Keanu Reeves took some aïkido when he was a kid but he does not have any belts

Keanu’s interview: http://entertainment.stv.tv/#!/film/188034-keanu-reeves-knows-kung-fu-shows-us-with-47-ronin-and-man-of-tai-chi/

“I did some studying when I was a little kid, you know. Took some aïkido and did some jumping around stuff. But I don’t have any belts,” he said. “I know movie kung fu. And I had one fight in the film, a super fight.”

It’s funny to notice how many things we have in common: I took some karate (full contact) when I was 18 and I don’t have any belts! We have the same look for ages (jeans, sport shoes and jacket).  He had a serious bike accident when he was younger and cried for help, me too! He likes red wine, me too! He smokes, me too! He likes Chinese food and has Chinese friends, me too! He likes Kung Fu movies, me too! He is single, me too!  We have the same gesture with our hands and … and … and I could write many other things we have in common but I don’t want to spend the whole evening writing here … LOL

I must meet this man one day, we have a similar life and a similar personality   The only difference between Keanu and me: he is rich and famous and I am poor and unknown, (and I am happy with it), hehehe.

Keanu talks about Side by Side, Man of Tai Chi

… How much did making this documentary help you in the process of directing? Yeah, I would say absolutely that the experience making the documentary definitely informed and educated me in knowing a little more about what I had to do. [There was] familiarity with what it meant for digital workflow and how to look at the images; a comfort with the set, with the digital technicians. It definitely helped make the forest I was going into a little more known.

You hired Elliot Davis as cinematographer for “Man of Tai Chi” and he’s done some great work in the past — even shooting “Out of Sight” for Steven Soderbergh, which is an anomaly since Soderbergh often shoots his own films. Why did you hire him? When I was looking for a cinematographer, his work kept coming up. It was the emotion he captures in the camera in his work with Catherine Hardwicke on “Twilight” and “Lords of Dogtown”; the beauty of his images. “Out of Sight” is a very stylish film, too. His framing is always tasteful. He has an immediacy with his cinematography. Even in a film like “Twilight,” there’s an intimacy in that lens and with the world he creates. And, you know, we got along. He was gracious enough to meet with me and take a chance to make a Chinese kung-fu movie.

You haven’t acted in very many films during the past five years. Is that a matter of the roles not being right or you being picky? It’s a mixture of all of those things. In the past couple of years I got to work on “Henry’s Crime” and “47 Ronin”; I played a villain in this film I just did. Yeah, it’s been harder. It’s harder to get films off the ground. It’s harder to get roles. So, I guess it’s just been my lot in life. But I’m working on it! …

… CS: When did you guys decide that you would be doing the interviews yourself? That adds another layer of scheduling in terms of getting you to where they are.
Reeves: Yeah, it’s very personal, this documentary, in a sense, so I wanted to be part of it, and I wanted to get the answers. These questions that I ask are my questions and it’s Chris’s interest. Chris and I wanted to make a film that would be interesting to the specialist, but more importantly also the general audience, sort of a movie about movies. Hopefully when people see this, it’s going to deepen the appreciation. It’s kind of like a behind the scenes in how did they make it? How do they do it? For me, it was reaching out personally to other artists to try, and Chris, reaching out to people. So I would reach out, and then the documentary would reach out to see if anybody was interested in speaking to us…

At Side by Side Premiere in NYC Keanu went to pose for press photos and turned his back on the photographers as if to suggest that the flashing cameras were hurting his eyes. Poor Keanu, you are doing so much sacrifices for us.  We don’t want you to become blind, so next time bring your Matrix black glasses with you, no worry we won’t blame you.

Generation Um movie

I know that Generation Um entire movie is somewhere online (don’t ask me where I won’t tell you!).     I don’t agree with this, there is a copyright issue! This is not legal and this could hurt the movie financially!

As the purpose of my website is to support Keanu Reeves and to promote his movies, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night anymore if I was posting the link here, so don’t send it to me.

My 50 cents on this:

To all Keanu fans, when Generation Um movie will be out in the theatres in your country, in your region, GO SEE IT !!!

To all Keanu Reeves fansites: by respect for Keanu, please DO NOT POST OR SHARE THAT BLOODY LINK !!!
