Jennifer Tilly the same way again. The Matrix is very different from Bound , but both reflect the Wachowskis' hip, fast-moving visual and narrative style. The Matrix is a great piece of cyberpunk entertainment. The year is 2099, but almost everyone thinks it's still 1999. The world as we know it is just an elaborate computer program, and human beings are just living batteries supporting the computers that run the program.
Life really is but a dream.
The trippy visual style is perfect for this movie, which literally creates an entire new world and immerses us in it. Fishburne is fabulous as Morpheus. He's smart, cool, and exudes benevolent authority. Carrie-Anne Moss, as Trinity, is the ultimate riotgrrl. The Wachowskis should have known better than that.
