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.
An absolute masterpiece of a movie. A perfect mix of story, action, and mind blowing special effects. Will forever be a top 5 movie in any conversation I will ever have about movies.
The choice is simple. You press the like button, you wake up in your bed and belive whatever you want to believe. You press the subscribe button, you stay in wonderland and i show you how deep films/comics goes Sorry couldn't resist lol
Eh, he kind of put Neo in that situation giving him little choice. He's more of an "end justifies the means" individual and such people are questionable in their morality.
@@mitchellconnop2000 apparently the directors all gave the actors books to read about the philosophy of the matrix and testes them Lawrence Fishbourne (Morpheus) was the only one to pass and understand it without it needing to be explained to him by said directors he can really sell being the teacher seeing he gets what there doing
In very early versions of the script Morpheus was quite the dangerous leader. Having been told by the Oracle that he would find the One he took it to be that he could just point to anyone showing some talent and say "You're the One!" and it would be so. He would pump their heads full of grandeur and eventually they would start to believe it which would lead to them fighting an Agent and getting killed, he had done this 5x before Neo was found which would be recycled into the second movie. We also see him doing it in the Dojo fight and the Girl in the Red Dress training program, all of it well rehearsed. Cypher grew disillusioned with Morpheus and was determined to show the rest of his devoted followers in the crew that Morpheus was wrong and dangerous which his speech in the movie still alludes to about being tricked and lied to. It was a fascinating read on top of The City being Chicago but most of the changes overall were for the better (wearing sunglasses in the dojo fight was kind of weird and I am glad they ditched it for the film). One thing that made me sad but was still put in partially was Trinity being able to slow time down, it's why she raises her hand at crucial scenes where she is just about to die and is what Neo does at the end to slow and stop the bullets coming at him after his resurrection.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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
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.
_The Matrix_ was one of the greatest concepts ever made in a film. "Reality/Simulation". That was a complex concept for a commercial blockbuster film, especially back then. Other creations dealt with similar concepts. _The Terminator, The Giver, The Truman Show, Dark City,_ but _The Matrix_ was superior in displaying that concept. It was very well done. Its 2nd only to _The Allegory of Plato's Cave._
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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 !
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 !!!
I've been thinking that the nature of reality doesn't even matter whether it's real or an illusion because whichever it is or not our lives as we know them will go one the same way they always have.
This is the world that you know.....Morphious opened Neos eyes that day...How can you tell if the Dream is so real what the difference between the Dream world and real world really is. 🤯🤯🤯
I have a theory why programs like the Construct allow to extract people at any given time with no danger while programs like the Matrix require a hardline to get extracted safely. The hardline acts as a direct cord that transfers the mind back to the body, right? Well, the Construct is a program run on human ships' computers, while the Matrix is run in the Machines' city and, thus, on their computers and servers. Basically, the Construct (and other programs like the ones Mouse wrote) are run locally, i. e. they run on the same computers that the person is connected to in the first place, so there is no need to use things like the hardline to transfer the mind, since it's in the machine where the body is. Connecting to the Matrix, on the other hand, is like connecting to an MMO server - it's wireless and has loads of traffick, so disconnecting from the Matrix is hard since the body of a person is back at Zion (or a ship) while the mind is hundreds of kilometres away: if one gets disconnected suddenly it is impossible to "download" the mind back, unlike through a hardline. Extracting from the Matrix can be compared to logging out of a multiplayer session - the game has to process and save your play information (hardline), while if you disconnect without the hardline it's like losing internet connection/a system crash, where your information not only doesn't save to your client, it can get corrupted. People at Zion must have hyperspeed HDDs or something.
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❤❤
The brilliance is Keanu Reeves! Slayer of robots, demons, the bad guy from speed and punks who mess with your dogs.

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.
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.
"Means buckle your seat belt Dorothy, cause Kansas is going bye-bye."
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.
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
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.
The fact that you used footage from The Animatrix 🔥🔥🔥
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
This channel is truly something else!
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, still.
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.
Great video bro! Truly wonderful
I just binge watched the trilogy, so this is perfect timing!
One of my favorite film series ever I’m so glad you are talking about it
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’ve never understood how Morpheus’ sunglasses stayed on his head
@Wooly Bully edgy
The Truth will set you free.
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.
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 was a kid when i first saw the movie. And it blew my mind. It still does.
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.
You stepped up to the plate on this one; well done!
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
"Youre empty" "So are you" brilliant subtle Buddhism nod I noticed after watching for the 20th time lol
But who plugged cipher to meet up with smith ?
Excellent video, and essay on determinism vs free will!👌👍
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.
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 !
What an excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dope.
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 !!!
love your videos keep up the great work
Thanks!
The Matrix Explained channel has some really fascinating discussions.
I've been thinking that the nature of reality doesn't even matter whether it's real or an illusion because whichever it is or not our lives as we know them will go one the same way they always have.
The ending was on point
When Morpheus said “free your mind” I instantly thought of the meme where the guy lands on the dumpster from the roof lol
More!!! For the love of all that’s good in this world please do a deeper dive into the matrix trilogy!!!
It's rare for an actor to play one legendary role
Keanu and Harrison played 2
Mind blown.
please do all of them!!
My mind was blown when I saw this movie in the theaters back in the day.
Ayy awesome! Cheers
They put many great actors in these movies
Reeves, Fishburn, Weaving, Moss
The first movie is in my Top 10 of all time
1:20 that chick is a long-term actress on Home and Away.
Much wow!
Love your movies, from your fan in Thailand.
Little something for everyone in this film. It’s brilliant.
Narrated expertly as always.
My favorite movie of all time BAR NONE.
Dam this was DEEP!!
Thanks for fueling my existential crisis.
Best movie series ever period 🤷🏻♂️
This is the world that you know.....Morphious opened Neos eyes that day...How can you tell if the Dream is so real what the difference between the Dream world and real world really is. 🤯🤯🤯
I always want to know!...thanks for the videos 📹
I have a theory why programs like the Construct allow to extract people at any given time with no danger while programs like the Matrix require a hardline to get extracted safely.
The hardline acts as a direct cord that transfers the mind back to the body, right? Well, the Construct is a program run on human ships' computers, while the Matrix is run in the Machines' city and, thus, on their computers and servers. Basically, the Construct (and other programs like the ones Mouse wrote) are run locally, i. e. they run on the same computers that the person is connected to in the first place, so there is no need to use things like the hardline to transfer the mind, since it's in the machine where the body is. Connecting to the Matrix, on the other hand, is like connecting to an MMO server - it's wireless and has loads of traffick, so disconnecting from the Matrix is hard since the body of a person is back at Zion (or a ship) while the mind is hundreds of kilometres away: if one gets disconnected suddenly it is impossible to "download" the mind back, unlike through a hardline.
Extracting from the Matrix can be compared to logging out of a multiplayer session - the game has to process and save your play information (hardline), while if you disconnect without the hardline it's like losing internet connection/a system crash, where your information not only doesn't save to your client, it can get corrupted.
People at Zion must have hyperspeed HDDs or something.
Such good casting
Any matrix fan should follow MatrixExplained. Every video they make is great
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❤❤
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
