    I am so happy you have made a new video. I do not know why RUclips recommended your channel but it is super cool.
    First about Total recall: I always thought he was a real agent. The counter arguments were too small. Like the woman he meets fits the description of the woman he chooses at this holiday facility. Yes maybe he chose that because in his subconscious he remembered her. But what changed my mind a little now is the tracker he pulls out of his nose. I guess normally the nose would have to rip apart. It does this is something that happens in well some action movie. Which Arnold was living in that moment. This would explain why everything is larger than life somehow.
    The Matrix was not only about what is reality but also about free will vs purpose. Not only Neo but there was a program that had no purpose and that is supposed to die somehow. This is why I never understood why the Oracle is treated like some supporter. It is not it is a program that just fulfills its programming.
    As you pointed out Neo takes some decision but in fact he just fulfills the prophecy. In many films those prophecies are shown as something good that you have to live up to. Here Neo is shown as positive too but he just enacts the Matrixes plan. But now my question : does he not follow his programming? I am not sure if the Matrix just waited for the one or if Neo is a kind of program. The hero who has to live up to the purpose that is given to him by god or destiny is turned on its head. There is a deus ex machina ( the god of machines ) who wants him to live up to his destiny or programming. This would mean later in the movie he is outside the Matrix. The reason he can manipulate machines is that he is a machine and is programmed to do so. The question here is if Neo is no real supporter like the Oracle is not either. He is the bad guy. The Matrix made him so that people who rejected the Matrix would gather behind one guy and could be controlled. This way it is not that Morpheus tracked down Neo. In fact why should he. There are millions of people and Neo is a random hacker. But if Neo is part of the Matrix he could find everything in there. This meant Neo made himself findable. This would answer my question how the first Neo could get out of the Matrix. Yes he could reject it but Neo could only get out as someone else got him out. Maybe the Matrix ejected him. This way even Zion is outside the Matrix but not outside the system. It is like someone wearing a Che Guevara Shirt but paying a big company to buy it.
    As you bring up the theory that humans wanted to be in the Matrix because earth could not support the humans anymore and Matrix was much more comfy( in fact this reminds me of the American life on Mars Show). This would even explain why Zion has to be destroyed again and again. If too many people are there earth cannot support that anymore.
    This would even be another parallel to Total Recall as both are simulations made by humans because they are better than real life which got out of control.

    I suspect Lana Wachowski, as well as her sister, purposefully designed The Matrix Resurrections to be a franchise killer.
    Also, you should consider watching video game play of Enter The Matrix (or at least play it), as it's basically Matrix 2.5 (as it's the other half of The Matrix Reloaded story).

      I played Enter the Matrix back in 2003, but I am a terrible gamer and never got very far (no twitch streaming for this girl.) The feeling of stepping into the story was awesome, and their bullet time was sooo cool. But yeah, I have no idea what the plot was, I'll check it out.

      @DanielS2001 24 дня назад

      @@RoseColoredMovies Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I live in North Florida and got hit hard by the hurricane (everything's okay with me). Well, the plot for EtM is really simple. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the animated short "The Final Flight of the Osiris" from The Animatrix anthology series or not, but to short hand that, a ship called the Osiris came across the machine's plan to drill into Zion and manage to drop off their scans in the form of a package inside of the Matrix. At the start of the game, you play as Niobe or Ghost (you get to choose between the two), and the first mission is to retrieve the package from the post office. And the rest of the game is basically a side story to the events of The Matrix Reloaded, where you're following Niobe and Ghost while they're off screen during the film (and there are moments where the game intersects with the film, one such example includes a driving segment that leads Niobe and Ghost to be on the freeway and make it in time to rescue Morpheus after being knocked off the semi truck). The end of the game basically sets up where Niobe and Ghost are found in The Matrix Revolutions. Basically, the game plays along side of the story for The Matrix Reloaded, hence why I said it's basically "Matrix 2.5", because it's basically half of the second film's story.
      If you don't want to play the game, like I said, there are full walk throughs available if you just want to watch the full story. For Niobe, the best one I found is called "Enter the Matrix: Niobe Gameplay" by Matrix Remixed. For Ghost, "Enter the Matrix - Full Game Walkthrough" by AlphaYellow. The Matrix franchise, before Resurrections, was a well executed experiment in transmedia storytelling (because it's not just the second and third film telling a continuing story, but the Enter the Matrix game, The Animatrix and several comics. The Matrix Online, a Massive Multiplayer Online game, continued on the story after the events of the film with the Wachowskis being involved, but it eventually closed down due to the lack of players).

