The Matrix (dir. Larry and Andy Wachowski, 1999)

Many times I have felt a little disappointed because I was doing my GCSEs at the time, I missed the opportunity to see the matrix for the first time in a theater. You can not look as impressive now, but in 1999 I still remember how much I was blown away by Neo bending backwards to avoid the bullets in slow motion (followed by Trinidad as satisfying final note, this Dodge! '). The matrix was a game changer in the field of special effects, but more importantly, he also had a strong history full of attractive characters as strong, both men and women who made a movie stand-out in a very good year (which also included The Sixth Sense, The Mummy, Being John Malkovich and one of my favorite movies of all time, Galaxy Quest. We will not hold against The Phantom Menace).

I therefore limit myself to discussing only the matrix itself in this post - the two suites, but perhaps not as bad as you remember, probably missing something, maybe the context.

The Matrix combines a lot of different elements of the combination, including at least two different mythologies - I say "at least two," because I know that has a strong impact on Asian cinema, but I know next to nothing in the Far East (in contrast with the Middle East) mythology. The two largest western influence, although clearly the greek mythology-Roman and Judeo-Christian. Judeo-Christian mythology, one might say that the greatest impact on all, because it offers a story (a boy dies, comes back from the dead, save the world) of Zion, the name of Nebuchadnezzar ship, after the biblical dreamer, a thematic exploration of faith and doubt). Greek-Roman myth, however, also plays an important role.
