- The Matrix was released in 1999
- The directors were the wachowski brothers
- The directors had no experience and additionally they also wrote it.
- The titles at the beginning are tweaked to fit the film
- The first scene features a counter type: the woman is extremely strong which makes the police men appear significantly weaker. This is a counter type as woman are normally portrayed as being weak whilst men are seen as being strong and tough
- The female is also used on the front cover of the dvd, most likely to attract the male audience (male gaze)
- The female is portrayed as being an outlaw or vigilante, again this is another counter type
- The film is targeted at the 'youth audience'
- 45% of the audience were female (at the cinema)
- The genre is action/sci-fi (hybrid genre?)
- Gross = USA $173 million compared to in the UK £16 million
- The distributors were Warner Bros. Pictures and Roadshow Entertainment
- A film similar to this would be 'Island'
