Matrix . . .
I never really was interested in this movie "Matrix". However, during class on Thursday I watched it. It totally changed my point of view of the movie. The movie will eventually make you wonder, if your living in the "real world". After class i was like thinking to myself if what i'm doing was real. Maybe, what i'm living is a fake. The matrix's director is a clever man. To make this movie, there was many training and such. The actors and actress was trained by Hong Kong's best kung fu masters. It was funny because while i was watching the documentary, one of the hong kong master was speaking in cantonese and i understood it. However I laughed im not sure if the class notice but i cracked up cuz while they were filming them training the master was like cursing in chinese lolllll it was something like "holy fuck" lol.. I admire the actresses for being so dedicated to training. It took them about three years of training to perfect the movie's fighting scenes. The designs and costumes really can explain the movie in many ways. It shows the time and setting. Also shows the power and ability the character has. Actress for matrix are also like students doing researches and reading before the big shots. Therefore they read the book " out of control" before acting. The slow motions in the movie did make the movie more detailed. Some actors can't do some moves therefore they have subs of course. The hong kong master said that it normally takes 2 weeks for training to succeed but these actors have few spins and already dizzy which isnt a good foot to start on. The main character has injured his neck therefore it's going to be harsh for him to make dramatic moves in the movie. After watching this movie, it makes me like the movie alot and it makes me appreciate it because it took so much planning and thinking into this movie. Us, viewers simply watch an action movie and such and only talk about the story line but never talk about behind the scenes of the movie. That's why i always preferr watching it on dvd because it shows in the making. Last thursday I beleive was a good ending to the week with a nice movie.

It's cool that you liked the movie. I first saw the Matrix when my parents rented it and I watched it with them. This was shortly after it came out on video almost 10 years ago. I didn't understood some of what was going on, but one line has always stayed in my memeory was "you're living in a dreamworld". Sometimes I can relate.
ReplyDeleteI think we all feel like that sometimes -- like, "This can't be real. This can't be happening."
