Book vs Movie: Total Recall and Men In Black II
Checking out the awesome Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "Total Recall" and comparing it to the short story it was adapted from, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick.
Also looking at the movie "Men in Black II," the sequel to Men in Black, which may also have been a very loose adaptation of the same Philip K. Dick story, but in a very different context.
Correction:
4:19 The Director's name is Paul Verhoeven, not Peter.

Fixing The Matrix Resurrections with Total Recall
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Месяц назад
The Matrix movies used the 1990 movie, "Total Recall" for a lot of key scenes. Here I look at the fourth Matrix movie, "The Matrix Resurrections" and play Script Doctor, to suggest how it could have been better, using Total Recall as a reference.
Adaptation! The Matrix Revolutions vs. Silver on the Tree, by Susan Cooper

Exploring the similarities between the third matrix movie, "The Matrix Revolutions" and the book "Silver on the Tree" by Susan Cooper. This is the third in a series where I've been comparing the movies in the Matrix trilogy to The Dark is Rising series, showing where I think the Wachowski's got a lot of their plot elements.

Where I explore the idea that the Matrix trilogy was adapted from the Susan Cooper series The Dark is Rising. The first Matrix movie tied to the book, "The Dark is Rising." The second Matrix movie, "The Matrix Reloaded" tied to the fourth book in the series, "The Grey King."

The way the guy held the red pill was the same way Morpheus held the battery
I’ll admit you can 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon the Matrix and Total Recall but I’m sure there is lots of movies you can do that with as well. However, you nailed Resurrections. What an awful movie. I just put my fingers in my ears and pretend like it doesn’t exist. You can tell right away it’s not the same team that made the first ones. I don’t know if she was trying to insert her recently deceased parents into the movie as Neo and Trinity, but it was awful. We got 3 movies of Neo being the “one” only to find out the real “one” was Trinity all along? Again I just pretend it never happened. Worst sequel of all time
I like to Link "The Matrix" with "Vanilla Sky". The Matrix is a depressive after live service and Keanu is the last customer "alive". If Keanu Shut Down, the computer shut down to. So The Matrix must reboot Keanu again and Again. "Bill and Ted" was the funny matrix; "Jack Constatine" was the hell matrix, "Jhon Wick" is the Vanilla Matrix; and "Cyberpunk 2077" is the last reboot. Neo did not rebooted The Matrix, The Matrix reboot Keanu.
The last Matrix movie sucked. Totally disappointed. Lost me. Bad idea.
I don't think they had contempt for their audience. I think they had A LOT contempt for WB and just complete indifference for their audience.
nice channel!
Arnie also made millions in real estate/investments before he was a big star. & MIB 2 was a shameless cash grab!
The only thing I liked about matrix 4 was humanity and machines becoming friends since the second renaissance, I did not watch the movie, but I saw a video explaining it
The director's name was Paul Verhoeven, not Peter.
Whoops, I was off by an Apostle. Thanks for the note.
Great video, can't wait to see this channel grow!
Matrix drew inspiration from so many sources, I'm not surprised they pulled from Total Recall too
This was really fun! Subscribed.
Perniciously memorable is a great phrase!
Don’t forget the “Blonde, Brunette, Redhead” callback in both movies
Watch the Animatrix.
Another Matrix You Tuber said that the Merovingian was the Devil, lol. 👹❤🔥 Heck, ghost, werewolves, vampires. Why not?
In "The Matrix 4" the Matrix shoulda been a movie and not a game. If Thomas was the actor who PLAYED Neo, it woulda been better. Then he could have had an "Agent" instead of a "Handler".
Ooh, that's really good. The "actor" could be seen having a problem where he keeps thinking that the scenes he did actually happened. The two memories could sit side by side, making him kind of crazy. Him having a complete mental breakdown could be the thing that breaks him out. It could even look cool, like a Scanner Darkly. Yeah, that would have been a lot better.
@@RoseColoredMovies Yes. Like a Scanner Darkly is right. 👌 We should have wrote the Matrix 4 together. Lol.
@@RoseColoredMovies 427 / 5 000 But that makes no sense at all. Actors in movies don't experience scenes the way we see them on screen. What's more, they often don't even have a clue what they're playing in, and they don't even watch the end result of their game - the movie. It's clear that both of you have no idea about the everyday life of acting, creating games, and in addition - from what I hear in the material - the author didn't understand the 4th installment, since she says directly that things there don't make sense.
Errrrm, sorry to bring it to you: Matrix is the sequel to Terminator and was written as ONE STORY by a woman before Total Recall, so it can't be an inspiration. Neo is John Connor... please do better research, i mean i would have fallen for it if i didn.t knew better
Yes, similar research will lead you to believe the world is flat and any other conspiracy you like. Because it's more or less your religious belief, passed on to you, that the Matrix was stolen from someone you believe in with steadfast faith, no matter how unlikely, and you'll never believe otherwise. Never - until it makes you happy, so I hope you find happiness in a better truth someday.
