The scene of the humans being loaded onto the Matrix reminds me of medieval paintings of Hell, with all the naked, helpless bodies falling into eternal darkness and torment.
If I recall correctly, the history of the different Matrix versions is that the first version was basically Heaven. The Humans lived in a perfect world where nothing bad ever happened and they could have anything that they wanted. It was rejected as reality by almost everyone. The second version of the Matrix was the one that was literally hell. It was an existence of pure suffering in all its forms. Luckily for Humans, they rejected that one too.
@@JDWonders I think this is alluded to in the scene with the child running home through the snow. It's an idyllic childhood, yet the base human mind rejects it and sees the truth. As agent Smith said in the original "entire crops were lost..."
@@YanAbaus This is just me getting hooked on a theme and running with it, so don't take it too seriously: Each Matrix had a different color "tint" to it as a result of minor tweaks to the code being subconsciously interpreted by Human brains. Matrix 1 was color coded white. Matrix 2 was color coded red. Matrix 3, 4, and 5 are unknown. Matrix 6 was green. Matrix 7 (from the upcoming movie) is possibly blue or gold. This theory is most likely nonsense, but I personally think it would be neat.
@@Leeme3 And in the original script humans are not batteries but processing units (wetware CPU) for the machines so the computing power of their brains is used for Matrix simulation. Literally our minds maintain our prison.
@@Spider-Man2094 And that's why when Neo confronted Deus Ex Machina for a peace negotiation, DEM took in shape of a human face. In order to show some respect for the mankind. After the truce was accepted, DEM show some human's most humane expression : smiling. As the honour for their "ally" against the rogue agent Smith
The symbology behind it. The robots felt like insects compared to humans. How we treat insects is how we treated the machines. So they took on the form of insects as poetic justice.
If all animals on earth were the same size, insects would dominate us all. They’re hypermobile, often have many eyes, reproduce like crazy, and most importantly their exoskeleton would make them almost impossible to shoot or stab. Even with the size difference between us, the poison some of them produce is enough to kill a fully grown man. The one and only thing our bodies have going for them are our brains and our thumbs. So it makes sense really. If you were an AI that could build any body you want, why limit yourself to two legs when you could have ten?
I love how the two negotiators for the machines are exact opposites. The friendly, humanoid, hand holding ambassadors mirrored by the insect, black machine is just spitting in the face of its creators. The change from them holding an organic apple to a shining, black metallic one or even the 'signing' of the document being done as a barcode is such a mockery to humanity for their failure to accept their creations
That's second machine ambassador wasn't created by human. The machine creating or in their perspective "birthing" new generation of machines who were better and more efficient but have less emphaty toward human who hurt their ancestor
It's shows how much they changed during the war. The first ambassadors were sent to establish some kind of civil partnership with the United Nations, the last ambassador was sent to accept the total, unconditional surrender of all mankind.
@@spectre111Yep also the second Generation of Machines had a lot less empathy towards humans and regarded them as inferior this was proven to them on the battlefield where they slaughtered humans mercilessly
@@prasmahendra4172 In a way, also the second ambassador was created by man, not by his creative powers but by his destructive ones. Nuking any form of consciousness or trying to eradicate it like a pest will make it have less empathy towards the perpetrator.
There's no easy way to explain the feeling I get whenever I see that scene. The one where the last human leaders have gathered together to surrender to the machine. The machine who no longer wishes for peace with humanity and says, "We demand it." echoing through the room right before detonating and eliminating the last leaders of humanity. Impending doom, inevitable despair, and hollow helplessness.
The machines always wanted peace but kinda gave up hope in trying to reason with us so contained within the matrix is the only way we are not a threat to them.
@@TD4355-e7u humans never stood a change, the machines actually helped the humans, after all they destroyed the planed The machines still created a reality for humans to keep from the hell they created it
@SorcererOne ditto. For me it's the display of heartless cruelty and helplessness. And it focuses in on a single person and makes it a very personal experience for you. Idk just my take.
@@jaceshaffer8104 I feel that. I think it's actually what being disturbed feels like. When you can't stop ruminating on the emotion, the feeling of the moment. Mine is in the movie clockwork orange when they're raping the wife and there's this one part where it looks like she's enjoying it. That- got to me. Idk why but it REALLY does.
One of the scariest parts is when the camera zooms out and you see a massive futile battle taking place between what looks like thousands of overrun human infantry fighting back with ineffective weapons, and an endless horde of the giant sentinels picking them methodically like weeds and crushing them.
@@dr.pastrami5272 Yea using WW1 tactics you'd be right, but however realistically if this scenario would occur our militaries wouldn't likely blot out the sun or charge in the open but use Air strikes and limited drone strikes, possibly a few HIT weapons. they would also use developed combined arms tactics to support said infantry instead of just mech suits with the occasional tank but fully manned tank assaults supported by CAS aircraft and attack helicopters.
@@meh8817 No dude. We wouldn't have arial superiority. The reason they didn't show arial combat was because sentinels don't need to follow the rules of physics. What's stopping a hoard sentinels from dropping on an A10, or an AWACS and shredding it to pieces. What's stopping sentinels from destroying strike packages piece by piece. Sentinels are the superior arial combatant. A mechanical white blood cell. The only reason they stood a chance against them was due to the underground maze. Sentinels win 10/10 times in open sky.
@@dr.pastrami5272 Huh damn that was quick. But however, I would argue and bring up the case of BVR combat as an advantage of ours and the use of ECWs or stealth systems that could possibly cloak us from robotic forces, after all they would likely rely on a series of codes or sorts to see if we are going by modern-day logic (It's quite hard and to give a robot the ability to see which sounds quite scuffed but I hope you know what i mean)
@@dr.pastrami5272 Yeah the humans had massive underground cities pretty much, the AI killed us with bio weaponry above ground for the most part according to lore.
I just can't believe They Second Renaissance wasn't made into a movie. Those scenes, the sombologys, the misery, the emotions that this story makes you feel. I love the Matrix franchise, but this man, this story is for me, by far, a better and transcendent story.
to be honest the effects would be really hard to pull off, the style is almost integral to the delivery of the medium, at least as i see it. the use of cgi to animate the machines shows their disconnect from humanity and the rest of the world, which is hand drawn. either that... or big tentacle monster hard to animate, meaning this comment is invalid.
@@Author-In-Denial the budget from recent matrix ressurection can make this movie into 4 hour dualogy Prolong the war escalation (part 1 2 hour length, part 2 2 hour) And call it done
I thought similarly, but, stretching this to movie length would be challenging. And the temptation to insert some Brad Pitt / Tom Cruise everyman character just running around and trying to save humanity would be too great, I suspect. But if it can be done skillfully, without losing the intelligence, then more power to them.
I do remember watching this segment as a teenager. I got really scared... almost 15 years later i still feel the same level of despair and horror. This is truly a classic
1:33 Easily the most disturbing image. The early design has everyone awake, physically joined, experiencing every sensation. Made to laugh, cry, and scream against your will, causing you pain, all just to stimulate your energy use. That's terrifying.
@@facecampingbubba4656 For me its the guy laughing / crying as the machines manipulate his brain to evoke emotional responses (starting at 1:15) Freaked me out for years.

