The Matrix is a landmark in modern science fiction cinema. SF fans are absorbed in the revolutionary special effects and the convincingly depicted dystopia narrative; action movie buffs relish the conjunction of Hong Kong martial arts techniques with mainstream Hollywood aesthetics; and intellectuals immerse themselves in the films explicit and deliberate evocation of Baudrillard and higher mathematics.
This pocket-sized book considers the diverse influences behind the film be it cinematic, philosophical, literary or comic book - together with its iconographic use of costumes, ground-breaking special effects and its stars, alongside its very particular industrial and ideological background, all in the context of the key concepts of Media Studies:
- Media Language - the narrative structure of the film, its iconography and generic hybridity
- Audiences and Institutions - The Matrix and its sequels as a seminal product of contemporary Hollywood
- Representation - the names, roles and actions of every major character discussed.
