[lbo-talk] Matrix

[Dennis Perrin]

"All this digital wizardry is both thrilling and, for those of us who loved the realness of 'The Matrix,' a little worrisome. But Mr. Gaeta assured me that 'The Matrix Reloaded' will feel just as real. It's possible, he suggested, that the next time anyone writes about the influence of 'The Matrix,' it won't be on movies but on government and the military -- a grim irony for a film about the empowerment of the individual in a world of technology run amok. 

" 'The subtleties of reality manipulation in your life are all around, and they're becoming denser and more sophisticated and more intimidating every day,' Mr. Gaeta said. 'I've often said that the visual effects technicians of today will be the social engineers of the future.' "
