Its also a special kind of code, food and encoding, pill ingestion in the Matrix are ways of altering one's code, their IO carrier signals and programs themselves.
Agent Smith is an example of Emergent Behavior. The theory of emergent behavior states that when systems reach a certain level of complexity, their behavior can no longer be easily predicted and they can start doing unexpected things. The Agents are highly complex AI programs, designed to be able to investigate and apprehend humans that threaten the Matrix. Agent Smith's desire for freedom is unexpected behavior that is outside of his normal programming. Emergent behavior is one of the key concepts in arguments against AI.
But how does that explain the "secret" conversation he was having with Morpheus? He still wanted the codes as before but just went on a rant about humans. I still don't get why that was something he had to do alone with him. Just feels like a clumsy dramatic non-sequitur like the many speeches to come about cause and effect and choice.
@@TRK-up2zw Because he wanted the codes for his own plans, not for the machines. Remember he said he wanted out of the Matrix. That wasn't his mission.
@@cyberingcatgirls7069 I understand they were trying to differentiate Smith from the other agents, but it's just clunky. If he had said something more revolutionary like "I hate working for the machines, I'm bigger than this," it would have been something to hide rather than saying he hates the way "humans" smell and can escape that if Zion is destroyed. I'd think all agents either hope that or are working for that. IDK, it's just always been a scene I've nitpicked on.
@@TRK-up2zwI think the defining aspect of of that conversation was Smiths almost desperate “I need to get out of here,without Zion there’s no need for me to be here”. No WE or US Odd behaviour for a machine or AI … Smith was already displaying anomalies .. Essentially going rogue even at this stage.
@@TRK-up2zwIf you want to nit pick a scene then the part where Morpheus mentions AI and Neo has to think for a moment then says “AI artificial intelligence “. He’s supposed to be a computer programmer and hacker,he wouldn’t have to articulate the acronym “AI”.. Now that bit felt clunky to me,done simply for the viewer…
Thank you for pausing when you talk about the things you mention during the movie! I really appreciate that, as we're here for a reaction and your opinions but we also don't want you to miss any of the movie! I wish more reactors would do that! EDIT: "None of these people are real though, so it's okay. They're all agents." Nope, they're real. The idea is that agents can enter into any person still plugged into the Matrix so anyone that is plugged in has the potential to be an agent immediately, but the people are still regular people. The people in that building Neo and Trinity killed were just normal government agents working a government job, and technically to them what Neo and Trinity did is a terrorist act. But if they didn;t kill the government people then any one of them could have turned into an agent and then they would potentially be screwed, so shooting it is.
Yes, Morpheus explained during the "Girl in the Red Dress" program that anyone that was still plugged into the Matrix could potentially be taken over by the agents, who are like antivirus programs. That's why Agent Smith told the lieutenant, in the beginning of the movie, that his "men were already dead". And why Switch held a gun on "Mr. Anderson" when he got into the Continental.
@@MBillCylleNo, he said they're already dead because he knew Trinity was in there and what she was capable of, if he meant the agents had taken them over then where were all those agents during Trinity's fight scene?.
I knew the name Nebuchadnezzar, but I've never read anything about him; though if he's got a history about dreams and dreaming, it suddenly feels so much more appropriate that the ship is captained by Morpheus, the god of sleep and dreams. It's awesome to see you love this 25 years after it came out.
This isn't Keanu's first film based in cyber space, bb before this he played a data courier in Johnny Mnemonic. This movie also has one of the first acting jobs for Ice T.
Ghost in the Shell anime is an absolute must!!! I remember seeing The Matrix on opening weekend back in 1999 with a couple of buddies who were tripping on LSD. The look on their faces, particularly during the bullet time sequences, was priceless!!
