The brilliance is Keanu Reeves! Slayer of robots, demons, the bad guy from speed and punks who mess with your dogs.
Don’t forget Johnny Sliverhand.
He has a comic book call berserker
Don't forget he is also troller of satan in Bill and Ted's adventure !

Don’t forget about Laurence fishburne
"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"
do you choose your path based on the sins you carry?
or do you tread the path you are on while carrying the burden of your sins?
Spinoza stone vibes right there
Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams he would be a great genjutsu ninja
@@pyroromancer I believe that it's either or, even sometimes both.
I personally would fart on the path
Till this day i still think this is one of the greatest movies ever made
Juz got thru explaining to my friend why this is the greatest movie he hasnt seen it so sad
This movie
The Thing (1982)
28 Days later
Alien(S)
I can go on also Limitless was a good series I enjoyed
@@_Circus_Clapped_ plz go on
Yeah, and the one flaw was pushed on the directors by the studio. The whole human batteries is a huge plot hole due to laws of thermodynamics. But the wichaoskis (spelling) originally wrote that the robots were using the humans as a giant neural network computer. The studio said audiences wouldn't get it. It was 1999, maybe the studio was right, either way the original story is better and makes more sense. Definitely an all time great for a variety of reasons. World building, story, thought provoking ideas, choreography, special effects, music. The list is long.
@@JohnSmith-im8qt that’s not a plot hole though. Humans receive energy in the way that the robots can not use. Humans are essentially just a converter for the energy.
This video about The Matrix is surely the kind of video about the matrix that the matrix would produce.
Pure robot propaganda
Yes.
Without doubt
fkn robots they aint got no soul
Woah
This may sound corny but this movie changed my life in some ways. Very revolutionary and thought provoking.
Not corny at all. As sane as anything else in this reality.

*Stabs Neo in the brain*
Man, I really hope you do a long video on the entire franchise philosophy. Kinda hard to just talk about one of the three.
Of course! We’ll cover the entire trilogy!
@@filmcomicsexplained cant wait man!
@@filmcomicsexplained do The Warriors. cult classic 😁
@@filmcomicsexplained I love your videos. I would love to someday hear you talk about Sailor Moon. I think your serious voice with such a light hearted show would be hilarious and entertaining.
Do you know about "matrix explained?" They post videos about these movies every day. Among others, they have looked at and sequenced clips in the background of the architect scene and analysed what they say about Neo. Amazing stuff.
"when FilmComicsExplained uploads a video about the matrix"
me: it's a Miracle
This is right up his alley isn’t it? This is tee ball for him.
@@donaldsimmons4526 yeah but to say it’s before not to know. Make me think we are in the matrix
@@jedipadwan20 who said we aren’t
@@donaldsimmons4526 I know we are cause here something I don’t understand.I brought a game that I canceled while I was in the hospital in 2019 for a brain infection an after I got out of rehab for both to walk better an to get daily antibiotics. I came home an seen I gotten the then new cod game that I canceled an then after that it disappeared. So, my question is this how the f..k did that happen? Matrix, has to be a glitch in the matrix to be exact.
@@jedipadwan20 because you took the wrong pill
The Oracle says Neo is waiting for something "or maybe in another life"
He dies to the bullet, they bring him back, he is The One. Just as she said.
She also said if he saved Morpheus he would die himself, and technically he did. Everything she said was true

The brilliance of naming a character that reveals to you that you're living in a dream, ' Morpheus'. I think if the god of dreams spoke he would speak like that
"Im gonna hang up this phone now. Im gonna show them a world without you"
"This world doesn't exist without us."
Zach de la Rocha, "eeeeeeeeeeyaahhhhhh!"
