This is an interesting/awesome side-by-side video that will come as no surprise to fans of anime and kung-fu films.

Cool, right? What surprised me most was that there was no mention of Alex Proyas’s DARK CITY. I suppose it was THE MATRIX’s twin film (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_films).

Dark City (1998) vs The Matrix (1999) – On a story basis, they are great entertaining films in their own right and I adore them both; I have some fond memories attributed to these films. But my side-by-side comparison should reveal to you my point of straight visual style copycatting. It’s not a major deal to me or to anyone really, I just like the idea of giving credit where credit is due:

Coincidence?

To sum this lesson in comprehension up; creation requires influence, or, apparently, everything is a remix.
