"The Matrix"

The film I chose to analyze is the world wide known film,The Matrix by the Wachowski brothers. I will analyze this film in the Formalist point of view. This film was recognized for its strong editing. It won numerous Oscars, for film editing, sound effects editing, visual effects, and sound. The sophistication brought by this film made it possible for future films to open up to the new technology.

Wikipedia states that an example in technology was that, "Following The Matrix, films made abundant use of slow-motion, spinning cameras, and, often, the famed bullet time effect of a character freezing or slowing down and the camera panning around them."
