Either that or it's my personal choice for best film of all-time.
What is the Matrix, you ask? Something that's closer to reality than you think. 3 nameless-scream-3-howie-scream.mp3 oh-yeah.mp3 3 mp310.mp3 hh.mp3 gabba.mp3 3 3 CHORD. note when they finished the script saying: THINK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT YOUR EXISTENCE. The Wachowski brothers probably scribbled a little P.S. People will say what they want to say about how good The Matrix is but the bottomline is this: finally there's a philosophical film that has cut through this generation. His character, battle-scarred but always composed Morpheus, is given an extra dose of mortality (He loves Neo to a fault.) only Mr. Fishburne is simply wicked! Shades of his mentor-role in Higher Learning, nobody exudes that aura of quiet intensity than Mr. But, come to think of it, if you pit any actor beside Laurence Fishburne, you're bound to confuse that actor for bad acting. (I bet if you had to cut every frame on the reel and had it developed and printed, every single frame would stand on its own.) And the acting? Maybe not the best Keanu Reeves but name me an actor who has box-office appeal but could portray the uneasy and vulnerable protagonist, Neo, to a T the way Reeves did. The kung-fu sequences were deftly shot - something even Bruce Lee would've been proud of. The script, written by the Wachowski brothers is intelligent but carefully not geeky. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-ve, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. But what makes The Matrix several cuts above the rest of the films in its genre is that there are simply no loopholes. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. Not only did we sit in awe as Neo evaded those bullets in limbo-rock fashion, we salivated. Not only did we want to cheer on the heroes to victory, we wanted them to bludgeon the opposition. With The Matrix, both elements are perfectly en sync. (Or nobody simply cared about anything.) There a few, though, which aroused interest and intellect but nobody 'ooh'-ed or 'aah'-ed at the special effects. It supports ZIP, ZIPX, 7Z, RAR, ISO, MSI, VHD, GZIP, BZIP2,TAR, RAR5, DMG, LZMA, LZMA2.
There have been a lot of visually stunning works but nobody cared about the hero. Bitser is free Windows software for managing archives and backups. Hollywood has had some problems combining form and matter in the sci-fi genre. The story of a reluctant Christ-like protagonist set against a baroque, MTV backdrop, The Matrix is the definitive hybrid of technical wizardry and contextual excellence that should be the benchmark for all sci-fi films to come.
