[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1055455, member: 13739"] Only just found out that they're making another Matrix film. I was 15 when the original Matrix came out and it blew my mind. I borrowed it from a mate on VHS and watched it 3 times in a row. It had a massive influence on me tbh, from the soundtrack which I listened to relentlessly on my walkman - and which properly got me into bands like RATM and Rammstein. Also the clothes, I really wanted a long black leather coat for a long time afterwards, but thankfully settled for a superbike style jacket instead, and I remember dressing up as Neo to a fancy dress birthday party at the local football club, tight longsleeve t-shirt, long black leather coat and all. The Matrix is probably my favourite film of all time for these reasons + it never fails to be enjoyable every single time I watch it. Reloaded and Revolutions were a complete let down in comparison. Felt like a long time between the first and Reloaded, at that age 4 years is an age I suppose, and I remember going to the cinema when I was in my first year of uni to see Reloaded and came out feeling completely let down. Over the hears I've come to appreciate elements from both sequels, and admire the ambition of them somewhat. I suppose part of the magic of the first was watching Neo discover himself and the Matrix which the sequels couldn't re-discover. Looks like they're returning to that in this 4th film and that could be a masterstroke so long as it's not just a complete re-hash of the first. It's got me super excited anyway in the hope that it can rediscover the feeling of the first and transport me back over 20 years to a teenage me watching that first film for the first time.... bound to be a let-down now! Edit. Just remembered that most of my GCSE creative writing exam stories (both english and welsh) were also influenced by the Matrix. Can't remember any of the rubbish I actually wrote (it must have been truly dreadful), but remember using weird character names influenced by the Matrix which probably didn't fit at all! [/QUOTE]
