies around

231
00:09:29,730 --> 00:09:31,488
because it just takes the genre,

232
00:09:31,530 --> 00:09:34,488
which sometimes I think
can feel quite serious,

233
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:37,038
and plays with it and has fun with it.

234
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,848
It's really known as a defining presence

235
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:42,678
within Keanu's filmography.

236
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,988
There's an element of nostalgia

237
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:47,058
to "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure."

238
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:50,148
Like you can't, I imagine if
you watched as a teenager,

239
00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:52,578
you simply identify with Bill and Ted;

240
00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:54,828
but if you watch it as an adult,

241
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:57,978
you kind of look back to teenage years

242
00:09:58,020 --> 00:10:00,408
and the kinds of adventures
and the kinds of friendships

243
00:10:00,450 --> 00:10:03,348
that you had at that time in your life.

244
00:10:03,390 --> 00:10:06,948
So I think it's a perfect
film for nostalgia,

245
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:11,388
it's a perfect series to stay
in the hearts of audiences

246
00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:13,368
because of that nostalgia factor

247
00:10:13,410 --> 00:10:16,488
and that idea that one would
always like to look back on

248
00:10:16,530 --> 00:10:17,985
those sorts of friendships

249
00:10:18,027 --> 00:10:22,008
and that period in your life
for the kind of excitement

250
00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:24,639
that it has in the film.

251
00:10:24,681 --> 00:10:27,319
(camera snapping photo)

252
00:10:27,361 --> 00:10:28,277
- Keanu! - Keanu!

253
00:10:28,319 --> 00:10:29,377
(speaker mumbles)

254
00:10:29,419 --> 00:10:30,888
- Keanu, Keanu! - Keanu!

255
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,778
- [Narrator] The phenomenon
that was Bill and Ted

256
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:35,358
made Keanu Reeves a household name.

257
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,548
Keanu makes an effort to form relationships

258
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:40,180
with his co-starring actors
and set professionals.

259
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:41,928
(upbeat music)

260
00:10:41,970 --> 00:10:44,575
His friendship with
River Phoenix stood out in

261
00:10:44,617 --> 00:10:46,428
"I Love You to Death."

262
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:47,370
What do you say?

263
00:10:48,536 --> 00:10:51,203
(upbeat music)

264
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:54,948
- [Narrator] The black
comedy propelled both Keanu

265
00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:57,903
and River to the next stages
of their blossoming careers.

266
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,473
Oops!

267
00:11:01,387 --> 00:11:02,178
(upbeat music)

268
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:03,811
- [Speaker] I have a feeling
we're about to embark upon

269
00:11:03,853 --> 00:11:06,378
a most unprecedented expedition.

270
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:07,458
[Narrator] Bill and Ted returned

271
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:08,898
once again for the sequel.

272
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:10,248
There's a lot of deliberation

273
00:11:10,290 --> 00:11:12,378
as to which film people prefer.

274
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:14,748
The battle with death
remains an iconic scene

275
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:16,278
in anyone's eyes.

276
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,468
To many it was a clever spin on

277
00:11:18,510 --> 00:11:21,558
Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal",

278
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,468
with less chess and
more Bill and Ted antics.

279
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:26,977
[Speaker] Bill and Ted are dead.

280
00:11:27,019 --> 00:11:28,818
(Bill and Ted screaming)

281
00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:30,858
- [Narrator] Keanu
having developed a passion

282
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,873
for composing music
decided to start a band.

283
00:11:35,187 --> 00:11:36,345
Dogstar.

284
00:11:36,387 --> 00:11:37,678
(static music)

285
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,768
(upbeat music)

286
00:11:39,810 --> 00:11:43,158
- [Narrator] Dogstar consisted
of drummer, Robert Mailhouse,

287
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,183
who Keanu met at Gelson's supermarket.

288
00:11:46,110 --> 00:11:47,688
Bret Domrose was on guitar,

289
00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:49,968
and Keanu Reeves on bass and shared vocals.

290
00:11:50,010 --> 00:11:51,718
So that was kind of dumb, bro,

291
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,157
just happy to be here.

292
00:11:53,199 --> 00:11:54,212
[Speaker] Please.

293
00:11:54,254 --> 00:11:57,254
(upbeat rock music)

294
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:07,608
[Speaker] Keanu, rock stars becoming

295
00:12:07,650 --> 00:12:08,962
movie stars all the time.

296
00:12:09,004 --> 00:12:09,845
How does it feel to be a movie star

297
00:12:09,887 --> 00:12:12,648
who is becoming a rock star
who has a passion for music?

298
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:13,818
Well, I have a passion for music.

299
00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:16,398
I don't think myself or the band "Dogstar"

300
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,888
have quite reached the
heights of rock stardom,

301
00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:21,738
but it's been really
fun playing in the band

302
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:22,908
over the past six years,

303
00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:26,208
and hopefully we can continue
to make records and play,

304
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:27,438
and play live and stuff.

305
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,474
- [Speaker] Does Dogstar
afford you peace and security?

306
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:31,428
(Keanu laughing) (interviewer chuckles)

307
00:12:31,470 --> 00:12:33,288
Does rock afford me peace and security?

308
00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:35,328
Absolutely not. (interviewer laughing)

309
00:12:35,370 --> 00:12:37,638
No, but it's really fun, man.

310
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,018
It's really fun to write,

311
00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:41,388
and the fraternity with my band members,

312
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:43,908
and like traveling when we can,

313
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:47,358
and doing rock shows is a lot of fun.

314
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,548
- [Narrator] Keanu and River
Phoenix returned in a feature

315
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:53,568
the following year, breaking
out of the teen fiction rut,

316
00:12:53,610 --> 00:12:55,563
and taking on a serious narrative.

317
00:12:56,604 --> 00:12:58,071
(upbeat music)

318
00:12:58,113 --> 00:12:58,904
[Speaker] I always know where I am

319
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,468
by the way the road looks.

320
00:13:00,510 --> 00:13:02,164
Like I just know that
I've been here before.

321
00:13:02,206 --> 00:13:02,997
♪ The cattle are prowlin' ♪

322
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:04,628
I just know that I've been stuck here.

323
00:13:04,670 --> 00:13:06,061
♪ The coyotes are howlin' ♪

324
00:13:06,103 --> 00:13:09,708
- So "My Own Private
Idaho" was Gus Van Sant's

325
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:11,928
take on Shakespeare's Henry ad,

326
00:13:11,970 --> 00:13:15,858
which is a series of historical plays.

327
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:17,178
Isn't that right, Mike?

328
00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:18,011
What do you care about money?

329
00:13:18,053 --> 00:13:19,308
You got plenty of money.

330
00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:20,928
Actually, Mike is right,

331
00:13:20,970 --> 00:13:23,748
I am going to inherit
money, a lot of money.

332
00:13:23,790 --> 00:13:26,298
It took quite loose inspiration

333
00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:29,658
following these two young street hustlers

334
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:32,988
played by River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves,

335
00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:36,198
who go on this journey
across the United States

336
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,240
and to Italy in search of Mike's mother.

337
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:44,748
It's not only considered one
of Gus Van Sant's best films,

338
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:49,098
but it's become a very pivotal queer film.

339
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:51,895
So "My Own Private Idaho" was as far from

340
00:13:51,937 --> 00:13:55,158
"Bill & Ted's Excellent
Adventure" as you could get.

341
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,448
- And it's definitely one of
the most heartbreaking films

342
00:13:59,490 --> 00:14:01,458
of the kind of 90s,

343
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,738
and definitely for Keanu I think

344
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:08,238
establishes him as this sort
of unknowable screen presence.

345
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,266
Obscure, enigmatic film.

346
00:14:11,308 --> 00:14:14,358
Quite difficult to know
what's going on all the time

347
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,368
that it has its surreal moments.

348
00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:19,668
And I think it was Keanu
Reeves' signal to the audience

349
00:14:19,710 --> 00:14:21,138
that he was not going to be pigeonholed,

350
00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:24,168
and he wasn't gonna be
caught in that kind of role.

351
00:14:24,210 --> 00:14:27,603
It was an arthouse film,
and it was an arthouse hit.

352
00:14:28,507 --> 00:14:29,898
[Narrator] "My Own Private Idaho"

353
00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:32,248
is a unique introspective film.

