okay I changed my mind

I just got back from seeing the melancholy inducing movie on IMAX. The IMAX experience changes everything. It just enhances his face, the action sequences; it gives more detail to the facts and the sound quality is superb, the heroism is more heightened. Then, you see that face on a 60 foot screen--amazing.

The good part of it is I think people liked it. They thought it was less complicated or filled with riddles and philosophical mumbo jumbo as the other movies. Good for them! It just instilled in me this melancholy (as if it was not there before) that I am trying hard to shirk. I wish I knew where from. I assumed it was the vulnerability of Neo in this one, he was not as assertive and resound in this one as he was in part 2. He was more of the reluctant hero, unsure, going-with-his-virtue-or sunken belief thereby hoping it would lead him to some result, just like part one.

I've said enough. Too much. I shouldn't talk about one single person like this as if he is a god.

One thing I do not get is why do guys hate him so much. They gave us this survey to fill out to find out what we thought about the IMAX MATRIX experience so to speak, which I was too glad to fill out. As I sat down I heard the people behind me chuckling: What do I like about the movie? I like the scenes that didn't have Keanu in them, any scene without keanu reeves in it was fine with me.

How can you say that? He is the movie, then if you don't like a scene with him in it, why did you come here, he is Neo and thus the whole foundation of the movie. What is wrong with people? What did he do to them, seriously? I haven't met a man--except my brother and possibly Laurence Fishburne--that likes him.

The jeers got worse as I walked home everyone talked about how sunken his skills were, leaving Trinity to fight his battles. I had to keep it in not to speak against them.

I shan't talk about this again, I promise.
