"This is an epoch-making film that has never been seen before and has no future generations. It can be said that this film transcends the traditional concept of film. It has both visual impact and cultural, historical, philosophical and religious connotations. It can be said to be a film that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. You can view it as science fiction and action entertainment, or you can use it as a profound work to understand and reflect."

The film reviews given by the New York Times can be said to be very representative, and most mainstream media have praised the film.

"The Matrix can be recorded in the history of movies. There are very few science fiction films that can be compared with it in history. Some movies are very good, but not very deep, some movies are very deep but not good, and "The Matrix" is the kind of movie that is both good-looking and thought-provoking."

There are many more comments like this.

Compared with the praise received by the movie, the male and female protagonists - Keanu Reeves and Nicole Kidman. Although they were loved by the audience after the release of the movie and almost became synonymous with the movie, they were bombarded by film critics in terms of acting.

"Look at the faces of the hero and heroine who never have expressions in the movie, I admit it's cool, but they will definitely become the biggest hot candidates for the Golden Raspberry Awards next year."

As the original author, Ryan naturally attracted attention.

"The novel "The Matrix" has been published for many years and is almost ignored. It is one of Ryan's most unsuccessful novels. But who would have thought that after he expanded the novel into a movie, he would show such a strange world. The philosophy and ideas contained in it are even worth our careful study, even if he is a little pessimistic about the future and technology."

Although the movie has been popular among most film critics, its reputation among the audience is seriously polarized, and people who like it are simply loved to the extreme. People who don’t like it are simply disdainful. Of course, there are too many people who like it than people who don’t like it.

On the first three days of the week, "The Matrix" won more than $50 million in box office. Although it was much worse than the first week of "Star Wars Prequel 1", it triggered a trend of popularity in North America.

The cool outfit of the male and female protagonists in the movie has become the object of imitation by many movie fans and young people.

Even on the hot streets of Los Angeles, you can see many young people wearing black windbreakers, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and using Motorola flip phones. Every move they make is imitating Neo and Trinity in the video.

The various manufacturers who signed advertising contracts with the video almost smiled and said a little.

Although the various analysis of the movies on the Internet and the media has almost been a big deal, Ryan threw the series behind his head after watching the box office numbers in the first week. As he said, the excellent screenwriter and director will only say half or less in the film, leaving the audience with more room for imagination and the views they came up with. I am afraid that after watching it, he and the Wachowski brothers will be shocked.

From the moment the movie was released, what the audience thoughts exceeded the control of the producer. There were a hundred Hamlets in the minds of one hundred people.

Even if Ryan himself stood up and ran online to post related comments, he would probably be refuted by many movie fans to the point of being speechless.

"What is reality? What you see in your eyes is reality!"

Under the palm grove of the manor, Ryan was sitting on a rattan chair. He said to Taylor, who had just finished playing an etude, "Dear, that's just a movie."

Then he remembered that this was an R-rated film and asked, "Alison, who took you to the movie?"

Although Scott and Mrs. Andrea live in Beverly Hills, their neighbors are almost all Hollywood industry insiders, but they are not movie lovers.

"Of course it's me, is there any problem?"

Nicole walked under the palm tree with cold drinks and fruits and sat on another rattan chair, "Don't worry, Taylor understands the difference between movies and reality."

"That's right, I'm not a little brat anymore."

Taylor put her special practice guitar aside, retrieved the ice cream that Lisa made for her, swallowed a little bit, and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to be ten years old soon, and Ryan treats me like a brat."

After saying that, she vented a big bite of ice cream. She ate a little faster and a little more. She immediately widened her royal blue eyes, stuck out her tongue like a puppy, and gasped.

“Cool… so cool…”

Nicole quickly stood up, poured a glass of juice at room temperature, and fed her a sip, "Dear, if you continue like this, there will be no ice cream in the future."

"Okay." Taylor drooped his head, looking extremely well-behaved.

Ryan couldn't help but wonder. Although Taylor listened to Nicole, she was too well-behaved, right? Also, today, her mood has been relatively low, as if she had encountered some difficulties.

"Alison..." He looked at Nicole first, and the Australian girl shook her head slightly, and had to ask, "What happened? You seem to be unhappy today."

