- unishark 5y agoIn return for the 100+ million dollars he got out of it? Li's role would only have been in the sequels anyway, not the one good movie... Seriously though, for such a deal if one gets a percentage as royalties perpetually too, then it may be a good arrangement. I think Li's objections could have al been addressed as terms in the deal. Apparently what Li is saying is the terms offered were one-sided and he didn't like them.
- dmos62 5y ago> the one good movie It's the opposite for me, I liked them all, but the first one was just a good old rehash of Socrate's cave allegory. It offered hardly anything new, but was pretentious with various references to Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, which is precisely a critique of the cave allegory. The first one was accessible, simple, fun. The sequels were no less fun, but you had to think. While the first ones referenced Christian mythology a lot, the sequels jumped into Eastern metaphysics.
- jonplackett 5y agoI appreciated the second 2 more on 2nd, maybe 3rd watch. They were much cleverer, but worse as entertainment. Also the secret to happiness is low expectations, and I never walked into a movie theatre with higher expectations than I did for Matrix 2.
- dmos62 5y agoSame, on both points.
- Razengan 5y agoMatrix 2 was a cliffhanger leading to a letdown, but I loved the many little worldbuilding elements (like The Merovingian etc.)
- jonplackett 5y agoThe thing I struggled with on first watch was knowing how important events are. If this person dies or this person is caught, how good / bad is that? In the first film every character motivation is crystal clear, every character change is obvious and massive and compelling. I still get a tingle at the exact point where Neo wraps the rope around his arm and decides he’s going to catch a helicopter to save Trinity.

- worker767424 5y agoDidn't they do something close to that with Hugh Weaving to make a lot of CG Agent Smiths?
- testplzignore 5y agoNo. They actually created real physical clones of him. It's no coincidence that production on the film started shortly after the creation of Dolly the sheep.
- royjacobs 5y agoTo be fair, the technology and storage available in the early 2000s would have been quite sufficient to store all of Reeves' facial expressions.
- albertopv 5y agoI saw over 14 millions of possible futures. And how many Reeves' facials expressions? Just one.
- andi999 5y agoI don't fear the person training 10,000 facial expressions. I fear the person training one expression 10,000 times.

- thatguy0900 5y agoIn zoolander, a model develops a facial expression so beautiful it can stop thrown weapons in midair. It's the only expression he ever does. He calls it blue steel. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D519hT7-ytY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D519hT7-ytY

- nsonha 5y agoKeanu Reeves has like 4 facial expressions and none of them is original, no one would be interested in that. This guy becoming an action/movie star seems like dumb luck.
- darkerside 5y agoYeah, must be pure luck
- paulryanrogers 5y agoThis is explored in "The Congress" quite thoroughly
- laurent92 5y agoThe Congress is my absolute nightmare movie, despite the beauty of it. I find it depresses me because we all live some part of our lives as an illusion, and it’s tempting to go even further; In fact, are we so far into an illusion that we don’t notice our life is destructed?
