MATRIX REVOLUTIONS
I absolutely loved MATRIX REVOLUTIONS!!!
Guess what… it doesn’t give you all the answers, you know why? Because there are no answers, only the questions and the beliefs we have about those answers. In the creation of any religion, the answers are never written out, clearly stated for all to understand. That's one of the basic flaws that skeptics of religion have. I mean, these prophets, didn't they like ask God about the bottom line? And if ya just follow those 10 Commandments, is that enough? I mean, I can chow on Pig right? In MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, the mysteries of that universe have to be preserved, because the only answers are found in one's own contemplation of what you've seen, experienced and sought to understand. The whole point of GOD isn't to give you the answers, but to give you the strength to attain those answers for yourself. None of us know for sure what “it” all means, but ya know what… The Wachowski Brothers struck that balance that I loved in the original MATRIX… Here, I give a **** about my characters again. The fights… this time they mean LIFE & DEATH again, not testing programs vs programs, or as a metaphor for whether or not you could “crack” the “meaning of the Matrix.”
This time, characters FIGHT to be reunited with the people they love. They RACE to get back home. They FIGHT desperate last stands to protect a way of life. They fight for the very existence of it all. THAT’S WHAT WAS MISSING LAST TIME FOR ME!!!
This time, the religious, psycho-babble mumbo-jumbo returns to the subtext where it belongs, with characters CARING about what was going on. Being AFRAID of what was next. TERRIFIED about not being in control. And learning the lessons that lead to understanding and life.
This time, the ACTIONS define the characters, not lengthy tired monologues out of 2nd Year College Comparative Religion Studies or Basic Human Psyche-courses. This time they focus the story on individual POINTS OF VIEW, so that we can have a HUMAN GUIDE through the spectacle at any given moment. This time, they show us things we’ve never seen before that are cool. This time, they remembered that for all the well written hammy lines, it’s still has to come down to “Looking Cool” and “Meaning Something"
