This is a movie that IS very dated, and most of the technologically centric tone feels unimportant and/or uncool... but not only is this a well done, groundbreaking piece of filmmaking, it's really got something for everyone. I remember several Christian people using Neo as a metaphor for Jesus, and then later in life, learning a lot of this movie comes from eastern thought. Listening to Cameron's perspective made me realize there is a particular importance for the LGBTQ community that runs through the storyline and characters.

That all to say, this really took a lot of styles and philosophy and combined it into an experience that meant a lot to a lot of people- while being a thrill ride and a love story.