The thing about free will in the movie is that Neo also was determined to find answers. He sought out Morpheus, and wanted to take the red pill. He pursued those key points on his own without being guided by anyone else
Or was he 🤯
You know, what’s funny about the “or was he?” comment is that... that is a notion to be questioned. The Matrix predicted Neo’s existence as “the one,” yet also did not pursue him before his enlightenment. Was it cause the Matrix knew they’d need Neo? How did Morpheus know Neo was “the one?” In many ways, Neo’s existence serves question whether he is the exception to the rule or whether the rule is a fallacy to begin with
@@Reereez4795 The matrix knew of neo because of agent smith. there were two "ones" hence the "glitch" or "bug" in the system. I would have loved to see agent smit fight the leadership of machine city after conquering the matrix.
In a sense, while at the end of the third film he is connected to the Source as he is destined to, he still deviate significantly from the path of The One by choosing to re-enter the matrix instead of going to the source. If he had gone through the door on the right instead of the door on the left when he met the Architect, he would have re-started the cycle and set the path for a seventh iteration of The One. But by deviating and negotiating for peace to defeat Smith, he broke the cycle and ensured that those bluepills who wanted to leave the Matrix would be allowed to, this negating the need for controlling anomalies.
How brilliant is this, just finished watching the trilogy for the first time just a couple nights ago, now this to top it all off!
An essay about the The Matrix (1999)? I didn't know I needed this. Awesome.
Years ago, when I first saw this film at home with friends, let's just say I was a tad inebriated 😁
After the first few minutes, I was entranced, amazing..... mostly it was the deeply unsettling idea of living in a computer generated dream world while your body was plundered for energy, coupled with the awesome visuals, mind *blown*
I still love the film and will never forget that first time I watched it.
Literally same experience and will always remember the first time I watched it too
First watched this when i was 12 and it completely shaped the way a saw the world from then on
That's crazy you said that. That's how old I was when I first saw the Matrix. I felt the same way after I saw the Matrix.
Same, are you guys 30?
The movie that changed my life
Funny thing, i use the "ignore reality" advice from the movie when i do my exercises, it helps me ignore my mental limits and makes me increase the number of sets and repetitions.
If you can influence your mind to go beyond, your body shall follow it.
My friend is working on the Matrix 4 movie. He said he did vfx for the pod that holds humans.
One correction: the Oracle told him from the beginning he was The One, just not explicitly. She flatly stated he had "The Gift" but he was waiting on something.
In other words, yes he was the one, but it wasn't enough to be The One, but he had to believe it for himself and being expressly told so wouldn't make it so.
Which can be simplified as, "Not right now, but you will be."
I believed it's the Oracle who made Neo, the one. As later in the movie, merovingian will show that you can baked codes inside foods and give it to other to consume. So, first time met Neo isn't the one yet, then the Oracle gave him a cookie that's make him the one.
@@mukamuka0 pretty sure she could only manipulate what was already there, not just tack on new code, otherwise she could just pump another One every time he fell or even multiple if she felt the need
If he knew he was ready to be the one, he wouldn’t have been the one.
@@TheReelDealFilmReviews not necessarily true. Think of Thor. He knew who he was and that he would eventually be king. His hautiness, and arrogance, however, got that stripped away from him. Once he got his sh** together, he got his powers back, but none of that changed the fact that he still always knew his trajectory in life, and needing to be taught a hard lesson didn't change that.
@@Masenken I think we will have to agree to disagree, it’s a Socrates reference.
Probably one of the best philosophical movies ever made! It’s also shot brilliantly.
A match made in heaven, this video. I’ve been waiting for this man.
Released at the same time as the Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor flew under the radar but I also really like that story based around simulation.
Yes. He is great. The atmosphere is well.
The Matrix is still a game changer even compared to movies before and after it.
Yes. I the cinema back I was like. That explains all. My whole life.
The Oracle only ever told the truth, she said he had the gift but was waiting for something, his next life maybe. Neo only actually became "the one" after being killed by agent Smith and Trinity expressed her love for him (which was shown by Neo finally seeing the Matrix in code form), even fulfilling the Oracles fortelling that either Morpheus or Neo had to die.
