Just watched The Matrix with the kids. It was pretty interesting to see that film for the first time in 16 years.
Sure there were old computers and
wired telephones, so you could easily tell what time period it was from,
but the real giveaway was that nineties sensibility that it had. The
part where they storm the building, and the cool music plays as they
shoot away in slow motion with guns in each hand destroying everything
and everybody without mussing their hair or getting
any dust on their all black outfits. You could swap out Keanu for
Nicholas Cage or John Travolta or Chow Yun Fat or Antonio Banderas or
Val Kilmer and it could be any other movie from the nineties.
The funny thing is that it still works, despite the obvious formula. Every one of my kids thought that was cool.
