So on Saturday my family and I were watching the first Matrix movie. My Uncle Ronald was talking about how his son Alejandro is learning about literary terms in school (2nd or 3rd grade, can't remember which). As he was talking about it he said that with a book the experience is shared with every one who reads it and that you can feel the atmosphere and know the taste of the food in his world if the author wants you to, that there is a sensation that you can't get from t.v. and movies. I sat there, watching what could be one of the greatest films of the 20th Century hearing that it couldn't compare to the written word?

Then my mother said "I see it as two completely different experiences."

And I said that film has that power but it is manipulated in a different way, Neo, Trinity, Morpheus were being air-lifted in a helicopter from a skyscraper, Laurence Fishburne half out of the aircraft, his shirt rippling with the air current.

"There, can't you feel the air whipping past you?"

"No." My uncles said.

And then I pointed out the agents, how when they're on screen everything becomes tinted with a greenish blue tinge to give then the sense on being hyper-real, sinister, and non-human.

Uncle Ronald said, "Most people wouldn't notice that."

Uncle Harold said something about my artist vision giving me the propensity to see it, and then he said.

"I want to be there when you make your first movie."

I laughed.

"I'm serious, whatever sci fi, anime, thing it is I want to be there to see it."

and then I said not the first one, the first one will be horrible.
