Man of Tai Chi (2013) – 2018-01-08 05:47:47
I'm amazed As for the movie, I really enjoyed the temptation motif and that it had this philosophy behind the storyline. But what really struck me was Keanu Reeves as Donaka Mark. For me, this is Keanu's most believable character of a villain so far (chronologically speaking). Maybe it is due to him being a director of the film, so he knew what he wanted from the very beginning, I don't know, but here he truly convinced me he WAS the bad guy. Perfect!

so real Since I started my quest to see as many of Keanu's movies as possible I could as well say something :) The portrayal of an alcoholic's family in this movie is so real! A variety of coping mechanisms of different family members are shown. And as I know some people who lived through a similar experience of living with an alcoholic I can say these are actually pretty real ways people behave in a situation like this. The film has a lot to say even today when alcoholism is considered a problem beyond the moral weakness. As for Keanu, I think he comes across as a very believable character, especially when the father dies and he does not know what to do or at the very end. Brilliant!
