The acclaimed actor then went on to add that, as he has issues related to his past, including his mother and father, “I think about death."
Talking about the philosophical side in his novel, the 47 Ronin actor stated that he might not understand the violence that the real world is gripped with. He opened up, stating that although people know that we are going to die, we still keep killing each other over things that are not of much importance.
Reeves then added that he thinks of the wonders in the world about how we all got here, asking himself, “Who are we?”
Further talking about the role of technology in human life, Reeves added that he doesn't understand the meaning of rushing to leave this planet and be digitized in the future. He continued that instead of all of this digitization, he wonders about love and the power that it holds.
