(The naked-running donkey can't afford to hurt, so ask for a recommendation ticket with an update!) Thank you for the rewards and bows of the friends of "Dream Back to China", "I Want to Say and Forget Jì", "The Tenderness of the Moon", "The Residual Thoughts of Wanting to Write a Book", and "Guan Erle". ）

And in the whole of North America, the word about movies has just begun to ferment.

"The movie is just amazing."

"Oh my God, the plot is interlocking, the plot is tense and exciting, and the pace is so fast that it's almost breathless."

"My bladder is swollen for two hours, and if I get cystitis because of it, I must go to Neo."

"Neo is so handsome, I want to buy a black trench coat with the same style as him. And Trinity, I don't think there's a cooler woman on the whole big screen. ”

Fans who had just finished watching the movie were so excited that they rushed home to some movie websites to score and write reviews for "The Matrix".

Xu slept too late, and when Chen Tiandu woke up, it was already noon, and he was woken up by room service. It was found that Kate was no longer around, and a note was left on the table. She still has propaganda work to do today, and she left quietly without waking up Chen Tian. There was also a lipstick mark on the message, and he couldn't help but grin.

The phone rang, it was Kong Yiji, "Lao Chen, are you awake?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Then I'll go."

By the time Chen Tiandu walked into the living room in a nightgown that was still a little sleepy, Kong Yiji had already hugged a thick bundle of newspapers and rushed in, "Old Chen, look, today's newspaper!" ”

"So much, you want me to be unable to get out." Chen Tiandu pushed away in disgust, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"Breakfast? Lunch was pretty much the same. Kong Yiji scoffed, "Look at it, there are a lot of praises for us." ”

The Internet is not very developed in China, and newspapers and television are still the main channels for people to get information. Therefore, Kong Yiji still habitually favors paper media, and asks for a copy of all the top ten newspapers in the United States in the morning in the morning. Fortunately, the newspaper has been sorted out, and it has all been turned to the entertainment section.

Chen Tiandu picked up the "Los Angeles Times" and asked while scanning the content: "Is the eighth master gone?" ”

"The plane in the early hours of the morning, just left." Kong Yiji replied, "Don't worry, I've sent off the eighth master." He will take care of what you said. ”

At the dinner yesterday, Yuan Heping had already said goodbye to everyone, since he completed the work of "The Matrix", he took on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee as soon as he went back. This is a critical moment for filming, if you are not invited to attend the premiere, maybe you won't come, and you are in a hurry to go back to filming.

Chen Tiandu nodded, casually stuffed the breakfast bread delivered by the room service into his mouth, and looked at the contents of the newspaper. There was also a disaster blockbuster released at the same time yesterday, Warner's "Shark of the Deep", but unfortunately there was very little coverage in the media, and almost all of the space was given to "The Matrix".

"This is a sci-fi masterpiece full of unique styles, a masterpiece full of surprises. Science fiction is usually limited to science, and science usually precedes technology. The most common science fiction is scientifically developed and rarely involves other content. For action movies, it is even more boring except for special effects.

First of all, I would like to comment on the name of the movie, which I think is brilliant:

The-Matrix (Note 1), Matrix has six meanings in Marriam-Webster. Matrix describes the birthplace of production and development. This meaning is very consistent with the fact that the machine qì originates from human wisdom and that human society relies on the machine qì to continue.

At yesterday's premiere, our reporter had the honor to interview the film director, screenwriter, and starring Christmas Chen, who revealed that the story consists of three parts, and he hopes to finish filming all three stories. He told the reporter that The Matrix was a modern-day version of the New Testament.

There will be more stories going on, and if you read the New Testament, then a lot of questions will be answered, and the answers are in Bible. The first part will talk about the "truth", the second part will talk about the "inducement", and the third part will tell the story of "choice".

For now, after watching the first movie, the author is very willing to watch the sequel story.

Secondly, about the content of this film. In addition to the unique charm of Chinese kung fu and the peculiar oriental scenery of the Great Wall of China, Wudang Mountain and other places, it is very important to note that this film covers a lot of philosophical and religious content, which has to be said in science fiction action movies, which is really good.

In Hegel's theory of alienation, it is mentioned that when things develop to a certain stage, they will alienate themselves into their opposite, and the development of the alien will eventually replace the ontology, and the invention of the machine will eventually be replaced by the machine. There are also many philosophical classic lines in the film, which are very evocative.

Again, I won't spoil it, the author gives a rating of 5 points. ”

"That seems like a good review." Chen Tiandu raised his eyebrows and said, but Kong Yiji was happier than him, "Look below, there is more." ”

"Sci-fi movies are full of new ideas, new and bold imaginations, and now my brain is very confused. It's been years since I've seen a film with such a unique style, and every minute from beginning to end reveals the director's sincerity. Sorry, I thought, I need a cigarette and a night to reminisce about this movie! ”

A film critic was interviewed like this, and he politely said that he wanted to say too much, but it was precisely because he wanted to say too much that he couldn't say it, a very smart way to answer.