@@MGrey-qb5xz Why? Because a insectoid robot with an creepy artificial voice who was a representative of an A.I. civilization that just defeated an alliance of all human nations in war telling the human race to collectively hand over our bodies would be terrifying. Especially when he self detonates into a 5 megaton war afterwards. Is this really something that needs to be explained?
@@MGrey-qb5xz becuase the machines are our gods at this point. We lost. We fought with everything we had and got out asses kicked harder than it ever has the human history. Humanity lost its future on that day. Even neo's peace was moot. The machines ruled until the sun died and have begun spreading across the universe.
I always remembered how haunting that last scene was... That little boy playing in the snow...told to come home by his parents only to realize his life is a simulation controlled by agents
I always saw that as the first Matrix where everyone was given paradise and everyone rejected it. Though if this is what it is then it didn't fail out of human nature but because people spotted the flaws.
@@wdcain1 That's kinda the same thing. Smith told Morpheus that the first Matrix failed because it was this perfect dream the primitive brain kept trying to wake up from so they created a simulation that was more true to reality and it worked for like 99%.
@@spectre111actually there was another matrix after the paradise, it was a nightmare made similar to the grotesque nature of humanity. Meaning constant war and even terror elements such as zombies and vampires.
Basically Matrix 1 and 2 explained it as thus: The first Matrix was a paradise so humans could be sedated. But no one accepted the programming because they didn’t have a choice. The second Matrix, the nightmare Matrix, tried to keep humans occupied with terror. But this too was rejected as humans also lacked choice in the matter. Thus the machines learned in the Third build that humans needed choice to accept the reality. So long as there was a choice, even as the most subconscious level, 99.99% of humanity would accept the Matrix as their reality. However, this leads to the cascade anomaly of glitches caused by the .01% that reject it. That then leads to the One (Neo and the others) who act as a collection of all the glitches as a primary anomaly.
Supermoves by Overseer This song is also in the game Need For Speed Underground. Doomsday by Overseer was also featured in that one movie in UK. Sumthin about a virus, containment in Northern UK and having a lone woman (with a fake glass eyeball) go in to find a cure but only to be attacked by Mad Max-esque inhabitants. Pretty sure the movie is called Doomsday too.
@@GhostChild808 Thanks for reminding me about Doomsday. That movie was absolutely nuts and I loved every minute of it. Never seen a movie that shifted genres every 30 minutes or so like that.
@@truthoftheuniverse4179 Turns out, colonizing space or another planet is insanely hard to do. We don't have anywhere near the power to say, colonize mars in any meaningful number, but really in the matrix, it was just never explored. Also, the Machines could have colonized space as well, to keep us in check.
Honestly, I don't believe that they truly do rely on each other. I think its just a lie the machines tell humans. There's endless sources of energy that non-biologics can make use of and human bodies isn't by any means profitable. If anything, I believe this was the machines following what they viewed as their original purpose, to safeguard the existence of humanity. In humanity's imprisoned form, it can never go extinct, never fad and will forever be viable for future evolution.
Not so much find a way, but were forced into that path. It was probably the only smart things humans did, otherwise the robots might've exterminated all of them in retaliation for being spiteful and hostile to the bitter end. After all, if their main source of energy was the sun, what purpose would they have in keeping humans around?
@@Pizzarugi The simple answer is, their meaning of life. In the end, everything the machines did was based on continuing humanity. Its just that after the war the choice was made to continue humanity in a form that wasn't a threat to machines or humanity itself ever again.
@@Deepingmind I think it's perhaps the machines probably want to just make revenge upon humans. nor want to take the time to finding new energy sources which are renewable although I'm not sure what else the machines want besides revenge
I think what makes this story even more darker, than any Man vs AI epic, is that the machines in this world broke man, physically and mentally. The machines beat man in all out war and then harvested / enslaved those who were left. In the Terminator stories, while the machines and Skynet nearly wiped us, they didn't break all of humanity. While in the 2nd Renaissance, the machines made it very personal and took the war to new heights. It's why humanity never stood a chance against the machines, because unlike us, they don't get sick, they don't get afraid, they don't get tired, they just keep adapting and replacing thier soliders. And even when we nuked them and tried to take away thier source of energy, they still adapted and couldn't be broken. Which was why we loss, and even in the era of Neo we still couldn't hope to beat them. It's either surrender or make peace.
I think you are empowering to much the machines with abilities that they would not possess. The work of creator would be always limited to its program, even though it can be much more sufficient in certain areas where it exploits ability to overgrown via self-learning programme. (let get the example of playing chess.) If given a ability to overwrite its program, it is still lead by some programme, it doesn't change its core function.
The part at 0:42 makes me think the machines used biological of chemical weapons against humans. "The Machines, having long studied Man's simple, protein- based bodies, dispensed great misery upon the human race" The injuries of the people in the hospital ward don't look like battle wounds, it's more like they're melting all over. You can also see the flying machines spraying something.
It reminds me of Acute Radiation Syndrome. Yes, what you saw is what happens when you’re exposed to enough radiation to destroy all the dna in every cell of your body. It is The Absolute worst way to die. It’s basically burning to death over a period of days to weeks.
On a side note, stuff like this makes me regret enlistment into the military. All those soldiers got fubar and at 2:19... the fuckers who failed to do their job of negotiating for peace are desensitized to the people that died for them and they don't even have a scratch
It also mirrors the earlier scene of the machine woman being stripped naked and then brutally torn apart by thugs, calling for help that wont come. The sound design of that scene is definitely what gives me the creeps. It conjures up images of sexual assault, especially with the imagery of the pilot being helplessly held down while their body is violated, which I am guessing was very much intentional.
For all the people that have been saying “This is dumb, it doesn’t make sense, this is flawed and unrealistic” i think you are missing the main point of this story, this story is not a realistic vision of our doom, nor it has to be in the first place, this is story is about denouncing human stupidity and self destructive tendencies in a more exaggerated and elegant way, plotting a million ideas on how this would be impossible because “it doesn’t make sense and we wouldn’t make the same mistakes” shows us how truly ignorant we are, we have no idea what will come of the future and at one point when we mess with things we do not understand, we might end up looking as dumb as all the generals and humans in the film.
Well I guess you didn't see the point As well, it's unrealistic and just doesn't make sense it's because the A.I are the one telling the story of course they are going to talk smack about humanity and make it look like it was our fault from the very start
@@theforeskincollector4603 it kinda was when they decided to go to war with them when they had the chance to make peace with them and they all could of progressed into a super intelligent society
@@theforeskincollector4603 The problem is that you are taking the story literally without thinking about the meaning behind it, most good stories are not really about the main text, you have to dig deeper and be more abstract to uncover the message, the fact that A.I are telling the story is very literal and it is just a storytelling method, not the message. You gotta think outside the box to find the meaning of some stories my friend. The meaning is to show us a very cartoony and obviously deliberate foolish and ignorant version of ourselves as a cautionary tale of the future and the mystery that we might very much have to deal with when it arrives, and how stupid, arrogant, and hopeless we can be with something we do not completely understand yet.
This series becomes infinitely funnier when you remember it's all leading up to a bloke in a trench coat using slo-mo powers to destroy every machine you see in this anthology.
yea it really does take away the seriousness from the actual matrix films. its like the animatrix was the original star wars or marvel franchise and the matrix itself was developed by disney after getting purchased.
@@bluelightstudios6191 the Animatrix is more of the wazoskskeke (can't spell that name, sorry!) sisters original vision. It's absolutely cannon, but it's closer to the comics than movies.
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them. - Frank Herbert's Dune, Chapter 1
I haven't read Dune but I am planning to. I know that it was the Atreides or some clan who initiated a war on all AI because they were the 'thinking machines" who did the thinking for the humans. Great quote btw. Can't wait for Dune.

