The Matrix 4 Resurrections Review
Neo / Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) has a midlife crisis. He is bored with the work in game design, he takes handfuls of blue pills instead of the mind-freeing red ones. The hero regularly sees a woman in a coffee shop who reminds him of the love of his life Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). True reality gradually eludes him - until a chain of mysterious events forces Neo to return to the Matrix and remind himself and those around him that he is the chosen one.

"Love is the foundation of everything," filmmaker Lana Wachowski concludes with the running green credits of Resurrection. This time she returned to directing and the story itself alone: ​​her sister Lilly was too worried about the loss of her parents and did not dare to distract herself with familiar characters after many years of absence. Lana, on the other hand, found the elixir of healing in escapism and return to basics. The franchise, which has long been inscribed in history and left a huge cinematic legacy, has always led to love - a banal, necessary, unattainable concept - it unlocked all kinds of doors with this rusted key. Behind the load of multiple universes, layers of terms and codes loaded into the cerebral cortex, Baudriar's philosophy, a white rabbit, kung fu, stopping bullets and other equipment, there was always a connection between two people dreaming of a reunion, which they were once deprived of (triquel " Revolution "of 2003 ends with the death / disappearance of both heroes).

The fourth "Matrix" not only gives the heroes the opportunity to reunion, but also gives a sense of belonging, which is rare on today's screens, including the story that last appeared on screens 18 years ago. During this time, a generation was formed that learned about black coats and latex exclusively from TikTok and did not go into the details of the plot (and indeed, there was no need). But capturing all the previous details does not seem to be an urgent or important element of the picture - all roads in any of the scenarios will intersect, parts in disassembled form will methodically flash as flashbacks, again everything will remind you of the illusory choice that has long been made either by us or for us ...

Since 1999, Neo and Trinity have decided to be together, and no current, albeit omnipotent, (psycho) analysts (Neil Patrick Harris) with architects, outraged critics, bosses and new versions of Agent Smith will not be able to stop them from implementing this wild, violating everything the laws of physics and the logic of the plan. Wachowski, who built her late period of creativity on large-scale fairy-tale worlds, where the main always remained the interconnectedness of people, their feelings and actions ("Cloud Atlas", TV series "The Eighth Sense"), refuses to play by other rules. "Resurrection" connects to the main romantic story that arose at the turn of the century, in all possible ways, without disdaining blatant (and the only true) sentimentality with nostalgia.

The film surprisingly turns this nostalgia into a separate independent script force (Lana wrote the text together with the authors of Atlas and Feelings David Mitchell and Alexander Haemon). The film shows a healthy and even bold self-deprecating humor for the current unstable film business, ridiculing corporate culture and the evil of capitalism (while being quite deliberately part of it). The Matrix knows and accepts itself well enough as an object of franchise parasitism and fan service, continued to maintain stability and comfort of the audience as the same blue pills that viewers are ready to swallow in handfuls, in a hurry to escape from wars, feasts and plague. Wachowski puts the characters in the same all-round comfortable simulation: you can visit the Simulatte coffee shop and throw glances with a stranger, you can get bored in the bathroom with a duck on your head, discuss with colleagues a plan to create a new game, and collapse from exhaustion on the treadmill. You can get out of the slime, finish what you started, embellish the story with a happy ending, which also serves as a very valid panacea.

Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss gently and organically beat their 50s, fully accepting them, making wrinkles a common human property, for which they have not been ashamed for a long time (both look amazing). Responsible for the accompaniment is the advanced hologram, replacing Morpheus, performed by the local supplier of gags and incomparable costumes Yahya Abdul-Matin II (Dr. Manhattan in The Guardians), annoying Neil Patrick Harris with a cat named Dejavu, and the sinister Jonathan Ughing who opened a new breath but a separate demonic entity).

Visually, "Resurrection" has moved much further than its predecessors, still sharing a common, multi-universe enthusiasm and creativity with them. "We will definitely add a rainbow to the sky," Trinity promises in the epilogue to all obviously outraged fighters with the "agenda". Wachowski can be considered naive and didactic, but with this commitment and seemingly outdated optimism, she heals her own wounds, defuses amnesia trauma bombs and transfers the universal consciousness to a secluded, free space before the inevitable apocalypse. It remains to feed and free the mind, listen to Jefferson Airplane and return to where they came from - back to the Matrix.
