{5\/5} “There is no spoon.”<\/p>\n
Neo is a hacker who knows that something’s wrong with the world. He’s approached by some mysterious people, Trinity and Morpheus, who say they can tell him the truth about the world — if he’s ready to hear it. The truth is that he’s been living in the Matrix, a computer program intended to keep humans under control. In the real world Neo and everyone else are asleep, living in pods, generating electricity for the machines.<\/p>\n
The Matrix<\/strong> was released in 1999. It’s one of my favourite movies and I’ve seen it 4 or 5 times.<\/p>\n The movie grabs you from the opening scene and doesn’t let go. If you haven’t seen it, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n At the beginning you’re wondering what the deal is with this strange world, and what the Matrix is. You get the answer about a quarter of the way through, and then you’re wondering how they’re going to defeat the machines.<\/p>\n Some parts of the movie are action packed and other parts are full of fascinating ideas. It’s a serious story, but there’s some humour.<\/p>\n I usually find fight scenes boring but the ones in this movie are exciting.<\/p>\n It’s visually stunning, and elements like “bullet time” have been copied in many other movies. The characters are very stylish when they’re in the Matrix — you’ll feel like wearing an all-black outfit afterwards.<\/p>\n The mysterious music is by Don Davis (Bound<\/strong>). The song at the end is “Wake Up” by Rage Against the Machine.<\/p>\n
