The Keanu Reeves Enigma
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Keanu Reeves has been in the spotlight for over 30 years. But how much do you know about him... really?
His mystery has allured the press for decades. But Keanu has kept quiet. Despite personal tragedies and spectacular triumphs, Keanu Reeves keeps in his own lane. But that doesn't mean he doesn't express himself. The star of The Matrix, John Wick, Bill & Ted and much more, many parallels can be drawn between Keanu's life and his art. This story doesn't promise to unveil Keanu's secrets, but it will shine a light on his unique experience with public attention. The Keanu Reeves "enigma" is not so much about his mystery, but more of a question on how society deals with those who don't fit the 'status quo.'
This documentary was made possible thanks to the great help of Team Dodford (see below) and the support of our viewers. Thank you for watching.

Keanu is one of those actor that I think really actually deserve his fame not just because of his acting skill, but also because of how down to earth he is and how he uses his fame and wealth
After all, he is the internet's boyfriend. And we're all lining up for a date.
I'd swap fame for success, I feel like the stage of life he's at he doesn't want fame
@@justanotheruser7228 Completely. But it's all part and parcel of being a star in Hllwd.
what acting skill?
@@boofjew peace and love ✌️❣️
“I know that the ones who love us will miss us.”
He has a beautiful way with words and shows how empathic he is as a human being. That last line almost got me in tears.
Je sais que tu es un homme hypersensible je le ressens et tu es une bonté ton ami mimi♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥✨💋💋💋
If He DIE. He Said If I Die WE will MISS US 😢😢😢. He MEEN. All His FANIES. SHURE❤
Keanu Reeves is one talented actor. He's enigmatic, yet his presence draws you in automatically. We know for certain he's one of very few Hollywood celebrities who don't necessarily want to shed too much light on themselves, especially around their personal lives.
Pretty spot on I reckon ❤
He's very charismatic but I don't know if he's a good actor
Hes a good actor but his movies suck after matrix one
He absolutely sucks at acting. You’re just too dumb to see it because you like his charm
So your a desperately lonely and obsessive/clingy extremely annoying weird chick? Cool
The man who tells Keanu he is breathtaking is my hero.
mega chad moment
not really he turned out to be a cringe dude who milked this moment to death
That was at E3.
"You're breathtaking, you're all breathtaking!"
Regardless if the individual that sparked the meme cringe milked their 15 minutes of fame, meme gotta come from somewhere, and it does say much about Keanu that he reacted as such
@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield ok who milked that meme
Keanu is a national treasure, a man completely deserving of the fame yet humble because he knows what life is like for those of us on the bottom rung of the ladder.
@AnnekevanderStap can you help me understand what your saying
Question is, which country's national treasure

