About this deal

Most prominently, it was Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus from the 1999 cinematic masterpiece, 'The Matrix,' who left an indelible mark on this sartorial statement. Shades may slightly obscure your view of the world, but they also hide the world's view of how you are feeling. Sunglasses serve a different purpose for The Matrix's villains, helping to dehumanize Hugo Weaving and his cohorts, and amplifying their machine-like mentality.

Furthermore, Neo loses his sunglasses during the " there is no spoon" scene when he learns to see more fully. In the related video game Enter The Matrix, it is implied that the sunglasses worn while in the Matrix are actually a heads-up display. At seconds thirty onwards it argues that Kenau Reeves has a emotionless neutral face through out the entire movie so the audience do not empathise with him, but helps the audience imagine being him. Trinity was also based on Molly Millions from Neuromancer (I know, she's not a great version of molly) and Molly had reflective glass implanted over her optics. The characters in the Matrix series are synonymous with their glasses so this was the most creatively challenging Hollywood commission I have ever had.

Established in 2009, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality designer fashion and prescription eyewear.

The Matrix establishes that characters essentially generate their own digital image when entering the simulation, so are the shades just a trendy fashion choice, or is there something deeper going on? You can only make small, pre-ordained tweaks to the appearance of people facing the camera, and can’t do things like face swaps, for example. Fishburne's absence from The Matrix 4 means fans may never get to see the actor don his recognizable costume again.They symbolise his rebellion against the artificial reality imposed by machines, fitting perfectly with the film's futuristic aesthetics. So you got a huge wire attached to your brain, transferring who knows how much data per second directly to it, creating an entire virtual universe inside your brain. The fact that figures such as The Architect and The Oracle doesn't wear shades perhaps hints at a deeper level to the allegory. British eyewear maker Tom Davies was the filmmakers’ choice to produce new versions of cinema’s most iconic frames for the epic new film The Matrix Resurrections. The character description from the screenplay and clothing outfit is almost identical (except the glasses vs the implanted screens).

Veteran costume designer Lindsay Pugh originally tapped the British eyewear maker to supply 200 bespoke shades for The Matrix Resurrections, Hypebeast reports. When Morpheus meets Neo, he is wearing sunglasses, despite being inside a house during a rainy night. It's a stylistic choice, that both sells the rebels image, that they fly against convention, and the cyber punk look from futuristic stories like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. Im glad they view themselves with such awesome eye ware, as the scenes that you can see the reflections would be very different and much duller without them. Trinity in particular also uses her sunglasses as eye protection when riding a motorcycle twice, both in the first and second movie.Trinity's most iconic sunglasses from The Matrix are an altered pair of Blinde "Stealth" 136001 sunglasses. Morpheus' distinctive eyewear, characterised by its sleek, round, and rimless design, adds to his authoritative and mysterious persona. In Morpheus's explanation of what the matrix is to Neo, he points out Neo's appearance as a representation of himself. The original Matrix sunglasses emerged from the creative vision of eyewear designer Richard Walker, associated with the eyewear company Blinde Optics.