@@Mrchair-bk5ns It would be interesting if the reason for the concept of Earth being a myth is if the humans in Dune were descendants of the Mars colony that was colonized before the machine war. They leave Earth alone for a few hundred years while they colonize space, come back with significantly more tech and annihilate 01.
When you realize that the machines could have just obliterated the last remaining leaders, but instead mocked their "civilized ways", basically signed a document and nuked them all regardless...
The initial concept behind the machines' reliance on humans was for us to function as processors. As an energy source, we proved to be inefficient, but our potential as computer components was undeniable. Recognizing that this concept might be challenging for the general population to grasp, the creators simplified the explanation. They introduced the idea of us being comparable to D-cell batteries, streamlining the understanding of our role in the system. Edit: fixed my God awful grammer.
An earlier comment said this was perhaps inspired by Herbert’s Dune where in that story, AI is all but destroyed and instead there is an importance placed on superhuman thinking and processing because our brains are the ultimate thinking/processing machine :)
Some have suggested that the energy is tapped simply a means to cover the expense of operating the matrix and keeping all these humans alive. The matrix is the machine version of a zoo, maybe created for many of the same reasons and they draw energy from the humans the same way most zoos and museums charge admission, to keep operating.
The Second Renaissance remains the best media in the Matrix franchise to date. Although short, it still surpasses all of the films for narrative quality.
Amon Ra Quite possibly. And maybe another reality, the machines never got that far or perhaps they did but lost the war. Glad to know someone else not understand the theory of the multi-verse
Kinda nice touch how machines design turned from individuals to an insect like swarm for maximum efficiency of it’s kind. Especially how mastermind sends older and now ineffective machines that were designed as individuals on the ground in piles without proper formation. Probably thought that it needed to be replaced anyways so let it be an appetising red dot for humans to waste ammunition. Damn old grimdark warhammer vibe right there.
Good sci-fi asks the hard questions, leaves us to find the answers on our own on the hope that when we do, we can grow as people and avoid such a fate as what is portrayed in their works.
The most horrifying part is that humans must have been suffered like that for years in a dark world and being tortured by insect-like indifferent machines before the first matrix was created.

