Character: Neo
Movie: The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions
What you'll need:
- Black t-shirt
- Black pants (leather or shiny)
- Long black overcoat/trenchcoat
- Black boots
- The coolest pair of black sunglasses you own
- Guns. Lots of guns.
Throughout the Matrix trilogy, Keanu Reeves inhabits a handful of distinctive outfits, but the Neo that most moviegoers remember is the geared up gunslinger from the first movie who storms an office building to save his mentor, Morpheus. This is another very simple, yet instantly recognizable, costume; all you need is a healthy collection of black clothing, a pair of dark, fancy-looking shades, and a long black coat. If you've got all of these squared away, the truth is that the guns aren't even entirely necessary, as most people will get the effect. Slick back your hair, brush up on your Zen philosophy, adopt your best blank Keanu stare and become The One.
Classic line: "I know kung fu."
