You’ve undoubtedly heard of red pills versus blue pills, “bullet time,” and the names Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, and Agent Smith by now. Few movies have had such an immediate, profound, and lasting cultural impact on American society as “The Matrix,” which won 4 Oscars. It’s being re-released this year in celebration of its 25th anniversary.
