This paper looks at the Wachowski
brothers who experienced sudden acclaim with their directing efforts resulting in the films
"Bound" (1996) and "The Matrix" (1999). It examines how their motto of "expect the
unexpected" has found materialization in both movies and how in a world that has become jaded by too much of the same thing in film, this is what has set these two films apart from the norm. By analyzing some of the techniques used in filming, it shows how with both films the
brothers have proved that they are directors of great talent and how by using the traditional as a basis for the new they crumble all resistance to what such a shift might mean. They give the film audience a gentle transition from what they know to what they do not suspect.
