Zion, the last stand for humans, has been discovered by the machines and Armageddon approaches. Oh, if you haven't figured it out by now, when they're in the long black coats, they're in the Matrix. Anyhow, lots of fun fights, though some get a wee bit old. Still, Rainy Day watched them all. When the fighting got to be too much, she concentrated on the how of the fights, and the choreography, and where did the wires attach;-) Rainy Day wants to know how these movies are made. And, isn't Agent Smith, as a computer virus great?

Where to start? You've probably seen it already, at least you've heard of it. You know that it has some of the bestest ever special effects, new to the movie, now used by many. You know the story is confusing, but if you think of it as Order v. Chaos, Good v. Evil, Jesus (Neo) v. Satan (Agent Smith), the philosophy isn't all that hard. The music is fantastic, the direction is marvelous, and The Matrix is one of the most original movies Rainy Day has ever seen. Keanu Reeves is Neo, Laurence Fishbourne is Morpheous, Hugh Weaving is Agent Smith, and Carrie-Ann Moss is Trinity. If you haven't seen the movie, get it, watch it and Part II and Part II back to back to back. You'll love it. Them. And pay attention to the ideas – they'll make you think!
