Today, we wish a happy sixty-first birthday to the one and only Keanu Reeves!

Today’s scene that I love comes from the film that made Keanu an icon for a whole generation of moviegoers who had blocked The Matrix sequels from their collective memories, John Wick.  In this scene, Keanu explains that it wasn’t just a dog that he lost.

There’s not a pet owner in the world who doesn’t understand exactly what John Wick is saying here.  And it must be said that Keanu, who has definitely grown a good deal as an actor over the years, really sells the emotions in this scene.
