I 1999 rullede Andy & Larry Wachowskis spektakulære science fiction-film, 'The Matrix' over alverdens biograflærreder med Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne og Hugo Weaving i hovedrollerne.Samme år gik forfatter- og instruktørbrødrene i gang med at arbejde på yderligere to film, 'Matrix Reloaded' og 'Matrix Revolutions', som fik premiere i henholdsvis maj og november 2003. De tre film har siden indtaget deres pladser blandt de mest sete og indbringende film i historien, og »matrix« blev et af de hyppigste søgeord blandt milliarder af søgninger på internettet.'Matrix og ulydighedens evangelium' er en rejse i Matrix-universet af Rune Engelbreth Larsen, der ser nærmere på, hvor film-trilogiens underliggende lag fører hen. Filmenes symboler og referencer afkodes element for element, og bogen gennemgår en række forskellige bud på, hvad meningen egentlig kan være med de mange mysterier og paradokser, som har fængslet biografgængere verden over.

From the Academy Award(R)-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.I've been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair.How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less.How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life.How to be more me.Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life's challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call 'catching greenlights.'So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far.This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops.Hopefully, it's medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot's license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.It's a love letter.To life.It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.Good luck.