354
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:33,081
(somber music)

355
00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:36,228
Keanu and River's
performances were exceptional.

356
00:14:36,270 --> 00:14:39,618
The two men shared a rare
bond during its production,

357
00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:41,748
a bond which bled into their performances

358
00:14:41,790 --> 00:14:45,108
and solidified the feature
as a cultural milestone.

359
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:47,971
Thanks to its themes and raw messaging.

360
00:14:48,013 --> 00:14:49,338
(somber music)

361
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:52,008
Audiences wondered when
Keanu might return to the screen

362
00:14:52,050 --> 00:14:53,358
with River Phoenix.

363
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,658
Their chemistry had left a
lasting impact on viewers.

364
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:59,358
The two young actors
seemingly had no limits,

365
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,978
they shared great potential.

366
00:15:01,020 --> 00:15:03,603
The world, however, had other plans.

367
00:15:04,717 --> 00:15:06,618
"My Own Private Idaho" served as

368
00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:09,168
one of River Phoenix's last films

369
00:15:09,210 --> 00:15:11,343
before he passed at the age of 23.

370
00:15:12,486 --> 00:15:14,628
(somber music)

371
00:15:14,670 --> 00:15:17,388
Keanu, like many, was devastated

372
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:19,488
at the loss of this incredibly talented

373
00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:20,913
and beloved presence.

374
00:15:22,331 --> 00:15:24,078
(melancholy music)

375
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,358
As the young actor's career flourished,

376
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,775
criticism of his acting became prominent.

377
00:15:28,817 --> 00:15:31,548
(somber music)

378
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:32,778
There've been some pretty harsh

379
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:34,728
criticisms directed at him,

380
00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:37,578
particularly regarding his role in Dracula.

381
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:39,228
With Francis Ford Coppola,

382
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:43,128
a costume drama set
in 19th century England,

383
00:15:43,170 --> 00:15:46,278
and he seems wholly out of place.

384
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,798
Of course, sir, I'll attend to the count.

385
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,088
Thank you for your confidence.

386
00:15:50,130 --> 00:15:53,838
- I think people who criticize
Keanu Reeves as an actor

387
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,928
have a rather snobbish idea of acting

388
00:15:56,970 --> 00:15:59,598
that's linked to the stage tradition,

389
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,358
and that's linked to dialogue,

390
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,808
and to an actor reciting dialogue on stage.

391
00:16:05,850 --> 00:16:07,848
That is not what Keanu Reeves does.

392
00:16:07,890 --> 00:16:09,618
I mean, I'll be the first to admit that,

393
00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:11,043
that's not his forte.

394
00:16:11,085 --> 00:16:13,668
(upbeat music)

395
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,238
[Hannah] For me it's just a very

396
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,188
distinctive style of performance,

397
00:16:19,230 --> 00:16:23,118
it's a very reserved style
where he withholds a lot,

398
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,718
and he's very subtle in his
movements and his delivery.

399
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,138
- He has a kind of intensity
as a screen presence

400
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:33,018
that I don't think many critics

401
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:36,378
or award giving bodies
have been willing to note.

402
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:38,480
He hasn't been treated
particularly generously.

403
00:16:38,522 --> 00:16:39,313
(upbeat music)

404
00:16:39,355 --> 00:16:41,208
- [Narrator] To search
for his artistic voice,

405
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:44,208
Keanu delved into any
type of film imaginable,

406
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:47,335
returning to the comedy genre
with "Much Ado About Nothing",

407
00:16:47,377 --> 00:16:50,538
"Even Cowgirls Get the
Blues", and "Freaked",

408
00:16:50,580 --> 00:16:53,628
an experimental picture
co-directed by his good friend,

409
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:57,258
Alex Winter, in which Alex also starred.

410
00:16:57,300 --> 00:16:59,358
- [Speaker] Did the
language ever intimidate?

411
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,498
You mean English?

412
00:17:00,540 --> 00:17:03,078
No. (speakers laughing)

413
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,118
Most of the play is in verse,

414
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,043
I'm sorry, in prose.

415
00:17:11,643 --> 00:17:14,118
So it's a welcome challenge.

416
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,735
- [Narrator] The strange
casting decisions continued.

417
00:17:16,777 --> 00:17:20,238
"Little Buddha" stood out
as a rogue edition for Keanu,

418
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,808
who plays as the reincarnation
of Siddhartha Gautama.

419
00:17:23,850 --> 00:17:25,788
I play Prince Siddhartha,

420
00:17:25,830 --> 00:17:29,838
an emotional fable myth
aspect interpretation.

421
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,168
Buddhism is very specific
with the psychological,

422
00:17:33,210 --> 00:17:35,448
emotional declension, I guess.

423
00:17:35,490 --> 00:17:37,158
So I guess studying that comes

424
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,328
in emancipation from emotions

425
00:17:41,370 --> 00:17:45,468
and realizing more of what
phenomenal existence is,

426
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:47,298
and through that practice

427
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:49,333
comes perhaps compassionism.

428
00:17:49,375 --> 00:17:50,166
(somber music)

429
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:53,298
In the 1980s and into the 1990s,

430
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:58,068
action stars tended to be
figures like Sylvester Stallone

431
00:17:58,110 --> 00:18:00,528
and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

432
00:18:00,570 --> 00:18:04,248
That is really powerful, really macho,

433
00:18:04,290 --> 00:18:07,921
seemingly none too bright men

434
00:18:07,963 --> 00:18:09,558
of power and action.

435
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,568
Keanu Reeves helped to bring in

436
00:18:11,610 --> 00:18:13,528
this new age of action stars

437
00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:16,758
where you didn't have to be the biggest,

438
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,168
the most ripped person on
the planet to be a credible lead.

439
00:18:21,210 --> 00:18:23,718
Keanu Reeves really signals a change

440
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,308
with "Speed" particularly,

441
00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:27,798
in terms of turning him
into a kind of action hero,

442
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,928
but I think it's also a point

443
00:18:29,970 --> 00:18:32,223
at which he redefines the action hero.

444
00:18:33,060 --> 00:18:35,898
When I find you... Pop quiz, hotshot,

445
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,347
there's a bomb on a bus.

446
00:18:37,389 --> 00:18:38,598
(intense violin music)

447
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,798
Once the bus goes 50 miles
an hour, bomb is armed.

448
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,433
If it drops below 50,

449
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:47,238
it blows up.

450
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,338
- Sandra Bullock is behind
the wheel of the bus,

451
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:51,798
Keanu Reeves is trying to save the bus.

452
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,138
It's this crazy action thriller,

453
00:18:54,180 --> 00:18:57,888
as fast-paced and exciting as they come,

454
00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:01,368
in which he plays a kind
of heroic action man.

455
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:03,408
I can't think of anything more different

456
00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:05,598
from Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (chuckles)

457
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,728
or "My Own Private Idaho."

458
00:19:07,770 --> 00:19:10,038
It's really a different
kind of role for him,

459
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,098
and he absolutely owns it.

460
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:17,728
He becomes this man of
steel, this man of action,

461
00:19:17,770 --> 00:19:20,688
and it really redefines his career.

462
00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:22,248
Yeah, the title "Speed"

463
00:19:22,290 --> 00:19:24,121
and then the situations
that the character got into.

464
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:27,144
I mean, it was an opportunity
to play I thought a good man

465
00:19:27,186 --> 00:19:29,298
and to have fun.

466
00:19:29,340 --> 00:19:31,698
I was looking for work, it came around,

467
00:19:31,740 --> 00:19:34,073
and I got the opportunity to play in it,

468
00:19:37,883 --> 00:19:40,038
and I'm so lucky to be
able to participate in

469
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,988
such a fantasy and to hopefully entertain.

470
00:19:42,030 --> 00:19:42,918
[Speaker] Right.

471
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,078
- I think it's just nobody
expected anything,

472
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,312
and they got a lot more
than they didn't expected.

473
00:19:47,354 --> 00:19:48,305
(Sandra chuckles) - It is true.

474
00:19:48,347 --> 00:19:49,376
It's just hype,

475
00:19:49,418 --> 00:19:50,538
I don't play into it. (speaker laughs)

476
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:52,308
You have a good time, you
hope something does well,

477
00:19:52,350 --> 00:19:54,238
and, well, it does, (mumbles)

478
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,054
And I hope it does well
for Keanu and Jan and-

479
00:19:57,096 --> 00:19:59,208
- Right. - Dennis and...