Watched a marathon on tv of the entire trilogy, excited to watch this
Yeah...it wasnt my fault for the 3rd one but I apologize for it anyways
For me the brilliance of the movie which really clicked happens once you see you, yourself as The One. There's moments within us where we can get a glimpse of what the apex of an aspect of ourselves could be. Imagine, that thing just beyond your grasp and forever out of reach until your defining moment, the stars align and you grasp it. Is that not what we all want for ourselves? This idea is so much bigger than the movie, it's merely a medium in which to express something *programed* within all of us. Despite that being the case the directors managed to perfectly encapsulate this concept of infinite potentiality, along with spirit, and persistence into a character who we can all root for, ourselves.
Finally, someone speaks on this. The Matrix is one of the great films of our time.
Not often that you end up writing a term paper for your philosophy class on a sci-fi movie, but here we are. Definitely a ton to talk about with this. Plato's allegory of the cave, Descartes' deceiver, Samsara, Free will and determinism, it's amazing how much there is to write about it. Hell, you should see how detailed the Sparknotes page on this movie is. I only wrote about the first film but the sequels get way deeper into it.
I really never understood why people dislike the 2nd and 3rd so much, i think they are pretty good, non beat the 1st though
I have to disagree, the first one made you question everything and was left to your imagination as to what would happen next.. the other 2 felt like like a long middle with nothing happening. Final climax was good though.
@@MisaelMatute76 i think the problem with the second and third is that...studios didnt have high hopes for the first movie. When they saw how well it did, they thought they could re-create that in films 2 and 3 for big cash. While action was a big part of the first one, it wasn't what made the matrix...The Matrix.2 and 3 feel more just like Hollywood blockbusters. BUT...that chase scene in reloaded is SOOOOOOO GOOD
Same
I feel that 2 and 3 helped solidify the infrastructure, realism and enhanced our understanding of the repetitiveness and pointlessness of the wars. I am very curious how 2 and 3 would have treated the philosophy and what types of exposition, other than action, the Wachowski's had planned to use in their earlier drafts of the scripts for the sequels. Instead of the action sequences that were filmed and likely included at the studios behest. Plus we have the Fourth installment to look forward too!
@@MisaelMatute76 i guess i can see that, i still think the explanation was pretty hood
This channel is perfect for getting a sample of some lore without committing a lot of time to it. I've watched your t800 explained video so many times when I think of terminator
I really love the pace of the movie. it is relentless, never stops. the transitions between scenes with fluid sounds and visuals guiding you through the story is so immersing.
The concept of choice also plays a part.
The Oracle says: 'you got the gift. But it looks like you're waiting for something.'
In essence she does tell Neo he's The One, but that he isn't ready to accept it and to shoulder the responsibility.
Just something else to think about.
Yayyyyyy. So glad you did this. BTW I was the little girl next to the 'Spoon Boy' who passes on the floating cubes to him in one shot. My 5 minutes of fame haha
Film comics Finally we are doing the Matrix!!! Love your channel
I know, can't believe its taken this long! Thanks Matt
What i love the most was how the animatrix showed how no matter how much the machine tried the human mind, willpower, faith, emotion, since of wonder, and adoption could not hold some humans in the matrix.
"Means buckle your seat belt Dorothy, cause Kansas is going bye-bye."
The fact that you used footage from The Animatrix 🔥🔥🔥
I also like how the Oracle's vase allegory plays out in the way she plays matchmaker between Trinity and Neo. She tells Trinity that she's going to fall in love with the one, and she does. That love is what motivates Neo to break the cycle of violence in the third film and find an alternative to man and machine being at war all the time.
Neo asks "Am I the One?"
Neo should've asked "Will I become the One?"
Oracle playing with semantics
Hey cool it with the anti-semantic remarks haha
Perspective is everything. Honestly since I found this channel I been watching old 80 films to the 2000 and the story telling back then was very outgoing. Appreciate these reviews one of the best series out there.
Been waiting for this. You are great man. I love your work and I hope you keep it up! Great voice, great knowledge, a true lover of cinema.
