06:21:00 +07:00 The Matrix reloads again: Danny Boyle dance version opens Manchester's Aviva Studios - Great article that covers all the main topics without too much sensasionlism. Much of Boyle's work is phenominal. The opening ceremony for the Olympics was a master piece imo. I've never seen anything like it. Many of his books are ceminal too. I can't think of anyone better to re-explore the ever more important themes of the Matrix. Interestingly I think Boyle now lives in the US. Fun factoid, I was interviewed by a TV crew walking out of the cinema after watching the 2nd Matrix film. The one with all the CGI spaceships with tentacles. I didn't have much to say about it. I felt it had lost the spirit of the original movie in favor of over the top VFX. Curious to see his interpretation, the modern world is so the Matrix, but it's not about flashy VFX, it's much more incidious. # www.bbc.com