"I love Kate Beckinsale so much, her movies used to be so good but nothing was outstanding. But this movie completely subverted my opinion, Kate is definitely the best, the beauty of the god of war, and I think that tight leather jacket will become one of the indelible symbols of her acting career in the future. There is also Charlize Theron, who has played too many sweet girl roles before, and this time the cold female agent is very scene-stealing, although the role is not big, but it is very scene-stealing, I like them so much! There were even two fans of the actress who excitedly showed their love in an interview. The charm of the classic shape is really irresistible to everyone.

Not only the "Los Angeles Times", but also in the "Hollywood Reporter" newspaper, the big picture of the entertainment section is a neat white shirt and black trousers at the premiere.

One hundred and fifty people rated it on IMDB, and the score was as high as 8.3 points. Of course, this number will decrease as the number of ratings increases, but the first day of this rating is enough to attract more audiences to the cinema.

The movie has an A rating on Cinemascore, and the freshness rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website is 91%, and the market prospect is generally optimistic.

And there is no shortage of topics on the Internet where men in black and sunglasses salute passers-by, once again igniting the topic of "The Matrix" that has been hyped for several months.

Countless netizens who have watched or know the promotional content of "The Matrix", seeing this overwhelming fan review, those sleeping memories have gradually awakened, and they gradually wonder when to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

Don't think about it, it's Friday, "Hey, honey, shall we watch a movie?" ”

Jack Allen of New Jersey is an insurance salesman who doesn't live well, and although he is a movie lover, he doesn't go to the cinema much.

"Now? Why, is there any good video? ”

"Yes, it's called 'The Matrix', which seems to have a very good review."

"Hey, I think I know about that movie. Since it's the weekend, let's go check it out, it just so happens that Kurt is also on vacation. "Oh, probably not, which movie is R-rated." "Damn, I'll have to leave Kurt home alone."

Chen Tiandu, who was in the hotel, sat on the sofa, smiling and carefully scanning the words and photos in the newspaper, feeling better and better. The reviews basically praise him, and the plot of the movie, the acting skills of the leading actors, and the fast pace of the plot are refreshing.

The most important thing is that this evaluation is more than the original evaluation.

He is not complacent, with the help of the artifact, if he can't break through the previous work, he can simply find a piece of tofu and kill him.

But no one doesn't like to hear other people's compliments, and he is very satisfied, which means that they have got a good start, although it is still the first Friday, and the real movie-watching craze has not yet started, but whether the box office of "The Matrix" will be a big hit, it will be on the way, and it will also be affected by the word-of-mouth of these people.

"The Washington Post" also commented on "Deep Sea Shark" released at the same time, "Both movies have Warner, and this "Deep Sea Shark" is also full of sincerity, and the thrilling scenes are in place, but compared with "The Matrix", it seems to lack creativity, and the audience's choice is clear at a glance......"

On Friday, August 7th, a new week of movie screenings began, and the 3,200 theaters of The Matrix in North America officially welcomed the first wave of enthusiastic fans. On this day, as soon as the school bell rang, countless student movie fans rushed to leave the school, and many office workers, throwing their bags left and right, discussed going to see a movie together.

Then rush to a nearby movie theater to get ready to buy a ticket to The Matrix. But to the surprise of many viewers, the tickets for the first show were sold out, and the red words "sold out" on the electronic ticket board showed how popular the movie was.

The Jack Allen family suffered the same situation, "Sir, there are still tickets at eleven o'clock, do you need to buy them?" The black girl conductor politely introduced.

"Do you want to see it? Is it too late, the subway is closed. The wife was a little hesitant. Jack gritted his teeth and discussed, "We can take a taxi." ”

"Give me two tickets, 'The Matrix'." They were still discussing, and a white man next to Leng Buding couldn't wait to cut in line and bought a ticket.

"Okay, please wait." The conductor issued the ticket quickly.

"Hey, we got in line first." Jack shouted in displeasure. The conductor said helplessly: "Sir, there are less than twenty tickets, do you still need them?" ”

Jack gritted his teeth, "Buy, two in a row." ”

"Damn, how could this be." In a movie theater in Los Angeles, a Chinese high school student looks pitifully at the conductor, he is a second-generation immigrant who used to like to watch movies by Chen Long and Li Lianjie. But they are all kung fu stars, and Chinese want to break into Hollywood, as if they can't do anything but kung fu. Now that a star who is not famous by kung fu has finally come out, it is said that it is still a science fiction film, why should he come to see it, "Just cheer for his compatriots." ”

Unexpectedly, the movie has reached the point where Cheng Dù doesn't need him to cheer at all, and he didn't even have a ticket when he came late.

(Note 1: Actually, I don't like the Chinese translation, neither of which is accurate.) The first translation is The Matrix, which first comes to mind. The second translation is the Hong Kong version of the 22nd Century Killing Network, and the person who translates this name can die. ）
