00:46:34 Film Marketing 

Who can ever forget the slow motion fight sequences in The Matrix. That and the style (black glasses and costumes), a story that makes us question reality, the film was a triumph in 1999 as the world entered the new Millennium. 

The Matrix won 4 Oscars, on a budget of $63 million grossed over $463 million, and was the first DVD to sell over 3 million copies. And who could forget some of the great quotes from this movie, including “Free … your … mind”, “Dodge this”, “There is no spoon”, “Don’t think you are – know you are”, “Welcome … to the real world”, “I know kung fu”, and “You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”
