This is one of the best heroine in cinema: 26 years later, its influence on science fiction is still strong

In 1999 he discovered a work in the world that forever celebrates the science fiction cinema: Matrix. If the hero, Neo, who is encamped in Keanu Reeves, will immediately become iconic, he is not the only one who moves to the offspring.

In the fight against cars, the protagonist is supported by an incomprehensible and charismatic warrior: Trinity, a hacker, which is interpreted by Kerry Moss. From the beginning of Wachovsky’s feature film, he gave us a complete vision from the police army.

Charming heroine

With its tight leather outfit and combat, the Trinity drives us from the first minute of the film to our headquarters. Therefore, it immediately establishes a kind of authority. We have never seen this from the viewer’s memory! Especially since the realization was in the revolutionary age, in particular the use of “lead time”.

This impressive visual effect is obtained thanks to the camera battery arranged along or around the action. They are automatically invited, either at a time or very short -term differentiation, giving the camera illusion to move to normal speeds of frozen or slow action.

Struggle

In addition, in this sequence, we see a single woman in the background of some heavily armed police officers; If we set the clutches of the time, we may expect it to stop or save a man. In contrast, the Trinity terrace is everyone alone and without hesitation.

Stylized and fluid combat choreography (inspired by Asian martial arts) is impressive. The Trinity is fast, accurate, and it assimilates its opponents without panic.

The moment when he goes into the air and crosses the big street between the two buildings, the gravity obeys; This jump has become a cult picture of science fiction film. It symbolizes both its extraordinary abilities and the strange nature of the matrix world.

Trinity breaks the codes

When Matrix came out in 1999, the heroins of action are as strong, independent and physically dominant as the Trinity, there is still little in the cinema. At that time, Sarah Connor (terminator) and Ripley (alien) were still very alone. Therefore, the Trinity disrupts the usual stereotypes of passive or sentimental “female role”.

In the first film in science fiction saga, Trinity is not just a hero’s love figure. He literally guides Neo’s truth, supports him at crucial moments, and he believes much more than he believes in his potential. Thus, it plays a driving role in the wake of an elected official and its belief in it is its transformation.

In addition, the appearance of the Trinity also contributed to its admiration in the most modern heroine pantheon of pop culture. With her black leather combination, her sunglasses and her confident posture, she became an emblem image of the SF. It portrays femininity, which is both elegant, cold and strong, which is quite radically opposed to women’s usual performances in action films.

Ruthless … and a man

However, if the Trinity shows unusual abilities, it is not a simple war machine. He is also deeply human. His love for Neo makes him vulnerable, but he also gets stronger. A young woman lives from difficult dilemmas, losses and choices that make her and give the viewer easy to identify with her.

Finally, if the Trinity is so awesome, it is because it portrays a new form of heroism, power, intelligence, devotion and humanity. She fully defined what a woman could be in science fiction and consumer action film, opening the way to other powerful heroins, such as Furiosa, Mad Max, Katniss in Hunger Games or Eva Macarro, June 4 in theaters.