480
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:03,288
- He turns it into something
that's more intelligent

481
00:20:03,330 --> 00:20:05,118
with a bit of emotional depth.

482
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,758
So he redefines the action hero

483
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,878
and makes him just a
little bit more vulnerable,

484
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,118
even though he has that
sort of power and energy

485
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,563
that all action heroes have.

486
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,551
Keanu!

487
00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:20,898
(fans mumbling)

488
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:22,638
The nature of acting in an action picture

489
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,307
is very much in a sense of play.

490
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:26,211
- I really think it's play.
- Did you actually put

491
00:20:26,253 --> 00:20:27,919
yourself at any risk or-

492
00:20:27,961 --> 00:20:32,498
- Even the dramatics part
of it, it's really in of itself.

493
00:20:32,540 --> 00:20:34,113
It's a good part of it.

494
00:20:35,790 --> 00:20:37,038
[Narrator] Keanu proved himself

495
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,648
as a formidable action star in "Speed",

496
00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:43,518
he followed suit with
"Johnny Mnemonic" in 1995.

497
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,218
To many this sci-fi thriller was thought as

498
00:20:46,260 --> 00:20:48,869
the foundation for the
next steps in Keanu's journey.

499
00:20:48,911 --> 00:20:49,702
(somber music)

500
00:20:49,744 --> 00:20:51,408
The inclusion of cyberpunk elements

501
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:53,328
drove people to believe
that this was a world

502
00:20:53,370 --> 00:20:55,758
in which the actor seemed comfortable in,

503
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,198
though awards would have one believe

504
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,158
that Keanu remained a blank slate.

505
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,338
(somber music)

506
00:21:01,380 --> 00:21:03,678
Keanu's name has sprung up a fair few times

507
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,448
in the Raspberry Awards.

508
00:21:05,490 --> 00:21:08,328
Many continued to
undermine his acting abilities,

509
00:21:08,370 --> 00:21:09,738
whilst others saw him as merely

510
00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:12,108
having his own unique methodology,

511
00:21:12,150 --> 00:21:13,428
which greatly separated him

512
00:21:13,470 --> 00:21:15,163
from the traditional acting world.

513
00:21:15,205 --> 00:21:16,848
(somber music)

514
00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:18,055
In the same year,

515
00:21:18,097 --> 00:21:20,838
"A Walk in the Clouds"
stood out as a unique project,

516
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,718
being an unconventional period romance.

517
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,578
Despite family traditions,

518
00:21:25,620 --> 00:21:28,188
love blossoms between
Reeves' character, Paul,

519
00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:32,298
and Victoria, played
by Aitana Sanchez-Gijon.

520
00:21:32,340 --> 00:21:34,038
The film provides a unique perspective

521
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,228
on a Mexican family during the 1940s

522
00:21:36,270 --> 00:21:38,178
and social standings.

523
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:41,178
The film gained Keanu
another Raspberry nomination,

524
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:42,498
whilst many audience members

525
00:21:42,540 --> 00:21:44,718
thoroughly enjoyed his performance.

526
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,698
Keanu's performances were divisive,

527
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:49,439
and slowly people were
beginning to accept that.

528
00:21:49,481 --> 00:21:52,608
(upbeat music)

529
00:21:52,650 --> 00:21:55,578
Keanu came into contact with Jennifer Syme.

530
00:21:55,620 --> 00:21:58,158
Jennifer was a talented actor and filmmaker

531
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,628
who'd worked alongside David Lynch

532
00:21:59,670 --> 00:22:02,208
before directing her own projects.

533
00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:04,038
The two became a couple,

534
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,198
undoubtedly their passion for the arts

535
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,208
was a talking point of their relationship.

536
00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:09,198
(upbeat music)

537
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,428
Before long, Jennifer
became pregnant in 1999,

538
00:22:13,470 --> 00:22:16,173
the very year Keanu's life
would change indefinitely.

539
00:22:18,793 --> 00:22:21,376
(somber music)

540
00:22:25,365 --> 00:22:26,808
[Speaker] Cameraman!

541
00:22:26,850 --> 00:22:28,158
Cameraman Julian, just get in there

542
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,778
and get your shot of Keanu Reeves.

543
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:31,518
We're being promised
we're next in the line,

544
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,531
but these things...

545
00:22:32,573 --> 00:22:35,238
I think the first film that comes to mind

546
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,571
with Keanu Reeves is "The Matrix."

547
00:22:38,613 --> 00:22:42,168
There are other roles that come to mind,

548
00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:45,588
but "The Matrix" is
such a distinctive role.

549
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:48,603
It's such a distinctive
film, it's so iconic.

550
00:22:49,470 --> 00:22:51,378
I was 11 when I first saw it,

551
00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:54,288
and I remember thinking that Keanu Reeves

552
00:22:54,330 --> 00:22:57,048
was probably the coolest
person I'd ever seen.

553
00:22:57,090 --> 00:22:59,958
The film itself has such
an incredible legacy,

554
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,648
and has really changed the
way we think about sci-fi movies,

555
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:07,608
and has become kind of
part of the public lexicon now.

556
00:23:07,650 --> 00:23:08,778
So that's the one for me

557
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:10,128
that I think will always stand out.

558
00:23:10,170 --> 00:23:12,168
Keanu, Sky News, we're live.

559
00:23:12,210 --> 00:23:14,482
Can I just ask you one
more quick question, please?

560
00:23:14,524 --> 00:23:16,008
What do you make of the reception,

561
00:23:16,050 --> 00:23:19,458
not just here in London, but
just "The Matrix" worldwide?

562
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,018
It's pretty extraordinary,

563
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:23,228
and it's great to be a part of.

564
00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:25,225
It doesn't happen all that often.

565
00:23:25,267 --> 00:23:27,888
Just for me I just, I love the films,

566
00:23:27,930 --> 00:23:29,868
I had a great experience making them,

567
00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:32,355
and so hopefully people will enjoy them.

568
00:23:32,397 --> 00:23:35,868
And the experience of making
the film was a great one.

569
00:23:35,910 --> 00:23:38,838
And then the aspect when it came around

570
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,148
to complete the trilogy,

571
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:43,338
just signed on board
without reading the scripts

572
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:44,838
'cause of just the experience that I had

573
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,848
and the trust I have in the directors.

574
00:23:46,890 --> 00:23:49,225
And I had a great experience making

575
00:23:49,267 --> 00:23:50,778
"Reloaded" and "Revolutions."

576
00:23:50,820 --> 00:23:53,748
And it's great that people
are coming out to the films,

577
00:23:53,790 --> 00:23:55,728
and I hope that they enjoy them.

578
00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:58,818
- Famously Will Smith says
that one of his biggest regrets

579
00:23:58,860 --> 00:24:00,198
is turning down "The Matrix",

580
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,228
which he turned down in
favor of "Wild Wild West"

581
00:24:03,270 --> 00:24:04,398
because he had a lot of doubts

582
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,128
about whether or not The
Wachowskis would be able to

583
00:24:07,170 --> 00:24:09,468
pull off the very tricky special effects.

584
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,898
Nicholas Cage similarly
turned down the film

585
00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:14,898
as well as Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer.

586
00:24:14,940 --> 00:24:17,388
So it was quite a long list of names

587
00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:21,708
before Keanu Reeves was
the one that the script came to.

588
00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:25,638
And Warner Brothers really
fought quite hard for Keanu,

589
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,228
whereas The Wachowskis were more

590
00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:28,968
interested in having Johnny Depp.

591
00:24:29,010 --> 00:24:31,338
Keanu ended up being a perfect choice

592
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:33,828
because he was a
little bit of a blank slate

593
00:24:33,870 --> 00:24:36,588
who didn't have a huge profile at the time.

594
00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:40,008
He really gave the sense of naivety

595
00:24:40,050 --> 00:24:42,618
and almost openness that I think

596
00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:44,988
any other actor would've
probably struggled with,

597
00:24:45,030 --> 00:24:46,578
but the reason the film works is

598
00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:49,518
because we feel this
real connection to him,

599
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,938
and he could be kind of
anyone within the world.

600
00:24:52,980 --> 00:24:57,498
He is a kind of audience
surrogate who gets embroiled

601
00:24:57,540 --> 00:24:59,658
in this very weird world,

602
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:01,506
and kind of has to just go along with it.

