Fyron, Fyron, how can you say something like this?
The Matrix is the best movie ever, not because of the XFs, or filmaking, or acting, but because it made us think.
It came out in the Last year of the Last century, and quietly it managed to put into the mainstream its warning against brainwashing and media manipulation, it questioned our very way of life, it blew the whistled in the very same industry to which it belongs to.
Because, Fyron, in the end we are nothing more than batteries, powering a corporate world from where we can't escape. We work for them, they pay us, and we give them back our paycheck with profits. We are raised to be good citizens, to pay our taxes, to fuel their economy consuming their goods, to use credit cards with money that we don't even have yet, to fuel them even faster.

We are slaves, Fyron, a new kind of slave that work for 8 hours a day and get 4 weeks of vacation. We are sent to colleges to become better slaves, more profitable slaves, and thus better paid, we can even change the urban plantation in which we work, we can even quit and look for a better paying plantation, but we can't escape our master, this system created to enslave us for ever and ever. There is no hope. We need a Neo. Or....
