The Matrix

I saw another movie! Now this is an accomplishment in itself because I hardly ever watch movies, let alone science fiction movies or R rated movies. But my AP English class watched The Matrix last night because apparently it comes up a lot in discussions during class. I thought the movie was really good! And I was kind of surprised that I liked it so much because science fiction and violence is just not really my thing. But the movie had some good aspects to it for someone like me who doesn't really get the point of sitting in front of a screen watching people shoot each other and being controlled by computers. For one, the movie made me think. Think about stuff having to do with ignorance is bliss, truth, pain, making decisions, and fate. Unlike many other movies, the characters in The Matrix weren't shallow and the movie's message was much deeper.
