This is a news series available on Helloooo Newman only.
I'll discuss high profile jobs that I want and could perform as well, or much better than, the person who actually does the job.
This instalment: John Wick.
Canada's own Keanu Reeves plays an ex-assassin (John Wick, obviously) who keeps coming back for more fun and death.
In John Wick: Chapter Two, my favourite scene lasts about 4 minutes. Riveting as it is, Keanu's dialogue for the entire scene is:
"Yes"
Imagine being the dialogue coach.
Keanu: Line!!
Coach: Ah what? Oh, line. YES!
Keanu: Line? What's my line?
Coach: YES!
Keanu: No
Coach: No, it's YES!
Keanu: Yes or no? Which is it?
Coach: I'm taking the blue pill right now
Why do I think I could perform this scene better? Well, as Keanu says "YES", he tilts his head, but he tilts it the wrong way. Totally wrong way given the scene, what came before, the subtext and the number of people's heads that are blown off. I would do a swivel and a tilt to the left. But that's me. Different schools.
Plus I would change the character name.
Herbie Clawson. Much better ring to it.
