Keanu Reeves is as white as Barack Obama. Both had white mothers and fathers “of color”. But people are so familiar with Keanu, they don’t even register it anymore. You may remember that at the beginning of his career there were a whole lot of fru-fru celeb articles trying to pin down his race, with a lot erroneously concluding Native American. But it didn’t matter. He played white roles and was accepted as a white person. That is quite a breakthrough, since just looking at a picture of him, you can tell he is mixed blood. It’s just hard to tell what the mixture is. I think the definition of white in the US is broadening, with a generational shift, to include Polynesians, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, and light skinned races in general. It used to be not even Greeks or Italians were considered white.

Every other site describes it as a fantasy epic. This is where confusion with the futuristic director and Keanu comes from. It isn’t a historical Kurosawa samurai movie. Universal says it wants “Lord of the Rings” meets “Gladiator” meets “300″. I have no idea if they can pull it off, but that is what Universal wants. To me it sounds cool. I like the fantastical elements, but other people are complaining about putting “magic” into the story and just want a historical samurai movie. That sounds dull to me since I’ve already seen that and Hollywood isn’t going to do that better than the Japanese movies that have already tackled it. But the story hasn’t been done as a fantasy epic yet, which is something Hollywood does really well. So I’m looking forward to this version.
