The Matrix (1999) This is a FREE showing, sponsored by the Student Activities Office. Freshmen will receive preferred admission for the Friday showing. "a film that's as likely to transfix fans of computer gamesmanship
as to baffle anyone with quaintly humanistic notions of life on earth" "An apocalypse of kinetic joy." Neo was a brilliant computer hacker who one day woke up. That is, he was given the opportunity...and took it, in the form of a bright red pill...to see that the entire life that he had known was just a simulation, run by artificial intelligence which used human life as an energy source. His hacking talents were just what the others who had chosen life outside the Matrix needed; they believed he was The One, their Messiah. Embark upon a journey unlike any other, and fight with Neo to free the human race from its unwitting slavery. Is he The One? Can the human race prevail? The unique viewpoint and cutting-edge special effects have made this movie an instant classic, and the metric by which every science fiction movie made since is measured. Starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving. And, if you're aching for more of the story after you see this one, don't despair! LSC is showing the second installment...The Matrix Reloaded...just a few days later, on Registration Day! |
