Matrix Revelations

What is The Matrix? Groundbreaking, innovative and much imitated, The Matrix trilogy represents the most talked about cinematic experience in recent years. Unrivalled in uniting serious philosophical thought with serious box office, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions occupy a unique place in popular culture. Matrix Revelations: A Thinking Fan’s Guide to the Matrix Trilogy examines the Matrix phenomenon, with in-depth analysis ranging from the science fiction and comic book influences to the philosophical and religious themes that underpin the films. If you love The Matrix and don’t just fast-forward from one action scene to the next, then open up the pages of this book and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Matrix Revelations: A Thinking Fan’s Guide to the Matrix Trilogy is the first in the Thinking Fan’s Guide series. We believe it was the first book to be published covering the whole trilogy – our publication date of 11 December 2003 was just 36 days after The Matrix Revolutions was released in cinemas across the world! The writers/directors Andy and Larry Wachowski used a powerful story to raise very big questions from beginning to end of the Matrix trilogy (despite the failure of some film critics to realise this). This book enables you to identify and consider those questions.
