The Watcher
One sentence — the core idea.

The Watcher (2000). Keanu Reeves was FORCED to make that movie. His signature on the contract was “forged” by his own manager. And he signed an agreement to not disclose that “forged signature situation” till a year later. He had to make that role of a serial killer, kidnapping and torturing to death young women.
Maybe he thought he was out of the humiliation ritual since he did a GAY movie with River Phoenix “My Own Private Idaho” (1991), extremely gay shit, and look how River Phoenix ended, the same career path as Heath Ledger. These weird broken people know all of these things, they know. By surviving and shrugging off these brutal humiliation public rituals, they show “toughness, resilience and loyalty” wich allow them to climb high into this “stardom” pyramid of power
