    We know this film has been discussed more times than any one person can count. Today here at MaJeliv we’re so excited to share this film with our teens in order for them to witness cinematic history and to discuss its unintentional biblical themes.
    As you watch this with us we hope you will watch with us for the first time as well. Remember that we (Jose and Jenny) love to find a way to educate and edify our young adults as we take these movies in.
    Some violent themes are always difficult to watch but the philosophical elements paired with the metaphysical make for higher level critical thinking opportunities for us.
    And YES! We’re also watching this for the cinematic breakthrough that this film was in its day. It broke new ground and paved the way for a new way of storytelling.
    Stick around for our commentary. Since we are a Catholic Christian family our thoughts are naturally affected by this perspective. We were pleasantly surprised to find Bishop Robert Barron had similar thoughts when he commented on this film 15 years ago.

    This movie was so influential, not just for its VFX feats, but also for its philosophical themes. Shortly after the film came out, University of Washington had an introductory philosophy course based on the Matrix.

    In 1999 the most anticipated movie was The Phantom Menace. The Matrix was what I was hoping TPM would be. This movie was a game changer the way the original SW was in 1977.

    So... it was not True Love's kiss at the end, or rather, it was only from Trinity's perspective. You have to remember that Neo's journey as a hacker plugged into the Matrix becoming a hacker outside the Matrix that can "hack" the Matrix. Only 3 were shown to have superpowers: Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo. They were also shown early to be specifically well known hackers. Their "Superpower" is to rewrite the code of the Matrix. The "One" especially can do it consciously, at the end. His journey through the movie is to slowly realize that there is no spoon. At the end, Trinity is just the last catalyst to Neo realizing that the Matrix can't kill him if he rewrites the code. He was still alive. The body cannot survive without the mind, yet the mind is still alive. So, he was never dead.

    • @CorwinPatrick
      @CorwinPatrick Год назад +5

      Specifically, I mean the kiss was a physicality that Neo felt, making him realize that he wasn't dead. The Matrix is artificial. It can only "convince" you through the rules that you accept as real, that you are dead.

    • @joshuawiedenbeck6944
      @joshuawiedenbeck6944 Год назад

      Yep, Trinity reminded Neo that he was inside the Matrix when he was shot. So his brain was able to ignore being "shot."

    How does it happen? He gets shot like ten times; IN the Matrix! Not outside! Body can't live without the mind etc - so it's only a mental game, right - okay okay he flatlines, I'll give you that - but the prophecy!? Trinity falling in love, when the Oracle said THAT would happen to The One!?
    And then - the kiss of true love - the one thing - the one thing machines can't even pretend to understand

    Did you catch the fact that the Oracle gave Neo a "cookie" (computer terms). She is a living program, just as the agents were anti-virus programs. There are more sentient programs in the Matrix in the future movies. She gives him other sweets in the future and I wonder how much of his capabilities she GAVE hims with cookies and sweets.

    @marknickols7316 Год назад +2

    Hope you enjoyed your visit to Sydney, Australia. Outdoor scenes were all filmed there. 1) because it was cheap 2) because it was thought that a largely northern hemisphere audience (the main market) wouldn't see any landmarks they could recognize in the Matrix city-scape. With some clever camera angles and editing they achieved this. I grew up in Sydney and was fooled on my first viewing; on second and later viewings I can recognize some buildings. Also, if you look carefully in the very few down shots of streets, you can tell that cars on the ground are driving on the left. The 'girl in red' scene in front of the fountain was filmed at a famous spot in the Sydney CBD - Martin Place - a short walk to the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House - but again, the camera angles and editing were done carefully so as not to reveal anything that would identify the location.

    • @axlm.808

    When I first watched this in cinema in 1999, it blew my mind! On such a multiple tiered level I didn't know what was going on. First of all, it was the first film I was taking my high school sweetheart to, so I was mostly focused on making a good impression not having my mind blown by a once in a generation film. Secondly, the film felt so far from where we were at the time, it resonated with the echo of the 1990s general vibe: cold war is over, anything is possible, let's go meet aliens!. You also have to understand that just 1 year earlier the film everyone talked about was Titanic with Leo di Caprio and Kate Winslet (this was in 1998!). Titanic made kind of sense as it was a big historical drama but then imagine being followed up by The Matrix, it has literally blown our existence up ever since.
    I am now in my 40s and the other day I saw this film on Turner's Classic Movies! I felt so old, it crushed me! My old highschool sweetheart is my wife, we have two kids, and I feel soooo OLD!