603
00:25:01,548 --> 00:25:02,339
(upbeat music)

604
00:25:02,381 --> 00:25:05,028
- I did all right, I got
kicked a couple of times,

605
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,318
burst open my thumb.

606
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,178
And in one of the wire tricks,

607
00:25:08,220 --> 00:25:11,085
I remember I got caught in a tree,

608
00:25:11,127 --> 00:25:12,678
but I never really got hurt.

609
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,208
All in a day's work.

610
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,128
So "The Matrix" came out in 1999,

611
00:25:16,170 --> 00:25:18,198
we have to think back then to

612
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,218
how early that is to
have a cyber thriller, right?

613
00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:23,988
A thriller about the internet

614
00:25:24,030 --> 00:25:26,118
when most people were
still just getting to grips

615
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,738
with what the internet was.

616
00:25:27,780 --> 00:25:30,408
This is a whole drama
based around the internet.

617
00:25:30,450 --> 00:25:33,678
It also involves a lot of
AI, artificial intelligence.

618
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,328
Again, at a time when not a lot of people

619
00:25:35,370 --> 00:25:38,153
would've even known what that was.

620
00:25:38,195 --> 00:25:41,088
(upbeat music)

621
00:25:41,130 --> 00:25:42,798
I'm glad to be here.

622
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,738
I'm glad to speak about something

623
00:25:45,780 --> 00:25:47,913
that I love so much.

624
00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:50,418
I'm a fan of these movies,

625
00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:53,103
and I had a great time making them.

626
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,908
They've been a huge part of my life.

627
00:25:55,950 --> 00:25:56,783
- [Interviewer] Mm-hmm.

628
00:25:57,717 --> 00:26:02,140
- And so to come out and
travel and speak about them is

629
00:26:03,510 --> 00:26:04,765
part of the gift, I guess.

630
00:26:04,807 --> 00:26:05,941
I'm fine with it.

631
00:26:05,983 --> 00:26:06,774
(somber music)

632
00:26:06,816 --> 00:26:07,638
[Interviewer] You've done lots of really

633
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,378
interesting work, haven't you?

634
00:26:09,420 --> 00:26:12,228
- Yeah, I've been trying. - Yeah.

635
00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:16,968
- I really feel like "The
Matrix" is the event,

636
00:26:17,010 --> 00:26:20,688
is the piece that we all actors

637
00:26:20,730 --> 00:26:23,493
and craftspeople are a part of.

638
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:27,438
So hopefully if anything's remembered,

639
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,168
it will be the films themselves,
and we're part of that.

640
00:26:31,210 --> 00:26:32,238
(upbeat music)

641
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,988
So it is an incredibly innovative,

642
00:26:36,030 --> 00:26:38,328
and I think in a way, prophetic film.

643
00:26:38,370 --> 00:26:41,238
It just broke a lot of new ground,

644
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,695
and opened up new
cinematic worlds for audiences.

645
00:26:44,737 --> 00:26:46,308
"The Matrix" is an iconic film,

646
00:26:46,350 --> 00:26:48,048
partly because of its visual style

647
00:26:48,090 --> 00:26:52,728
that it imagined the
cyber world cinematically

648
00:26:52,770 --> 00:26:56,418
at a time when a few, if
any films had done that.

649
00:26:56,460 --> 00:26:58,728
It's interesting to look at it now

650
00:26:58,770 --> 00:27:02,238
and realize just how paranoid it is,

651
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,698
and how steeped in conspiracy it is,

652
00:27:04,740 --> 00:27:09,740
that everything, everything
we see and do is artificial,

653
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,278
and invented by larger structures around us

654
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,151
that are all out to get us.

655
00:27:15,193 --> 00:27:19,158
(chuckles) They are all
out to farm us, literally.

656
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,415
It's pretty special.

657
00:27:20,457 --> 00:27:22,098
- [Speaker] Keanu, you've
been a rocker in the past,

658
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,453
I mean how rock... Not like these guys.

659
00:27:23,495 --> 00:27:24,286
(speaker laughs) - How rock and roll

660
00:27:24,328 --> 00:27:25,119
do you now?

661
00:27:25,161 --> 00:27:26,357
Are you still rocking it up?

662
00:27:26,399 --> 00:27:28,188
No, I'm not. (speaker chuckles)

663
00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:32,463
I'm going a quieter path now,
more measured and quieter.

664
00:27:33,780 --> 00:27:35,178
[Narrator] The fame which came to Keanu,

665
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:37,758
thanks to "The Matrix"
franchise, it was immense.

666
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,388
Beyond the glitz and glamour,
Keanu's partner, Jennifer,

667
00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:43,513
gave birth to their daughter, Ava.

668
00:27:43,555 --> 00:27:44,508
(somber music)

669
00:27:44,550 --> 00:27:47,193
Sadly, the baby was stillborn.

670
00:27:48,300 --> 00:27:51,603
The birth affected Keanu and
Jennifer beyond comprehension.

671
00:27:52,890 --> 00:27:54,918
The couple briefly parted ways

672
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,618
before reuniting once more in 2001

673
00:27:57,660 --> 00:28:00,459
after dealing with the
loss in their own way.

674
00:28:00,501 --> 00:28:03,048
(somber music)

675
00:28:03,090 --> 00:28:04,518
One's personal life can put

676
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,615
a great deal of strain on their career.

677
00:28:06,657 --> 00:28:07,638
(somber music)

678
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,218
Whilst fans of Keanu could only speculate,

679
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:12,828
it was something that
many felt sympathy for.

680
00:28:12,870 --> 00:28:15,198
To juggle publicity and privacy is a war

681
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,748
Keanu seemed to avoid fighting.

682
00:28:17,790 --> 00:28:21,318
His emotions were raw and
could be seen in his interactions

683
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:22,923
alongside his performances.

684
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,218
An aura of honesty

685
00:28:25,260 --> 00:28:28,248
and humbleness began to radiate from Keanu.

686
00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:30,498
Something many celebrities
could not demonstrate

687
00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:32,253
due to being enveloped by fame,

688
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:35,673
but Keanu was a
completely different entity.

689
00:28:42,607 --> 00:28:45,258
"The Gift" directed by Sam Raimi

690
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:47,778
took Keanu back to a darker character,

691
00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:49,458
and is regarded as one of the actor's

692
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:51,363
more unique performances.

693
00:28:52,410 --> 00:28:54,948
His role as Donnie Barksdale allowed Keanu

694
00:28:54,990 --> 00:28:56,598
to explore his emotional range

695
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,204
within a whodunit narrative.

696
00:28:58,246 --> 00:28:59,037
(somber music)

697
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:02,418
- Brothers, I mean, your
momma being a witch and all.

698
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:04,203
If she don't stop her evil ways,

699
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:06,726
someday somebody's gonna burn her up,

700
00:29:06,768 --> 00:29:07,758
(somber music)

701
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,648
and then you boys are
gonna be without a daddy.

702
00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:12,783
I played Detective Tom Ludlow, the LAPD.

703
00:29:13,950 --> 00:29:16,308
I am an officer implicated in the death

704
00:29:16,350 --> 00:29:20,538
of his ex-partner who's
trying to find the killers.

705
00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:21,498
And along the way,

706
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:23,958
I kind of dig up more than I bargained for.

707
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,093
It was a great role, and
working with David was great,

708
00:29:28,798 --> 00:29:32,598
and I had a intense but
really good experience.

709
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,503
The role was a reach for me,

710
00:29:35,550 --> 00:29:37,578
but it was one that I
really enjoyed reaching for,

711
00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:38,963
and hopefully people will like it.

712
00:29:40,308 --> 00:29:41,099
(somber music)

713
00:29:41,141 --> 00:29:43,638
[Narrator] On April the 1st, 2001,

714
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,318
Jennifer Syme attended a party

715
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,328
at the home of Marilyn Manson.

716
00:29:47,370 --> 00:29:49,698
On her approach, she was
involved in a car collision,

717
00:29:49,740 --> 00:29:51,009
which proved fatal.

718
00:29:51,051 --> 00:29:53,718
(somber music)

719
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,448
The tragedy compounded
with the loss of their child

720
00:29:59,490 --> 00:30:01,758
was a shock of sadness to Keanu

721
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,438
alongside being a great moment

722
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,283
of realization and reflection.

