The Matrix
As the world's technological capabilities reach increasingly impressive new heights, we are faced with new problems caused by these new technological capabilities. Along with these newfound problems, such as the now infamous Y2K, come the latest futuristic prophecies about the world's damnation due to the new technologies. Thus is the need for, and theory behind the movie Matrix. The Matrix explores unthinkable realms of computer world domination, human cultivation, and a specious reality so profoundly using exceptional writing by brothers Andy and Larry Wachowski. This thought provoking screenplay is based on the premise that cyberspace is becoming far too much the center of our existence. Additionally the Wachowski brothers play on the idea that the line between rea
One's eyes are dazzled incessantly by numerous computer-generated special effects. These ideas are so farfetched and mind-boggling that they lead one to stop for a second to question one's own sense of reality. In addition to the exceptional writing and visual depiction, the Matrix offers commendable acting. In conclusion, Andy and Larry Wachowski combine ingenious writing, innovative filming, and good performances from a well-selected cast, to make The Matrix more than just a movie, but rather an experience. Among these aesthetically pleasing scenes are the action packed martial arts scenes featuring the "always lovable" Keanu Reeves. The audience watches as characters leap buildings and virtually fly in hair- trigger quick movements that Hollywood was incapable of depicting just two or three years ago. While watching The Matrix, the pulse is quickened, the eyes are dazzled, and the brain is twisted beyond recognition several times over. Although one is predetermined to question Reeves' comic book-like kung fu sequences, on must sit back and be amazed by the brothers Wachowski filming methods. The Wachowski's filming methods allow them to slow down sequences to show moves and actions normally made impossible by the laws of physics. Additional scenes depict bullets as they are slowed down to a crawl while the audience takes the vantage of the depth-defying characters dodging these bullets. Additionally, Carrie-Anne Moss gave a respectable performance as Trinity, the behind kicking beauty. These performances coupled with a career- defining performance from Hugo Weaving, the dark suited "Men in Black" detective-type, add a dramatic flair to this already promising movie. Simply put the visual display is indescribable. The Matrix's visual barrage should propel the art of filmmaking into the next millennium.
