My favourite film is a science fiction trilogy The Matrix. The first part was shot in 1999, the second and the third – in 2003. I like this movie because it is dynamic, captivating and deeply philosophical at the same time. In my opinion, any good movie should be a combination of a touching story, bright visualization and clever ideas.

The Matrix is a cyberpunk story. The setting is the future where intelligent machines have enslaved the humanity. People are held on gigantic plantations and are used as a source of energy. They cannot fight against their enslavers because they are connected to a virtual reality called the Matrix.

They think that they live in the peaceful twenty-first century. But there is a small group of rebels who managed to escape from the Matrix. They try to destroy the machines. The main character Neo also becomes one of the rebels and uses his special powers in this war. In the end, though, he and his love Trinity die and the world of machines continues to exist.

The Matrix is directed by The Wachowskis – two talented and famous screenwriters and directors. Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss play the roles of the main characters in the trilogy. The actors’ work is great, they show bright and plausible emotions. The computer visualization techniques are innovative (at the time) and very impressive.

I find the ideas of The Matrix deep and interesting. After watching the movie, I thought about it a lot. What if our world is a fake? If we have lived in a virtual reality from the first days of our life, how can we understand it? And finally, if we understand it, should we refuse from our ordinary life and fight? I think that these are deep philosophical questions. The Matrix is a grand movie that gave food for thought to millions of its viewers.

The Lion King is a famous animated film which tells us a story of little lion Simba. He was the only son of Mufasa, the king of the Pride Lands. Mufasa was a very wise king. He told Simba a lot about being a king when they were walking around the Pride Lands.

Mufasa also had a brother. His name was Scar. Scar always dreamt of becoming the next king. That is why he always set traps for Mufasa and his little son Simba. Suddenly during one of those fights Mufasa tragically died and Simba was forced to flee.

Scar was not successful as a king. Lions were made to live with hyenas side by side. There was nothing to eat and the whole Kingdom fell into decay.

In the meantime, far away from home Simba met his new friends, warthog Pumbaa and meerkat Timon. They became best friends. Soon Simba grew into a young and strong lion.