723
00:30:06,570 --> 00:30:09,360
Life in Keanu's eyes
appeared to seem fragile.

724
00:30:09,402 --> 00:30:11,985
(somber music)

725
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,211
In September 2009,

726
00:30:16,253 --> 00:30:19,458
Keanu's philanthropic
work came into the spotlight.

727
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:23,268
He began to establish "The
Keanu Charles Reeves Foundation",

728
00:30:23,310 --> 00:30:26,448
he desired to raise money
in support of cancer research,

729
00:30:26,490 --> 00:30:29,658
a need only strengthened
due to his younger sister, Kim,

730
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:32,538
who had suffered from
leukemia for a decade.

731
00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:34,278
It was brought to the media's attention

732
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,488
that Keanu had also donated
over 70% of his earnings

733
00:30:37,530 --> 00:30:39,378
from "The Matrix" to charity

734
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:42,198
alongside continuing to
donate huge sums of his purse

735
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,883
for causes he has deemed
as necessary to back.

736
00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:48,888
People had just realized one key thing,

737
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:51,273
Keanu Reeves was one in a million.

738
00:30:53,889 --> 00:30:57,306
(cameraman taking photo)

739
00:30:58,380 --> 00:31:00,738
In May 2010, an image cropped up

740
00:31:00,780 --> 00:31:03,528
showing Keanu sitting
alone at a park bench.

741
00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:04,998
He was eating a sandwich,

742
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,335
and the internet went crazy about it.

743
00:31:07,377 --> 00:31:11,294
(cameras clicking photographs)

744
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,274
- We're all familiar with sad.
- I'm just eating a sandwich.

745
00:31:16,316 --> 00:31:17,107
Sad Keanu,

746
00:31:17,149 --> 00:31:18,813
a sad Keanu in right
there. (audience laughs)

747
00:31:18,855 --> 00:31:19,646
Man, I'm just eating

748
00:31:19,688 --> 00:31:20,479
a sandwich. - This is a frame of

749
00:31:20,521 --> 00:31:21,318
berserker from-(audience laughs)

750
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,987
Yeah. (audience applauds)

751
00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:24,344
(spectator cheering) - There you go.

752
00:31:24,386 --> 00:31:26,388
(audience applauds) - Okay.

753
00:31:26,430 --> 00:31:28,368
Keanu Reeves has become known

754
00:31:28,410 --> 00:31:31,098
for this incredible generosity,

755
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:34,338
both of spirit and kind of monetarily.

756
00:31:34,380 --> 00:31:36,648
He is a big philanthropist

757
00:31:36,690 --> 00:31:40,521
and is known for just helping
out anyone that needs it.

758
00:31:40,563 --> 00:31:41,688
That is something

759
00:31:41,730 --> 00:31:44,688
that is incredibly genuine
coming from Keanu.

760
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:48,108
He seems like someone who just really wants

761
00:31:48,150 --> 00:31:50,538
to leave the world a better
place than he found it.

762
00:31:50,580 --> 00:31:53,418
One of the stories that
always gets repeated is,

763
00:31:53,460 --> 00:31:55,188
how much he loves stunt teams

764
00:31:55,230 --> 00:31:57,168
because he makes so many action movies,

765
00:31:57,210 --> 00:32:01,158
and he always buys really incredible gifts

766
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,438
as a thank you to all
these people he works with.

767
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,098
He bought Ducati motorcycles
for everyone on "The Matrix",

768
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:09,888
and then Rolexes for
everyone on "John Wick"

769
00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:12,198
because he just wants to kind of share

770
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,178
his success with the world. (fans cheering)

771
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:16,159
- Keanu! - Hey, Keanu!

772
00:32:16,201 --> 00:32:17,478
(fan mumbling)

773
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,748
- There's a really lovely
clip from a few years ago

774
00:32:20,790 --> 00:32:22,698
where he was stranded at an airport

775
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:24,828
with a group of passengers

776
00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:28,248
and was giving them a
sort of impromptu tour

777
00:32:28,290 --> 00:32:30,288
with some facts he found on Wikipedia.

778
00:32:30,330 --> 00:32:33,215
It's population is around 380,000.

779
00:32:33,257 --> 00:32:34,608
(speaker chuckles) - Wow!

780
00:32:34,650 --> 00:32:38,568
- Making it the ninth most
populous city in California,

781
00:32:38,610 --> 00:32:43,008
and the 52nd most
populous city in the nation.

782
00:32:43,050 --> 00:32:44,550
We all say it, we all do it,

783
00:32:46,323 --> 00:32:47,196
and I think it has meaning.

784
00:32:47,238 --> 00:32:49,338
I think it's what we're going through now.

785
00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:51,438
I think it's the reason

786
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,633
that things are all sort of
a little bit uncomfortable.

787
00:32:55,590 --> 00:33:00,168
- [Hannah] He is known for
being a very genuine soul,

788
00:33:00,210 --> 00:33:02,598
the opposite of a diva within Hollywood.

789
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,148
I think it's maybe too easy to say

790
00:33:05,190 --> 00:33:08,328
that Keanu Reeves makes action films

791
00:33:08,370 --> 00:33:11,058
and sci-fi films alone.

792
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,698
It's true, those are the films
that have the most impact,

793
00:33:13,740 --> 00:33:15,498
those are the most popular films he makes,

794
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:18,918
but he also makes a
pretty wide variety of films.

795
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,838
He tries his hands in quite
a wide range of genres.

796
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,158
It doesn't always work out that well,

797
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,708
at least in terms of the
box office of the films,

798
00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:31,038
but he is always trying to
do something a little different.

799
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,588
So he makes the film "The
Lake House", for example,

800
00:33:33,630 --> 00:33:36,775
with Sandra Bullock, which
is a very romantic film;

801
00:33:36,817 --> 00:33:39,018
"Something's Gotta Give" with Diane Keaton

802
00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:40,608
and Jack Nicholson, a comedy.

803
00:33:40,650 --> 00:33:43,938
He is an actor who is
always stretching his wings,

804
00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:46,297
whether the audience takes note or not.

805
00:33:46,339 --> 00:33:49,105
(somber music)

806
00:33:49,147 --> 00:33:50,418
He is a very private man,

807
00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:52,575
so we don't know a lot
about him as a person.

808
00:33:52,617 --> 00:33:54,858
He doesn't talk about his private life

809
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:57,001
or his beliefs very readily.

810
00:33:57,043 --> 00:34:01,218
One senses his personality
when he's on talk shows

811
00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:04,248
promoting his films, his laid-back nature

812
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:06,798
when he talks about what
he likes to do offscreen,

813
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,348
it's usually riding his motorcycle,

814
00:34:09,390 --> 00:34:11,118
long, long motorcycle trips.

815
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,338
He's not someone who's
seen on the red carpet a lot,

816
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:17,688
he's not one who's seen
at openings, at nightclubs,

817
00:34:17,730 --> 00:34:19,876
he's not one of those
Hollywood A-list people

818
00:34:19,918 --> 00:34:22,908
who is always in a tux and
attending the right thing.

819
00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:25,008
One gets the sense that he is this sort of

820
00:34:25,050 --> 00:34:28,188
very laid-back, centered, easygoing guy,

821
00:34:28,230 --> 00:34:30,618
and fans pick up on that.

822
00:34:30,660 --> 00:34:32,538
I learned how to ride a motorcycle

823
00:34:32,580 --> 00:34:35,238
when I was doing a film in Munich.

824
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,278
This young woman had an Enduro,

825
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,408
and I asked her if she'd
teach me how to ride it.

826
00:34:39,450 --> 00:34:41,538
And then when I came back to Los Angeles,

827
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:45,273
this is probably around '86, '87,

828
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,108
I got my first motorcycle.

829
00:34:48,150 --> 00:34:50,148
When I don't ride a motorcycle,

830
00:34:50,190 --> 00:34:52,158
I go through withdrawal.

831
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,186
It's not good for my health. (chuckles)

832
00:34:56,228 --> 00:34:58,895
(somber music)

833
00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:03,948
If you look around on social media a bit,

834
00:35:03,990 --> 00:35:06,408
you can see various videos of him,

835
00:35:06,450 --> 00:35:08,118
like when he is on the subway in New York,

836
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,418
people notice him giving
up his seat to others,

837
00:35:11,460 --> 00:35:12,828
or helping them with their luggage,

838
00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:14,568
or doing all sorts of

839
00:35:14,610 --> 00:35:17,238
just really kind acts of everyday behavior

840
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,858
that reinforce the idea

841
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:21,738
that this guy is not a
slave to Hollywood glamor,

842
00:35:21,780 --> 00:35:23,696
but is his own person.

