Hi this is Steve. Every once in a while there is a moment in film that changes things forever.

Al Jolson saying you ain't seen nothing yet in the jazz singer.

Dorothy stepping from sepia tone into technicolor in the Wizard of Oz. Luke

Skywalker trusting the force in his final run at the Death Star. And in 1999 the world froze

and spun as a leather-clad heroine leapt into something called bullet time.

The Matrix, to put it simply, changed everything.

With groundbreaking special effects, incredible fight

choreography, and a mind-bending plot, it was like nothing ever put on film

before. Or some would argue since.

If you haven't seen the Matrix, we highly recommend checking it out.

And as always, if you want to purchase that film or any other we've discussed on the Cinephiles,

you can do so on our website at cinea-philes.net. So this Friday on the

Cinephiles, John and I choose the red pill and enter the world of the Matrix.

You're not going to want to miss this one.

This is your last chance.

After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story

ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the

red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where each week we enter the world

of a great film we explore its themes the history filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today.

My name is Steve Morris, I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.

Hello everyone, my name is John Roca, I'm a voiceover actor, host, and now employed full-time at Collider Video.

You are a producer, sir.
