The Matrix - Perhaps Still Ahead of Its Time

The Matrix - Perhaps Still Ahead of Its Time
The Matrix is a film classic, and it will continue to appreciate as we ascend into the technological advancements of today's world. It's incredibly odd watching this movie 20 years later now, and seeing how some of the assumptions about the internet, technology, and society were addressed here. All of that withheld, it's still a great piece of sci-fi action that has rarely been met with a competitor or similar style. A lot of the stylistic elements of The Matrix have been attempted in other films, but never used quite as successfully as it was here. Things such as "bullet time" have been overused since the release of this film, but exemplify the impact it had on movies and viewers.The Wachowskis are particularly interesting to watch in Special Features, especially now that they are both women. They don't seem to have any highly technical background or understanding of film, but are making the movie they want to see and being particular where they as a viewer think it would count. I think this movie was the beginning of Keanu's highly popular career arc from the late 90s to the mid-2000s. Where he seemingly died off and has now been resurrected again by John Wick. Laurence Fishbourne is great as Morpheus and plays the master to Neo perfectly. Carrie Anne-Moss, where is she?! She's outstanding in this film, but probably no one is better than Hugo Weaving, who with little to say or do than glance makes such an impact on the film, and ultimately the story of this universe. This all looks fantastic in 4K!This release is jam-packed with special features and FOUR audio commentaries, which I was incredibly excited to listen to. I can't say it shed any light on concepts or ideas that I haven't heard of before, but it's so interesting to hear intellectuals, philosophers, and psychologists talk about both what they like about the film and its depictions, as well as what they don't like. One of the commentaries is from film review writers that hated the film, and despite their critiques find a way to frame the film's importance in cinema. It's quite interesting, and it's prefaced by a letter from the Wachowskis on pitching this commentary to WB, which is hilarious. Imagine another movie that would have a review from people who didn't like it, just to give the viewer another perspective from which to absorb this wild ride.At this point, I believe there's a trilogy release on 4K as well as a steelbook at other retailers. I'd recommend getting the whole package as it's likely cheaper, and I bought this when the other 2 weren't released yet and had to buy the last 2 movies separately. This movie is still phenomenal, and holds up just as well today if not better. It's incredible to see how this film has matured and become social commentary that's just as relevant now as it ever was. The Wachowskis have gone on to do some great films and some not so great, but hoping that the new M4TRIX (see what I did there) does to post-2020, what this film did for the early 2000s.

Une révolution visuelle ce Matrix est une grande référence en terme de science-fiction. les frères Wachowski ont dynamité tous les codes de la science-fiction en un blockbuster intelligent aux effets visuels novateurs et percutants. Les mondes virtuel et réel créés de toutes pièces et la cohérence infaillible du scénario sont remarquables, tout comme l’interprétation de Keanu Reeves, tout juste grandiose. Un Mélange S.F Arts martiaux, philosophique relevait du fantasme en 1999 provoquant un véritable séisme dans l’industrie du cinéma. ils l'ont pourtant fait ! L'interprétation des protagonistes est très intéressante, Carrie-Anne Moss est à la fois bad-ass et terriblement sexy dans sa tenue en cuir très moulant, Laurence Fishburn impose le respect et Hugo Weaving est épatant et effrayant. La mise en scène des Wachowski en jette, elle sublime l'action notamment grâce à des ralentis certes câblés mais bien utilisés. l'amalgame parfaite de nombreuses cultures (informatique, mangas, jeux vidéo, arts martiaux, existentialisme) Depuis des années nous nous efforçons à dématérialiser le monde physique qui nous entoure, photos, vidéos, musiques, et