843
00:35:23,738 --> 00:35:25,578
(somber music)

844
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:27,798
In the 2000s, Keanu really started

845
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,598
to kind of experiment more,

846
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,698
he was doing "The Matrix" sequels,

847
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:36,228
but he was also taking on
roles like John Constantine

848
00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:39,378
in the adaptation of the comic books

849
00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:42,258
about a man dying of cancer

850
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:46,248
who hunts down all kinds
of supernatural entities.

851
00:35:46,290 --> 00:35:48,408
And that's become one of the roles

852
00:35:48,450 --> 00:35:51,798
that I think a lot of
people still even now,

853
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,908
nearly 20 years later

854
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:55,255
still want him to make
a sequel to that film.

855
00:35:55,297 --> 00:35:56,118
(somber music)

856
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,495
He was also taking on roles in films like

857
00:35:58,537 --> 00:36:00,918
"Something's Gotta Give" and "Thumbsucker",

858
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,518
which were a little bit
more comedic for him.

859
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,248
And then he did "A Scanner Darkly",

860
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:09,348
which was Richard Linklater's

861
00:36:09,390 --> 00:36:12,618
very experimental rotoscope animation film.

862
00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:14,928
So I think that Keanu really started

863
00:36:14,970 --> 00:36:16,608
to kind of take more risks

864
00:36:16,650 --> 00:36:18,798
once he'd had the success of "The Matrix",

865
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,468
and to start getting involved with films

866
00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:23,298
that were a little bit different for him.

867
00:36:23,340 --> 00:36:25,488
- I mean, I'm trying to
play different kinds of roles,

868
00:36:25,530 --> 00:36:28,953
different genres, and not be typecasts, so.

869
00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:31,661
I don't think you're gonna see

870
00:36:31,703 --> 00:36:33,078
"The Private Lives of Pippa Lee",

871
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,434
and expect to see Neo
or something like that.

872
00:36:36,476 --> 00:36:37,267
(interviewer chuckles)

873
00:36:37,309 --> 00:36:38,118
(somber music)

874
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,970
- Yeah, I mean, I enjoyed
the physical part of acting,

875
00:36:41,012 --> 00:36:41,803
(speaker laughs)

876
00:36:41,845 --> 00:36:44,958
and this one certainly
has that going forward.

877
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,848
- So yeah, it was an experience.
- Thank you very-

878
00:36:46,890 --> 00:36:49,458
Keanu made his directing debut

879
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,938
with "Man of Tai Chi" in 2013.

880
00:36:52,980 --> 00:36:56,655
He really played into kind
of his interest in action

881
00:36:56,697 --> 00:36:58,728
and in martial arts particularly.

882
00:36:58,770 --> 00:36:59,838
But there's a sense in which

883
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,858
he hasn't quite found his
feet, or found his new role

884
00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:07,878
until he makes the first "John Wick" film.

885
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,048
[Narrator] The loss of a loved one

886
00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:12,258
was depicted beautifully by Keanu in 2014

887
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:14,118
upon the release of "John Wick."

888
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,998
Beyond being an impeccably
well-choreographed franchise

889
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,415
of action filmmaking,

890
00:37:18,457 --> 00:37:21,498
"John Wick" connoted an
understanding of impermanence,

891
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:24,138
that suffering is merely
an unavoidable part of life.

892
00:37:24,180 --> 00:37:27,013
(thrilling music)

893
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:31,828
(dog barking) - You like that, huh?

894
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:34,548
- [Narrator] It is at this
point where we bear witness

895
00:37:34,590 --> 00:37:36,258
to this actor showing discipline,

896
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,342
which goes far beyond physical feats.

897
00:37:38,384 --> 00:37:39,175
(thrilling music)

898
00:37:39,217 --> 00:37:41,268
Keanu himself in "John Wick"

899
00:37:41,310 --> 00:37:44,358
shared something in common: Loss,

900
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,082
as do they share the
willingness to persevere.

901
00:37:47,124 --> 00:37:48,290
(actors firing guns)

902
00:37:48,332 --> 00:37:51,288
(thrilling music)

903
00:37:51,330 --> 00:37:52,518
How good's your laundry?

904
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,393
No one's that good.

905
00:37:54,435 --> 00:37:55,226
I thought not.

906
00:37:55,268 --> 00:37:58,185
(thrilling music)

907
00:38:00,603 --> 00:38:03,228
That starts a whole new franchise for him

908
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:07,278
and gives him a new identity
as a more mature actor.

909
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,368
He is not the young teenage
Kanye Reeves anymore,

910
00:38:10,410 --> 00:38:14,658
he plays an action hero
who cannot be defeated

911
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,565
no matter what you throw
at him, he cannot be defeated.

912
00:38:18,607 --> 00:38:21,108
"John Wick" has become one of the most

913
00:38:21,150 --> 00:38:23,418
successful action franchises of all time,

914
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:28,368
and I think that it totally
wouldn't work without Keanu.

915
00:38:28,410 --> 00:38:30,768
And I think that a lot of that is down to

916
00:38:30,810 --> 00:38:33,761
the partnership between
Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski.

917
00:38:33,803 --> 00:38:36,453
- And you must be very
good at kung fu now as well.

918
00:38:37,410 --> 00:38:39,768
I'm okay at movie kung fu.

919
00:38:39,810 --> 00:38:41,448
- Okay. (chuckles) - Yeah, movie action.

920
00:38:41,490 --> 00:38:42,681
Your characters,

921
00:38:42,723 --> 00:38:43,823
the storyline... Your characters.

922
00:38:44,456 --> 00:38:45,247
Of course, you set... Yeah.

923
00:38:45,289 --> 00:38:46,848
Pieces into action.

924
00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:48,888
But what's staying the same?

925
00:38:48,930 --> 00:38:50,958
John Wick suffering... John Wick.

926
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,441
Fighting for freedom.

927
00:38:52,483 --> 00:38:53,838
Always.

928
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,598
- Together they really
care about making sure

929
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,798
that the "John Wick" films

930
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,048
are not only incredibly well crafted,

931
00:39:00,090 --> 00:39:01,398
but incredibly entertaining.

932
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,588
Definitely the amount of effort

933
00:39:03,630 --> 00:39:07,788
Keanu and Stahelski have
put into casting the films

934
00:39:07,830 --> 00:39:09,528
and building the world of the films,

935
00:39:09,570 --> 00:39:11,568
the franchise is incredibly beloved

936
00:39:11,610 --> 00:39:14,118
by action fans around the world.

937
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,888
But wait, we do some car stuff.

938
00:39:15,930 --> 00:39:18,558
- Cars, horses, fights.
- The cars are back.

939
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,934
- Not really horses.
- Little bit of horses.

940
00:39:20,976 --> 00:39:22,428
(speakers chuckling)

941
00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:25,428
- But we have cars.
- Lot of cars, motorcycle.

942
00:39:25,470 --> 00:39:26,875
- Lot of fighting,
jujitsu... Motorcycle, car.

943
00:39:26,917 --> 00:39:29,628
- Judo, kung fu. - Jujitsu, judo, kung fu.

944
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:31,398
But we got some surprises in there.

945
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,598
- Yeah. - We got some surprises.

946
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,431
- Yeah. - Yeah.

947
00:39:33,473 --> 00:39:36,348
- They both require this
incredible amount of stunt work

948
00:39:36,390 --> 00:39:39,168
from Keanu who has
really shown this ability

949
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,618
to throw himself into his work,

950
00:39:42,660 --> 00:39:44,748
especially in the latest "John Wick" film

951
00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:47,028
where he falls down
the longest flight of stairs

952
00:39:47,070 --> 00:39:49,614
in the world repeatedly and quite heavily.

953
00:39:49,656 --> 00:39:54,656
(actor punching Keanu) (Keanu grunting)

954
00:39:56,010 --> 00:39:59,748
He is someone who really wants to innovate

955
00:39:59,790 --> 00:40:02,088
within his space and try new things,

956
00:40:02,130 --> 00:40:05,118
there is a constant quality.

