---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

Some time does my teacher Introduction to Film asked us to do a summary of The Matrix, so I decided to take this opportunity to increase my library of Blu-Ray by going to buy from HMV. When released on DVD in 2000, it looked that film something like three or four times in a row. I was totally in love, as well as all other youngsters who found in the Wachowski brothers' film Star Wars of their generation. Buy the movie rather than download it from the network was therefore a moral duty.

Covering The Matrix through the eyes of now, however, was a different experience: it will be because they are more mature than me or because they are more mature and the time over the years, the sleights of Neo and his associates have become the subject of parody on a more or less daily, but after reviewing the film I could not help but fall in the tunnel of the 'what would have been better looking Ommioddio if they had been less superficial "in which I happen to end up more often.


But Neo, who the fuck is that?
The Matrix is \u200b\u200bone of those few films that have seen all that struck the imagination of everyone, even to those who have not liked. In 1999, almost everyone now had a cell phone and a computer, broadband began to spread and more people were able to understand concepts like "artificial intelligence" and "virtual reality". Matrix has surprised everyone with its spectacular action sequences, and intellettuaolidi that they could not admit that he liked the film to the trivial fistfights have decided to praise him for his modern reinterpretation of the myth of Plato's cave.

But besides some petty piece of philosophy, zen freeze-dried, circus acts and information for beginners there are the inevitable cardboard characters. Who is Thomas Anderson, aka Neo? Where you from? Who are his friends? What are your parents? What makes it so special to turn Trinity into a voyeur and to risk their lives to Morpheus? Bho! All that is known is that everyone is straconvinti that he is the 'Chosen "(" The One "in English), but the reason for this belief is never explained! The only thing is that Thomas Figliodiandrea is that working in a cubicle by day and by night porn movies masquerading as Friend 90s at home still have a slow 56k connection. That's it! Unlike children in the house can see the Oracle, Neo does not bend spoons or flies cubes with the letters in the air - what sets it apart from ordinary people is that surf the Internet looking for the answer to the question "What is the Matrix." Wow. Very impressive. If Neo is able to use Google, you may also be able to dodge bullets and save mankind from slavery! Too bad that the sagacity of Neo stop there: both Neo asks what is the Matrix, so do not give a damn daughters going to reveal to friends and once the family has learned.


More cyberpunk and less crap!
A little game I like to do when I see films that I do not like or that I like in the middle is to imagine a remake where I keep some things the original and changed others to make a version of my own, enhanced the things that I miss and that I think would add depth to the story and depth to the characters. Had I done

Matrix, as I said, I would try to explore more the character of Neo. I would show why it is so special in the eyes of Morpheus, and what it says and makes a stir as Trinity. I showed her confusion once again in virtual reality: if such a thing were to happen to me, I think I would run by people who are important to me to make them sharers of truth, rather than sit and watch the waves dressed red (the time to do what it always is). I would also like to see taken to the parallelism with the myth of the cave: Neo and his companions do not think twice about embarking on their crusade against the Matrix, but those who can offer so much security that humans will be happy once released? Who makes you do wake up from their lives to deal with the virtual destruction of the real world? But the end is best, as always, doing things "American" and end all in cask between good and bad - and the Warner Bros. indictment avoids blatant plagiarism of our Rockets Amari.

Pro
+ Interesting story from the premises
+ Beautiful +
action scenes spectacular Use bullet time
+ + very nice design
not bored, not even the millionth time that it regards

Against
- Neo is a cartoon character
- The lack of expression of Keanu Reeves does not improve the situation
- The history makes sense only to a certain point
- is concluded in the most American way possible

Judgement
+1
not rate very high, but is a positive vote.
If the plot had been kept more realistic and less space was given to the scazzottatte Dragon Ball , my vote would have been much higher, now that a The Matrix has made the history of cyberpunk and film d ' action.
's one of those movies that I like to do a remake that nobody else feels the slightest need.
