You have to see it for yourself.&#8221; says Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), the earnest, elegant John the Baptist figure in the Wachowski brothers&#8217; allegorical science fiction masterpiece. Well, we&#8217;ll give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s talking to Neo (Keanu Reeves), a blank-faced computer whizz who&#8217;s about to go through the looking glass &#8211; out of the late 20th century world as he knows it, into the real, post-apocalyptic &#8220;desert of the real&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a reality where robots rule the planet and keep humans plugged into a virtual reality matrix, living in a dream world, while their energy fuels the machines.<\/p>\n<p>Morpheus thinks Neo is The One, the messiah figure who will destroy the Matrix and resurrect humanity. Fellow freedom fighter Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is convinced too. But Neo isn&#8217;t certain, and will have to face the pernicious, powerful, Matrix meanie Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) to find out.<\/p>\n<p>At first viewing, the action sequences stun, but there&#8217;s more to this than the groundbreaking &#8220;bullet time&#8221; photography, or the adolescent allure of flash, black clothes and big, black guns.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, &#8220;The Matrix&#8221; is almost untenably cool, but beneath the sheen there&#8217;s substance. The story&#8217;s a potent mix of buddhism, Greek mythology, and &#8211; predominantly &#8211; the Christian gospel.<\/p>\n<p>The image of a superficial existence, where ignorant people thrive by blocking out a troublesome reality, is potent for a Western society drowning in wealth while the rest of the world suffers.<\/p>\n<p>The performances, too, wow. Admittedly Reeves is gifted the perfect role &#8211; he has to look good while hitting things &#8211; but Moss is charismatic, clever and sexy, while Fishburne is monumental.<\/p>\n<p>Nestling next to &#8220;The Terminator&#8221; and &#8220;Metropolis&#8221;, this is one the finest sci-fi flicks ever made.<\/p>\n<p>Link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matrixfans.net\/interview-with-kym-barrett-costume-designer-from-the-matrix-reloaded-2003\/\" title=\"interview with Kym Barret\">interview with Kym Barret<\/a>, Costume designer off Matrix, Spiderman&#8230;Ciraque Soleil&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Video with Kym Barret (about her work with The Cirque Soleil&#8230;)<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/59hKA3bhjlY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.es\/search?q=kym+barrett+costume+designer+matrix&amp;hl=es&amp;tbo=u&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=C9W1UI68MsfB0gX-rYHQBA&amp;ved=0CGoQsAQ&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=845\" title=\"Images\">Images<\/a> of the work done by Kyn Barret<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before starting with Blade Runner and Matrix, we will talk a bit about Science-Fiction films such as: 1.
