Keanu Reeves:
A symbol of outer beauty and inner
emptiness, Keanu Reeves represents the mortal conflict between earthly
gratification (the Speed drive) and spiritual enlightenment (the way of
The Little Buddha). His abstract counterpart in the symbolic realm is
the empty circle. Note that the dreamer compliments Reeves on his acting
ability, an absurdity that lays bare her own desire for
stardom.
