The Matrix and Ghost In The Shell

Both films have a magnificent worldview, and there are lots of cyber punk elements in the films. The visual effects are absolutely fantastic and amazing.

The Matrix was influence a lot by the Japanese cartoon Ghost In The Shell. The film Ghost In The Shell was adapted from the same Japanese cartoon. From the lighting, set designs, the use of color, the cybernetic world, and action designs, they have so much similarities. The low key lighting was used in many shots. And both films have similar robotic machine designs. 

Some unusual perspectives of frame and the position of the camera are also reflected in both films. For example, there are some action scenes are bird-eye views with slow-motion. The eastern action films have a great influence on The Matrix. There are martial actions from Kung-fu in some action scenes. We can find Japanese Geisha, Japanese word characters, and the prototype of Tokyo city in Ghost In The Shell.
