The Matrix DeZionized

[myrrh]

I think that it kind of captured something about the mindset of the time when it was released. It was just before the millenium switch and the mass subconscious was in termoil. People were wondering if the world was going to end; if all the computers were going to crash; if Jesus was coming back, etc. All this tension was played out in the Matrix. It reflected the darkness of the Nineties and spit it back in your face in a regurjitated bad ass we will not be stopped kind of fashion. Not only that, but the special effects where unlike anything you saw before.

I remember that when I saw the Matrix, on opening night, I left the movie theater with my jaw dragging on the floor. I was 25 and it seemed to collect everything about our generations culture and crammed it into a two hour flick that just rocked.
