Keanu Reeves Reflects on Life-Changing Impact of The Matrix as Film Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Keanu Reeves, who gained widespread fame with the hit film The Matrix, recently discussed how the movie profoundly impacted his life, according to a report by Variety. As The Matrix marks its 25th anniversary this year, Reeves reflected on its significance. “The Matrix changed my life, and over the years, it has positively affected so many others. As an artist, that’s what you hope for when you make a film or tell a story,” he shared.
Reeves also mentioned the numerous people he has encountered who have expressed how much the movie meant to them. “Throughout these years, I’ve met so many people who have been touched by The Matrix in a positive way… It’s the best.”
Before The Matrix was released, Reeves was already a recognized actor thanks to his roles in films like Speed, Point Break, and My Own Private Idaho. However, the 1999 film by the Wachowski sisters propelled him to international stardom and cemented his status as an action movie icon. Reeves played Neo in The Matrix and reprised the role in three sequels: The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Matrix Revolutions (2003), and The Matrix Resurrections (2021).
Regarding his return as Neo after an 18-year break, Reeves recounted, “When the director asked me about doing another Matrix film, I said, ‘What? That sounds amazing, but I’m dead.’ She replied, ‘Are you?’ and I said, ‘Do tell!’ She wrote a beautiful story, and I love playing the character. How I am alive will all be explained,” reported Variety.
The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction action film written and directed by the Wachowski sisters.
