I’ve seen The Matrix countless times but there were several friends who had never seen it so we watched it together. It’s kind of fun to watch this movie from the perspective of someone that’s never seen it. I picked up on little things I hadn’t remembered or noticed before.
This film is such an important film in terms of its influence on movies ever since. Many of the camera moves, filming techniques, and even computer imagery are staples of modern blockbusters now. But what was most surprising this time around was how innovative the story is. There is a gigantic revelation every 10 minutes or so of the running time. The ideas just keep coming. It’s amazingly brilliant and deserves every bit of the accolades its received ever since.
