What 1995 Japanese cyberpunk movie influenced The Matrix ?
After watching " The Matrix " , Gibson commented that the way that the film 's creators had drawn from existing cyberpunk works was " exactly the kind of creative cultural osmosis " he had relied upon in his own writing ; however , he noted that the film 's Gnostic themes distinguished it from " Neuromancer " , and believed that " The Matrix " was thematically closer to the work of science fiction author Philip K. Dick .