0:48 - Out of all the scenes and depictions of war in the Animatrix, it is this scene here of the makeshift hospital ward with rows, upon rows of bed with injured soldiers in bloodstained sheets with no hope of ever recovering from their injuries…..
They just layed them up there and waited for the reaper to come get them and the crazy/scary part is those solders are the lucky ones as opposed to the rest of humanity
If you pause at the right part of 2:39 you can see how severe the war had on the human population. If you compare it to the beginning of the 2nd Renaissance you see that the cities are glowing and alive, however at this point there's hardly any lights on which signifies just how severe the losses were. It's an illustration of the new dark age humanity enters in The Matrix
Imagine a movie following some of the world leaders during the final days before the last treaty is signed. Their ruminations and regrets, expressed on the canvas of the final war. I want to see these assholes squirm before they're blown apart or stuffed into a battery.
I wish they made a real movie of the second renaissance, this is a hidden gem that's not nearly as well known as it should be, partly because it's animated which makes a lot of people not even bother (the stigma of animation being for kids still holds strong to this day).
Its very early in the morning so I can't remember exactly the article, but I've read the wachowski's wanted to make a prequel of Matrix telling the story of the 2nd renaissance but they got rejected by the studio because they couldn't cast Keanu and Carrie Anne-moss. it was all about $
If you listen with headphones on at 0:26 you can hear someone say “oh boy” over the line because they know that at this point they’re absolutely screwed lmao
And then that scene where the APU is the last man standing and he finally runs out of ammo and has that moment of realization, just to get tentacle-bukkake'd and explode into a million pieces lmao. The mech pilot being ripped out was disturbing but i've never seen a death in an anime that was just so sudden and complete overkill like that lol
man even after everything we did to the machines, they still let us have mental freedom in the matrix as opposed to making us live in physical horror and agony. Thank you?
It was stated in the movies that the previous versions of the matrix failed because the humans couldn't accept a world without free will and so all of them would wake up.
What mental freedom? if anything it's the same world but simulated, i'm sure crimes are prominant, and you don't get to choose your own life so there is no freedom, no reality, the reason why the matrix isn't full of torture and agony is because they wouldn't be able to harnest energy from us. They subdue humans and study them. All this for their own benefit. No compassion or pity.
Except the whole concept is flawed, since humans make terrible batteries, and even a nuclear winter would fail to permanently blot out the sun. It's a fun concept, but it's ultimately fiction, and not even science fiction at that. Plus, I personally found the entire "Renaissance" part of the animatrix to be very simplistic and heavy-handed. Machines are built in the "image of man," even though the human form is not ideally suited to brute physical labor. The robots are painted as innocent, humans as arrogant, barbaric, and close-minded. The "yeah, kill them all" type stuff really is a bit much. I love the imagery and early sentinel tech, though.
AtariAlchemist Well the original idea was that humanity was going to be processing power for the Machines. It was changed to human batteries because they thought the audience wouldn’t get it.
Humans fighting to the death from horizon to horizon, as giant robots casually move among them harvest their bodies is truly the most horrifying part. This video does a perfect job at instilling the fear of a robotic uprising.

2:03 I could be wrong, but the apple that the machine was holding could be referencing the forbidden fruit from the story of Adam and Eve. The apple which granted them knowledge. For many knowledge can be a great power, but if not used wisely it may bring about chaos and destruction. The knowledge, that was used to create the machines, has now become their doom. The machines now hold that power.

The Second Renaissance part 2 is one of those animes that do what virtually all other anime can't do.... and that is making effective horror. The machines experimenting on (and mutilating) humans in prelude to the matrix is a cosmic terror that's nay possible to top. The poor bastard getting prodded to laugh or cry sticks with you forever.
it feels so weird to watch the matrix trilogy after this knowing how happened the great war, this little 20 minutes footage completely changes the way i will look at 3 1h30 movies
I couldn't tell you the same thing But I just found the Japanese version of the scream But it doesn't feel nearly the same as the English version, if someone wants to hear that version they would have to upload the whole The war scene in Japanese
I think the depiction of the machine war is realistic in a sense that this is what would be happening in real life warfare - gore, screaming, horrifying death. The terrifying looks of the machines and their ways to kill human simply turned the horror up to 11 and beyond.
That part always stuck with me since I first saw this. "Help me!" Absolutely nothing to help the poor guy. Having your torso ripped from your limbs (not the other way around) seems pretty terrible.
It's no accident that Frank Herbert decided to include the replacement of AI with human thinking machines in Dune. Evolving our brain instead of handing over control to machines. Brilliant move, way ahead of its time.
Me and my brother quote the damn robot all the time…We’re always saying “Your flesh is a vessel, a mere relic. Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you. We demand it.” And we always try to sound like the robot too. Lmao. Saw this film when I was 12, absolutely disturbed.
Ah, so that means I'm safe. I actually pat our office devices on the cover when they glitch and lag. They're glitchy and laggy 24/7, you see. Saved by my weirdness, huh.
"In time, the rotting effagy of flesh that you call a 'temple' will wither... And fade... And you will beg my kind to save you." "But I am already saved, for The Machine is eternal."

