As preparation for The Matrix, Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) was asked to watch three key genre defining films. These are those films!
GHOST IN THE SHELL: This anime masterpiece by Mamoru Oishii deals with the line between man and machine, questioning our own human existence in the fast paced world of the information age. The Puppetmaster is loose in society, destroying people’s living essence and replacing their memories with implanted ones. It falls to a small government group to stop it… and a group of heavily augmented agents! Ghost in the Shell is cited by the Wachowski Bros. as the inspiration for The Matrix.
AKIRA: First released in 1988, Akira has garnered legions of fans around the world and is still considered the pinnacle of cel animation. Neo-Tokyo, 2019. The city is being rebuilt post WWIII. Kaneda and Tetsuo, two high-school drop-outs, stumble across a secret government project to develop new weapons – telekinetic humans! Tetsuo soon develops powers of his own and upon learning of his peer, Akira, determines to challenge him. Animatrix episode Beyond was written and directed Koji Morimoto, animation supervisor of Akira.
NINJA SCROLL: Killer ninja action from Yoshiaki Kawajiri, previously seen on SBS television! Feudal Japan – a time of danger, intrigue and deception. Jubei is a masterless ninja who travels the land alone, hiring his services to those with gold… or a worthy cause. His fearsome abilities have served him well, but a hideous plot to overthrow the government threatens to end his wandering ways and possibly his life! Animatrix episode Program was written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, writer/director of Ninja Scroll.
