A group of movie stills of Keanu Reeves from Man of Tai Chi has been released. Keanu’s stills are compelling and they are very different from those we have sen in the past. In these stills, he appears col and sinister.
It is no secret that Keanu Reeves plays a super villain in Man of Tai Chi. His clothing and his Yinhen eyes impart a competence to his character that is different from Keanu’s image that we have seen in the past. It is reported that his role is very evil and he plays a ‘devil’ and ‘dark master’ who seeks to destroy Tai Chi. The producers said that his villain character does not have the most scenes in the film but he provides important clues that contribute to the development of the whole story. With respect to Keanu’s role, Chen Hu said, “I was holding the hand of the devil as he led me step by step towards the abyss. It was not the kind of force that would be used to kill the villain, but the kind that would cause you to lose your soul and cease to live.”
Keanu Reeves is the ultimate big BOSS of the film whose goal is to test human nature and kill the game. Reeves revealed that Tai Chi Man is not a black and white contest between good and evil, nor is it the simple heroism of salvation, but a special “kill the game” reality show. Money is put before human desires that causes humanity to face a severe test. The film official (spokes person) said the film will look at the collision of Western and Eastern cultures. This summer Tai Chi Man will bring a hearty killing war so that in the hot summer we will feel a chill in the air.
