Well, people change. Opinions change. I used to dislike The Matrix, but I watched it as a kid. I decided to give it another go last night, so I watched it again (I'm talking about part I). Okay, so I think this movie is brilliant. I missed way too much, or actually, I missed pretty much everything 10 years ago. It's filled with symbolism. But not just that, I think it was subtle and it gets you thinking throughout the whole movie. There's a whole lot of philosophy in there. First off, I think the whole world behind Morpheus (God of dreams) was neat, while Trinity (the trinity) has a unique role when it comes to the revival, new hope, etc. It's also the dialogs, there were way too many that were deep which covered the hardest subjects like truth, dreams, the creator, and pretty much everything else being carried by the one. The beginning it self reminded me of Josef K, Kafka's work, where he's being chased by the unknown for the arrest for something he's not aware of, so it has quite the extensionalism covered in it. Cast was also quite decent, special effects good (great enough in that period when it came it out), so overall a really great sci-fi, which gives a whole lot while being re-watchable. I wish there were more movies like this one, which aren't just an action-show being thrown left and right without any purpouse but entertain the average Joe.
