The Matrix

Just like the rest of the class, i assume, I had previously seen the Matrix and absolutely loved it. The film bent the whole mental framework that the audience had had previous to viewing it. The whole concept is mind blowing. We are all living in a computer program!??! Wow. And the cinematic effects they use simply make the film. The bullet-speed cinematography was superb. It really draws the viewer into the film by creating the illusion that we are actually seeing a bullet at super slowed down speeds to the point where we can view its flight. Just brilliant. The marriage of the concept and the cinematic elements creates a film that up until it was premiered had never been imagined. This film, to be brutally honest, made me want to be a director. Up until this film, I had never imagined that cameras and special effects could produce such jaw-dropping sequences. The Matrix is truly a revolutionary film.
