Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton are the best in. the game, they make guest feel comfortable and that's when the interviews are more genuine, with that been said Laurence Fishburne is an amazing actor, the Tine Turner biopic, Boyz in the hood, hoodlum, king of NY, Deep cover, etc etc

Without Fishburn, the Matrix wouldn't have been as good I credit the success of the Matrix to actors like Hugo Weaving (smith), Laurence Fishburne (morpheus) Pantaliano (cypher) and a really amazing supporting cast. Keanu and Carrie were not that spectacular, but they did a decent job.

Agreed Peter. I think the latest Matrix would have been infinitely better if they had included Weaving and Fishburne into it.

@hoebywan 2 жыл бұрын

People under-estimate how important Keanu's performance was to The Matrix. He is that low key everyman, accessible avatar of an actor. He carried us through, letting us believe we could be him. Get a actor who is too charismatic or macho and it wouldn't have worked. He was the perfect protagonist for The Matrix.

@@KevinMuldoon Nope, the main problem was not going with the elevated dialogue and such character actors like the original, as the Merovingian said in Ressurections. It's also ridiculous to knock down Keanu and Carrie when most of the audience remember the action scenes

@@vb8428 Of course, what i meant is if you have a main role, you are likely to be in the majority of the scenes, hence your presence on set is required to a far greater degree than someone in a lesser supporting role. If you are shooting a movie, you have a relatively "lax" schedule usually. If you on the other hand are shooting a TV series with 20 plus episodes per season, you are against the clock constantly.

@PlacidDragon 2 жыл бұрын

Seeing that both roles are rather iconic, i cannot imagine that the studio didn't offer them the parts in the first place. Maybe they didn't want to do it ? Weaving (Smith) is "only" 61, and Fishburne is 60 (Keanu is 57 and Carrie Ann Moss is 54), so its probably not age related.

Two days ago I watched 'Knives Out' -not a terrible film but certainly not worthy of all the acclaim it received. Great cast, great acting, great setting (the house), and a plot which drizzled out and lost the necessary tension after about an hour. A missed opportunity at greatness. I watched 'Delicatessen' yesterday which is a faultless classic. Just for the record, did you like 'The Force Awakens?
