Yes, it could.
That said, however, let’s be honest; you can write a better story than “The Matrix.”
Wow, did the point ever fly over YOUR head.
There’s nothing cynical about my comment at all; it’s a statement of indisputable fact. “The Matrix” was a work of sheer marketing genius, a sop to a demographic who to that point had had some decent teasers but had never gotten a full-length feature film about what they really wanted to see; a computer geek who finds out he has superpowers and starts to kick some ass.
Was it a bad movie? Not at all. “The Matrix” was a GOOD movie; in fact, it was very good. It was stylish, wonderfully shot and set, wonderfully edited. The effects, sound, and visuals were stunning. It was perfectly paced - which is hard to do in a full-blown action flick - and exciting. The story was chock full of holes you can drive a 747 through, but the purpose of “the Matrix” was not to provide us with some seamlessly logical alternate reality; it was just a shoot-em-up boner movie, though a very, very good one.
I would suggest you begin reading things more carefully before you continue making bizarre, silly, and insulting comments about other people’s opinions. In this case, you very obviously understood nothing I wrote and made a variety of simplistic and dumb assumptions. Your post degenerated into such ranting, illogical and irrelevant nonsense that I didn’t know whether to laugh or laugh harder.
If you can’t take a truthful and honest comment about a frigging MOVIE, perhaps you should not enter into discussions about movies. Why it’s “cynical” to point out the The Matrix has plot holes and was made pretty much solely to turn a profit is beyond me. It’s not like I said it was a bad movie. It was a good, fun movie. Would it be cynical to point out that Coca-Cola isn’t very nutritious and is manufactured to make money, even though it’s tasty?
For God’s sake, it’s a movie, not a religion.
