Interesting observations... I think we are in agreement on the major issues... perhaps my senses have been numbed from a steady diet of violent American cinema. I don't really perceive Matrix as violent movie per se as it takes place in a cyber-world and therefore none of the violence is "real" and all of the action is way over the top. I suppose it's easy to get desensitized when you see a character get killed every 10 seconds on TV...I agree with you about Clockwork Orange being a work of art, but find it sad that the violence that was considered "science fiction" in the sixties had become a common daily American occurrence less than 30 years later.