957
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,318
- So it's a curious
combination of the old style

958
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,308
vigilante film in which the
action hero is seeking justice,

959
00:40:13,350 --> 00:40:16,008
but it's overlaid with a level of heartache

960
00:40:16,050 --> 00:40:18,648
and vulnerability that gives the film

961
00:40:18,690 --> 00:40:20,898
and the character some depth.

962
00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:21,978
Well, I love the role,

963
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:25,368
and for me it was really cool

964
00:40:25,410 --> 00:40:27,228
to have the response of the first film

965
00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:29,598
from the audience to
give us the opportunity

966
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,988
to tell another chapter in John's life.

967
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:36,288
I remember the first
day that I was back in,

968
00:40:36,330 --> 00:40:37,121
we were starting to film,

969
00:40:37,163 --> 00:40:39,873
and the first time that
I put the suit back on,

970
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:44,268
it was literally the same
suit from chapter two,

971
00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:46,158
and it still fit.

972
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,288
- I was always inspired by
the early James Bond movies

973
00:40:48,330 --> 00:40:49,245
about how they took you place

974
00:40:49,287 --> 00:40:51,918
and they made you really
think about the world

975
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,658
and place you wanna go and inspire you,

976
00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:55,488
so we just wanted to do the same thing.

977
00:40:55,530 --> 00:40:57,558
It's a bit of a saga,
it's John Wick's story,

978
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:58,908
it's John Wick's saga.

979
00:40:58,950 --> 00:41:00,588
So you get to see John Wick go through

980
00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:02,118
a lot of trials and tribulations,

981
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,428
some great set pieces and
meet some interesting people.

982
00:41:04,470 --> 00:41:05,660
Yeah, the world... And then shoot them.

983
00:41:05,702 --> 00:41:06,558
The character. (Chad chuckles)

984
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,881
I mean, you were going a little big.

985
00:41:08,923 --> 00:41:10,398
[Chad] I went pretty big on this one.

986
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,231
- Yeah. - I wanted the world

987
00:41:11,273 --> 00:41:12,520
of John Wick to feel big.

988
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,328
[Speaker] Is it true that there's

989
00:41:14,370 --> 00:41:16,227
really gonna be a "Bill & Ted 3"?

990
00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:20,358
Is it really true?

991
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,823
Like that's my dream come true, if so.

992
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,348
I can't wait to see it, man, a huge fan.

993
00:41:27,390 --> 00:41:30,502
- We didn't expect to
wanna make another one,

994
00:41:30,544 --> 00:41:31,488
(upbeat music)

995
00:41:31,530 --> 00:41:33,258
including not just Keanu and myself,

996
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:35,808
including the writers: Chris
Matheson and Ed Solomon.

997
00:41:35,850 --> 00:41:39,408
And I think they just kind of got inspired,

998
00:41:39,450 --> 00:41:42,318
they had this idea they
brought to us awhile ago,

999
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,688
like a good 10 years ago,

1000
00:41:44,730 --> 00:41:46,638
that we just thought was really hilarious

1001
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,168
and had a lot of potential.

1002
00:41:48,210 --> 00:41:51,228
- Third installment, is it is
on the cards, is it happening?

1003
00:41:51,270 --> 00:41:54,468
Maybe, yeah, they're writing a script,

1004
00:41:54,510 --> 00:41:55,945
Chris and Ed, so. - Mm-hmm.

1005
00:41:55,987 --> 00:41:58,979
We'll see if it's any good.

1006
00:41:59,021 --> 00:41:59,812
(upbeat music)

1007
00:41:59,854 --> 00:42:01,398
Not giving much away though, you just...

1008
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:02,746
Well, that's all I know.

1009
00:42:02,788 --> 00:42:03,579
Okay? - Mm-hmm.

1010
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:04,818
It's just like they've got the burden,

1011
00:42:04,860 --> 00:42:08,148
and why hasn't things happened,

1012
00:42:08,190 --> 00:42:10,138
and they're still kind
of stuck in their life.

1013
00:42:10,180 --> 00:42:10,971
(upbeat music)

1014
00:42:11,013 --> 00:42:12,288
- Yeah. - Yeah.

1015
00:42:12,330 --> 00:42:14,028
I think it would be good.

1016
00:42:14,070 --> 00:42:16,098
I think we're better than
good, I think it would be.

1017
00:42:16,140 --> 00:42:19,248
It would be ridiculous, but fun.

1018
00:42:19,290 --> 00:42:20,538
- But fun. - If it's good.

1019
00:42:20,580 --> 00:42:23,012
It would be excellent. (Keanu chuckles)

1020
00:42:23,054 --> 00:42:24,228
(chuckles) You are not gonna say it,

1021
00:42:24,270 --> 00:42:26,178
are you? (chuckles)

1022
00:42:26,220 --> 00:42:27,078
Not today.

1023
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,068
Not today.

1024
00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:29,268
Oh, I tried.

1025
00:42:29,310 --> 00:42:30,528
[Narrator] Some projects were deemed

1026
00:42:30,570 --> 00:42:33,018
more critically successful than others,

1027
00:42:33,060 --> 00:42:34,608
yet Keanu maintained his passion

1028
00:42:34,650 --> 00:42:36,775
throughout every project he was a part of.

1029
00:42:36,817 --> 00:42:37,968
(upbeat music)

1030
00:42:38,010 --> 00:42:39,738
Yeah, I was reliving it

1031
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:42,918
at the same time living it.

1032
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,388
I knew.

1033
00:42:44,430 --> 00:42:46,518
That gesture that you're talking about,

1034
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,598
kind of feeling the back

1035
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,388
and seeing if the plug is there and stuff.

1036
00:42:50,430 --> 00:42:54,498
There was certain moments
that were intentionalized,

1037
00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:56,988
like, okay, so that was
then, so let's do it now.

1038
00:42:57,030 --> 00:42:58,207
But now is different.

1039
00:42:58,249 --> 00:42:59,388
(somber music)

1040
00:42:59,430 --> 00:43:03,348
And I think Lana Wachowski, the director,

1041
00:43:03,390 --> 00:43:06,646
was playing with that idea
of the past and the present.

1042
00:43:06,688 --> 00:43:09,828
- It was challenging,
for sure, and exciting.

1043
00:43:09,870 --> 00:43:11,988
I love that physical aspect of

1044
00:43:12,030 --> 00:43:14,238
what it takes to play Trinity.

1045
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:15,468
As challenging as it was,

1046
00:43:15,510 --> 00:43:18,243
just 'cause my body is
so different 20 years later,

1047
00:43:19,433 --> 00:43:22,878
and it was a challenge that I loved it.

1048
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,098
I loved being a part of
those really physical scenes,

1049
00:43:25,140 --> 00:43:27,108
and especially doing them with him.

1050
00:43:27,150 --> 00:43:30,138
He is so masterful at it, and it's so,

1051
00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:31,968
I learned a lot by watching him,

1052
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:37,010
and how he meets the action
in such a believable language.

1053
00:43:37,350 --> 00:43:39,198
He has just this incredible ability

1054
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:41,073
with his body to tell story.

1055
00:43:42,426 --> 00:43:43,390
And I learned a lot

1056
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,688
working with him this
time around watching him,

1057
00:43:47,730 --> 00:43:52,730
and trying to take some of it. (laughs)

1058
00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:55,038
Well, you nailed it. (speakers laughing)

1059
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,138
I also like just the
first time that we meet.

1060
00:43:57,180 --> 00:43:59,418
- Mm-hmm. - And then all of our scenes.

1061
00:43:59,460 --> 00:44:00,622
- Mm-hmm, it's really fun, (Keanu laughs)

1062
00:44:00,664 --> 00:44:01,908
it was really fun. - Really.

1063
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:06,138
- Every day was really
lovely to be across from him

1064
00:44:06,180 --> 00:44:10,578
and partnering up in that
way, it was really a joy.

1065
00:44:10,620 --> 00:44:12,005
- In "The Matrix." - Yeah.

1066
00:44:12,047 --> 00:44:12,838
(somber music)

1067
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,238
[Narrator] Animation became a new stone

1068
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,633
for Keanu to overturn.

