    It’s for sure a product of its time, but it really doesn’t feel like a 1999 movie. Around that time we had

    • Sixth sense
    • American beauty
    • Eyes wide shut
    • Being John Malkovich
    • Fight Club

    Matrix has such a stark level of visual and thematic modernity compared to those. Maybe Fight Club comes near, but the other movies look like they’re from a different decade.

      Matrix is a “work sucks” movie the same way that “American Beauty”, “Fight Club”, and “Office Space” was. It is a very 1999 movie.
