When James Cameron, the director of the highest grossing movie of all times directed Avatar, he envisioned it to be the highest grossing film of all times. Why so? Because of the futuristic machines like those below. And indeed it is true; Avatar surpassed Titanic and became, or IS the movie to have sold the most in ticket sales in the whole world.
Well, here’s the thing, those photos, one of them is NOT from avatar, yes, the one below, is not from avatar, it’s from a movie that came out in 1999. Yes, 11 years before the release of Avatar.
Not many people are convinced, but the truth is, it is.
The Matrix was one of the box office hits because of their REAL futuristic effects and imagery, The film depicts a future in which reality as perceived by humans is actually a simulated reality created by sentient machines to pacify and subdue the human population, while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Upon learning this, computer programmer "Neo" is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, involving other people who have been freed from the "dream world" and into reality. The film contains many references to the cyberpunk and hacker subcultures; philosophical and religious ideas such as the Advaita's Maya (illusion), Brain in a vat thought experiment; and homages to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Hong Kong action cinema, Spaghetti Westerns, dystopian fiction, and Japanese animation.
This movie is TRULY one that thought out of this world, James Cameron? He just looked at the past to gain insight of the future, no big deal.
