Matrix
Yesterday, and after a long time, I sat down to watch one of the classic films I had on my to do list (yes, I had seen the Matrix, but not the whole thing).
It's worth noting that I've always been a film lover (not very professionally) but in my forties, although it seems like it should have been the opposite, I stopped watching films on my own; that is, I stopped dedicating my free time to this kind of activities, and I would only watch them at some family gathering and they were mostly of those silly, family films (which I love, but we know they're not great movies).
But as it turns out, yesterday I got up the courage to watch the Matrix with a friend and it reminded me of the times when I used to enjoy them a lot and was given the task of critiquing and admiring the work of the Matrix.
For this reason, I decided to create a section in my blog with this, I don't promise constancy, but somewhere to start. And what better way to do it than with a film like Matrix?
Matrix
Ayer, y despu茅s de mucho tiempo me sent茅 a ver una pel铆cula cl谩sica de las que ten铆a en mi to do list (si, hab铆a visto Matrix, pero no completa).
Cabe recalcar que desde siempre he sido amante del cine (no muy profesionalmente) pero en la cuarentena, aunque parezca que debi贸 ser lo contrario, dej茅 de ver pel铆culas por mi propia cuenta; es decir, dej茅 de dedicarle de mi tiempo libre a este tipo de actividades, y solo las ver铆a en alguna reuni贸n familiar y eran en su mayor铆a de esas pel铆culas tontas y familiares (que me encantan, pero sabemos que no son peliculones).
Pero resulta, que ayer me anim茅 a ver Matrix con un amigo y me hizo recordar los tiempos en que sol铆a disfrutar mucho de ellas y me daba la tarea de criticar y admirar el trabajo de la misma.
Por esta raz贸n, me anim茅 a crear una secci贸n en mi blog con esto, no prometo constancia, pero por alg煤n lugar se empieza 驴Y qu茅 mejor forma de hacerlo que con una pel铆cula como Matrix?

The Matrix is the first film in the Matrix trilogy, written and directed by the Wachowski sisters. It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving in the lead roles.
The film is about what the world is like in approximately 2200, how technology beat the human race and artificial intelligence managed to hold us captive in an imaginary world, controlling our minds.
We ended up with the source of energy in the world and the programs discovered that we are energetic entities that works for them, therefore, they captured us and connected us to an imaginary world where we live a "normal" life called Matrix.
Matrix es la primera pel铆cula de la trilog铆a Matrix, escritas y dirigidas por las hermanas Wachowski. Est谩n protagonizadas en sus papeles principales por Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss y Hugo Weaving.
La pel铆cula trata de c贸mo es el mundo en el 2200 aproximadamente, c贸mo la tecnolog铆a le gan贸 a la raza humana y la inteligencia artificial logr贸, mantenernos cautivos en un mundo imaginario, controlando nuestra mente.
Nosotros acabamos con la fuente de energ铆a en el mundo y los programas descubrieron que nosotros somos entes en茅rgicos que les funciona para ellos, por lo tanto, nos capturaron y nos conectaron a un mundo imaginario en donde hacemos vida 篓normal篓 llamada Matrix.
There are impressive details, like the way they keep the sequence of the film, because when they enter the 篓matrix篓 everything is seen with a greener tone, they don't have the elements of connection to it visible.
Although it seems that they didn't have much budget to film or much technology, they managed to create a very good film, more than anything by the story, since from the beginning it captures you and makes you stay watching it until the end, since it doesn't explain you from the beginning what it is about, but it gives you clues until you can get to the meaning of it.
Hay detalles impresionante, como la forma en que mantienen la secuencia de la pel铆cula, ya que cuando entran al 篓matrix篓 se ve todo con un tono m谩s verde, no tienen los elementos de conexi贸n a ella visibles.
A pesar de que parece que no ten铆an mucho presupuesto para grabar o mucha tecnolog铆a, lograron crear una muy buena pel铆cula, m谩s que nada por la historia, ya que desde un inicio te captura y hace que te quedes mir谩ndola hasta el final, ya que no te explica desde el inicio de que trata, si no que te va dando pistas hasta poder llegar a el significado de la misma.

Anyone who sees it superficially sees it as a simple film, but they make a lot of allegories about how everything is in the mind, that the mind controls everything, because when you die in the Matrix, you die the same way in real life, because of the power of the mind.
It talks about destiny and how we can supposedly be masters of it. It makes us question whether we really live in the Matrix or in real life.
It has funny scenes, like when they are training, with a disc they can download all the information they need to know kung fu or any martial art.
Cualquiera que la ve superficialmente, la ve como una pel铆cula simple, pero hacen muchas alegor铆as de c贸mo todo est谩 en la mente, que esta es la que controla todo, porque cuando uno muere en la Matrix, muere de igual forma en la vida real, por el poder que tiene la mente.
Habla del destino y de como supuestamente podemos ser due帽os del mismo. Nos hace cuestionar si realmente vivimos en la Matrix o en la vida real.
Tiene escenas c贸micas, como cuando est谩n entren谩ndose, con un disco pueden descargar toda la informaci贸n que necesitan para saber kung fu o cualquier arte marcial.
