Critique - The Matrix
The Movie that Changed the World
Of all the great cinematic art to grace the big screen in the late 90's, arguably none had a greater impact than 1999's, 'The Matrix'. This revolutionary film would not only receive worldwide recognition, but its style and use of ‘bullet time’ visual effects are still used in movies today.

La chaqueta de cuero
White people, Miguel mused, have the craziest names for alcoholic drinks. Take this shot, for example. A little Jäegermeister, rum, and some Goldschläger, and you had a drink they called, 'Liquid Cocaine'. The color reminded him more of caramel candy than any of the white powdered stuff he'd ever seen. Maybe cocaine is brown before the refinement process starts, who knows?

This is a great critique, Kenny! So on point and I love that image! I remember when The Matrix came out and all the fuss that was made about "bullet time". It was amazing how much impact one film can have on everything that follows it. Well done in encapsulating that with such a short word count!
Great review, and it still boggles my mind that they even used the effects in Shrek!
I love that movie, still need to see the newest one!
I love the Matrix, you are right it is revolutionary! Everything there is a new world!
I may be the only human who hasn't watched this, lol! Excellent review!