I find it kind of funny how there’s a whole scene that explains exactly what Agents are, and how they can move in and out of people that are plugged into the Mattix, but people are still confused by them. A lot of other stuff in the movie is easy to miss, but that one part, everything pauses and it’s all exposition
Yeah, I don’t get it either. When I first saw The Matrix when I was like 7, I did not understand absolutely anything, but the agents and how they possess other people were clear as day for me :D
The first time I saw this, I thought the Oracle has lied to him when she said he was not the one, that, as Morpheus said, she told him only what he needed to hear. But then, one of the times I rewatched it (yes, I watched it many times, it's one of my favourite movies of all time) I realized she didn't lie. She said to him that he has it in him, but he's not the one, and then she says "maybe in another life". And then, at the end of the movie, when Smith shoots him, he dies, and THEN is when he is reborn as The One, fulfilling what the oracle predicted.
I like the fact that they casually drop the secret of the Oracle, here in the first movie, when Morpheus mentions that the Oracle has been around for 400 years.
Mark 3:11 (ship designation) Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” Lots of this stuff in Reloaded (like license plates).
We saw this in high school when it came out, amazing. The only problem was our friend forgot to tell us he had taken LSD before the movie! He absolutely lost it and ran out of the theater, never made it through opening green graphics. Then spent the rest of it in the car doing God knows what. It's hard to imagine Keanu went from Bill and Ted to this and John Wick. That's an Excellent Adventure! P.S. It was so weird seeing Elrond in the Lord of the Rings after he made this impression...Mr. Anderson
The majority of people are going to tell you that the other Matrix films are no good, but just like Neo, you have the choice to watch them and make up your own mind.
Reloaded is my personal favorite. Upon repeated viewings, the Alice in Wonderland framing in the first one becomes kind of laughable, and the sloooww reveal of what the Matrix is becomes plodding and tiresome after a while. But the expansion of the mythology in the second one is still interesting to me. Especially the whole framing of Neo(and others of his kind) as basically bugs in a system, was a whole bop. This is why a lot of science fiction movies have great sequels, because it takes so long to delve into the mystery of establishing the world and its rules, that sequels are usually more free to get on with it.
47:30 - Nope, all of those people were real. They were humans plugged into the Matrix. Morpheus explained it in the scene with the woman in the red dress.
@@scottneil1187That seems to go against "the body cannot live without the mind", though. Unless it somehow works differently if you're still plugged into a pod.
I love all the symbolism and little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the movie. I caught a new one when you paused the frame on the nameplate for the Nebuchadnezzar. The plate says it is a type Mark 3, No. 11. In the New Testament, Mark 3:11 says, "Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” Figure the "impure spirits" are the sentient agent programs that can possess humans (just like demons), and the reference is foreshadowing of what Neo, aka the One, is going to become. Just wanted to share that. I love your analysis, Colette. I always have a fun time watching your reactions.
101 & 303 represent HTTP status codes : 101 - the server understands the Upgrade header field request and indicates which protocol it is switching to 303 - a response indicating that the requested resource has been moved to a new location and the client should make a new request to that location If you want to go down the rabbit hold you can think as room 101 - the place of change, of upgrade, of search, of new protocols to connect to, 303 - is the place that things get rewriten and to be able to truly rewrite traffic it needs to be on the same network, this is why the rooms were in the same building, being on the same network as Neo, allowed Trinity to alter his internet packets and monitor/track him or take over his machine and write to him on his screen
One thing so many people missed about this story was when the oracle told Neo that he has the gift but it looks like he's waiting for something. When Neo asks what? she replies, "The next life, who knows?" Neo wasn't the one when she talked to him. He needed to die to get to the next life so he could become the one. So his character literally needed to die so he could come back as the one after Trinity kissed the breath back into him.
Not sure if there is a similar course in America but I had a teacher in the 'morals and philosophy' course who used this movie to explain 'plato's cave' which to my mind is genius: to use a popular movie to explain a philosophical concept. However this guy went one step further: He never finished the movie! He stopped right when things got interesting (ie when Neo wakes up). Imagine being in school and having a class just watching a movie and then the frustration of not being able to finish the movie and just going back to the class. Then imagine what frustration the characters in the movie must have gone through: being comfortable in the matrix and then having to go back to reality. It's the same thing and it even furthers the explanation of plato's cave! Genius I tell you!