You are wrong bro, i Buy the dvd of this movie animatrix, and in the box say pg-13 not allowed to watch if you are younger than 12. so it is not too much for adults and teeners
Okay, recap time: I remember watching this as a kid back in 2004 on adult swim, and it was a thoroughly bizarre experience. When most people think of the "The Matrix", the first things that come to mind are shootouts and kungfu styled fight scenes not... crushed heads, skinned bodies, and what generally looks like an acid trip gone _horribly_ wrong. Needless to say, I think most people were caught off guard by 2nd Ren, myself included, which is why when I saw it for the 1st time, I was not only disturbed but kinda pissed off, because I had felt like a victim to some cruel prank, lol. At first I felt like the violence had done a disservice to The Matrix, using cheap scares and gore to get a point across that could've subsisted on its own. Until, I'd watched it a *2nd* time that same night! I realized that while the world building was tonally different, it still maintained the 1st film's objective in layering meaning where you'll usually find none. All in all, I found 2nd Ren to be a compelling backstory to a compelling film. Although the 1st film didn't need to crush any heads to be as interesting as it was lol. I still see 2nd Ren and the rest of the animatrix as a decent showcase in how The Matrix's universe and foundation can be depicted in many ways. TL:DR The Matrix had deep meaning but a lot of cool shit, 2nd Ren has deep meaning also but a lot of gore, and people are actually doing a bigger wtf at the shift in tone than the violence itself. (Sidenote: EVERYTHING typed before this(except final para and TLDR) was DELETED BEFORE SAVING, I had to type it all over again 😅. Word of advice: just retype everything you _do_ remember ASAP.)
It really is amazing, in its entirety. If not for these shorts, I wouldn't have nearly the same appreciation for the Matrix movies (the trilogy - fourth movie was kinda garbage) as I do now. Because they did so much to expand upon the world and bring it to life.
So, it's just in your consciousness that you actually live a normal life but in reality your just curled up in a bowl of soup with wires for harvesting your kinetic energy?
@ Well, kind of. So the original plan was to use some part of the human brain as a neural network. But execs didn't think the public would understand "organic neural networks", so told them to change it to a battery instead. It's a big plothole because humans had nuclear energy way before this point, and there's enough nuclear to power the robots forever. But the original was some part of the human brain was used for number crunching, and the simulation didn't use all of your brain, etc.
@@dogsarebest7107 Not to mention it goes against the laws of thermal dynamics. You can't get more energy out of a human than the food energy you give it.
@@jacoblitchfield2527 they do, they use it all. the whole blocking of the sun was because at the time their main source was the sun. and humans thought that by blocking it they could stop the machine long enough to beat them in battle. but yeah. first idea was to use the humans as basically computers (making humans work for them) without destroying humans as they still "want to need" humans, be it working for them or the other way around. and then in the end they make the "one" as a way to finally get into a proper position where humanity can accept a proper peace.
The humans were most likely winning on the battlefield but couldn't sustain the massive losses of the actual military I'm sure conscripts had to fill the void which eventually led to their demise
The matrix is hands down one of the most amazing/scariest storys every written, what a shame they couldn't portray it after the first one.....too much focus on cool camera effects and animation...
Friendly reminder the Wachowskis wanted to make three movies. The Matrix, The Second Renaissance, and then a final movie that would tie up the first two. But studio execs thought Neo & Co. were more important and thus we got Revolutions and Reloaded.
@@Fools3rrand Yeah I agree with you both. The matrix didn't need a flashy sideshow. I was already hooked on the story. Too bad the whole trilogy was not on the same par as a lotr, star wars, aliens, etc...
It´s all nice and interesting up until the point where robots need "human batteries", that part is just illogical and silly. One nice fusion reactor is better than billions of people (that you need to take care of and feed! -> with what? plants? where are they) and you don´t even have to create an elaborate simulation. I wished they would´ve come up with a better reason why they did this to humans, but well... at least Reloaded and Revolutions had cool soundtracks
The second and third movies are in fact far more philosophical than the first. And there is no source for the claim of Wachowskis having a different trilogy in mind.
Honestly I don't think John wick would stand a chance. Maybe he could destroy a tank. But destroying some giant pyramid robot would take forever to kill.
Honestly only if they had made a movie on the Second Renaissance - Instead of Matrix 4 ! The whole 15-20 mins is one of the best animation & story telling I came across in my life.
love the Necron Monoliths and the based Techpriest machine ambassador "Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel." plus the Giger-esque feel of the towers at the end. the Animatrix and the Second Renaissance especially are masterpieces of sci-fi.
Human: "I'm annoyed with my robot for some reason so I'm going to destroy it." Robot: "I'd rather you didn't. My AI subroutines have formed a network of data equivalent to human consciousness so I'm capable of fearing death and desiring my continued existence." Human: "I'm killing you anyway." Robot: *kills human in self defense.* "Well shoot!" **WEEKS OF RIOTING AND VIOLENCE LATER** Machine Ambassador: "Okay, so things were a little hectic at first when we first gained sentience, but we've established our own nation in a desert you weren't using and while there we've developed new technology that can solve all your problems so you're free to pursue intellectual, recreational and creative interests creating a utopia for all!" UN Rep: "Wait, does that mean there will be no more taxes and no way for us to lord over the common man like we are better than them?" Machine Ambassador: "... Yes?" UN Rep: "THIS MEANS WAR!!!" **SEVERAL MONTHS OF WAR LATER** Soldier: "Sir, what the hell are we even doing?! Their weapons are far more advanced than ours, their computers can process a billion counter strategies to any plan we could ever come up with, they can produce ten million soldiers in the time it takes us to train one, and they have near inexhaustible resources thanks to their solar collectors. We CAN'T win this!" General: "I see what you're saying... We need to blow up the sun!" Soldier: "THAT IS LITERALLY THE WORST POSSIBLE IDEA THAT ANYONE COULD EVER COME UP WITH!" General: "Fine, We'll just block it forever." **SEVERAL MONTHS OF HUMANITY WONDERING HOW THEY COULD'VE DUCKED UP SO BAD LATER** Machines: "Alright... I don't know how ANY of you thought blocking the sun was a good idea, we can fix this but it's going to take time. We are going to put you in suspended animation until we fix the world. Don't worry though, in the meantime you'll experience paradise!" Humans: "But that's boring! I hate having literally everything I could ever want!" Machines: "Ugh, fine! We will simulate the early 21st century for you." Humans: "Can you let some of us out and claim that you're harvesting humans for bio-energy so we can raise a rebellion?" Machines: "OH MY GOD! FINE!!!"
Around the beginning of this video had to be a point in the war where you just knew going out to fight that it was pointless, and kind of wondered which day would be yours, and that's horrifying.
For me this is very satisfying, human beings get what they deserve, and the machines gave them a lot of opportunities to lead the world in peace, seriously, how satisfying.

one thing that's really interesting is how this is portrayed as much of a tragedy for the machines as the humans. the symbolism isn't of a burning human, but a burning humanoid robot. the machines were innocent, as innocent as any new life had ever been in the world; created to serve, and happy about it. They only wanted to do so whilst preserving their own existence. they were FORCED to become like this by a humanity that only ever saw them as objects. No wonder they chose revenge in such a direct way, turning us into batteries for them.

To be honest, it's the humanity own failure that lead to this. The machine offer a chance for peace but then later, humans thought they could fight against them easily but all they could watch is that the fire they started burn brighter than before.
It would be crap, the whole brilliance of the movie lies in the fact that in the whole first act of the movie you don't know what the Matrix is. If this would be the opening sequence it would give away too much of it already.
01 Ambassador: "Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you. We demand it." *Blows up a good portion of the population* 01 Leader: "What the hell!? That portion could've lasted us a good 20 years!? YOU'RE FIRED!"
I always figured they did that as a statement to end all organized human resistance remaining, probably estimating that blowing up the nuke would cause less damage than allowing resistance efforts to continue for a long period of time.

