The perfect fusion of Hollywood spectacle and Hong Kong Kung Fu

The "Matrix" series has been undisputedly promoted as a classic among the classics, and there are also a large number of articles on the analysis of the film, so after reviewing it, it is enough to analyze it from a few simple perspectives.
1. The special effects of the movie were like CG at the time, which was appalling. So far, it has become the object of imitation of many movies. Although it seems that the difficulty of special effects is not as good as it was at the time, the action and imagination are still worthy of praise.
2. The most worthy of the film is the imagination of the narrative and the prospect of the future. This is a fable of Zhuang Sheng's dream. For the technology industry where artificial intelligence is in the ascendant, it is worth thinking about from the philosophical and technical levels.
3. The film has the visual spectacle and boundless imagination of Hollywood, but what makes it a classic is the fusion with Eastern Kung Fu, leaving aside imagination and narrative, this is a martial arts film full of elements of Yuan Heping with a Western face, Kung Fu movie. It can be said that "The Matrix" is the best fusion of Hollywood and Hong Kong movies.
4. Inadvertently, the film also makes an imaginary reconciliation when the end of the world comes. The savior is white, but the mentors and guides are all black. It seems that blacks and whites stand in a trench and are intimate.
5. The Wachowski brothers or sisters are definitely movie geeks. Although their later works are lackluster, there is a place for them or them in the halls of movie history.

  • [on the war that devastated the Real World]

    Morpheus: We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