There's this channel that explains the Matrix in complete detail. The world is so deep it's insane.
My Dad wouldnt shut up about this movie when I was still young ( 7 ) xD
Glad he didnt
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, still.
saw this movie 22 yrs agO. went with my best friend at the time... even then realized this was no regular movie... definitely way ahead of its time... can’t say the same foR the next two... by then it seemed more like 100 yrs had passed!
I can’t blame Cypher for his betrayal. Imagine going about your normal life, then a mysterious man lures you in with curiosity. He gives you the choice to wake up or stay in the Matrix, but his hints and subtle details make it impossible to not go deeper into the rabbit hole. But then you wake up to a post apocalyptic nightmare, forced to eat goop I don’t even want to know the taste of, hiding from an army of sadistic killing machines, and regularly going into the Matrix at risk of being killed by Agents.
I would do ANYTHING to get plugged back into the Matrix. Perhaps I’d keep my memories so I can always remember and compare my life in the Matrix to the real world I begged to escape from.
I love this channels outro. The scary music with illustrations 💯💯💯💯🔥
I just binge watched the trilogy, so this is perfect timing!
The Truth will set you free.
Great video bro! Truly wonderful
I’ve never understood how Morpheus’ sunglasses stayed on his head
@Wooly Bully edgy
When Morpheus said “free your mind” I instantly thought of the meme where the guy lands on the dumpster from the roof lol
Made me think differently about life then the religious dogma I had been instilled with, helped my 14 brain do some critical thinking. Also, it still hold up as a great action flick.
@Meta Man what if we just feel like throwing a good crusade?
I wish we had a matrix movie that was just dialogue and no action... I loved the scenes of Neo talking to The Architect and The Oracle, and just in general the scenes of exposition. Are there any other movies that delve into philosophy and determinism in such an interesting way as The Matrix?
Books
Neo wasn't The One when he wasn't but he was The One when he was.
I just watched the 25th anniversary re-release in Dolby last night. God I forgot how UNBELIEVABLE this movie is
I was a kid when i first saw the movie. And it blew my mind. It still does.
Anyone who saw the first showing of the Matrix back in 1999 will find it difficult to explain to the modern generations just how mind blowing the movie really was. An experience I treasure.
Little did I know at the time just how accurate the concept really is.
The scientific evidence that our reality is virtual is growing by the day. When this movie was made only a handful of physicists gave credence to the idea that reality was made of "information" and is "pixelated" - today there are thousands physicists who believe it is the truth of our reality. It is now speculated that within the next decade material science will be abandoned in favour of the virtual reality view - now known as "information physics".
The difference with what physicists believe and what Elon Musk believes is that the computer generating our reality is not an actual physical computer but "consciousness" itself as a kind of system known as "the larger consciousnesses system". This means that reality is virtual but not a simulation of a reality. It means that ALL reality is virtual. Nothing is solid anywhere and it never has been. That is the real mind blowing idea that I hope to live long enough to see proven.
"Free, your mind" can get you out of addiction, withdrawal, mental health issues, and much, much more....depending on how you utilize it....
Mind blown.
This movie blew my mind as a kid and red pilled the fuck out of me. Not only that the movie itself was so influential on my work as an artist
Moving past the literal interpretation of the film. At it's core, it's a story of a person who takes control of their destiny by embracing the belief that they have total control of their true potential, shedding all self defeating doubts. Neo had settled in life, before Trinity intervened. Something we can apply everyday in our real lives. Like all great stories, it teaches lessons for life. Quite ironic, based on the premise of the film.
What an excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This channel is truly something else!
please do all of them!!
The ending was on point
Thanks for another amazing movie exploration ! Simulating a simulation of a simulation is scarier than The Thing assimilating a million organisms on a million planets in a million galaxies. I've watched all your vids and keep loving them more and more !
My favorite movie of all time BAR NONE.
