the bottom line is that the matrix ripped off a bunch of movies and is just parts from several different movies, books which is held together by special effects and a slightly tweaked plot. It is true that the matrix ripped off of ghost in the shell more then anything else and as some people stated there is a difference between inspiration and ripping something off and the W brothers crossed that line. if u look at ghost in the shell and the matrix u will find that the matrix is just a carbon copy of ghost in the shell with a slightly tweaked plot. the only reason why ghost in the shell was not as big or bigger then the matrix in the U.S. was the fact that sex sells and its sad to say but they actually used bOObs 2 much. it undermined the integrity of the movie. BTW ANY1 WHO HAS NOT SEEN GHOST IN THE SHELL HAS NO PART IN THIS DEBATE BECUASE YOU WONT UNDERSTAND JUST HOW MUCH THE MATRIX RIPPED IT OFF. yes as an anime fan this pisses me off but the matrix is still a great movie allthough i prefer GITS (ghost in the shell) and the W brothers  did a goodjob. i am happy that the W brothers atleast admited that the matrix was inspired (totally ripped off of) GITS and other movies, books, mangas. but does this really matter? hell no :/