Hello

I gotta say, these are fantastic mini documentaries. You do an excellent job of researching and letting the people speak for themselves
I subscribed 45 seconds into this video. And after looking at his other vids i know I'll be learning alot and itll be entertaining and well put together.
⭐"Life is good when you have a good sandwich.”- Keanu Reeves 🥪
I must admit, I can relate to Keanu Reeves as my 'literally me.' Unlike many, I don't find joy in having social media accounts and often prefer solitude. Cherishing the company of loved ones, I embrace my uniqueness and feel proud of being true to myself.
@@ChillLikeDatCJthe internet can be a very lonely place even interacting with people it’s not the same as being around people
Same thing man. Even though I enjoy being on my own, birthdays on my own and so on. I do have that urge for company at times.
While many prefer solitude, people need people, some just more or less than others, and to express themselves and be heard and seen.
This mf didnt get anything
Well for some it was a place for creativity but he has other outlets for that and he would likely just be stalked on there as he is in real life too plus people impersonate him online too all unpleasant things.
Keanu Reeves deserves more appreciation for his work in the film industry
You think he wants that? People praising and worshiping him? Did you even watch the video? Keanu is just a guy enjoying his life and enjoying what he does. He's happy if he can bring enjoyment to people through his movies. That's enough for him.
More? Isn’t he one of the most famous actors ever and everyone always applauds his kindness and humbleness
thanks you for your love and support for me, how long have you been my fan?
He Wants HIS PRIVACY!!!!
He Wants to KEEP His PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE!!!!
I love when they tell their story through interview cuts. Amazing editing
Trey what do you mean
Yeah I noticed that and it's really cool how they edited it like that.
You know, rewatching his work and learning how his first relationship fell apart and he never got to have a family, yet still keeping so restraint with his work, shows how in a way, the roles of Reeves are basically his story. Showing that no amount of fame, will hide that he's really all alone, for several years.
Well... he does have a long-term partner, who started as a friend, whom he kept out of the spotlight for ages too...
I don't know that he's actually so very alone. He's private. Not the same thing.
That Partner is NOT A.G. They were Business Partners.
That All they were!!!
AS IN WERE!!!
@@SPITFIRE701 Is that... meant to be directed to me? Do you mean Alexandra Grant? Because (though actually 4 years isn't super long-term) they are definitely together. They've both separately spoken about it on record and have appeared on red carpets together where they've at least once been photographed kissing. What more do you want?
You can edit comments, too, in case you don't know. Multiple ones aren't needed for emphasis 🙂
A while back I realised that Keanu Reeves is essentially a light reflection of Roman Polanski. Keanu also lost his wife and child, but unlike Roman he never fell down into becoming a evil man. Infact outside of making "Great films" Polanski has never benefited the world, Keanu meanwhile donates to charities, made his own cancer foundation which helps cancer research, then there also how he helps people in everyday life, doing things like giving them lifts, giving up seats for people and he likes to get to know them.
Polanski made disgusting horror movies I thought Rosemary's baby and The ninth gate for example were just Satan worship films. His daughter was stillborn her Mother was drinking and driving a year later they were not brutally murdered by a cult. I wouldn't make any comparison. I am disgusted with that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood film though recreating history and disrespecting victims like Sharon her friends and Bruce Lee too.
This documentary, or rather, this piece of literal art, is definitely worthy of conveying the content of a unique character like Keanu. Beautiful work Dodford.
An introvert is never lonely. Our own company is always enough.
This is true. I have my most creative moments when I’m alone.
I don't think he's lonely. He's private. There's a difference.
You're absolutely right about what you've said although keep asking why haven't taking time to settle down and get married I left that question for someone who's true and genuine I'm so lonely I want someone besides me peace and love
Keanu is awesome. He was absolutely incredible in Cyberpunk. He will forever be the one and only Johnny Silverhand. Rock on Johnny. Be a Samurai.
Loving Keanu doesn't make you a cultist, it's a trait of human nature
I heard a story where some kid asked to meet Keanu for his Make-A-Wish and Keanu said he'd do it without costing the kid his wish. I'm sorry if you don't think good of him but he is an amazing person
He's not lonely anymore. He's in a relationship and has been for several years, apparently she makes him very happy ❤️ as he deserves. He also has friends who care about him. He's just private.
I'm a full blooded American native female, Cherokee and Irish but He Is Breathtaking, the most humble person I've ever had the pleasure to call a friend, and cares not about money for he helps all people that needs it, therefore he's the most beautiful person inside and out, and will be closer to a complete gentleman more than anyone in this world, and he loves animals, therefore he's the total breathtaking package, His girlfriend is the luckiest lady in this world. I send him much honor love and respect.
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤️❤️
For how long have you been a fan of mine?
Hello Fan. How are you doing? Thank you for being a Fan liking my pages, supporting my dream and career. May God continue to bless you.❤❤
Honestly, I can't blame Keanu to stay out of spotlights for so long after what he's been through and I'm gonna say, John Wick is his comeback moment. It's so iconic, he played it in 4 movies (there's gonna be the fifth one)
I don't think he is lonely or rejected he is frequently seen on motorcycle rides with Gar and others he has a girlfriend he has bandmates he's just a private person that doesn't like being exploited and it's healthy to enjoy being alone and enjoy one's own company anyway. He has a job that requires he be extroverted for interviews and promotions and working with others so some time to himself to recharge should be expected.
Thanks for your unconditional love and support I really appreciate you where are you located
Peace and love ✌️❣️🤟
Look he has to deal with identity theft and stalkers too so why blame him for being somewhat antisocial it's not him with the problem it's those who harass him. People seem to mistake him for characters he's portrayed in films also seems like a dangerous line of work to be in attracts the wrong sort sometimes delusional types expect him to actually be Neo or John Wick? He's nice looking he's multitalented but he's not a computer hacker or assassin etc. I don't think he's stupid either just attractive looking people are often assumed to be stupid all his years of experience in the industry I expect he is quite knowledgeable more so than many of those who comment about him.
Man, I love how you edit these things. So much emotion and character! You should be the one editing those Netflix Documentaries lol. Keep it strong!
Thanks for your kind words and support I'm nothing without fan like you ♥️

