The movie that changed the future for Hollywood ever since the release of the perfect movie to celebrate a new millennia.

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2018)

I am not a journalist, nor am I a payed critic. But it kind of feels like I should be because just like the Wachowski sisters I got it.
On release I was merely a teenager, ironically not completely unlike 'Neo' as I was subjected to the hype from other hackers online since I were a programmer and hacker, at least by night. Student by day although I can't say I didn't do some hacking in school from time to time!
I'm not talking as much about the character depth development and I'm not looking for hidden philosophies when I admire the perfection I experienced when I first watched this film. No.
What I perceived was a largely philosophical film (and due to the late Dr. Stephen Hawking*** more current than what's comfortable to admit!)
made in a new format.
Set in a future or past - void of themes associated with different decades - scientifically barely fiction as it relates to our day and age more than ever today.
Not even realism (usually important for a geek like I) was in doubt as this aesthetically, cinematographically* and technologically groundbreaking Platonistic masterpiece surpassed all expectations and turned into something above and beyond what is possible to dislike as it's more likely close to a life-changingly ecstasy and truly original. Most certainly capable of being inspiring, you want to watch it over and over again.
I think it helped a lot that I was a hardcore 'Ghost in the Shell' manga and movie fan although at the time completely unaware of the Wachowskis own fascination with Masamuni Shirorows universe and Ghost in the Shell.**
You have most likely seen it even if you havn't.
The style, atmosphere, cinematographic techniques and thoroughly thought trough yet somehow tastefully, sexy minimalism is present in almost all major films produced today.
To break it down in components:

Aesthetics
Camera work and post filming techniques
The use of music that fits the atmosphere of the scene whether you like that particular music or not
The digital "feel" that often isn't that digital and often is when you wouldn't believe it.
The absurd level of detail and dedication put into every aspect of every part of the production. From props, dust, textiles and filter to the spotless chrome or endless seemingly roofless places.
An innocent yet particular likeness to both the architecture, clothing, and so forth of the NSDAP (Hitler's party in Germany) and Hugo Boss timeless designs, then as now.

The list goes on but a lot of these points were unique to The Matrix and the original film that used them all together impacted the world.

Actor performance?
Few actors have impressed an audience, colleges, directors and crew the way Keanu Reeves have.
I'm talking about Reeves amongst extremely well performed actors such as Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving.
Both in terms of thespians with an intensive presence and the art of mastering complicated choreography, partially thanks to the Martial Art Institute representatives such as the "kung fu team: Hong Kong" members: Yuen Eagle Shun Yi, Woo-Ping Yuen, Daxing Zhang. They did an extraordinarily good job on such a short notice and that's probably partially because of the actors dedication to aim for perfection.
I should know. I am a Wing Chun Kung Fu examined and graduated certified trainer and I bow in honor to the KFT:HK as I acknowledge their superiority in their ways as trainers, showing I have yet more to learn.
The Matrix, however that wasn't a unique occurans as you'll be able to assess if, and you should, watch this movie.
I wouldn't call it purely talent since talent alone isn't enough when you want to impress in a heavily invested and With this level of satisfaction, or if you subscribe to the possibility of perfection, the dedication Keanu his delivery and choreography

**Ghost in the Shell
Please do not mistake the movie with the live action Hollywood movie produced in 2017, they are barely cousins and the plot is butchered beyond acceptable parameters
