The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
i'm sorry the ending was awful
I enjoyed the entire show up until the last five minutes, and the bogus hollywood ending blew the whole movie for me. What a beautiful sunrise, what a happy ending!
There is apparently no consistency between the plot lines of the Matrix, Reloaded, and Revolutions. Wasnt the Matrix supposed to crash if the code Neo carried wasnt reinserted? The architect will free more and more people to join the folks in Zion who are going to be happy to live under ground forever and never bother the machines again? I dont think so.
More likely, there will be another One created by the architect to stabalize the ever decaying Matrix, and the Machines will once again wipe out Zion as the humans try to branch out due to their ever increasing population thanks to the architect freeing people. This whole process will start over again so these movies really accomplished nothing plot wise.
Dont get me wrong the first two are among my favorite movies of all time. I suppose thats what makes this one so dissapointing. The sunrise at the end almost made me gag it was so contrived and corny.
I can only hope that the DVD will contain alternate endings.
Rivers and Tides (2001)
WOW. Words cant describe it really
So, not being a poet myself, I have no real way to convey the beauty and simplicity of this documentary. The effortless motion of Goldsworthy, as he molds natures beauty into his own work is captivating. Watch him stick reeds together in a web hanging from a tree in a close up for a few minutes while he speaks of his work, and then receive the payoff when the camera cuts to the wide shot. Be amazed by the ease with which he operates and then realize the futility when a slight breeze knocks down the entire web.
The genius of Goldsworthy seemingly knows no bounds as his inspiration is nature itself. It is in the essential change of nature where his work, though complete in its own sphere, is made whole.
