Article on the Upcoming Matrix Reloaded Film

I'm very excited about the Matrix movies being released, not only because I think they will kick much ass, but because our culture is going to be submerged in the ideology of The Matrix. It's, all in all, going to make for an interesting time in American experience. Blake's "mind-forged manacles" may take on an additional context in the next few months! An Excerpt:

"There's a profound unhappiness at work, a feeling that there's something wrong with the world, something amiss," Davis adds. "And people can easily begin to believe that what we know is actually an illusion, and that there may be some other, better world outside of it. Once you start asking what is and isn't real, you start to connect up with much older ideas, whether it's Gnosticism or the Hindu idea that everything is maya [the illusion of the reality of sensory experience], and that, in turn, becomes good fodder for films like 'Blade Runner' [1982], 'The Truman Show' [1998] and 'Dark City' [1998]."
