“I'm at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you're right - have fun." - Keanu Reeves.

  If the screenplay requires 2 and 2 to add to 5 for a dramatic effect, this certainty can be shown! But Mr Reeves says about (not) trying to change someone else's mind, not own mind.

  What is truly amazing about the production of John Wick is that while yes the physics of the movies are… not realistic, they take an obscene amount of care about the gun safety. Which given the themes of the movie is pretty funny, but for the members of the production, I’m glad it’s not a joke.

"Don't wrestle with pigs." The issue though is when pigs get to make the laws.

  Oh yeah, for sure. I wouldn't personally advocate for living your entire life by this quote. But it is funny.

> “I'm at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you're right - have fun." - Keanu Reeves. Nice one. I say something more aggressive like: "excuse me, I go back down to earth talking with doctors saving patients' lives and engineers creating the planes in which you fly!".

Maybe he's talking about maturity, but maybe it could also have something to do with the world of acting versus other careers like medicine or science or engineering, or even possibly have something to do with being at that stage of life where you have hundreds of millions of dollars.

  Yes, see my response to your sibling.

  That would be negated by the first sentence - "I stay out of discussions" - if force is being used it's no longer a discussion.