Truth that movie sucks that shit is not matrix. The matrix is way better
I suspect Lana Wachowski, as well as her sister, purposefully designed The Matrix Resurrections to be a franchise killer. Also, you should consider watching video game play of Enter The Matrix (or at least play it), as it's basically Matrix 2.5 (as it's the other half of The Matrix Reloaded story).
I played Enter the Matrix back in 2003, but I am a terrible gamer and never got very far (no twitch streaming for this girl.) The feeling of stepping into the story was awesome, and their bullet time was sooo cool. But yeah, I have no idea what the plot was, I'll check it out.
Great video
This is a terrible video because the starting premise is flawed. There is no fixing Matrix 4.
randomly got recommended this through the almighty algo. good video essay, Matrix 4 sucked and you have good ideas that would have been better. have you heard of the theory that Lana Wachowski intentionally made a bad sequel to try to kill any attempts at milking the series further by having Matrix 4 bomb? don't think it worked tho, I heard they're making Matrix 5 with a different director and NPH and others returning (pls no 😩)
It's insulting to creative people who like movies (and maybe would love to be movie producers) that they would create that last Matrix movie complaining about getting huge amounts of money to make a movie. They could have made something special, but obviously had no good ideas and no talent
STOP call it what it is the GAYtrix.
Wachowski Brothers: 3 awesome Matrix movies. Wachowski Sister: 1 awful Matrix movie. I wonder what the problem was...
Really enjoyed this. I saw Jonathan Groff in Merrily We Roll Along last year and totally forgot I had seen him in this! Your comment about him and NPH and the tragedy of their not singing really made me laugh.
Whineception much?
Unpopular opinion the humans were not batteries but sustainable processors crunching new data in the form of daily seemingly mundane tasks akin to how we use prompts to achieve different outcomes using one LLM like Chatgpt for example.
the original script included the motif of people as not batteries, but computing power
Lovely ideas, good job. Keep it up.
There is one problem; there are no Matrix sequels, there is only one movie.
As far as I'm aware.
I mostly think that people who deny any other Matrix movie to exist are like those fundamentalist who claim that only their religion is based on reality and there are no other books. Like the Dào De Jing, which for the religious lunatics doesn’t exist. Or the Avesta or even older stuff like the Egyptian Book of the Dead or the Atra-Hasis epic.
@@Cyberautist You're confused. They think they're invalid, therefore don't exist in relevance.
@@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat Guess what most religious people say about other religions books. They think they’re invalid. Non existent to that particular religion in relevance. Attachment based religions. The sequels don’t exist because blah blah blah. - It’s the same behaviour fundamentalist religious people display.
@@Cyberautist The issue I have with your premise is that it's glib and presumptive of your own superior ethic on the topic.
I'd go with the industrial tycoon option tbh
22:21 Wasn't the idea of a network of minds was deemed too outlandish by the studio, so they went with the battery option?
I actually liked Luke's character arc in the final sequals.
I didn't see the writers pitching the ideas for a fourth Matrix as an insult to the audience. I saw it as commentary on sequels of any media in general and a meta reference to our times. I doubt anyone was forcing the wachowskies to make another Matrix sequel especially if only one of them was involved. Apparently this story was lanas idea post her parents dying. Sure the studio would like to revive a cash cow but no one is pushing for a bad movie. Its just badly written and badly shot by an uninspired artist.
And you said whys neo so stupid what if he's not neo but ted from bill and ted as they use phones to get around too
And in commando arnies name is John matrix
bc same producer
This movie is really funny and fun for the fans, its the only tone it could have gone without feeling forced just like the games that came after the movies. "never trust marketing" -Neo
Sorry if this comes of as rude, but some of the images used in this video seem like they were made with AI, which I feel defeats the whole point of the video :/
Use a thief to catch a thief, eh? I take your point, though, and I like it. I do make extensive use of generated images, and if you subscribe to the notion that these images are all just someone else's art, sure, it's a bit hypocritical. However, I generate at least a thousand images a month, so I can actually talk about what you get in generated images. I have to generate so many because the vast bulk of what's generated is pure garbage, unusable for anything. I've looked at a lifetime's worth of nightmare people with dripping faces, extra arms, and no legs. What the garbage gives you, however, is a window into how the generation works. AI gives you a pixel bucket of what it thinks corresponds to the text you input. So, if you ask for a banana, it shows the image associated with the word banana. It can combine ideas, so if you ask for a banana made of metal, this is no problem. This is actually the most useful case for me, as I am using it for illustration. Getting a glass coffin for Snow White was terrific. AI mostly generates terrible looking stuff, it makes very general interpretations of an image. I've seen some images that looks like closer copies, usually in Fantasy art. But most of what I see is melty blobs interpreted from many images. But thanks for making the point, it certainly might be valid, and it's a cool point to be made regardless.
Fun fact both movies writen by same Author. Stolen by major movie corporations
Was the Marrix not written by Wachowski brothers/sisters.
Great insights!
