Both 'SCREAM' and 'The Matrix Resurrections' incorporate the monumental legacy and influence of their respective franchises.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for SCREAM and The Matrix: Resurrections.Within the last month, we’ve been treated to two sequels from long-dormant franchises - SCREAM and The Matrix: Resurrections. This sort of move is far from unheard of; much of today’s blockbuster landscape consists of “requels” that attempt to repackage the magic of the originals that inspired passionate fan followings.
Aside from the characters, both films offer cosmetic updates to the franchise. Resurrections is more obvious with this , updating the in-universe Matrix to be a vibrant and colorful world visually quite unlike the green-tones of the original trilogy. SCREAM’s updated look is more subtle, but the new directors are unafraid to employ camerawork that sets their sequel apart from the rest. While Resurrections and SCREAMare two vastly different stories, they’re kindred spirits in many ways.
And indeed, The Analyst’s observations on the collective human psyche are harsh, but not at all off-base: “The sheeple aren’t going anywhere. They like my world. They don’t want this sentimentality. They don’t want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty.” The truth of the observation cuts deep for those of us exhausted by today’s IP-driven, nostalgia-focused cinema that appears allergic to doing anything truly, thrillingly new.
Now, in the real world these kinds of “fans” might not be murderers, but they do cause real harm. Look no further than Kelly Marie Tran, or any number of Star Wars actors who have been brutally harassed by “fans” of the series. These are people who not only don’t want to see anything new , and furthermore feel threatened by the idea of change.
