   Forget "Matrix", it's "Dark City" that asks the more interesting questions. Like: Would we be still different persons if we shared the same memories? Is what makes us individual that every one of us has unique memories without which there would be no boundary and no separation?

     As the suits, and the fashion in general, are so much better than in "Matrix". As is the story that does not indulge in this schmaltzy celebration of crypto-fascist martial-arts-Jesus-saviour-of-the-world propaganda. "Matrix" merely overwhelmed with its show-off of visual effects; but "Dark City" really left me astounded for its creativity and profundity. A bit like "Brazil", as both carry seriousness in a strangely light manner.
