The Matrix Was One Of The Best Movies Of The 90s

By Danielle Woodard

The Matrix was one the great movies released towards the end of the 90's, the leading stars in the cast were Keano Reeves, Lawrence Fishbourne and Carrie-Anne Moss. It was the first in a trilogy, the second and third being called Reloaded and Revolations respectively.

An idea of the Wachowski brothers, the film proved them with great wealth and greater acclaim. The idea for the movie however did take many years to become reality with the film being pitched to many companies until it was picked up by Warner.

The movie is set some 200 years into the future, it is at this time that machines have overpowered humans and the last survivors free of the machines live deep underground near the core of the almost burned out earth. For the rest of the human race is kept in a computer program called the Matrix. Whilst their minds wonder around the program the machines use their bodies as sources of power.

The few people free from the machines try to free as many people as they can from the matrix. They are able to 'plug' themselves back into the program and interact with people who are still trapped in the false reality.

As mentioned the plot follows a character called Neo, a person who has been trapped inside the Matrix. Neo leads a normal life within the computer world working for a reputable software company whilst selling illegal hacking programs on the side. In the matrix there are stories of what it actually is and Neo is intreged by them following one transgressions of one of the leaders Morpheus.

Little does Neo know but Morpheus has been looking for him, when they meet Morpheus offers to free Neo from the program and also him to be free from the control of the machines.

Neo later finds out that the reason Morpheus had been looking for him to free him was because Morpheus believes that Neo is 'the one', he believes he is the person to save the human race and defeat the machines. Allowing the humans to return to the surface. The film focuses on Neo's journey understanding how to interact in the computer world and how to do things that he thought were not possible.

As is common place with many people who the rebels believe are 'the one' they are sent to see the Oracle, who informs Neo that Morpheus will die because of his belief in Neo and that he is not the one. Neo proceeds to save Morpheus and at that point they both start to begin to believe that he truly is the one.

After saving Morpheus, they return to their exit point only to be confronted by 'Agents' these are computer programs within the system designed to find any rebel humans and kill them. A battle ensues and Agent Smith kills Neo. Trinity declares that Neo can't die because she loves him. Neo's heart starts beating and he rises, confronts Smith and destroys him. From that moment on Neo sees the matrix in code form and is able to start fully utilizing the abilities he has as the one. - 2361
