although i love the film i dont by any means consider it's
impact to be wholly or even predominantly benevolent.
it radically weakened our sense of the realness of reality and replaced it with precisely nothing,
or at best, pasted a kind of regressive superhero/messiah fantasy on top.
Watched the Matrix the other day. It's a top film. Although some of it has aged horribly - the super slow mo machine gunning cops sequence feels like such an outmoded idea of cool. (I am willing to bet that this was my favourite scene as a yoot.)
They're meant to be making a GB3, aren't they? Not sure how I feel about this.
