The Matrix Resurrections
Send us a text
In December 2021, writer and director Lana Wachowski delivered the fourth movie in the Matrix universe, The Matrix Resurrections, after a 20-year wait. Shanny invited Kelly Wilz, Professor of Communications, and Cary Elza, Associate Professor of Media Studies, to chat about the the new film and the entire Matrix saga. What made the original film so impactful? Why did Lana Wachowski return to the world she co-created with her sister? Which narrative themes have changed, and which have stayed the same, since the original Matrix film? And why do we love Keanu Reeves? That's what this conversation is all about.
