Reloaded

I realize my blog has been turning into Crystal's Wall of Quotes so I will refrain from writing the entire Matrix Reloaded script in this entry. Nine hours after I finished the movie I am still kind of in shock, its one of those "did that really just happen?" kind of feelings. It might be the best movie I have ever seen. Actually I think I should say Matrix Reloaded is the best movie I have ever encountered. Its amazing how it sucked me in and made me scream, get pumped up, smile and cry all in 2h 18min. I could write for hours about how when the One was being attacked by a growing number of evil guys he didn't get tired or worn out but his strength grew, or how when the council needed volunteers to go take a risk Nairobi stopped worrying about what others would think and went to seek out the One, but I'll stop here for today and just say watch the movie! I thought the slow motion fighting and running up walls was going to make the movie really cheezy, but when I realized that its actually the characters realizing they are not held down by the "rules" of this world it wasn't cheezy, it was way cool.

The Matrix Reloaded the first R-rated movie to got me to understand how "the same God can speak to me through R-rated films... while calling me to flee from sexual immorality" (see entry "Pop Goes the Church" Sept 23)
