worth a third viewing

Rewatching films is like rereading books -- only certain ones can be re-watched or reread, those that have a particular quality about them that may not necessarily be one of high caliber but is so resonant to the mind and heart that it just has to be experienced once more. For example, the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini (high fantasy book series) has many flaws and emulations of other works (i.e. The Lord of the Rings), but has many aspects to it that I really enjoy and love and thus want to see with my own eyes again and again. I've read Eragon six times.
The Matrix is one of the handful of films that I've willingly taken the time to see again. I love how almost the entire film is overlaid with a green tinge. I love the high-octane soundtrack. I love the entire premise of the Matrix. It blows your mind. This is one of those realities that may very well be truth and not fiction. I love the fight sequences. I love the panache of the black getup and sunglasses. I love Keanu Reeves's bad acting.
If you haven't seen The Matrix, then where have you been. Do not be dormant and vegetative in a translucent chamber filled with some unknown life-supporting liquid. Do not be like the majority of the world, oblivious to what they are truly capable of. Do not limit yourself to your reality.
