The Matrix

1999

‘You’re trying to tell us that our science-fiction action movie will always be at the top and can dodge any film that challenges it?’

‘No Wachowski’s—when “The Matrix” is ready, it won’t have to.’

‘…’ 

‘I mean, there’s this one guy, Nolan, he’ll make something pretty similar that “The Matrix” might have to share the top spot with, but you’ll always be the ones who planted the flag!’

I’ve seen 3 films shot by Bill Pope on the big screen this year; no one shoots action like he did (I’m only saying ‘did’, because, you know… “Quantumania”)!

Only thing I enjoy more than conspiracy and paranoia is philosophical science-fiction, and the Wachowski’s blend ALL of it together in such an amazing stew! The ideas, the rules, the belief in the power of belief; it’s no wonder that the Red Pill/Blue Pill argument has remained such a prevalent one! 

Just incredible filmmaking and storytelling!