  • @pabloesco2007
    @pabloesco2007 Год назад +1

    This movie was a masterpiece and even it's out in 1999, It's not old bad at all. You can watch "Animatrix" before Matrix 2. It's short movie made by different studios (Like Vision of Star Wars) and some episodes are the prequel of Matrix 1 & Matrix 2. About what you said about the story about AI , i think this movie at this time (1999) was the first one showing how deep human fall/lost against the machine and how a small thing could bring human to freedom.(By the One). This story show that human were always doomed to be in service of the Machine.

    Morpheus = John The Baptist. Cypher = Judas. Released on Easter weekend in 1999, The Matrix suggested a parallel between Neo and Christ, both of whom are resurrected. Neo is referred to throughout the Matrix trilogy as the One, that is, the chosen one, which also describes Christ-a messiah, sent to deliver salvation.

    The Oracle gave him a cookie and said that when he finished it, he'd feel right as rain... she effectively injected code (cookies) into his persona.

    I’ve always been a big, sci-fi fan. Back then the Internet wasn’t big yet, the only way to find out about movies and upcoming things were to buy magazines. I wish I still had that magazine that I bought back in the spring of 98. It showed behind the scenes of this movie, and what it would be, I remember showing it to people and it did not have an impact on them because it was unfamiliar territory. I waited over a year and a half until the movie came out. It was life-changing, watching that movie in the theater. I remember being a little upset at it though, because at that time, the only movie in my mind, that was more important Was Star Wars the Phantom Menace, and deep down, I knew that the matrix was better. I am a big Star Wars fan and that was hard to admit. I remember watching the Academy Awards that following year, and I still believe that Star Wars had the better CGI even though the matrix had better ‘in your face’ CGI, but Star Wars backgrounds and scenery were straight beautiful. The matrix won over Star Wars that year in the special effects category, but they deserved it. Only Later on did I realize how much of an impact the matrix had on science fiction.

    My favorite movie ever. Funny story. First time I watched this, I fell asleep because I was so lost in the first 15 minutes. Remember this was in 2001 when computers and AI weren't really a huge part of peoples lives yet so it was hard to follow. Watched it again a few years later (around the time the second movie cane out) and I absolutely loved it. The movie never gets old and you can pick up something new every time you watch it.
    Old man statement, but they don't make movies like this anymore. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt.
    Now they just try to retell the same crap over and over again, only in a much worse "woke and inclusive" way. This was when Hollywood for the most part still put the story first and knew people wanted to be entertained, not preached at with a political message.

    Actually Keanu Reeves was already a blockbuster star as Point Break, My Own Private Idaho, Speed, and Devil's Advocate, etc., all came out way before this film. Speed is what really put him on the map and made him a household name in '94. The Matrix is what made him a global superstar or leveled him up even more.

    I was in my late 20's when I saw this in the theater. The build up to the movie was intense. The commercials for it were little more then teasers. The one teaser that got just about everyone was the clip with the quote "free your mind" and the giant leap across to the other skyscraper. Then the line.... "Woah!!" from Neo. No one at the time had a clue to what the Matrix was until they saw the movie in the theater. It was a wonderful experience.

    When the heart stops beating, you are still alive until the brain dies. That kiss may have reminded him that he only died in a dream world and he still existed in the real world. Additionally, with the chemistry between them, his brain may have allowed his heart to be jump started by it.
    Nevertheless, with that scene I was more intrigued by what it accomplished-it fulfilled every prophecy in this movie: 1) Since Neo saved Morpheus, Neo had to die. 2) The one had to be born inside of the Matrix and he would disassociate himself from it, which he did-you know-after he died inside of it! And, 3)Neo wasn't truly the one until after he was born inside of the Matrix, so when Trinity realized how much she really cared for Neo when he died and kissed him, Neo's brain accepted the advance, simultaneously becoming THE ONE by being born inside of the Matrix, and thus becoming *the* *one* she was meant to fall in love with-the oNe and only, Neo.
    But yeah, while this was overall an amazing movie with innovative visuals, the sequel has one of the greatest action sequences in cinema history! It has since been beat, I'm sure, but at the time, it was unbelievable and still is, in my opinion! And finally, while the third one concludes the trilogy pretty solidly, I still think the first movie takes the top spot for me.

