Diary entries forThe Matrix
The Matrix
While I'm not 100% certain, I'm pretty sure that this was the first R rated movie that I ever saw. I remember watching it for the first time at my friend's house on VHS and just being in awe over it. That bug in the belly button and later extraction was horrifying to me at the time, and still one of the best sequences I've seen in a movie. Being 9 or 10 at the time, I don't think I truly understood all the themes the movie presents, but I still loved it. I watched it a few times subsequently, but being much older now, I feel like this was one of the first times I truly “got it.” Particularly, the line Morpheus says about mankind being dependent on AI as a true accomplishment to celebrate in the 21st century. I interpreted it as less about machines taking over the world and more about us as a species losing our originality. Which is crazy foresight for a late 90s film. Unlike Constantine, Keanu Reeves was born to play this role. Truly one of the best movies ever made.

Oque é real?
The Matrix
The fact that this was made in 1999 and still feels more futuristic than most movies today? That’s not just filmmaking—it’s prophecy.

The Matrix
Life is the Matrix. What an amazing film, filled with fantastic music, acting and fight sequences. It’s truly a masterpiece and one of the most enjoyable films I’ve seen in a long time. It has a few issues, but nothing major and overall this all time great deserves every bit of praise it gets.

Why do my eyes hurt? You've never used them before.
The Matrix
Ninguém tinha/tem mais paixão por cinema de qualidade, principalmente os exageros dos filmes de ação de Hong Kong e o Sci-fy japonês, tanto quando as irmãs Wachowski. Um cinema todo construído no milagre da imagem. O mundo espelhado em telas, seja dos celulares e computadores que estavam surgindo ou um espelho que, após tomar a pílula vermelha, aquela realidade falsa é tão instável que o espelho vira líquido. Existe um medo da evolução da tecnologia e o bug do milênio, mas diferente do que James Cameron fez com seu Exterminador do Futuro, o que as irmãs Wachowski fazem é um grande salto de fé em apostar nas conexões humanas em meio a esse mundo destruído que se sustenta por uma realidade falsa e o amor entre Nel e Trinity é tão poderoso que o Escolhido se torna um salvador na sua totalidade máxima. Ele ressuscita, ele para balas e voa. O cinema de ação de Hollywood mudou com a existência e presença das irmãs Wachowski. O prazer pelo artificial e o absurdo, o poder da imagem com a ação em telas e um sentimento tão genuíno e um mundo que é tanto palpável quanto intocável. Em outras palavras: cinema! E cinema dos bons!
