15 Years Later, The Matrix Still
Has Us
Like other visionary
blockbusters before it, The Matrix took all these preexisting elements
and found a compelling way to channel them into the mainstream. We like our
movies to be escapist fantasies, but we also like to pretend that they have a
semblance of realism — that they are on some level plausible. We don’t
generally like it when ordinary people fly through the air with guns or make
impossible jumps. But in The Matrix, all these actions are happening in a
virtual world — a world that, while it mostly adheres to the contours and rules
of reality, can be hacked. And so, when characters walk on walls and dive
laterally from one building to another, it’s a sign not of their physical
strength, but of their ability to cheat the rules of the real. The movie
establishes a framework in which the impossible can
happen.
