No More Games

Last night I watched The Matrix (1999), which was written and directed by the Wachowski brothers. It's a trilogy with each movie supposedly getting worse as they go on. "In the near future, a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) discovers that all life on Earth may be nothing more than an elaborate facade created by a malevolent cyber-intelligence, for the purpose of placating us while our life essence is "farmed" to fuel the Matrix's campaign of domination in the "real" world. He joins like-minded Rebel warriors Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss) in their struggle to overthrow the Matrix." It was nominated for 4 Oscars in 2000 for Best Editing, Effects (Sound Effects Editing and Visual Effects), and Sound. It was good, but I liked the meaning behind it much more than the action sequences.
