    Character Evaluation

    The works of Lilly Wachowski and Laurence Wachowski have the characteristics of postmodernity, cross-genre, multiple mix and match, and break through conventions. From the early movie "The Matrix" trilogy to the epic, complex and magnificent movie "Cloud Atlas", the two have always tried to use personalized methods to subvert and break the various models established by traditional Hollywood movies for themselves. Open up new aesthetics and narrative space. They straddle different film types, the division between "commercial film" and "author film", across race, gender, Chinese and Western cultures, across entertainment, politics, philosophy and technology, and even across movies, comics, animation, games, etc. A variety of media forms have developed the ancient narrative skills gorgeously and charmingly. Throughout the experience of Lilly Wachowski and Laurence Wachowski in filming, this pair of ace partners who seem to have a strong heart are always full of unconstrained creativity and self-challenging courage. Transcendence and breakthrough are not only the deep attachments of the characters in their works, but also the beliefs of the two throughout the creative road.  .

      "Stealing is very similar to making love. Two people want the same thing. They sit in a room and start talking and planning. It's like flirting, like some kind of foreplay, because the more they talk, the more they talk. I will do better. The difference is that I can have sex with someone I just met, someone I don’t even know, but when it comes to stealing, I need to know someone I know as if I knew myself. People cooperate."