1069
00:44:16,590 --> 00:44:19,068
His appearances in "Toy Story 4"

1070
00:44:19,110 --> 00:44:21,708
alongside "SpongeBob"
and "League of Super-Pets"

1071
00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:24,408
resulted in some
fantastic vocal deliveries,

1072
00:44:24,450 --> 00:44:27,918
and often material which would
later become a meme template.

1073
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,588
The memes, of course, were
a way of honoring the actor,

1074
00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:31,828
not to belittle him.

1075
00:44:31,870 --> 00:44:32,868
(somber music)

1076
00:44:32,910 --> 00:44:35,328
Keanu, thanks to his earthly persona,

1077
00:44:35,370 --> 00:44:37,848
had tapped into a new
generation of audience,

1078
00:44:37,890 --> 00:44:40,046
which has embraced him for who he is.

1079
00:44:40,088 --> 00:44:41,118
(somber music)

1080
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,478
To a lot of people, Keanu
appears as a source of comfort

1081
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,208
and hope in this turbulent world.

1082
00:44:47,250 --> 00:44:50,148
His calmness and enjoyment
of the simple things in life

1083
00:44:50,190 --> 00:44:52,780
is how many others wish
for themselves to live.

1084
00:44:52,822 --> 00:44:55,489
(somber music)

1085
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,198
I think audiences have always enjoyed

1086
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,938
seeing Keanu Reeves offscreen

1087
00:45:01,980 --> 00:45:03,348
because when they see him,

1088
00:45:03,390 --> 00:45:06,258
he's not doing the normal Hollywood things,

1089
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:10,578
and he comes across as
a genuine laid-back person

1090
00:45:10,620 --> 00:45:12,558
who has a life quite separate

1091
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:17,442
from his star power and
his incredible earnings.

1092
00:45:17,484 --> 00:45:20,478
He must be one of the best
paid actors in Hollywood,

1093
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,458
but he seems like someone who just likes

1094
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:23,898
riding around on his motorcycle.

1095
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:28,728
And when he is on talk shows,
he's very self-deprecating,

1096
00:45:28,770 --> 00:45:31,788
and doesn't have any of the self-importance

1097
00:45:31,830 --> 00:45:34,188
that a lot of Hollywood actors bring.

1098
00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:38,538
So I think people see something genuine

1099
00:45:38,580 --> 00:45:40,938
and genuinely laid-back
in him that's very appealing.

1100
00:45:40,980 --> 00:45:42,645
And they've seen that from the beginning,

1101
00:45:42,687 --> 00:45:47,118
from his earliest films
through to his latest films.

1102
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,638
So one of the most intriguing
things I've heard him say

1103
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,548
about his future is that
he'd like to play King Lear.

1104
00:45:52,590 --> 00:45:53,778
And I'm not sure whether he meant

1105
00:45:53,820 --> 00:45:57,168
that on stage or on screen,

1106
00:45:57,210 --> 00:45:58,878
but I think it would
be a great part for him.

1107
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,438
I think he looks like Lear now.

1108
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,388
John Wick (chuckles) looks like Lear.

1109
00:46:02,430 --> 00:46:04,698
And I think it would be a great way for him

1110
00:46:04,740 --> 00:46:08,223
to stretch his wings further as an actor.

1111
00:46:09,401 --> 00:46:12,068
(somber music)

1112
00:46:12,930 --> 00:46:15,348
For over 30 years, Reeves has really had

1113
00:46:15,390 --> 00:46:17,328
this incredibly varied career,

1114
00:46:17,370 --> 00:46:21,648
which is defined by these
really intense action roles

1115
00:46:21,690 --> 00:46:24,168
that he has managed to make his own,

1116
00:46:24,210 --> 00:46:28,368
and he's really got this kind of bravery

1117
00:46:28,410 --> 00:46:32,178
I think as a performer where
he's been knocked down by life,

1118
00:46:32,220 --> 00:46:36,378
by bad reviews, by bad
box office reception,

1119
00:46:36,420 --> 00:46:38,478
but he's always kind of got back up.

1120
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,848
His impact is really reshaping

1121
00:46:40,890 --> 00:46:42,558
what it means to be a leading man,

1122
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:47,148
and also what it means
to be a successful actor,

1123
00:46:47,190 --> 00:46:50,808
and to how you should
take bad reviews as an actor.

1124
00:46:50,850 --> 00:46:54,048
His parlance of his online persona,

1125
00:46:54,090 --> 00:46:57,678
or certainly his outside of film persona

1126
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,798
with on-screen performances,
especially in John Wick,

1127
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,258
has become incredibly unique

1128
00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:04,878
and something that we're going to see

1129
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,835
influencing the next
generation of actions stars.

1130
00:47:07,877 --> 00:47:08,778
(somber music)

1131
00:47:08,820 --> 00:47:11,298
Well, I don't think he'll be remembered

1132
00:47:11,340 --> 00:47:14,508
primarily as an actor in
the sense that we remember,

1133
00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:18,138
say Laurence Olivier or Marlon Brando

1134
00:47:18,180 --> 00:47:19,818
as an actor.

1135
00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:23,988
And I don't think he'll be
remembered as the kind of star

1136
00:47:24,030 --> 00:47:26,928
that Tom Cruise is, or George Clooney is,

1137
00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:29,988
someone where we know
a lot about their private life,

1138
00:47:30,030 --> 00:47:33,276
and we feel their presence

1139
00:47:33,318 --> 00:47:34,109
in the film,

1140
00:47:34,151 --> 00:47:36,468
the presence of their
personality in the film.

1141
00:47:36,510 --> 00:47:39,888
I think he'll be remembered
in terms of the screen,

1142
00:47:39,930 --> 00:47:41,418
in terms of his acting,

1143
00:47:41,460 --> 00:47:45,708
as someone who really
changed the action genre

1144
00:47:45,750 --> 00:47:48,438
and brought a new kind of figure into it,

1145
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,698
a more thoughtful, a
more emotionally complex,

1146
00:47:52,740 --> 00:47:55,548
less macho action figure.

1147
00:47:55,590 --> 00:47:58,938
I think that'll be a
key part of his legacy.

1148
00:47:58,980 --> 00:48:00,948
And the other part will be

1149
00:48:00,990 --> 00:48:02,838
someone who managed to be a star

1150
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,238
and a top earning star for decades

1151
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,108
without taking on any
of the trappings of glamor

1152
00:48:09,150 --> 00:48:12,258
or scandal or self-importance

1153
00:48:12,300 --> 00:48:15,483
that so many other Hollywood stars have.

1154
00:48:16,844 --> 00:48:19,578
(upbeat music)

1155
00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:21,078
[Narrator] Keanu Reeves is far and away

1156
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,086
one of the more unconventional actors.

1157
00:48:23,128 --> 00:48:23,919
(upbeat music)

1158
00:48:23,961 --> 00:48:26,148
His ability to have his
spirit seep into the roles

1159
00:48:26,190 --> 00:48:28,578
he undertakes is remarkable.

1160
00:48:28,620 --> 00:48:31,233
He has experienced so much in his lifetime.

1161
00:48:32,610 --> 00:48:35,268
Though he deservedly
remains a private person,

1162
00:48:35,310 --> 00:48:37,398
he has shown the world his kindness,

1163
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,288
his generosity and appreciation

1164
00:48:39,330 --> 00:48:41,493
for what others might perceive as mundane.

1165
00:48:42,450 --> 00:48:45,018
There is no doubt that Keanu
is a beacon for many people

1166
00:48:45,060 --> 00:48:48,588
who have experienced
similar events in their own life.

1167
00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:50,988
It is the acceptance of our flaws

1168
00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:52,368
and the willingness to continue,

1169
00:48:52,410 --> 00:48:54,476
which Keanu has gifted to the people.

1170
00:48:54,518 --> 00:48:57,108
(upbeat music)

1171
00:48:57,150 --> 00:48:57,941
[Stephen] What do you think happens

1172
00:48:57,983 --> 00:48:59,354
when we die, Keanu Reeves?

1173
00:48:59,396 --> 00:49:01,281
(audience laughs)

1174
00:49:01,323 --> 00:49:03,678
(Keanu sighs)

1175
00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:06,513
- I know that the ones
who love us will miss us.

1176
00:49:07,740 --> 00:49:08,573
- Ah! - Aw!

1177
00:49:09,684 --> 00:49:12,684
(audience applauds)

1178
00:49:13,793 --> 00:49:16,460
(upbeat music)
