Description
The Matrix by Joshua Clover explores the groundbreaking film that was a true statement of the American zeitgeist at the turn of the millennium. Directed by the Wachowski sisters and produced by Joel Silver, it blended science fiction with conspiracy thriller conventions and outlandish martial arts created with innovative digital techniques. Clover examines the film's digital effects and how they were achieved, showing how The Matrix represents a melding of cinema and video games. He also unpacks the movie's references to philosophy, revealing how the film expresses the crisis American culture faced at the end of the 1990s. This study provides a compelling analysis of the film's enduring influence on big-budget Hollywood filmmaking.
