Unsolved Possibilities in Knock Knock (2015): What If Keanu Reeves Had Taken Different Actions?
Keanu Reeves in 'Knock Knock'
When Keanu Reeves played the role of Paul in the 2015 film 'Knock Knock,' he had a few unconventional alternatives that could have led to a very different storyline. This article explores these possibilities, focusing on how Keanu Reeves might have reacted if faced with different choices in the film.
Possible Scenario 1: Public Offer of Ride
As Paul, Keanu Reeves was initially unresponsive when the girls, Bel and Genesis, asked for a ride. However, what if he had offered to take them somewhere? This action could have opened a window of opportunity for Keanu to learn more about the girls and possibly react in a more strategic way.
Sub-Scenario: Getting Home and Preparing
Instead of simply saying no, what if he had driven them home and, after ensuring their safety, prepared himself with a gun? This pre-emptive preparation could have helped him in several ways, including being ready with the necessary tools to deal with any potential threats.
Possible Scenario 2: Immediate Police Involvement
The moment Keanu heard the initial crash, what if he had immediately called the police rather than relying on locking the door and tying up Bel?
Sub-Scenario: Making Direct Contact with Authorities
By directly contacting the police, Keanu could have alerted them to the situation, giving them valuable information that could have led to their quick apprehension, thus preventing further harm. This proactive step could have also served as a deterrent, signaling to the girls that he was serious about protecting his home and family.
Possible Scenario 3: Immediate Anticipation and Preparedness
Instead of waiting until he was free from the bed, what if Keanu had immediately anticipated the girls’ actions and prepared accordingly?
Sub-Scenario: Ensuring Safety Early
The first step after freeing himself could have been to call the police or even ask his wife (if she was at home) for help. Additionally, he could have armed himself with a weapon right from the start, ensuring he had the means to protect himself and his wife effectively.
Possible Scenario 4: Overpowering and Escaping
When Keanu pushed Bel away, he could have used more force to end the threat. Similarly, if he had come across Genesis in the hallway, he could have punched her face in, effectively neutralizing the threat. These actions might have turned the tide of the situation.
Sub-Scenario: Logical and Physical Responses
Besides physical violence, what if Keanu had reasoned with them but quickly realized they were mentally unstable? His next step could have been to subdue them by any means necessary to ensure the safety of his home and his wife. Given the events, this could have been a logical and necessary action to take.
Aftermath and Reflection
Considering the chaos and subsequent events, what if Keanu had calmly explained the scenario to his wife in the morning, showing her the signs and the work done to address and protect the home? His wife, if rational and empathetic, would likely see that the actions taken were due to a need to safeguard the family, not from any malice.
In conclusion, while Keanu Reeves’ actions in 'Knock Knock' resulted in a spine-chilling sequence of events, alternative actions could have provided different outcomes. From offering a ride to immediately securing the home with a firearm and calling the police, these different paths might have led to a safer resolution for Keanu and his wife. The film raises important questions about preparedness, safety, and the limits of rational responses in chaotic situations.