    Have you ever watched or heard of Dark City? The Matrix apparently took a lot of inspiration from it and even used some of the sets from it as well. Neuromancer was apparently one of the biggest inspirations for The Matrix, but I haven't read it yet. Ghost In the Shell 1995 is also apparently a big inspiration as well, though I have yet to see it.

    • @godzilla5742

      It's interesting seeing it was also inspired by all these other things as well like the Dark is Rising book series which I never heard of until you did those videos comparing them to the first 3 Matrix films. I never realized the similarities between The Matrix and Total Recall but it's an interesting observation.

      I read Neuromancer, and can say that the book contributed less than people think. Neuromancer is a heist story, it's a very cool, cyberpunk heist, but under everything it's like most heist plots. I saw Dark City ages ago, I could see how that contributed, especially visually. And I also saw the Animatrix! It was great.

      I just have a hard time accepting how anyone could deliberately make a movie bad. Think about the thousands of people who work on it, the hundreds of thousands of man-hours. Lana Wachowski pulling a "Producers" out of spite seems insane. That makes this movie Lana's "Springtime for Hitler." How much do you have to hate your fans to pull this on them?

      ​@@RoseColoredMovies I don't think they would go through the trouble of making it bad on purpose but there is nonetheless something to be said about how much making a movie out of obligation yields a different product than one that comes from a place of true passion.
      Personally, I feel like there's quite a few incredible ideas presented in 4, it just needed to be ironed out a lot better. If Keanu and Carrie-Ann were better actors/had better chemistry then that alone would've gone an incredibly long way towards making a stronger film despite its other flaws.

      But that makes no sense at all. Actors in movies don't experience scenes the way we see them on screen. What's more, they often don't even have a clue what they're playing in, and they don't even watch the end result of their game - the movie.
      It's clear that both of you have no idea about the everyday life of acting, creating games, and in addition - from what I hear in the material - the author didn't understand the 4th installment, since she says directly that things there don't make sense.

    I didn't see the writers pitching the ideas for a fourth Matrix as an insult to the audience. I saw it as commentary on sequels of any media in general and a meta reference to our times. I doubt anyone was forcing the wachowskies to make another Matrix sequel especially if only one of them was involved. Apparently this story was lanas idea post her parents dying. Sure the studio would like to revive a cash cow but no one is pushing for a bad movie.
    Its just badly written and badly shot by an uninspired artist.

    If Keanu Shut Down, the computer shut down to. So The Matrix must reboot Keanu again and Again.
    "Bill and Ted" was the funny matrix; "Jack Constatine" was the hell matrix, "Jhon Wick" is the Vanilla Matrix; and "Cyberpunk 2077" is the last reboot.
    Neo did not rebooted The Matrix, The Matrix reboot Keanu.

      Use a thief to catch a thief, eh?
      I take your point, though, and I like it. I do make extensive use of generated images, and if you subscribe to the notion that these images are all just someone else's art, sure, it's a bit hypocritical. However, I generate at least a thousand images a month, so I can actually talk about what you get in generated images. I have to generate so many because the vast bulk of what's generated is pure garbage, unusable for anything. I've looked at a lifetime's worth of nightmare people with dripping faces, extra arms, and no legs.
      What the garbage gives you, however, is a window into how the generation works. AI gives you a pixel bucket of what it thinks corresponds to the text you input. So, if you ask for a banana, it shows the image associated with the word banana. It can combine ideas, so if you ask for a banana made of metal, this is no problem. This is actually the most useful case for me, as I am using it for illustration. Getting a glass coffin for Snow White was terrific.
      AI mostly generates terrible looking stuff, it makes very general interpretations of an image. I've seen some images that looks like closer copies, usually in Fantasy art. But most of what I see is melty blobs interpreted from many images.
      But thanks for making the point, it certainly might be valid, and it's a cool point to be made regardless.
