A film you watch to feel down - The Matrix Trilogy I know what you are all thinking: how could this film cause someone to feel down? Does he think that this is really the truth to the universe and was part of a cult of people that believe this film is real? Well, no. Its a fine saga, no questions asked. But one thing I have learned about movies: the emotions and memories you associate with a film are always present. Back in April, my mother (my only remaining parent I had after my fathers death) passed away. Now, I tend to watch The Godfather religiously and her film she watched to that extreme and studied was The Matrix. For her, the film was symbolic of her own life, her thinking she was trapped in a world where she was a slave to and wished for a way to escape everything: her pain (physical and emotional), her stress, her own personal Hell she was thrown into. When she watched The Matrix, she was able to dream of escaping. While I was able to return back into my regular life, watching any of The Matrix films will cause me to think back on my mother and while I remember my good memories with my mother, the haunting realization that she is gone will slowly enter my mind.