The UA-cam algorithm is doing your channel dirty! I mean, your Adam Sandler retrospective absolutely popped off, but your Seinfeld video although 700k isn’t anything to scoff at, comparatively got left in the dust. Your putting out professionally performed and researched work, it’s very impressive and something to be proud of. I know It’s disheartening to see just 70k on your Drew Barrymore video. It’s essential to have the courage to act in spite of bullshit like that; keep moving forward and doing what you love!
Hi
If I ever had the chance, I’d just tell Keanu he’s and Angel and the World is much more complete with him in it
Keanu and Cillian both belong to "i just want to act well and go home" club.
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. Hopefully you and Nerdwriter can do a collab someday and give us a banger for the ages
“I know that the ones who love us will miss us.” that floored me so true and a clear lesson Mr Reeves had learned and can tell us about
Keanu and Johnny Depp are my celebrity role models. Keanu taught me that life isn’t a rush and don’t let negative people upset your flow. Johnny taught me to stay firm in my beliefs despite being faced with disgusting lies. Basically, live my life to the fullest regardless of what others try to do to stop that.
Great video! Always knew he was down to earth and humble, but I didn’t know about his loss and grief. If I ever ran into him on the streets, I’d probably just leave him be. Let Keanu do his thing.
I obviously can't speak for him, (the closest I've ever been to him is going as the "You're breathtaking" meme for Halloween one year) but he actually does seem to sincerely enjoy interacting with his fans (although I would think it usually comes with some awkwardness because he doesn't seem to like to receive praise. Almost in a Buddhist monk sort of way)
He doesn't like the paparazzi, but litterally no one does, they hate themselves and each other, but it's profitable.
I think he just wants to be free to do the good things in the world he is here to do, and can, but fame tends to get in the way, and makes even just taking care of himself difficult
The PAPARAZZI Gets to CARRIED AWAY with Taking photos of him !!! INVADING HIS PRIVACY!!!!
You told this story incredibly well. I love Keanu but I didn't know about the depth behind his character.
Amazing work, Dodford!
Keanu had a big part in my childhood. When I saw people on the internet espousing him like like some perfect figure, it made me sad. I knew that the more people pushed the story of how perfect he was, bigger would be the eventual scandal--true or not--and then suddenly he would be regarded as worse than neutral, something bad.
This documentary is excellent
Hello Fan. How are you doing? Thank you for being a Fan liking my pages, supporting my dream and career. May God continue to bless you.❤
Only a few actors or people are like him and they should be protected at all cost.
"I know that the ones who love us will miss us" very very true.
Keanu is much loved. His kindness is legendary.

I randomly got this video recommended to me and honestly I’m so happy I did. Instantly subscribed after watching it. Amazing job, I’m definitely going back through your other vids and will be tooning in for new ones!
Keep up the excellent work, it's always worth the wait!
Glad you think so!
“Kung-fu science fiction picture” has to be the most interesting and misleading way to describe Matrix.
But also, life has dealt him so much grief and suffering and despite or perhaps because of it, he give so much joy and wealth to the world. Truly a “breathtaking” person.
Peace and love ✌️🤟❣️
He's committed to what he does, he helps people because he wants to, he remains humble in what he does....
It's too hard NOT to like Keanu Reeves!!!
Would love to meet him just to say hello
Hello Fan. How are you doing? Thank you for being a Fan liking my pages, supporting my dream and career. May God continue to bless you.❤
Who agrees?
Keanu (Neo) > Hemsworth + Pitt + Cruise + Depp + Evans + Cavill + Leo + Bale + Gosling (combined)
the last line made me cry even though i knew he was going to say it
The look on Colbert's face when Reeves answers the question is priceless.
My number one most Excellent Action movie of all time Point Break 🤙
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤️

