"When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The Matrix" - among the movies directed by Xu Cun, the top three works!"

"When the living world proves to be an illusion, then what is there to believe? Mr. Xu Cun used a story similar to the resurrection of Christ to announce the birth of a savior in the matrix world. He came up with the idea that, like a cheat in a computer game, you can do anything if you know how this virtual world works. So, in the bullish bullet time, the god of the new world was born. ”

"A strong sense of apocalypse, radical dystopian metaphors, and a collection of cyberpunk elements are destined to make "The Matrix" a classic that is bound to leave a strong mark on the history of science fiction and cinema. ”

"The moment everyone walks out of the dark theater and returns to the colorful real world after watching the movie, they may have a sudden feeling: how to prove that the world we live in is not another matrix?"

"The greatness of The Matrix lies in that, for the first time, the bewildering similarities between reality and illusion, between reality and dreams, are presented in front of people in a cinematic way, forcing every viewer to think about what is true and what is false. While the film makes extremely pessimistic statements for the future of mankind, it also puts the spirit of resistance throughout the story. ”

After the box office performance of The Matrix plunged in the second week, everyone who read "The Matrix" was desperately praising "The Matrix", especially the film critics who had been hungry for a long time, and they went out of their way to praise "The Matrix" - as if the most conscientious salesman was selling their most satisfying product.

But-

Even though there are too many, too many people who say good things about "The Matrix", and it can also be said that they are aggrieved by the box office results of "The Matrix", this still can't change the indisputable fact that a large part of the audience can't understand "The Matrix", even if "The Matrix" is the most simple and easy-to-understand part of the "Matrix" trilogy.

But the audience can't be blamed for that.

In fact, "The Matrix" is really too far ahead of its time!

Not to mention, 'artificial intelligence', a new concept that has been ahead of this era for countless years, even the words 'electronic computer', 'hacker', and 'matrix', which have long been circulated in the field of electronic computers, are question marks for many people today.

Even, at the beginning of the release of "The Matrix", some people still advocated that Xu Cun was a prophet.

Of course, there are also people who say that Xu Cun is a dreamer.

But-

Whether it is a prophet or a visionary, they did not stay on Xu Cun for too long, because soon someone brought out the originator of computers, Turing, and said: 'Artificial intelligence' is a theoretical hypothesis made by Turing God decades ago, and Xu Cun just interpreted 'artificial intelligence' in the form of a movie.

In short, as soon as "The Matrix" was released, Xu Cun and his "The Matrix" became a topic of discussion among the people of Xiangjiang, and even developed to the point that chatting without saying a word about Xu Cun or "The Matrix" seemed to be derailed from this era.

In this strange situation, "The Matrix" was drawn from Shuangnan Cinemas and Debao Cinemas, and even in free cinemas other than Anle Cinemas.

In other words, "The Matrix" was released in less than 10 days, and it was sharply reduced from being co-screened in 80 theaters and movie theaters to being released in less than 30 theaters and movie theaters.

And "Detective Chocolate", which has been besieged and strangled by "The Matrix", took this opportunity to rejuvenate its second spring, and after nearly ten days of release, the box office performance actually rose - obviously, the part of the audience that can't understand "The Matrix" prefers the Xu brothers' comedy movies that can make them laugh.

But what followed was a dramatic scene - Xu Guanwen actually praised "The Matrix" in front of a lot of media when he was interviewed, saying that "The Matrix" is definitely one of the top ten good movies in world film history.

It's a pity -

Even if Xu Guanwen, an opponent, also raises "The Matrix", it still can't change the fact that "The Matrix" is sluggish at the box office.

Does that mean that "The Matrix" will collapse like this?

The answer is really no - no!

Although the box office results of "The Matrix" began to languish after a week of release, new audiences have been entering theaters to watch "The Matrix" under the touting of those who genuinely love "The Matrix".

In addition, because there are so many obscure things in "The Matrix", some particularly serious audiences have repeatedly walked into the theater to watch "The Matrix", trying to understand what "The Matrix" is about, and there are not a few of these audiences.

What's more, a few winds blowing from overseas also made "The Matrix" unable to sink into the sand.

The first wind is the overseas box office of "The Matrix" - although the box office results of "The Matrix" in North America, Central and South America, and Europe cannot be compared with the box office results achieved by several films directed by Xu Cun in North America, Central and South America, and Europe, "The Matrix" has also achieved nearly 100 million US dollars at the box office in North America, Central and South America, and Europe within ten days, and has also achieved good box office results in Nanyang and Japan (in South Korea and the mainland, "The Matrix" 's box office results are relatively average, neither too good nor too bad. ）。 Therefore, judging from the comprehensive box office results, "The Matrix" is indeed not a bad movie.

The second wind is the "Matrix" film reviews - in addition to the general comment of "I can't understand", the reviews about "The Matrix" from any country are full of praise.

The third wind is unexpected, religion - some Christian liberals say that we are living in a world where the way out of this world is to be indoctrinated, to be enlightened. They believe that the people who reached enlightenment were Abraham (according to legend to be the first ancestor of the Hebrews), Moses (the ancient leader of the Jews in the biblical story), John the Baptist, Jesus, and Muhammad (the founder of Islam). They believe that the Neo, Morpheus, and Cypher in the movie correspond to Jesus, John the Baptist, and Judas in the New Testament of the Bible. These Christian liberals believe that the only difference between the Matrix and reality is that the outside world should be heaven and not the dark world as depicted in the movie.

Due to various factors, "The Matrix" actually violated the consistent release rules of Hong Kong films - although the box office of "The Matrix" began to languish from a week after its release. But "The Matrix" did not deteriorate rapidly after the box office performance plummeted like other Xiangjiang movies, and then had to be painted. After the number of theaters and movie theaters of "The Matrix" dropped to less than 30, the box office performance also deteriorated, but the magnitude was very small, so that the release time of "The Matrix" in Xiangjiang was as long as three months!

In addition, the discussion about "The Matrix" has not only not become a thing of the past with time, but has even intensified, and in many Western countries even organized professional academic research societies to study "The Matrix", and several of the larger academic research societies also invited Xu Cun to participate in the discussion!