Have you ever watched or heard of Dark City? The Matrix apparently took a lot of inspiration from it and even used some of the sets from it as well. Neuromancer was apparently one of the biggest inspirations for The Matrix, but I haven't read it yet. Ghost In the Shell 1995 is also apparently a big inspiration as well, though I have yet to see it.
It's interesting seeing it was also inspired by all these other things as well like the Dark is Rising book series which I never heard of until you did those videos comparing them to the first 3 Matrix films. I never realized the similarities between The Matrix and Total Recall but it's an interesting observation.
Have you seen The Animatrix yet? It's basically an animated anthology film consisting of 9 shorts, 2 of them explaining what happened between humans and the machines.
I read Neuromancer, and can say that the book contributed less than people think. Neuromancer is a heist story, it's a very cool, cyberpunk heist, but under everything it's like most heist plots. I saw Dark City ages ago, I could see how that contributed, especially visually. And I also saw the Animatrix! It was great.
@@RoseColoredMovies Did you ever see Ghost in the Shell? I heard that contributed a lot inspiration wise when it came to The Matrix. Also what were your thoughts on Dark City from what you remember and what was your favorite short in The Animatrix?
Love Ghost in the Shell, I even watched the Stand Alone Complex series. I don't remember much from Dark City aside from a vague disappointment. It's also been too long since I've seen the Animatrix to remember the individual shorts. I think I watched it on VHS, back when it came out, tbh.
I am so happy you have made a new video. I do not know why RUclips recommended your channel but it is super cool. First about Total recall: I always thought he was a real agent. The counter arguments were too small. Like the woman he meets fits the description of the woman he chooses at this holiday facility. Yes maybe he chose that because in his subconscious he remembered her. But what changed my mind a little now is the tracker he pulls out of his nose. I guess normally the nose would have to rip apart. It does this is something that happens in well some action movie. Which Arnold was living in that moment. This would explain why everything is larger than life somehow. The Matrix was not only about what is reality but also about free will vs purpose. Not only Neo but there was a program that had no purpose and that is supposed to die somehow. This is why I never understood why the Oracle is treated like some supporter. It is not it is a program that just fulfills its programming. As you pointed out Neo takes some decision but in fact he just fulfills the prophecy. In many films those prophecies are shown as something good that you have to live up to. Here Neo is shown as positive too but he just enacts the Matrixes plan. But now my question : does he not follow his programming? I am not sure if the Matrix just waited for the one or if Neo is a kind of program. The hero who has to live up to the purpose that is given to him by god or destiny is turned on its head. There is a deus ex machina ( the god of machines ) who wants him to live up to his destiny or programming. This would mean later in the movie he is outside the Matrix. The reason he can manipulate machines is that he is a machine and is programmed to do so. The question here is if Neo is no real supporter like the Oracle is not either. He is the bad guy. The Matrix made him so that people who rejected the Matrix would gather behind one guy and could be controlled. This way it is not that Morpheus tracked down Neo. In fact why should he. There are millions of people and Neo is a random hacker. But if Neo is part of the Matrix he could find everything in there. This meant Neo made himself findable. This would answer my question how the first Neo could get out of the Matrix. Yes he could reject it but Neo could only get out as someone else got him out. Maybe the Matrix ejected him. This way even Zion is outside the Matrix but not outside the system. It is like someone wearing a Che Guevara Shirt but paying a big company to buy it. As you bring up the theory that humans wanted to be in the Matrix because earth could not support the humans anymore and Matrix was much more comfy( in fact this reminds me of the American life on Mars Show). This would even explain why Zion has to be destroyed again and again. If too many people are there earth cannot support that anymore. This would even be another parallel to Total Recall as both are simulations made by humans because they are better than real life which got out of control.
I think you missed the fact the Wachovsky sisters did not want to make 4th Matrix and that it was most likely ruined on purpose
I just have a hard time accepting how anyone could deliberately make a movie bad. Think about the thousands of people who work on it, the hundreds of thousands of man-hours. Lana Wachowski pulling a "Producers" out of spite seems insane. That makes this movie Lana's "Springtime for Hitler." How much do you have to hate your fans to pull this on them?
@@RoseColoredMovies I don't think they would go through the trouble of making it bad on purpose but there is nonetheless something to be said about how much making a movie out of obligation yields a different product than one that comes from a place of true passion. Personally, I feel like there's quite a few incredible ideas presented in 4, it just needed to be ironed out a lot better. If Keanu and Carrie-Ann were better actors/had better chemistry then that alone would've gone an incredibly long way towards making a stronger film despite its other flaws.
26:44 It is my fault. Errr... The YT algo recommended me here. I think ive seen one of your videos once before. But I've never seen the 4th matrix. Glad to have made the correct choice. Great commentary on The Matrix and Total Recall, both of them had great original movies. Looking forward to watching more of your commentaries.
The typology by Jung is much more interesting.
I have those but liked them in the end .
15 minutes in, and I have to admit... You're not making your case at all.
That was really interesting, thanks!
anybody have an opinion on the Matrix being stolen from Sophia Stewart? she claims the movies were based on her writings.