Keanu is a super star with a simple life mentality which makes it all so appealing to wonder who he is outside of the movies. Really appreciate who you told his story 😱
keanu seems like the kind of guy who is too good for this world and will be taken from us far too soon than he should be
Hi
Keanu Reeves the most successful B actor out there
Keanu is someone you can look up to and someone I want to learn more from.
You and the team are unbelievable. Each one of you doing your part to the very best, from the research to the scripting, the editing and final presentation, you can see in the video how perfectly well each of those elements are working together in the background to make this happen.
Looking forward to next months release.
Keanu is the type of guy/actor that Hollywood doesn't deserve! He's just too good for this world!!
Maybe the best editing on UA-cam.
Really really good. How do you source and build the soundtrack and sound effects on these? Do you think it would be possible to do a behind the scenes build up so other editors like myself can get a behind-the-edit look into your processes too?
I Am So Grateful For keanu Reeves For Everything He Has Done
Keanu Reeves His Biggest Popularity In His Life Is The Martix Trilogy And Sad Keanu Picture From Paparazzi And John Wick
Thoes Are the Three Biggest Thing He Has Ever
Love Him All lot Respect So Much Man
This is a super pro level, and incredibly efficiently edited glipse into the life of an amazing person. Well done
Keanu is a great actor and very talented, gentleman, sweet, handsome, lovely man adorable, I love him so much, my Crush, my endless love 💕
You sending love that's very cool well I hope you have a great day cheers and thanks for being a fan 🤟✌️❣️ all my best
Where are you from?
Beautifully done, and deserves so many more eyes on it. You're a master at your craft, and Keanu truly is a gem we do not deserve.
I believe Keanu love the things he love so deep, that nothing in his life is empty. It seems no to haste or lose time. He Just preserve this things for himself. Because important things worth to be preserved...
Peace and love 🤟❣️✌️
I never understood why I was always so drawn to him and his roles until I recently found out we share the same birthday. He is a textbook Virgo and reminds me so much of myself. Private, perfectionist, mysterious, humble and curious about existence. We can certainly be social if we want to but our solitude is so important to us. People can mistake that for depression or sadness when we simply just enjoy our own company more than most. Nothing but love for Keanu!
Loved every minute of this, well done Dodford you deserve all the success coming!
Your story telling is OUT OF THIS WORLD, the end gave me goosebumps bro! Keep smashing these!
Wow. This was really well made. I hope Keanu is at peace within himself.
Keanu is just a precious man and I’m glad he doesn’t have any social media..he keeps to himself, keeps his life private as possible and stay away from all the crazy politics…he just keeps to himself. He’s so loving and humble and not tainted by Hollyweird. I love him for being him and all that he does.❤
Thanks for your continuous love and support towards me ❤️
How long have you been a fan of mine??
Well Keanu is a normal guy, a human being just like other men. Nothing's wrong with his life since beginning till now, everything was just about life growing. That's all.
Dod you raise the standards higher with every single video. This was breathtaking man
I have to stay alive at least 20 more years to see what kind of roles Keeanu will be given then.
Love Keanu
You've outdone yourself again Danny, Big up to the team
It always seems to come to it that those who don't want fame are the ones most deserved of it. And in Keanu's case, I feel him pushing that fame away and showing that none of it matters, as we're all just people, is what draws people in.
One thing I hope to do in my career is work on a production of his, because he definitely has had an effect on me growing up through his work.
I find it odd that people thought his acting was bad in Dracula, I love that movie and appreciate ever but of it.
Still one of the best Vampire / werewolf films to this day!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the best intro have ever seen!!! The time spent on that 😢
Absolutely stunning editing ability and a fantastic story I hope Keanu sees this my new friend. And I also know you’re going places w that those skills.
I love how respectful this was. Maybe beacause he is so respectable or maybe it's thanks to the way you put everything together... Probably both 🎉
thanks for your beautiful response here and it really make me happy to hear that from you.
and I hope you don't mind I will like to speak with you on my private mail hope you don't mind okay..
Have you been shadow banned or something??? I'm shocked that this video and your last have so little views.
Please never stop making these types of videos
He came with his long time partner to our town couple weeks ago. Its so nice to see him traveling and visiting areas like any other normal person.
Really love the way you crafted this to reflect Keanu himself, his meditation was, his simplicity. In an attention economy rewarding sensation, I really appreciated this tasteful piece. Thank you!

Have you thought about doing Johnny Depp next??
Thank for your love care and support it’s my pleasure talking to you here where are you from?
Hello
fantastic video, told a story and showed his human side without being pretentious about it, human. great shit, subbed
This is fu*king breathtaking work Dodford 🔥
just incredible putting this story together. Keanu has led an interesting life and you've had the talent to put that all together. brought a tear to my eye
Absolutely brilliant structure and video bro. I love your theme of grief.
Like i said on twitter, I wanted to let yk that many ppl wont know the word "enigma" (i had to look it up), and i feel it would benefit you a lot to make it more comprehendable
The ad placement is absolutely incredible🔥🔥
Great editing and hard work appreciate it ❤
EXCELLENT!!❤❤
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤️
For how long have you been a fan of mine?
It's not a cult, it's a like minded group of people who adore someone to remain happy and spread the joys he brings with his aura.
Love these mini documentary’s. But your thumbnails are particularly brilliant.
Keanu may not always be the best actor in Hollywood, but he is always the best person in Hollywood.
to be honest the 1999 matrix dropping, and then his girlfriend miscarriage then dying is kinda sus.........

The man is overcelebrated. He doesn't deserve it. We failed to take his lessons in humility.
The intro was awesome! Not the music or jump cuts. But the carefully selected frames with people talking in it.
