1. It's an adjective phrase (adjectival prepositional phrase) modifying "people," yes.
2. <i>The Matrix</i> is correct. Since it's a movie title, you need to put it in italics or underline those two words. Poems, short stories, and such have quotation marks around them, but book titles, movie titles, titles of artwork, and others need to be <i>italicized</i> or <u>underlined</u>.