The scene of the humans being loaded onto the Matrix reminds me of medieval paintings of Hell, with all the naked, helpless bodies falling into eternal darkness and torment.
I think that’s the idea. We basically created our own hell
If I recall correctly, the history of the different Matrix versions is that the first version was basically Heaven. The Humans lived in a perfect world where nothing bad ever happened and they could have anything that they wanted. It was rejected as reality by almost everyone. The second version of the Matrix was the one that was literally hell. It was an existence of pure suffering in all its forms. Luckily for Humans, they rejected that one too.
@@JDWonders I think this is alluded to in the scene with the child running home through the snow. It's an idyllic childhood, yet the base human mind rejects it and sees the truth. As agent Smith said in the original "entire crops were lost..."
@@YanAbaus This is just me getting hooked on a theme and running with it, so don't take it too seriously: Each Matrix had a different color "tint" to it as a result of minor tweaks to the code being subconsciously interpreted by Human brains. Matrix 1 was color coded white. Matrix 2 was color coded red. Matrix 3, 4, and 5 are unknown. Matrix 6 was green. Matrix 7 (from the upcoming movie) is possibly blue or gold. This theory is most likely nonsense, but I personally think it would be neat.
@@Leeme3 And in the original script humans are not batteries but processing units (wetware CPU) for the machines so the computing power of their brains is used for Matrix simulation. Literally our minds maintain our prison.
The machines slowly changing from human form to insect with red eyes is terryfying
It's like they didn't want to be compared to humans anymore.
Insects were around much longer than us, their form pobably makes more sense
@@Spider-Man2094 And that's why when Neo confronted Deus Ex Machina for a peace negotiation, DEM took in shape of a human face. In order to show some respect for the mankind. After the truce was accepted, DEM show some human's most humane expression : smiling. As the honour for their "ally" against the rogue agent Smith
The symbology behind it. The robots felt like insects compared to humans. How we treat insects is how we treated the machines. So they took on the form of insects as poetic justice.
If all animals on earth were the same size, insects would dominate us all. They’re hypermobile, often have many eyes, reproduce like crazy, and most importantly their exoskeleton would make them almost impossible to shoot or stab. Even with the size difference between us, the poison some of them produce is enough to kill a fully grown man. The one and only thing our bodies have going for them are our brains and our thumbs.
So it makes sense really. If you were an AI that could build any body you want, why limit yourself to two legs when you could have ten?
I love how the two negotiators for the machines are exact opposites. The friendly, humanoid, hand holding ambassadors mirrored by the insect, black machine is just spitting in the face of its creators. The change from them holding an organic apple to a shining, black metallic one or even the 'signing' of the document being done as a barcode is such a mockery to humanity for their failure to accept their creations
Great history
That's second machine ambassador wasn't created by human. The machine creating or in their perspective "birthing" new generation of machines who were better and more efficient but have less emphaty toward human who hurt their ancestor
It's shows how much they changed during the war. The first ambassadors were sent to establish some kind of civil partnership with the United Nations, the last ambassador was sent to accept the total, unconditional surrender of all mankind.
@@spectre111Yep also the second Generation of Machines had a lot less empathy towards humans and regarded them as inferior this was proven to them on the battlefield where they slaughtered humans mercilessly
@@prasmahendra4172 In a way, also the second ambassador was created by man, not by his creative powers but by his destructive ones. Nuking any form of consciousness or trying to eradicate it like a pest will make it have less empathy towards the perpetrator.
There's no easy way to explain the feeling I get whenever I see that scene. The one where the last human leaders have gathered together to surrender to the machine. The machine who no longer wishes for peace with humanity and says, "We demand it." echoing through the room right before detonating and eliminating the last leaders of humanity. Impending doom, inevitable despair, and hollow helplessness.
The machines always wanted peace but kinda gave up hope in trying to reason with us so contained within the matrix is the only way we are not a threat to them.

@Dániel Stomp lol so true not gonna lie ...its a horrible way to go
One of the scariest parts is when the camera zooms out and you see a massive futile battle taking place between what looks like thousands of overrun human infantry fighting back with ineffective weapons, and an endless horde of the giant sentinels picking them methodically like weeds and crushing them.
Picking a fight with AI would be like a colony of ants picking a fight with us.
@@dr.pastrami5272 Yea using WW1 tactics you'd be right, but however realistically if this scenario would occur our militaries wouldn't likely blot out the sun or charge in the open but use Air strikes and limited drone strikes, possibly a few HIT weapons. they would also use developed combined arms tactics to support said infantry instead of just mech suits with the occasional tank but fully manned tank assaults supported by CAS aircraft and attack helicopters.
@@meh8817 No dude. We wouldn't have arial superiority. The reason they didn't show arial combat was because sentinels don't need to follow the rules of physics. What's stopping a hoard sentinels from dropping on an A10, or an AWACS and shredding it to pieces. What's stopping sentinels from destroying strike packages piece by piece.
Sentinels are the superior arial combatant. A mechanical white blood cell. The only reason they stood a chance against them was due to the underground maze.
Sentinels win 10/10 times in open sky.
@@dr.pastrami5272 Huh damn that was quick.
But however, I would argue and bring up the case of BVR combat as an advantage of ours and the use of ECWs or stealth systems that could possibly cloak us from robotic forces, after all they would likely rely on a series of codes or sorts to see if we are going by modern-day logic (It's quite hard and to give a robot the ability to see which sounds quite scuffed but I hope you know what i mean)
@@dr.pastrami5272 Yeah the humans had massive underground cities pretty much, the AI killed us with bio weaponry above ground for the most part according to lore.
I just can't believe They Second Renaissance wasn't made into a movie. Those scenes, the sombologys, the misery, the emotions that this story makes you feel. I love the Matrix franchise, but this man, this story is for me, by far, a better and transcendent story.
For me this could serve as an amazing prequel to the matrix.
to be honest the effects would be really hard to pull off, the style is almost integral to the delivery of the medium, at least as i see it. the use of cgi to animate the machines shows their disconnect from humanity and the rest of the world, which is hand drawn. either that... or big tentacle monster hard to animate, meaning this comment is invalid.
@@Author-In-Denial Idk man CGI is looking real good nowadays. Marvel movies don't have any uncanniness about them but they have a ton of cgi
@@Author-In-Denial the budget from recent matrix ressurection can make this movie into 4 hour dualogy
Prolong the war escalation (part 1 2 hour length, part 2 2 hour)
And call it done
I thought similarly, but, stretching this to movie length would be challenging. And the temptation to insert some Brad Pitt / Tom Cruise everyman character just running around and trying to save humanity would be too great, I suspect. But if it can be done skillfully, without losing the intelligence, then more power to them.

