Pocahontas is most famous for saving the life of Captain John Smith Disney's Pocahontas was their first story based on a historic event, not
another fairy tale. Of course, Disney changed the facts, but here is the original story.

My favourite film is a science fiction trilogy The Matrix. I like this movie because it is dynamic, captivating and deeply philosophical at the same time.
The Matrix is a cyberpunk story. The setting is the future where intelligent machines have enslaved the humanity. People are held on gigantic plantations and are used as a source of energy. They cannot fight against their enslavers because they are connected to a virtual reality called the Matrix. They think that they live in the peaceful twenty-first century. But there is a small group of rebels who managed to escape from the Matrix. They try to destroy the machines. The main character Neo also becomes one of the rebels and uses his special powers in this war. In the end, though, he and his love Trinity die and the world of machines continues to exist.
I find the ideas of The Matrix deep and interesting. After watching the movie, I thought about it a lot. What if our world is a fake? If we have lived in a virtual reality from the first days of our life, how can we understand it? And finally, if we understand it, should we refuse from our ordinary life and fight? I think that these are deep philosophical questions. The Matrix is a grand movie that gave food for thought to millions of its viewers.
