I am certain that many of you are familiar with a number of films within Keanu Reeves' rather extensive repertoire. Yet, for those of you who are not, I am undeniably, for Keanu Reeves happens to be my most endearing Muse. This week, I shall be mentioning three unique characters of Keanu Reeves, who I feel are also romantic characters, as well.

One of these unique characters is the sensually appealing and gorgeous, “Neo”, in “The Matrix” trilogy films. Now, amidst all of the phenomenal martial arts and action scenes which were a significant part of these films, there was an incredible love story, also. The “Neo” and “Trinity” characters were so intensely in love that I wouldn’t be surprised at how many people saw such a love story as unbelievable.

Of course, I did not approve of Keanu’s scintillating “Neo” character (with his memorably sexy, Asian-styled fashionable attire) being killed off. But, eventually, I came to understand that “Neo” simply could not envision a life without “Trinity”; for, it was as though he had died inside when she predeceased him a very short time before his own death. Yes, this was indeed, quite a tragic and bittersweet love story.

The next unique romantic character of Keanu Reeves which I have selected is “Shane Falco” in “The Replacements”. Now, perhaps some of you might say, “What? A has-been football hero. How could he be a romantic character?" Yet, I do view "Shane Falco" as a definite romantic character. Not only was “Shane Falco” cute, shy, and vulnerable. But, once he saw the girl of his dreams, he went for her in a big way. Though, he did have a few fumbles along the way (my romantic football-pun; bear with me).

His love interest, head cheerleader, “Annabelle Farrell”, was portrayed by the relatively unknown actress, Brooke Langton. Yes, I do understand that the captain of the football team and head cheerleader romance is such a droll cliche...although this romance occurred in the professional football arena. But, it worked, even though “Shane Falco” received the brush-off a couple of times before his lady love decided to give their eventual relationship a chance. It was so easy to see that she had been hurt by other quarterbacks in the recent past (the jerk “Martell” character; in particular) and was taking all her resentment out on him. Nonetheless, true love won in the end. Perhaps now, you may understand why I consider Keanu’s, “Shane Falco”, as a romantic character.

And the most beloved favorite (of mine), and epitome of the romantic hero, is the unforgettably sexy and breathtakingly cutie pie male, Keanu Reeves' character, “Jack Traven”, of the 1994 mega-blockbuster hit, “Speed”. Now, I have never had any fantasies of being rescued by any gentleman (even if I do refer to my endearing Muse, Keanu, as my knight in shining armor). Just see him on a horse, and you will get my drift. Yet, if I ever felt such an inclination, “Jack Traven” would have been precisely the gentleman that I would have selected for just such a purpose. I mean, Keanu’s “Jack Traven”, could be counted upon to rescue a fair lady each, and every time, she was somehow placed in harm’s way.

I do honestly admit that I would have wanted this romantic character not to be so easy to catch by his female counterpart. But, although this may be considered a stereotypical query, what else can be expected of most gentlemen? A female that he has only known for a few hours offers a sexual, no-strings attached affair, and he agrees readily; and even gives her the power over him to do as she wishes. That is the only behavioral facet which I find unattractive in this epically romantic hero character.

And before anyone gets offended, allow me to remind you that we happen to be living in an age where sexually-transmitted diseases are rampant (and some; quite deadly). So, do understand that I am coming from a truly realistic perspective. What do you expect from someone with an extensive background in Psychology? Overall, however, “Jack Traven” fits my bill as one of Keanu’s most unique and romantic characters in his more than 30-year long career as an actor.
