The Matrix

The Matrix film by the Wachowski brothers was a very interesting and action packed film. The film had a very talented cast of actors and the plot was very unique. The film had its array of unique characters all with different personalities and styles. The most interesting character to me was Cypher who infact betrayed his friends and join Smith in order to have a luxurious life. The real stars of the film are Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo who are the most heroic and overall cool. The film makes you question our own reality and if this is reality. Are we living in a matrix or a reality? These are some good questions that come up when you really think about the film. If you were Neo which pill would you have taken? This is another question in which I think about after watching the film. The Matrix is also similar to Allegory of the Cave in which it shows Neo who is similar to the slave and who is thought to believe that the wall he stares at is reality. One day Neo chooses to leave out of this so called reality like the slave and he sees the real world or the “matrix” and sees everything clearer. He believes he is “the one”. The film made me wonder if this is a reality we all live in or are we thought to believe this is real. Are we like Neo and the slave? Are we staring at a wall but don’t follow the noises? This film is a phenomenal film and the questions it left me with are what I look for in a movie. I would give this film a 3 and a half out of 4 stars and the action scenes are awesome as well as the characters is very video game like and is an interesting style. The fight scenes are reminiscent of old fighting games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. If you have never seen this movie you must see it now!
