Mind-Blowing

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2000)

As many may know already, this movie is absolutely incredible. Sure the special effects are great, the sound track rocks, and the martial arts are the best, but what really sets this movie apart is the plot. I'm a practitioner of Buddhist meditation and this movie is like a metaphor for life. In a way, we are all asleep in the matrix of our own minds. Few actually wake up to 'reality'. The 'reality' of the matrix is a dark one, compared to the brilliance of the buddhist path to 'reality'. Nonetheless, this movie is the best movie I have seen since Baraka.
