"John Wick" Keanu Reeves, new masterpiece that marks a step towards becoming a great actor

Kill 28 people at once under 40 degree heat!

While confessing his true feelings, Keanu himself declares that he did 90% of the action in John Wick himself. A highlight of the film is a sequence in which John defeats his opponents one after another in a nightclub. What was surprising was that the action plans were decided the day before filming, so Keanu had to memorize everything in a short amount of time. Moreover, on the day of filming, Keanu had caught a cold and had a fever of 40 degrees.

The number of people killed by John in "John Wick", the so-called "kill count", is said to be "84" (there are various theories such as "77"), but 28 of them are recorded at this nightclub. Keanu was able to complete such a complex sequence in one go.

Keanu forced himself to train eight hours a day for four months before filming. Keanu told me that he needed this long period of time to perfect not only his physical movements, but also how to use tools such as how to use knives and guns, and how to wear a suit.

What Keanu was unable to do on his own was the scene where he co-starred with a dog. At the beginning of the film, Beagle, who suffers a tragedy, has a scene in which he licks John's face, and in that scene, Keanu's face is smeared with bacon fat, allowing him to jump on Keanu while he is sleeping in bed. In an interview when he came to Japan, Keanu said with a wry smile, ``Since he was a puppy, it was impossible to train him.He started doing whatever he wanted, and it was already difficult.'' The beagle puppy was just 8 weeks old at the end of filming. By the way, Keanu said of his new pitbull companion in John Wick: Chapter 2 , ``I've gotten closer to him than I did with my previous beagle.''
