Maya Jaal (The Matrix)

The Matrix is a movie that comes once in a lifetime or two!! If there is 1 movie to watch let it be this! I wish I could forget the movie and see it again with Fresh Eyes!!

Made as a 3 part series each part having a different Narration-Style

The 1st part is narrated in the Indian style where the most complex of things is explained as simply as possible through stories and analogies.

The 2nd part unfolds in the Japanese/Zen style where the complexity of things is brought out to the point of chaos until the mind starts to de-focus, the eyes start to cross until suddenly the simplicity of things shines through.

The 3rd part is in the European style more akin to the New Testament with the sacred blood, the resurrection et al.

Of these 3 styles I enjoy (naturally) the Indian style of storytelling.... and its awesome. Every dialogue in the movie resonates with Swami Vivekanand's Raj Yoga.
The dialogues are so simple and yet so deep... they would form the essence of all spirituality of humanity.