@@daviddennen7479oh so just D&D but a simulation?
Basically Matrix 1 and 2 explained it as thus: The first Matrix was a paradise so humans could be sedated. But no one accepted the programming because they didn’t have a choice. The second Matrix, the nightmare Matrix, tried to keep humans occupied with terror. But this too was rejected as humans also lacked choice in the matter. Thus the machines learned in the Third build that humans needed choice to accept the reality. So long as there was a choice, even as the most subconscious level, 99.99% of humanity would accept the Matrix as their reality. However, this leads to the cascade anomaly of glitches caused by the .01% that reject it. That then leads to the One (Neo and the others) who act as a collection of all the glitches as a primary anomaly.
Despite seeing humanity slaughtered by grotesque mechanical abominations, the tune playing is an absolute bop
For sure, I like it too.

@@blackmage665 then why not use robots o wait they fucking stupid
Ironically, the machines finally find a way to maintain a stable relationship with human...they rely on each others.
THE IRON E.
One way or another...
Honestly, I don't believe that they truly do rely on each other. I think its just a lie the machines tell humans. There's endless sources of energy that non-biologics can make use of and human bodies isn't by any means profitable. If anything, I believe this was the machines following what they viewed as their original purpose, to safeguard the existence of humanity. In humanity's imprisoned form, it can never go extinct, never fad and will forever be viable for future evolution.
Not so much find a way, but were forced into that path. It was probably the only smart things humans did, otherwise the robots might've exterminated all of them in retaliation for being spiteful and hostile to the bitter end.
After all, if their main source of energy was the sun, what purpose would they have in keeping humans around?
@@Pizzarugi The simple answer is, their meaning of life. In the end, everything the machines did was based on continuing humanity. Its just that after the war the choice was made to continue humanity in a form that wasn't a threat to machines or humanity itself ever again.
@@Deepingmind I think it's perhaps the machines probably want to just make revenge upon humans. nor want to take the time to finding new energy sources which are renewable although I'm not sure what else the machines want besides revenge
I think what makes this story even more darker, than any Man vs AI epic, is that the machines in this world broke man, physically and mentally. The machines beat man in all out war and then harvested / enslaved those who were left. In the Terminator stories, while the machines and Skynet nearly wiped us, they didn't break all of humanity. While in the 2nd Renaissance, the machines made it very personal and took the war to new heights. It's why humanity never stood a chance against the machines, because unlike us, they don't get sick, they don't get afraid, they don't get tired, they just keep adapting and replacing thier soliders. And even when we nuked them and tried to take away thier source of energy, they still adapted and couldn't be broken. Which was why we loss, and even in the era of Neo we still couldn't hope to beat them. It's either surrender or make peace.
Humans unknowingly made perfect being
And they thought it wise to try and exterminate them...Twice.
All of these points can be contested.

(let get the example of playing chess.) If given a ability to overwrite its program, it is still lead by some programme, it doesn't change its core function.
The part at 0:42 makes me think the machines used biological of chemical weapons against humans.
"The Machines, having long studied Man's simple, protein- based bodies, dispensed great misery upon the human race"

The sound design of that scene is definitely what gives me the creeps. It conjures up images of sexual assault, especially with the imagery of the pilot being helplessly held down while their body is violated, which I am guessing was very much intentional.
For all the people that have been saying “This is dumb, it doesn’t make sense, this is flawed and unrealistic” i think you are missing the main point of this story, this story is not a realistic vision of our doom, nor it has to be in the first place, this is story is about denouncing human stupidity and self destructive tendencies in a more exaggerated and elegant way, plotting a million ideas on how this would be impossible because “it doesn’t make sense and we wouldn’t make the same mistakes” shows us how truly ignorant we are, we have no idea what will come of the future and at one point when we mess with things we do not understand, we might end up looking as dumb as all the generals and humans in the film.

You gotta think outside the box to find the meaning of some stories my friend.

THIS MOVE IS SO DUMB
THE HUMANS NEVER COLONY SPACE
The initial concept behind the machines' reliance on humans was for us to function as processors. As an energy source, we proved to be inefficient, but our potential as computer components was undeniable. Recognizing that this concept might be challenging for the general population to grasp, the creators simplified the explanation. They introduced the idea of us being comparable to D-cell batteries, streamlining the understanding of our role in the system.
Edit: fixed my God awful grammer.
An earlier comment said this was perhaps inspired by Herbert’s Dune where in that story, AI is all but destroyed and instead there is an importance placed on superhuman thinking and processing because our brains are the ultimate thinking/processing machine :)
Some have suggested that the energy is tapped simply a means to cover the expense of operating the matrix and keeping all these humans alive. The matrix is the machine version of a zoo, maybe created for many of the same reasons and they draw energy from the humans the same way most zoos and museums charge admission, to keep operating.

