I will go on record stating The Matrix is one of the best movies ever made… and that Reloaded and Revolution are not so good. As action movies they’re quite alright, but the great philosophical content that the original offered, was merely unimpressive in the follow-ups. Reloaded and Revolution presumed to explain too much, turned on the symbolism to thick and were far too smart for their own good. The original by itself was a nice contained story that left enough to be desired.
Sometimes keeping some bits covered, makes the entire package look more appealing… like lingerie.
The links to these essays provide interesting insights into the deeper symbolisms in Reloaded and Revolutions. Gotta hand it to the guy Brian Takle, there’s a lot of hidden trap doors in there that I missed.
The essays are pretty strongly worded, and not for the close-of-mind. Also it helps if you actually saw the movies.
