Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Wachowskis made the cast read Baudrillard's 'Simulacra and Simulation' — the hollowed-out book Neo hides his disks in.
This single film birthed 'red pill' as cultural shorthand, later hijacked by online movements the Wachowskis absolutely despise.

I own the 4K but never got to enjoy it on the big screen. This is a must watch for me
@Kazimation 14
saw it on the big screen the first night of initial release - it was the MOST talked conversational piece we had in decade back then - it made a thinker out of everyone - but then came along inception the movie - awwwwe! it took breath away even further - entire silicon valley - every programmer was literally under the impression that a sleep is just a doorway to someone else's reality which all orchestrated by the matrix - trust me this film is the ONE -
