Another pithy rejoinder: "Dangerous Liaisons"

I think OSC is full of crap. A true actor shouldn't remind you he's not the character he's playing. Reeves fails at this a lot. Even in the Matrix movies, say, you can tell there's flashes where he thinks, "Whoa! I'm not Neo, i'm Keanu!", whereas Carrie Anne Moss is Trinity, always.

Ian McKellen acts with his eyes. Keanu? I guess he has eyes....
