When people around me said that it was all just another money-machine, I looked for hidden biblical references and saw it as many times as my wallet could allow.
#Where is the matrix screensaver located movie#
I can’t stay mad at the movie it has given me so much. I love the movies so much that I don’t bother to complain when I see the camera in the Oracles front doorknob, or the thin cord that pulls the bug out of Thomas’ stomach after he was raped. how cant you help but drop your jaw every time trinity jumps from one building to another, or when the machines invade Zion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in awe of all the visuals. My father bought me some matrix philosophy books that I read more than one time, like Simulacra and Simulation, exploring the Matrix, Out of control and five other books that are mainly about the philosophical side. When I worked in the local theatre I got to see the first movie a lot of times, bought the DVD, Revisited and the Animatrix. I spent almost eight months on it, as it was a project in school (I got an A by the way). I’ve made eight short films, one of which is a 15 minute documentary about why a philosopher, a movie critic, my father and a friend of mine likes the movies so much. I’m also a serious aspiring moviemaker (if I may say so). I can’t say that I understand everything, I’m only twenty years old, but I like to read it anyhow, and Matrix or not, philosophy is really interesting. Before I saw the Matrix, I didn’t know why he bothered, but then I started reading books of his shelf and now I’ve read quite a few. My father studies Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and translated, among others, The allegory of the cave to Norwegian (as the only Norwegian edition). The reason that I’m more of a fanatic than your run-of-the-mill fan, is probably that I love the philosophy. Still is, after four years.I’ve got two sorts of friends, the ones who call me a matrix-freak, and the ones who are like me. After the fifth time I understood so much as to call it the best film I’d ever seen. After I saw the Matrix, I didn’t understand anything. or was it? Anyways, I’m the kind that saw the philosophical side of the first movie intriguing (by the way, pardon my English, I’m from Norway). Ok, let me just define my interpretation of a fan: I’m not the kind that buys the spin-offs just for the sake of popularity, ok, so I bought a leather jacket a week after I saw Reloaded, but that was just a freak coincidence. Something that has become more than a passion but something I need to survive. It’s something I believe burrowed deep whithin my soul. But I don’t believe words can really describe my obsession. There is probably more than that but I can’t come to think of anymore. When kids came to my door I said, “Red candy or Blue Candy?” They got confused… So that about wraps up my obsession with the Matrix. Every halloween since Matrix 1, I dressed up like Neo. I re-mixed all the Matrix soundtracks on my synthesizer. I have memorized every dialogue, scene and music to each scene of all 3 sequels. I have read all the books associated with the Matrix. My friends say, “You’re going to crash one day.” Interestingly enough, I have adapted to the glasses so that my vision is crystal clear at night.

I earned the nickname “Matrix”.At night when I drive I always wear my sunglasses. And I would wear a pair to school everyday. I bought 3 pairs of Neo glasses off-line in case one broke. I would watch it, take notes, writing down any knew relevations and discussing it the next day with my matrix friends. I had a weekly schedule I abided to, each night a 8 p.m. I have watched Matrix one probably over a thousand times. I have collected every piece memorabelia I could get my hands on. Becoming somewhat of a usefull human being.So, Matrix has been a big part of my life since 1999. I began studying philosophy, searching for answers. But after seeing that movie all that changed.

I was 13 at the time with no ambitions, no knowledge of the world around me, no idea where the hell I’m going in life. Ok, what makes me the #1 Matrix fan in the world? Since I saw the Matrix 1 in theatres, that fateful day, my life has completely turned around.
