2012.6.28. Matrix with Seattle Symphony

Movie Matrix with live orchestra conducted by the composer of its original score: Don Davis. Unfortunately, the movie is so gripping, even though most of us have seen it at least once before, that the presence of the orchestra is often forgotten. People applauded loudly when the intermission sign showed up, as well as the end before the credit, even though music was still playing and the poor conductor was struggling against the drowning noise of the applause. In my opinion, this was very rude. I don't remember if I ever watched the movie credit with such attention. The music accompanied it is quite powerful. Now that the movie was over, at least the audience could enjoy the music for its own sake. Overall, it was fun. But a very expensive way of watching a movie.
