The Shanghai Daily has posted their interview with Keanu Reeves for the Man of Tai Chi release. The piece is in English and it gives some of the best insight into the film that i have read yet with respect to the tai chi aspect and the good vs. evil theme.
Here are some interesting quotes from the piece.
“One of the things tai chi offered as is great storytelling in dualities, yin and yang,” Reeves said. “In the film, you have the dark master himself, who is the villain and the light master Chen, who incorporates light and dark and is in balance.
“We also talk about balance in the film and the integrations of past traditions and modern-day practice.”
When asked about directing again, Keanu said,””I just have to find a story, I don’t have a story yet. I always want to do something different.”
