"The Matrix Reloaded" and gravitas

Tina Brown, in an extended discussion about "gravitas" wonders if the directors of The Matrix Reloaded have it: "The defining characteristics of gravitas seem to be the ability to keep your mouth shut and the willingness to jeopardize ambition for an idea. The cunning creators of "The Matrix"the Wachowski brothers, who send Keanu & Co. out to promote the product but never appear themselves — understand the silence part. The fact that Larry Wachowski has left his wife of nine years to pursue a sadomasochistic relationship with a dominatrix who calls him Lana might also be a factor."
