When the first Matrix appeared, I liked it but that was it. I didn't adore it; I didn't go nuts about it. Thinking about it now, I wonder why. Maybe I was a different person at that time. For, today when I saw The Matrix Reloaded, I absolutely loved it from the first sight.
I'm a woman and I've heard such nonsense as `women usually don't like Matrix'. My response to it would be as Virgin Mary put it: `Come again?' Because that's the most insane thing I've ever heard.
Still, about the film - some people are just able to produce a film that simply blows your mind. Wachowski brothers are geniuses, no doubt about it. It pisses the hell out of me when I read reviews, which criticize the abundance of philosophy and the scarcity of action scenes. Where the heck do they come up with these things? In my eyes, The Matrix Reloaded is more than anything I've ever seen before. Every other film seems like a mote compared to this masterpiece.
I especially enjoyed Neo's conversation with the Architect. What a marvellous language, so splendid and distinguished - makes you realise the richness of English. Being a non-native speaker, these kinds of things are a motivation to learn more and more about English language.
Needless to comment upon the action scenes - Neo fighting hundreds of Smiths and the highway occurrence, etc - they were spectacular. Every human being with an ability to see understands it.
I'm usually not a film-person. I mean, I watch them but I never get carried away by them. This one did it to me. ERGO - must be something so perfect. And it is!
