"The Matrix Animated Edition" once again confirms a consensus about movies, that is, the limit of imagination is animation. The animated version is not only better than the 2 and 3 of the trilogy, but even comparable to the originator's 1~ The

The
short story is The structure that Japanese animation directors are best at mastering, the film as a whole presents the satire of film noir. During the period of playfulness and cynicism, through short stories, not only a real and virtual world is constructed, but also a complement to the film trilogy. Insufficient in the logical narrative of the story~
The Japanese elements in the film are overflowing, not only Japanese characters, but also Japanese samurai, armor, katana, war horses, sometimes the audience's feelings are confused, which is seriously inconsistent with the cognitive framework. Because the deviation between the characters and the background is the impact of Japanese elements and American elements, but this also echoes the theme. The cognitive framework is not absolutely scientific, and there is no way to determine the real and the virtual~

The Animatrix quotes

  • Cis: Operator, please! Get me out of here right now. Operator, I need an exit!

    Duo: It's no use. I told you. I've blocked your signal.

And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.
