The
Matrix is real. In the movies, The Matrix was symbolized as a computer
simulation that is hooked into our brains with
wires and computer code. The real Matrix consists of the program that we follow every day when we live our lives. The real Matrix is created throuth the media, and through our programmed interactions with our jobs and with each other. To break free of the real Matrix, one must operate not on logic, but on will. Do what you will, because the only things that stand in your way are only in your way because you believe they are. Do, believe, and feel as you want to. NOT as you are told.

n. A trio of movies that managed to glorify
existentialism, promote free-thinking, stimulate the atrophied intellects of the masses, modernize science fiction,
lionize computer programmers and revive
Keanu Reeves' career all in one go. In short, a triumph.

A groundbreaking film released in 1999. Facing hard competition from Star Wars: Episode I, which opened the same season, it was a surprise hit, and a perfect combination of story and action/visual effects. The original film was somewhat devalued by the sub-par sequels, The Matrix
Reloaded and The
Matrix Revolutions. Recently, all three films were released in a 10-disc
box set.
Example:
Warner Home Video has just announced that, in addition to the 10-disc "Ultimate Matrix Collection", they will soon be releasing a "
SuperDeluxe Ultimate Matrix Collection, consisting of 128 DVDs, which dissect every frame of all three films. Each film has 32 commentary tracks, from writers/directors
Wachowski Brothers to James
Mager, the catering assistant for the films. In addition, each disc will be hand-signed by Keanu Reeves and the Wachowski Brothers. The set will also include a life-sized Sentinel figure.