ce jusqu’à nos interactions sociales. Sans nous en rendre compte, nous nous téléchargeons, morceau par morceau, sur cet espace virtuel que nous continuons à façonner. L’arrivée des technologies de réalité-virtuelle et réalité-augmentée (VR et AR) introduit de nouvelles interrogations dans ce que nous considérons comme la réalité objective. À travers des expériences sensorielles toujours plus immersives, notamment par le jeu vidéo, il est désormais possible d’entrevoir le cauchemar technologique décrit par les Wachowski. L’histoire de Neo propose alors une métaphore particulièrement adaptée à toutes les thèses affirmant que la réalité est cachée, et ne sera révélée qu’aux seuls « élus » qui font le choix d’affronter la vérité.” Pilule rouge contre pilule bleue, cette vision binaire et simplifiée du monde s’inscrit progressivement dans l’imaginaire populaire. Nous sommes deux ans avant les attentats du World Trade Center, événement fondateur de ce nouveau siècle, qui devient en même temps la théorie matricielle du complotisme contemporain. Avec les pyramides de Gizeh, les illuminati et les reptiliens, c’est autour du 11 septembre que se cristallise la rhétorique complotiste. Paradoxalement, cette quête de dévoilement du monde est enrobée par une couche mystique quasi religieuse. Ce retour aux histoires bibliques et autres récits mythologiques se retrouve dans les milieux conspirationnistes qui flirtent fréquemment avec ésotérisme et religions new age. L’avènement des doctrines matérialistes (capitalisme et socialisme) repousse pour un temps les préoccupations spirituelles, créant un vide légitime dans les aspirations humaines. Les théories du complot séduisent par ce potentiel spirituel qu’elles viennent combler, elles sont les nouvelles religions du XXIe siècle. On pourrait même aller plus loin, et si l’on constate aujourd’hui un fort retour du religieux, il serait intéressant d’analyser de quelle manière Daesh s’est appuyé sur ces codes conspirationnistes pour construire son discours d’endoctrinement. C’est d’ailleurs à travers les réseaux internet que s’est déployé son système de recrutement allant même jusqu’à se réapproprier la figure du hacker en lutte contre l’impérialisme occidental. Matrix nous fait basculer dans un monde parallèle où tout semble possible, mais où tout peut aussi avoir un impact sur la réalité. La force de Matrix réside d’ailleurs ici, car le film se présente comme une vaste allégorie d’une société emprisonnée dans les codes, les routines, la hiérarchie, la technologie et la déshumanisation. C’est ainsi que le film choisit la matrice, sorte d’immense programme informatique dans lequel évoluent des humains dépourvus de libre-arbitre, surveillés par des agents invincibles capables de remplacer n’importe qui selon leur volonté, dans le but de traquer ceux qui ont su se libérer de la soumission pour détruire l’emprise des machines, dans la réalité, et à travers la matrice. Il faut admettre que Matrix a ravivé l’intérêt du public pour la science-fiction. S’inspirant des visions apocalyptiques de Gibson et de Philip K. Dick, les Wachowski apportent une nouvelle dimension à la guerre qui opposera les hommes contre les machines (cf. Terminator) grâce aux multiples références christiques et philosophiques (Neo dit l’Elu cherche sa place dans un monde aseptisé). A cela s’ajoute une touche anarchique séduisante dans laquelle se retrouvent nombre de jeunes spectateurs. Mais là où les Wachowski remplissent parfaitement leur contrat, c’est au niveau visuel. Malgré des moyens financiers sans prétention pour un film de cette ampleur, les Wachowski offrent un feu d’artifice de trouvailles, inspirées des mangas et des jeux vidéo. Ce qui donne 45 minutes de morceaux de bravoure (le hall, l’hélicoptère, le métro) pour une intensité rarement atteinte au cinéma. Certes, ils n’inventent rien, améliorent simplement des techniques déjà existantes, mais leur intégration dans l’univers Matrix est si bien conçue qu’on ne peut que saluer leur intelligence créatrice. Matrix est bien le film définitif qui, malgré les parodies peu flatteuses dont il est la source d’inspiration, a conservé son fabuleux impact vingt-trois ans après sa sortie en salles.