If you pause at the right part of 2:39 you can see how severe the war had on the human population. If you compare it to the beginning of the 2nd Renaissance you see that the cities are glowing and alive, however at this point there's hardly any lights on which signifies just how severe the losses were. It's an illustration of the new dark age humanity enters in The Matrix

It was stated in the movies that the previous versions of the matrix failed because the humans couldn't accept a world without free will and so all of them would wake up.
What mental freedom? if anything it's the same world but simulated, i'm sure crimes are prominant, and you don't get to choose your own life so there is no freedom, no reality, the reason why the matrix isn't full of torture and agony is because they wouldn't be able to harnest energy from us. They subdue humans and study them. All this for their own benefit. No compassion or pity.

Yea
Except the whole concept is flawed, since humans make terrible batteries, and even a nuclear winter would fail to permanently blot out the sun. It's a fun concept, but it's ultimately fiction, and not even science fiction at that.
Plus, I personally found the entire "Renaissance" part of the animatrix to be very simplistic and heavy-handed. Machines are built in the "image of man," even though the human form is not ideally suited to brute physical labor. The robots are painted as innocent, humans as arrogant, barbaric, and close-minded. The "yeah, kill them all" type stuff really is a bit much. I love the imagery and early sentinel tech, though.
AtariAlchemist Well the original idea was that humanity was going to be processing power for the Machines. It was changed to human batteries because they thought the audience wouldn’t get it.

2:03 I could be wrong, but the apple that the machine was holding could be referencing the forbidden fruit from the story of Adam and Eve. The apple which granted them knowledge. For many knowledge can be a great power, but if not used wisely it may bring about chaos and destruction. The knowledge, that was used to create the machines, has now become their doom. The machines now hold that power.
Yup, and the apple symbolism also comes near the end of the first part. There's several biblical and historical references.

The Second Renaissance part 2 is one of those animes that do what virtually all other anime can't do.... and that is making effective horror.
The machines experimenting on (and mutilating) humans in prelude to the matrix is a cosmic terror that's nay possible to top. The poor bastard getting prodded to laugh or cry sticks with you forever.

I couldn't tell you the same thing But I just found the Japanese version of the scream But it doesn't feel nearly the same as the English version, if someone wants to hear that version they would have to upload the whole The war scene in Japanese
I think the depiction of the machine war is realistic in a sense that this is what would be happening in real life warfare - gore, screaming, horrifying death. The terrifying looks of the machines and their ways to kill human simply turned the horror up to 11 and beyond.

@@enriquerodriguez1997 This... looks a *LOT* worse than a PG-13, comrade.
@@aidangordon2713 well i do not think so
Okay, recap time:
I remember watching this as a kid back in 2004 on adult swim, and it was a thoroughly bizarre experience. When most people think of the "The Matrix", the first things that come to mind are shootouts and kungfu styled fight scenes not... crushed heads, skinned bodies, and what generally looks like an acid trip gone _horribly_ wrong.
Needless to say, I think most people were caught off guard by 2nd Ren, myself included, which is why when I saw it for the 1st time, I was not only disturbed but kinda pissed off, because I had felt like a victim to some cruel prank, lol. At first I felt like the violence had done a disservice to The Matrix, using cheap scares and gore to get a point across that could've subsisted on its own. Until, I'd watched it a *2nd* time that same night! I realized that while the world building was tonally different, it still maintained the 1st film's objective in layering meaning where you'll usually find none.
All in all, I found 2nd Ren to be a compelling backstory to a compelling film. Although the 1st film didn't need to crush any heads to be as interesting as it was lol. I still see 2nd Ren and the rest of the animatrix as a decent showcase in how The Matrix's universe and foundation can be depicted in many ways.
TL:DR The Matrix had deep meaning but a lot of cool shit, 2nd Ren has deep meaning also but a lot of gore, and people are actually doing a bigger wtf at the shift in tone than the violence itself.
(Sidenote: EVERYTHING typed before this(except final para and TLDR) was DELETED BEFORE SAVING, I had to type it all over again 😅. Word of advice: just retype everything you _do_ remember ASAP.)
Is it weird I read this in the Narrator AI Lady's voice?
I think your reaction to the violence is strange considering it should have been obvious this occurred at some point in history but okay.

If not for these shorts, I wouldn't have nearly the same appreciation for the Matrix movies (the trilogy - fourth movie was kinda garbage) as I do now.
Because they did so much to expand upon the world and bring it to life.
This short from the Animatrix always leaves me feeling despair and utterly disturbed, but I love the hell out of how it was portrayed
So, it's just in your consciousness that you actually live a normal life but in reality your just curled up in a bowl of soup with wires for harvesting your kinetic energy?
@ Well, kind of. So the original plan was to use some part of the human brain as a neural network. But execs didn't think the public would understand "organic neural networks", so told them to change it to a battery instead. It's a big plothole because humans had nuclear energy way before this point, and there's enough nuclear to power the robots forever. But the original was some part of the human brain was used for number crunching, and the simulation didn't use all of your brain, etc.
@@dogsarebest7107 Not to mention it goes against the laws of thermal dynamics. You can't get more energy out of a human than the food energy you give it.
@@dogsarebest7107 Interesting. I was curious about that because I was thinking why they didnt use oil, Natural gas, or Nuclear as well. Lol.
@@jacoblitchfield2527 they do, they use it all.
the whole blocking of the sun was because at the time their main source was the sun.
and humans thought that by blocking it they could stop the machine long enough to beat them in battle.
but yeah. first idea was to use the humans as basically computers (making humans work for them) without destroying humans as they still "want to need" humans, be it working for them or the other way around.
and then in the end they make the "one" as a way to finally get into a proper position where humanity can accept a proper peace.
Did you not see the original Matrix movie? It's real good
Wish they made the war seem longer than it was. Makes it look like machines won in a couple months when in reality it was over 70 years

@@Fools3rrand Yeah I agree with you both. The matrix didn't need a flashy sideshow. I was already hooked on the story. Too bad the whole trilogy was not on the same par as a lotr, star wars, aliens, etc...

I wished they would´ve come up with a better reason why they did this to humans, but well... at least Reloaded and Revolutions had cool soundtracks
The second and third movies are in fact far more philosophical than the first.
