Brilliant...

To all of you who hate it...well i hate to say it but you just don't get it. These are quite simply 3 of the smartest movies ever made. I know it sound cliche but they truly do work on so many levels. On one hand..cool sci-fi kung-fu action. But thats just the wrapping. Underneath are classic litterary and modern themes. Most importent (and what it all boils down to) is LOVE. The themes: Good/evil, man/machine, god/satan, Choice/control (not to mention the metaphor for our current state in the world...the blinders brought down all around us, the artifical culture is all around around us created to prevent us from thinking ouside the lines...these movies are a part of that machine..but perhaps they are trying to break out...like the matrix programs that can feel love?) The questions: What does it mean to be alive? what is real? What do you believe? those are just part of it as well. In the end the message is clear..if your motivations are pure and based on Love...well, that's all we can do. And thats what matters. To those who hate them...find love.
