novapsycheI watched The Matrix tonight, on a DXM trip--probably the last one I will have in a long, long while.
Got a lot of things I didn't get before. At least, I feel I do. And, believe me, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I saw it around 14 times before I bought it on DVD. 5 times in the theater.
So, I'm thinking I might do my dissertation, if I were to go into grad school for American Culture Studies (specifically pop film culture), on the dialectic between the films The Matrix and The One. As a dialectic, I think the two films offer an immense order of semiotic information.
I believe The Matrix is a parable of our times. The One, not by the same writer or production company as The Matrix, is a continuation of that general parable. Its story line was nearly the exact flip-flop of that of The Matrix.
F bought a microcassette recorder, and I used one little cassette extensively this morning to record my first tentative notes about the film. What a coincidence that he went out and bought one. It really came in handy!
Finally, an idea. I'd been waiting for one of those.
