Florence Pugh and Zendaya both come from the "I'm bored" school of female acting, and somehow they both get nonstop roles and accolades. They're like Keanu Reeves if his shtick was being an aloof dickhead.
Lol. Have to point out that Keanu is very good looking, though.
Also very physically skilled.
Any time he was required to do something for a role he did it. Need to put on extra muscles for Speed (since it was originally a Jeff Speakman vehicle)? He did it. Need to learn kung-fu for the Matrix? Done. Needed to learn Jiu Jitsu for and gun-fu for John Wick? On it. Need to wear a horrible haircut for Johnny Mnemonic? Accomplished.
And unlike his peers during that era, he never once complained about any job unlike Brad Pitt (who whined incessantly about how much fighting and getting hit sucked in Fight Club, and how miserable he was on-set with Interview With A Vampire),or Tom Cruise who seemed to be a whiny beyotch before turning 40 and finally manning up, or Val Kilmer (rest his soul) who blew every big opportunity he had acting like a total diva, or Gary Oldman who refused to wear any prosthetics or go through heavy makeup ever again after Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Keanu was a consummate professional through and through, and just got the work done and looked good doing it.
I think it was 5th Element that did it IIRC.
i dont really care about actors back story or their behind the scenes antics at all, it is creepy that you do.
They are paid to play a part on a screen, and Keanu has the acting chops of a stiff wooden board.
Gary Oldman is a fantastic actor.
Right, but the behind-the-scenes antics affect the on-screen performances.
For instance, Matt Damon DID NOT train in martial arts as assiduously for the Bourne series as Keanu Reeves did for the Matrix and John Wick. As a result, he could not get the choreography down correctly for the fight scenes -- his timing and positioning was almost always off. This isn't some hidden knowledge, this was in the behind-the-scenes footage and in plenty of interviews.
The result is that Damon's lack of dedication to the craft OFF-SCREEN impacted how the fight scenes had to be depicted ON-SCREEN. So what did we end up with? An era of shaky cam, quick-cuts, and fast-edits to hide the fact that Damon couldn't fight. This lack of off-screen dedication helped dampen and ruin the appeal in many Hollywood fight scenes, where shaky cam was a solution for actors who were incapable of learning the choreography correctly or lacked the physical skill to play the role believably.
Uma Thurman had the same problem in Kill Bill (again, this is no surprise, as they talked about it extensively in the behind-the-scenes footage), so they once again used a lot of editing tricks and Zoë Bell to compensate -- thankfully Bell is a dead ringer for Thurman, and had a similar build and height, so Bell could do most of the stand-ins for the fight scenes and almost no one noticed.
Now some people don't care about these things -- they just sit down and turn their brain off and enjoy whatever is fed to them, but I do care about these things because dedication to the craft and the pursuit of suspending the audience's disbelief shows a level of commitment to excellence from the filmmakers and crew that I highly respect.
