“And Oppa Homeless Style? Never happened, it was invented by a writer.”
“Do you like the color of the sky?”
“Ever had a girlfriend? What about three girlfriends?”
“What does the letter ‘K’ mean to you?”
“Have you ever had someone compliment your shoelaces? Would you tell them where you got them from? Even if you stole them from someone very important? Would you tell them the truth?”
“Do you own a pet? Has it ever gotten into something that it really shouldn’t be eating? How about chocolate fondue?”
The movie The Matrix, released in 1999 and directed by Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, was shot on film using Pan-Arri 435 Camera, Panavision Panaflex Platinum Camera, Panavision Panastar Camera, Photo-Sonics Cameras and Panavision Lenses with Bill Pope as cinematographer and editing by Zach Staenberg.
Slow motion and bullet time camera rigs were used to capture intricacies of motion that would be lost at full speed, giving the viewer a look at every angle of what is happening on screen. Circular slow motion sweeping camera movement are used in three iconic scenes; Trinity’s jump kick, the Neo bullet dodge, and the first shot in the subway fight scene. Further, a God’s Eye shot is used during the subway fight scene as well. These techniques inform the viewer of a heightened reality within the fight. The entirety of the fight is over-the-top and action-packed, but when they hit you with an extreme camera angle or camera movement, the viewer knows the fight is peaking.
