The Matrix

❝Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.❞ · · ────── •⊰✧⊱• ────── · · Holy shit. How have I lived for so long until now without watching The Matrix? Truly, I felt like I was in a daze until the credits started rolling. Not only is the plot fascinating, the special effects still hold up today and the acting all around is excellent. I'm so glad Brad Pitt and Will Smith turned down the offer to play Neo, because Keanu was perfect. Carrie-Anne Moss, too: Trinity was a whole other level of badass, and worked so well with Keanu. Everyone was dripped the fuck out in the all-black outfits, and I absolutely loved the action scenes; the fight choreography was so cool, and combined with the alternating wide and tight shots, as well as the slow-mo, added different depths and perspectives which had me slack-jawed. And need I mention the soundtrack? That mix of orchestral and electronic funk added a sleek edge to the film, and it was irresistible. Bravo, Lana and Lily, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. side-note: i think of this film whenever i listen to megalomaniac by kmfdm
