We follow the white rabbit through The Wachowskis’ “The Matrix” and discuss:

Cinematography, slomo, cheap b-roll, fight choreography;
Story & writing, world-building cool sh*t through story structure;
and other such stuff and things and stuff.

*Wes note 1: I know Crouching Tiger came after The Matrix, I was trying to say Crouching Tiger as well as films that predate The Matrix
*Wes note 2: Todd was correct! Agent Smith himself takes over the cell phone bystander which does further cement the idea that Agent Smith is doing a great job of monitoring citizens and trying to catch up to Neo which he ultimately does at the ringing phone
