Synopsis

The Matrix is a landmark in modern science fiction cinema. SF fans are absorbed in the revolutionary special effects and the convincingly depicted dystopia narrative; action movie buffs relish the conjunction of Hong Kong martial arts techniques with mainstream Hollywood aesthetics; and intellectuals immerse themselves in the films explicit and deliberate evocation of Baudrillard and higher mathematics. Studying The Matrix considers the diverse influences behind the film be it cinematic, philosophical, literary or comic book together with its iconographic use of costumes, ground-breaking special effects and its stars, alongside its very particular industrial and ideological background, all in the context of the key concepts of Media Studies: Media Language the narrative structure of the film, its iconography and generic hybridity; Audiences and Institutions The Matrix and its sequels as a seminal product of contemporary Hollywood; Representation the names, roles and actions of every major character discussed. This 'student edition' (2008) is a revised version of the previously published 'instructor's edition' (2003).
