A film that inspired a generation of movie makers.

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2020)

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is - apt description of a movie that has spawned an entire generation of films/series that have subscribed to one or the other concept in this film : Avatar, Kungfu Panda, King Arthur, Westworld, the other Wachowski brother films such as V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas .. the list just goes on. The fact that it is loaded with so many seminal concepts weaved into such an entertaining format makes it that inexplicable phenomenon - you could question the casting then, as the only weakness, but I doubt if even the Wachowski Brothers knew what they will end up making. I see film making as pre-Matrix & post-Matrix. It is my personal holy scripture that guides me on every aspect of personal & professional life - and it still keeps resonating with me every time I see it. Watch it if you love punches or punchlines - this film has a truckload of them.
