The Matrix Movie Review Essay, Research Paper


Video Production Feb. 4, 2001


The conspicuous film, The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne,


Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving and directed by Andy Wachowski was a


successful film with unforgettable action. The genre of The Matrix is science fiction/


action. It contains constant kung-fu fighting and always leaves you at the edge of your


seat. It is also science fiction since it takes place in the year 2306, where humans no


longer control the world, instead machines do. The Matrix fits its genre suitably and


keeps you entertained from beginning to end.


Keanu Reeves starrs as Neo, the computer hacker who is seeking the answer to


the question, ?what is the matrix?? His search leads him to the wise Morphius who


explains to Neo the illusion of the so-called reality. The world he is in is the Matrix, it is


computer generated world made by the ?machines?, the machines control the humans and


keep them in place. Morphius offers Neo a chance to unplug from the Matrix and go into


the real world and Neo takes to offer. Neo is now in the real world and must fight for his


life against the inhuman government agents who are ?no one, but everyone? as Morphius


quotes. Morphius is led to believe that Neo is ?the one? to save the human race and defeat


the agents, yet Neo doesn?t believe in himself. Neo doesn?t believe in fate, he doesn?t


like the idea that he isn?t in control of his own life. Eventually, he becomes strong and


believes that he is the one and defeats the government agents and falls in love with the


courageous Trinity. By defeating the agents Neo is one step closer to helping save the


human race.


The Matrix is interesting because it plays with the idea of real and illusion, it is


also unique in this way. No film has ever questioned, how do we know the difference


between the dream world and the real world? This movie lets us explore and ponder on


that question and if it could really happen. Us being introduced to this new idea is what


makes the film engaging, we wonder whether this could really happen or be happening to


us. It is a striking movie since we could easily relate to the reactions and choices all


characters make.


The characters in the movie are all unique in personality, but they all have one


similarity. The similarity that brought them to the real world, which is curiosity. Each


character is unique in their own way. Morphius has a way with words, he easily


persuades anyone. He is experienced and wise, and doesn?t give in too easily. Neo on the


other hand is determined and doesn?t give up on anyone or anything. He likes being in


control of his own life and is always unsure of everyone or anything. Trinity is not as


determined but is intelligent and very serious. The inhuman government agent are


monotone and have no feeling, they are basically life-less. Their power is way out of


Morphius?s control but the only power they don?t have it th

e power to leave the matrix.


They try to gain that power from Morphius and everyone else.


The characters fulfill their role suitably but not as good as it could have been. For


example, there could have been more scenes showing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and


Neo (Keanu Reeves) falling in love, because them falling in love seemed too sudden, like


they barely knew eachother. Although, Morphius (Laurence Fishburne) played his role as


Neo?s guide very well. He was very wise and was with Neo every step of the way. Sipher


(Hugo Weaver) was the one who betrayed the group so he could go back to the matrix.


He even killed two of the people who where in the group. Weaver played his role well


because from the beginning we can already see that he doesn?t like the real world, he


rather be in the matrix. This foreshadows that he will betray the group.


Visually, the movie is great, everything is very clear and easily understood.


Everything throughout the movie is clear, it doesn?t jump from one place to another like


some movie do. The costumes and make up are also well done. When the characters are


in the matrix they have black shiny and futuristic clothes. When they are in the real


world, they have ugly rags on. By doing this, one can easily tell when the characters are


in the matrix or in the real world. Next, there are really interesting shots. When ever there


was some kind of fighting, it was usually in slow motion, which made it interesting and


unique. There are also at least three shots where you look at a scene through a reflection.


For example, when we were looking at Neo through the reflection of Morphius?s sun


glasses, or when we were looking at him through reflection of a spoon and also a car


reflection mirror.


Music goes well with the genre, it is all techno and rock. This makes you really


feel like it is an action movie. The sound effects during the combat fighting are sufficient


and the are convincing.


The purpose of the filmmaker for making this movie is to get the audience


thinking if this could really happen to us or if it did. He is trying to get the audience to


wonder, are we in the matrix right now and don?t even know it?


The best aspect of this movie it that it is unique, no movie like this has ever been


made. That is what makes it so engaging, the audience wants to learn about the matrix.


They are just as curious as Neo is. They are with him every step of then way, completely


glued to the movie screen. The audience loves the suspense.


In conclusion, this movie is one of my favorite movies. It is stimulating and


leaves you thinking a long time after the movie is over. One should see it because


although I dislike sci-fi movies, yet this one I like. I recommend it to anyone who want to


explore a different type of movie or who just wants to see some awesome kung-fu


fighting.
