The Matrix is a revolution in the world of cinema At the time of its release, the Matrix made a splash. And first and foremost because of its unique visual effects, which were achieved with the help of new developments and methods of shooting. Yes, it's true, it was hooked at first. But there is a huge "BUT". When the plot begins to unwind, the delight of special effects fades into the background when you clearly realize what kind of world appears in the film and how possible it is in our world. But about everything in order. The picture of the film is quite dark and with a well-known green shade characteristic of the matrix. The plot is completely unclear at first. Why are they chasing a person, who are the pursuers, what do they want. Then the authors gradually begin to unravel the tangle of riddles in which they themselves placed the audience. This is understandable. It's more interesting this way. Continuing the viewing, you begin to understand what is happening, but as one of the heroes said, "no one can explain what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." The actors. Keanu Reeves appears as an ordinary employee of the company, who finds himself in the thick of things. And we see how he matures, accepts a new role for himself, makes a difficult choice. Fishburne is good in the role of a wise mentor, calm, ready to convey his idea. He's a natural leader. Moss got the role of Trinity, who is indomitable, but at the same time appears as a trusting person who is ready to help his neighbor. Weaving is just beautiful. He is the personification of evil, the face of the enemy that people are fighting. It's nice to look at him and at the same time a little afraid. And that means he played great. The rest of the actors are less noticeable, but also give integrity to what is happening on the screen. Directing. Brothers… Then the Wachowski brothers presented us with a completely new world, which forces us to look at the progress of humanity and its negative impact on all of us from a new angle. No one rules out that such a thing can happen in reality. I wish it hadn't happened. Music. Gorgeous musical accompaniment throughout the picture. Dynamic, intense. Exactly what is needed in this picture. In addition, the scenes of fights are perfectly staged in the picture, and the camerawork is done at the highest level. Result. The film "The Matrix" is a movie event that made people talk about themselves for a decade and even got two sequels. This is a truly revolutionary film with a vivid plot, interesting characters, and a cool idea. 9 out of 10
