The Matrix...More Than Meets the Eye...

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2003)

the first time i saw the movie i saw it for the sake of watching the movie. there was a lot of hype so i watched it to see what the hype was all about. it was ultra mindboggling but it was totally awesome. at that time i would've given the movie 8 stars.
that was then..this is now...
i recently saw the movie for my philosophy class. if it wasn't for that class and my supercool teacher i would never have realized that The Matrix is one large piece of collective philosophy. every single line (besides "WHOA!" of course) has a very strong link to certain philosophies including buddhism and such. i was utterly amazed at the dialogue and weeklong discussion the class had about it. i kid you not when i say that the class was extremely saddened to leave that discussion behind. there is so much to discuss.
this movie is for the action lovers AND the philosophy buffs! a double whammy for me!!