"When I came out of Warner Records today, I met that Stephanie Germanota. She laughed at me for getting ugly as I grew older..." The little girl was obviously a little depressed and touched her baby-fat face, "Actually... Actually, I also discovered this. I am not as beautiful as before."

"It's because of this?" Ryan lay back on the chair.

In fact, in his eyes, even Taylor was a little cute at best, and was far from being beautiful. Moreover, the little girl began to enter puberty, and her developmental appearance was inevitably a bit distorted.

"Isn't this enough?" Women, no matter how big or small, they love beauty, Taylor's eyes widened instantly, "I will be a singer in the future, and there will be countless opportunities to perform on stage, if not beautiful..."

"Then be a powerful person." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.

Taylor pouted, feeling wronged and seemed to cry at any time. Nicole pulled her to her side and held her in her arms to comfort her, "Okay, my dear, Ryan is just kidding."

"Ryan..."

As the light blue eyes swept over, Ryan had to reach out and rub Taylor's curly hair. The little girl tilted her head to avoid it, and wrinkled her nose at him in anger.

"So, Alison." Ryan said with a correct expression and extremely serious, "You have always claimed to be a senior in Hollywood..."

"It's not that I claim to be, it's just that." Taylor blinked at him on purpose.

"Okay." Ryan was too lazy to care about these words with her, "Then have you discovered a common law in Hollywood child stars?"

"Yes." said the little girl without hesitation, "when she grows up, she falls like her dear Drew."

"Of course, you and Nat are exceptions." She quickly added.

"I'm not talking about this." Ryan shook his head.

"What the hell is that?"

"Dear, haven't you noticed that the child stars who are cute and beautiful when they were young will become ugly when they grow up." Ryan talked about the experiences of most Hollywood child stars, "and those very beautiful female stars are not beautiful when they were young, or even ugly."

"For example... the little fat girl." Taylor's eyes lit up, and then he turned into a frustrated look, "But, you and Nat have not become ugly."

"Didn't you say that Nat and I are exceptions." Ryan's face has always been very thick.

"You mean..." the little girl jumped out of Nicole's arms, "Will I be beautiful when I grow up?"

It may not be very beautiful, but it has nothing to do with being ugly.

Although he was thinking this way, Ryan would not say that, "I promise, my dear, you will definitely be a beautiful blonde lady when you grow up."

"I still have to grow taller." In the eyes of the little girl, what Ryan said seemed to be able to achieve.

"Is it okay to be taller than Nicole?" Ryan closed his eyes, but Taylor jumped to the chair and shouted in his ear, "Is six feet good?"

"If I can represent God," Ryan pushed her little head back and said to Nicole, "You play with her and I'll sleep for a while."

"Ryan, are you sure you want to do this?" Nicole suddenly asked without any endings. However, Ryan understood what she meant, waved her hand casually, and said, "Nicole, I asked someone to register the Pirates of the Caribbean as a trademark. This does not mean what to do now. If Disney really wants to target us with Michael Eisner in the future, we will always have some counterattack methods."

Nicole was silent. She knew that over the past few years, Michael Eisner had used many methods in private, such as the free paparazzi, who was planning a counterattack or a counterattack that cut off the opponent's retreat.

Lying on the rattan chair, Ryan closed his eyes and was thinking that the United States had a highly developed business and had a mature professional manager system. In fact, his foundation and the companies under his name also adopted this business model. Michael Eisner may have Disney shares, but he will definitely not have many.

To put it bluntly, the one he can rely on is Walt Disney. Without Walt Disney, he would just be a senior professional manager with some money.

The best way to deal with such a person is definitely not to start a war with the entire Disney, but to drive him off the stage.

However, Michael Eisner has developed Disney from a billion-dollar animation giant to a large media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. With the support of many shareholders and directors, it is not easy to rush Disney to step down before it shows his fatigue.

In fact, Disney's problems in recent years have shown signs of vagueness. The animation department is not valued, and there is a lack of powerful works in live-action movies. Even though the acquired ABC TV station has not turned losses into profits yet, and Michael Eisner has almost held all the power in his hands. The arbitrary tyrant style has caused more and more people to be dissatisfied.
