Master piece, period.

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2017)

Today I decided to see this film, the work of the Wachowski sisters. My desire to see this piece of film was born just yesterday that I saw Keanu Reeves in John Wick 2. I had already seen Matrix Revolution in an already non-existent cinema in my hometown of Zacatecas. By that time I was just a boy about 4 years old and all I remember is Neo dodging bullets with his characteristic black glasses. I had heard a lot from Matrix, but I really knew very little, I thought it was a science fiction thing, and I was wrong. Matrix is ​​ something very well achieved, because it has drama, action, romance, suspense and plot in little more than two hours. As the movie progressed, I remembered more of The Fight Club, which is a film starring Brad Pitt that constantly questions the system. Matrix is ​​ somewhat similar, although it has a different approach, the result is the same, wondering about life. What is real? It is the central question of the film. There are Neo, Morpheus and their associates, who are firm in that the real is outside the Matrix, but for their part, there are also Cypher and the agents who defend the Matrix and consider it as real and absolute. The development of the story around this question is magnificent. Leaving aside the explicit in the Matrix, its content goes much further. Neo represents the chosen, becomes the Jesus Christ that can save the world and destroy the Matrix, is something close to the superman. Also in Matrix you can see something about the methodical doubt of Descartes, doubting even of the own existence. By the above, the Matrix could be considered as a philosophical work, which brings philosophy to the ordinary citizen. The reflection and the learning that leaves us the film is important. At the end of the day, one has to try to leave the Matrix, dodging the thousand and one ways that exist to distract us, to manipulate us and make us more flimsy. We must find our way and modify it to our liking, always guided by an oracle, called love, knowledge or religion.
