... ws the cross-bridge to detach and re-attach to
another active site on an actin molecule. This
contraction cycle is repeated as long as free

... no one expects Neo to lose. But to get out of
this sneaky choke hold, Neo shows his true
athleticism once again as he front flips forwards.

this part in slow motion allows you to do this but
also gives the move by Neo more meaning. When he
lands, the music sp...

concepts inside his mind. The films slow pace
seems to open wide gaps between the joints of the
storys framework, causing the viewer to lose his
secure sense of balance during the progression of
the plot. Eyes Wide Shut is not a tale of terror
nor one of mystery...
