MetaChat - Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix http://metachat.org/index.php?disp=comments en-US http://backend.userland.com/rss 60 In response to: Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:11:50 +0000 c586570@http://metachat.org Very cool. That was better than watching the movie itself. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/10/06/everything_is_a_remix_takes_on_the_plot_#c586570 In response to: Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:13:33 +0000 c586571@http://metachat.org I have altered metafilter to the existence of this fine video http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/10/06/everything_is_a_remix_takes_on_the_plot_#c586571 In response to: Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:27:20 +0000 c586572@http://metachat.org You're a braver man than I, Whelk. I've mostly given up on posting to the blue due to the "this post sucks" attitude there. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/10/06/everything_is_a_remix_takes_on_the_plot_#c586572 In response to: Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:50:59 +0000 c586577@http://metachat.org eh I've only had one post go really badly. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/10/06/everything_is_a_remix_takes_on_the_plot_#c586577 In response to: Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:58:03 +0000 c586578@http://metachat.org A lot of those similarities are unfair. E.g. the fight scenes are expected to be similar in many respects, the white rabbit was a reference, not an appropriation. Furthermore, certain tropes are standard for a form, e.g. having time travel or aliens. This is not to say that The Matrix is wholly original, but they undercut their argument by taking too many trivial examples. (And once you are hip to the "this post sucks" attitude, you don't have to take it personally. To keep to the theme of this thread, I take such comments as remix material.)

I don't really see any of it as appropriation aside from directly making Ghost In The Shell references at the end. It's more a visual listing of tropes side by side, which I like.