      Also, based on the lore of "The Matrix: Resurrections," "The One" is both Neo AND Trinity. They are two halves of a whole, wich, from my PoV is fantastic because it turns "The One" into the power of a relationship between humans, not the power of a single human.

      The way I imagined it was that when he "died" in the matrix, he discovered the difference between the matrix and the real, and he could control himself in both. You can see his initial realization in the dojo, "You think that's air you're breathing?" But it took until his avatar died before he realized that he could actually ignore the impacts of The Matrix on his body.

And it wasn't until neo died and was reborn that he became the one Like you said.

    Imagine that this one was released 1999. We had almost never seen anything like this, the slow motion the mystery behind matrix and the amazing choreography. There's a mini documentary somewhere in RUclips that shows the process of making this movies. The cast were required to be able to understand and explain The Matrix, they read a lot of fiction and philosophical books. They really went all in that they decided to hire the Chinese martial arts choreographer and film director Yuen Woo-ping to work on fight scenes. The actors had to train hard for several months.
    This movie will forever be one of my favorites. Thank you MaJeliv family, love ya guys!

    Seeing you guys respond to scenes in this all these years later - the same way I did on first viewing - and not really have many issues with the effects, tells you how far ahead of the standard the Wachowskis were. Absolutely incredible.
    The coolest element of this is the subtle statement that they make around the fact that when AI eventually does take over our existence we won’t even recognize it because it will already know it has to control our perception in order for us to accept it. We are already seeing that today. I also believe this movie for better or worse helped launch a lot of present day tech conspiracy theories.

Because if we turn the energy from the battery into money, and The Matrix into people's phones, where people believe they're living when really they're just allowing other people to live extravagant lives thanks to them wasting theirs watching artificial tiktok lives, or they're watching a big screen TV just to be convinced they need an even bigger screened TV, then this movie is already true. It's very meta to even watch it on a phone. And yes, I get the irony in even leaving this comment.

    I was working as a projectionist at a theater. We received our weekly batch of new ads and trailers by delivery. I opened it and recognized everything, except a very short teaser trailer for "The Matrix". I attached a leader and threaded the trailer on a projector and played it by itself. I said, "what the fuck is this?" Then I watched it again. Then again. Then, being frustrated by the quick cuts in the trailer, I took the film to the splicer table, turned on the light and went through it frame by frame. I've seen the movie countless times and it doesn't lose anything. It only gets better.

    The movie was a technical masterpiece in 1999. But what made it really stand out was the deep existential idea for the plot of the movie. Many movie-goers struggled to get the plot. It is a smart plot. And because of that, I think The Matrix would never have been greenlit today -- movie studios don't want to take any risk whatsoever anymore in making blockbuster movies that can have too complex plots. I'm happy the edgy 90's brought us this movie.

    There is so much to look into details-wise that they put into this movie.
    You noticed the car ride. They shot the frame rate of the street outside the car at a different frame rate to inside the car so it didn’t “feel” right together but wasn’t different enough to draw *too much* attention to it
    The fact that when Neo was at work his suit is the same as the Agents suits (right down to the yellow lining) because as you learn later in the movie, until you’re unplugged, an agent can become anyone
    That’s just two of many.

      Also, Switch was supposed to be a trans character.
      Belinda McClory initially was supposed to do only the scenes inside the Matrix, the scenes aboard the Nebuchadnezzar being made by another (indisclosed) male actor. But some exec asked to ditch the idea because he found it "too confusing" for the 1999's audience and she had to do all the parts for the character they turned as androgynous as possible
      As Lilly Wachowski said later in an interview "the (corporate) world wasn't ready"
