Video Production Feb. 4, 2001 The conspicuous film, The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving and directed by Andy Wachowski was a successful film with unforgettable action. The genre of The Matrix is science fiction/ action. It contains constant kung-fu fighting and always leaves you at the edge of your seat. It is also science fiction since it takes place in the year 2306, where humans no longer control the world, instead machines do. The Matrix fits its genre suitably and keeps you entertained from beginning to end.
Keanu Reeves starrs as Neo, the computer hacker who is seeking the answer to the question, what is the matrix? His search leads him to the wise Morphius who explains to Neo the illusion of the so-called reality. The world he is in is the Matrix, it is computer generated world made by the machines, the machines control the humans and keep them in place. Morphius offers Neo a chance to unplug from the Matrix and go into the real world and Neo takes to offer. Neo is now in the real world and must fight for his life against the inhuman government agents who are no one, but everyone as Morphius quotes. Morphius is led to believe that Neo is the one to save the human race and defeat the agents, yet Neo doesnt believe in himself. Neo doesnt believe in fate, he doesnt like the idea that he isnt in control of his own life. Eventually, he becomes strong and believes that he is the one and defeats the government agents and falls in love with the courageous Trinity.
The Essay on Brave New World Vs Matrix
Since the begging of humanity, mankind tries to predict the soon to be future. Many scientific books and movies thrilled readers and viewers with visions of the future world. The book "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and the movie "Matrix" directed by The Wachowski Brothers tried to put forth-such views. The strongest theme in both the book and the movie was the idea that as humanity progresses ...
By defeating the agents Neo is one step closer to helping save the The Matrix is interesting because it plays with the idea of real and illusion, it is also unique in this way. No film has ever questioned, how do we know the difference between the dream world and the real world? This movie lets us explore and ponder on that question and if it could really happen. Us being introduced to this new idea is what makes the film engaging, we wonder whether this could really happen or be happening to us. It is a striking movie since we could easily relate to the reactions and choices all The characters in the movie are all unique in personality, but they all have one similarity. The similarity that brought them to the real world, which is curiosity. Each character is unique in their own way.
Morphius has a way with words, he easily persuades anyone. He is experienced and wise, and doesnt give in too easily. Neo on the other hand is determined and doesnt give up on anyone or anything. He likes being in control of his own life and is always unsure of everyone or anything. Trinity is not as determined but is intelligent and very serious. The inhuman government agent are monotone and have no feeling, they are basically life-less.
Their power is way out of Morphiuss control but the only power they dont have it the power to leave the matrix. They try to gain that power from Morphius and everyone else. The characters fulfill their role suitably but not as good as it could have been. For example, there could have been more scenes showing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Neo (Keanu Reeves) falling in love, because them falling in love seemed too sudden, like they barely knew eachother. Although, Morphius (Laurence Fishburne) played his role as Neos guide very well. He was very wise and was with Neo every step of the way. Sipher (Hugo Weaver) was the one who betrayed the group so he could go back to the matrix.
He even killed two of the people who where in the group. Weaver played his role well because from the beginning we can already see that he doesnt like the real world, he rather be in the matrix. This foreshadows that he will betray the group. Visually, the movie is great, everything is very clear and easily understood. Everything throughout the movie is clear, it doesnt jump from one place to another like some movie do. The costumes and make up are also well done. When the characters are in the matrix they have black shiny and futuristic clothes. When they are in the real world, they have ugly rags on.
The Term Paper on The Matrix Real World
THE MATRIX April 2 nd, 1999 Director/Writer: Andy & Larry Wachowski Producer: Joel Silver & Barrie M. Osborne Music: Don Davis What is considered to be a great movie? I think all movies are, in there own way, great. Practically all movies are created y following certain elements. These basic elements are as follows: story, writing, drama, acting, sound, editing, movement, and ...
By doing this, one can easily tell when the characters are in the matrix or in the real world. Next, there are really interesting shots. When ever there was some kind of fighting, it was usually in slow motion, which made it interesting and unique. There are also at least three shots where you look at a scene through a reflection. For example, when we were looking at Neo through the reflection of Morphiuss sun glasses, or when we were looking at him through reflection of a spoon and also a car Music goes well with the genre, it is all techno and rock. This makes you really feel like it is an action movie.
The sound effects during the combat fighting are sufficient The purpose of the filmmaker for making this movie is to get the audience thinking if this could really happen to us or if it did. He is trying to get the audience to wonder, are we in the matrix right now and dont even know it? The best aspect of this movie it that it is unique, no movie like this has ever been made. That is what makes it so engaging, the audience wants to learn about the matrix. They are just as curious as Neo is. They are with him every step of then way, completely glued to the movie screen. The audience loves the suspense.
In conclusion, this movie is one of my favorite movies. It is stimulating and leaves you thinking a long time after the movie is over. One should see it because although I dislike sci-fi movies, yet this one I like. I recommend it to anyone who want to explore a different type of movie or who just wants to see some awesome kung-fu
