In this
movie... Reeves is "Neo," a computer hacker who wastes his days at a
soul-sucking corporate job so that he may spend nights in his dingy apartment breaking
into all sorts of information he shouldn't be privy to. Without warning, he is drawn into
a complex plot by a band of futuristic freedom fighters, led by the philosophical Morpheus
(Fishburne), who informs Neo that he may be "The One" who can put an end to the
Matrix- a scheme which has pulled the wool over the eyes of the human race. You see, life
in 1999 is actually a false front put up by higher, octopus-like beings to cover up the
fact that it's actually hundreds of years in the future and humankind has been enslaved
for their evil purposes. But that's just a surface explanation for this mind-bending,
complex yarn from the Wachowski Brothers (BOUND), which combines STAR WARS-like
mythmaking, Hong Kong style kick-n-shoot action with the latest digital effects to create
the left-field hit of 1999. |
