Keanu Reeves solidified her comedy chops beyond “ Bill & Ted ” in this surprisingly meager and nasty dramatic
It is difficult to find someone who is not aware of at least one Keanu Reeves film, as he made a name for classic cult films like The matrix franchise, THE Devil’s lawyer,, Speed,, Breakand action films that are always so popular with John Wick. In the midst of the actor’s ability to assume serious, rigorous and intense roles that require training on firearms and combat, Reeves is not opposed to lighter and comic roles.
Reeves is also known for the 19-loved science fiction comedy film Bill & Ted’s excellent adventure And with Ali Wong‘s Always be my. His latest role will be like a low -ranking angel in Chance; And while fans see a lighter side in Reeves, he has certainly done a very good job in the dramatic genre of comedy in comedy Wedding at destination next to Winona Ryder.
What is the “destination marriage” about?
The 2018 film is a dry and offbeat romantic dramatic which brought together Reeves and Ryder for their fourth pairing on the screen. Written and directed by Victor Levin, the film strips the genus Rom-Com to his naked bones, literally concentrating almost entirely on two characters. Reeves plays Frank, a cynical and anti-social man reluctantly assisting the marriage of his half-brother to Paso Robles Wine Country; Ryder plays the role of Lindsay, a lively and equally disillusioned woman who happens to be the ex-fiancée of the groom. From the moment they meet at the airport, it is clear that Frank and Lindsay are not the typical film lovebirds – they confront each other quickly and realize that they both head towards the same marriage. During the weekend and a deep conversation, they prove more than expected, Transform a reluctant company into something more.
“ Destination marriage ” is a realistic romance with a humor full of spirit
What makes Reeve Wedding at destination The work as well as a comedy is that it is not the story of cliché love or the romance that turns the head often seen in a film for life. It’s real, raw, incredibly resonant, And above all, about two people who are like oil and water but mix in a way to create a valid relationship.
What distinguishes it is how the two characters are shamelessly thorny; None of the two is particularly friendly at first glance, but refreshing, the film does not try to soften them with great romantic gestures or montages. It has a form of dry and earth-to-earth humor that thrives on clumsy breaks (without any romantic salted ballad in the background), sarcastic blows and brutally honest conversations. There is nothing like looking at Reeves to become overwhelmed by the character of Ryder at the airport and very obviously move away from her before being called on such a movement. Reeves and Ryder seem to exist in their own little world Wedding at destination,, Where there are no sparks or forced gags or twists and turns, only the personalities of two people really come up against, which wins its fair share of laughter. The comedy aspect between the two actors comes from immobility. Long sockets, clumsy silence and persistent photos that allow the sarcasm to linger and punchlines strike stronger.
The film is naturally based on his comedy – in the same way as a couple that has been together for years bickering and laughing at others. There is a scene to one of the marriage events where the character of Reeves tells Ryder that he is selfish that people believe that their life will be so different from the errors that someone else has made and that sorrow is useless. Be careful, the character of Ryder was once engaged to the groom, and in a comic break, she does not take offense but simply says: “It helps, thank you.” Reeve answers: “no problem”, without missing a beat.
It is these strangely bizarre, confusing but understandable conversations that make the film Comedic in its own way. Wedding at destination Do not glorify sex scenes either, But it is better for the public to look at themselves and think: “Wow, it was not at all sexy”, but was it supposed to be?
Keanu Reeves provides effortless humor in the “destination marriage”
Bill & Ted Was the beginning of Reeve’s actor’s career, where he played a good good, but when he ventured into more serious roles, The public grew up to know him as an actor done for the kind of action. Always be my And Chance helped the public to review Reeves in his comic element, but a perfect testimony of his abilities is Wedding at destination. For this particular dramatic, Reeves is based on its bone drying delivery, its pointed timing and its almost theatrical back and forth with Ryder Without feeling grandiose or exaggerated. His discreet approach perfectly completes Ryder’s faster and more neurotic energy. Together, they create a rhythm that even transforms the most advanced arguments into comic gold, proving that sometimes the funniest moments come from two people who simply speak. You can’t help but laugh about how a normally romantic scenario in any other movie presents itself as robotics when Reeves delivers a line.
An excellent example is when his character Frank describes how Lindsay is attractive thanks to the golden ratio, before quoting a complicated mathematical equation. He describes how his facial features have the folds of Aphrodite And describes them nonchalantly without too much merit. It is a simple fact: there is no romantic nuance, and Reeves makes it convincing. He considers love as an obstacle, Ryder being just as realistic as him, but with a more carefree charm, And it works. Wedding at destination is one of the best in Reeve when it comes to understanding how he tackles the kind of comedy between all the roles full of action in his career. Comedic Reeves a little bizarre, ironic, full of spirit and dry, but on all this is a subtle warmth which makes his humor feel human rather than performative or scripted.