I love how Morpheus calls the feeling of the matrix “a splinter in your mind” and the only way to access the matrix is to get stabbed in the brain
They put many great actors in these movies
Reeves, Fishburn, Weaving, Moss
The first movie is in my Top 10 of all time
Love your movies, from your fan in Thailand.
This video sir, reflects the reason why I subbed to your channel
Love the in depth analysis you bring to relevant pop culture (relevant at least to me and 808k of your subs)
Keep em coming sir !!!
It is never objectively better to not know. However, it is up to each individual how they choose handle the knowledge they gain. In that, you find wisdom.
One of the first movies that I saw that flirted with the idea that reality is just an illusion.
I need to rewatch The Matrix trilogy. I haven't watched it since I was like 13 and that was 17 years ago lol.
Any matrix fan should follow MatrixExplained. Every video they make is great
Excellent video, and essay on determinism vs free will!👌👍
Here's the thing about living in a simulation - we are, and we _know_ that we are.
We are living in a society that says $7.50 an hour is enough to live on, for example, not because that figure was mathematically determined, but because the wealth class decided that was all we should get. We don't receive the true value of our labor, but a percentage of that worth so we can live in a world in which that much is enough. In _reality,_ however, it is not *NEARLY* enough. Only in a simulated fantasy world can the working class live on $7.50 an hour and be okay. And yet we are forced to live in a world that says such an amount is okay. The reality the working class lives in is simulated by the wealth class. Reality demands the working class receive more and the wealth class deserve less, because that simulation in which the working class only gets $7.50 an hour is designed to fail.
Matrix 4 can’t wait
when this movie came out i was a kid i had no idea what i was watching, i thought it was just a kung fu movie until i got older bruh ive been red pilled out of my mind.
So younger you took the blue pill
I can’t get over how good that Steak looked 🥩
How did Cypher get in and out of the Matrix alone ?
I think he plugged himself in and Agent Smith was able to unplug him remotely from within the matrix
@@filmcomicsexplained Thats a big hole in the story for me . You have to physically plug someone in then run the program . Maybe do a video on it :)
It suggests maybe someone helped him...or perhaps there's a deleted scene that explains
Truth is there is no computer-generated life that is keeping us behind, that part is not true, but the power of the mind and all of the analogies and different types of phrases used in this movie can help us access parts of our brains to help us heal ourselves❤❤
I always want to know!...thanks for the videos 📹
This is my favourite movie ever
I like how Morpheus is most powerful red pill.
The movie changed my life
Such good casting
love your videos keep up the great work
Thanks!
My mind was blown when I saw this movie in the theaters back in the day.
You stepped up to the plate on this one; well done!
1:20 that chick is a long-term actress on Home and Away.
Much wow!
I remember asking some girl I was banging "you've seen the matrix right?" She replied "everybody and their grandmas has seen the matrix"
Narrated expertly as always.
Only one thing and it will be interesting if it come up again, the foretelling of the knock comes from them being able to watch the code of the matrix and see people, although considering the Oracle's status as a program it's entirely likely that she is able to make predictions based on perception of the code, a heightened version of Morpheus telling Neo knock knock as he saw the customer raise his hand to the door, for me a perpetual question is whether the Watchowskies planned for the oracle to be a program the whole time, the implication is strong even in the first story as her relationship to the red pills is briefly mentioned as a guiding one and her nature as a program is not treated as revelation for Morpheus (could have happened off screen but the way it's presented it's less of a twist and more of a logical conclusion) btw Oracle is probably my favorite character, woman could bake some cookies (and cook noodles)
Cypher is my favorite character
I’ve seen the first three movies. They’re pretty good.
I remember learning about how the matrix has to do with platos cave in college in my literature class over 10 years ago. Our teacher had it for our first assignment and we got to watch the movie in class. The teacher really knew how to get the class Into what she was talking about. I was blown away by platos cave being brought up in something we all knew. So it was easier for us to understand the source material. Great teacher,and you are the only person I've seen other than her bring this up! Awesome job dude.
