Make no mistake of interpretation of the classic Japanese comic book by the Wachowski Brothers' is a film for children.

If I was 8, I love it. The race and the worlds are bright as plastic toys. The race is action packed with physics that apply only to cars matchbox. The characters are developed enough that adults can find something to participate, and music are very unique race. The world is almost like Las Vegas Strip. Everything is bright, strong and technologically advanced, and is full of strangers.

I give the glory of the Wachowski brothers, doing their own take on this film, and essentially taking the comic and cartoon adaptation to the possible conclusion. As an adult, did not have much to appreciate. I did laugh a few times and it held my interest enough, but it is not a good movie. If you have small children, you probably eat it like a bowl of Count Chocula. The rest of us will eat our total

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.

The audience was loud the Matrix, and fortunately the Wachowskis had always envisioned the saga of the Matrix as a trilogy. The brothers co-wrote two sequels - The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003) - and shot them back to back in Australia.