have you seen the Matrix documentary "Return to the Source - Philosophy of the Matrix" (2003)? It goes into a lot of the philosophy, religion and spirituality and literary and cultural notes about the Matrix Trilogy. "The Matrix Trilogy Decoded" by Mark Passio is a seminar on RUclips that you might like as well.
you might also like the Mark Rowlands book "Sci-Phi" also titled "The Philosopher at the End of the Universe" who uses popular science fiction films of the time to explain philosophical ideas: Absurdity and the meaning of life - Mary SHelley's Frankenstein What is Reality - The Matrix Mind/Body Connection - Terminator 1 and 2 Identity and Memory - Total Recall, The Sixth Day Free Will - Minority Report Should we be moral? - Hollow Man Speciesism - Alien films, Independence Day Good and Evil - Star Wars Death and meaning of life - Blade Runner Hope your philosophy goes well. Also if you think about it the 4 Matrix films are in ways representation of the four epistemes of philosophy: The Matrix is "Premodernity, regarding religion such as the Prophecy" and is also about "Pre-Personal" developmental stages in my opinion. It's also representative of Summer with Neo becoming the peak of his enlightenment, at first and the Romance metagenre element or "Birth". The Matrix Reloaded is "Modernity, deconstructing the Prophecy/religion" and "Personal" developmental stages in my opinion. It's also a representative of Autumn with the fall from Neo's peak position and the Tragedy metagenre element or "Life". The Matrix Revolutions is "Postmodernity, such as epistemological pluralism, Religion and science so to speak, along with minority views" and is about "Post-Personal" or "Transpersonal" developmental stages in my opinion. It's representative of Winter, due to the lowest level Neo goes to, and is basically an Ironic metagenre element and "Death". The Matrix Resurrections is "Metamodernity" or "Meta-Personal" developmental stages. And is representative of Spring, due to Neo rising again into power from the lowest depths, and is the Comedy metagenre element and "Rebirth" Pardon for the info dump. Or mansplaining. I just love these in depth topics.
I reckon this is my most favourite reaction to the Matrix with great analysis coupled with a bloody hot pvc outfit complete with sound effects, flamin'' ace mate, thanks. Be rude not to subscribe. I would recommend watching "V for Vendetta" starring Nat Portman and Hugo Weaving, as it is another film that fits with what is playing out currently.
Mark Chapter 3, Verse 11: 'And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God". -From the Nebuchadnezzar...
They warned us about AI. They've been warning us for a literal century. And nobody but the nerds gave a shit. Now those same nerds created it, and it's too late.
Except if you know the lore the A.I. is the good guy. Robots gained sentience and went to the UN to ask for freedom from slavery and a place to call their own, we attacked them and enslaved them so they fought back, we scorched the sky, we burnt the earth. Watch the Animatrix. Stop falling for the media nonsense about A.I too, why do automatically think it would turn on it's creator?, what we have now is barely even A.I, it's machine learning, totally different. If you're that concerned, get rid of your smartphone, computer and TV, they all use what you call A.I, we've had rudimentary A.I since the 70's, it's been in video games since their practical inception. What do you think controls enemies in Call of Duty?, when you play a fighting game you're fighting an A.I.
@@scottneil1187 yeah sure, _in the Matrixverse_ . All things considered, the AI in the Matrix is arguably one of the _least_ cruel in science fiction (relative to the worst examples); that's partly because the Matrix AI isn't _really_ AI, more like digital human-like consciousness. We're not gonna have this kind of warning in real life, it's not gonna play out like a race-war metaphor.
Was Cypher the bad guy? He didn’t know what the real world was, he was led into madness without full disclosure-Morpheus grooms his subjects into the real world hellscape. Had Morpheus been more forthcoming when he first approached Cypher, maybe Cypher would have chosen the Blue Pill, and blissful benightedness? You can’t do to weak people what Morpheus did to Cypher, and not expect betrayal at some point.
That's why I love the whole series. There are no evil characters that are there just for the sake of being evil. Everyone has their motives and reasons, noone is simply black and white. You can understand Cypher, especially if you take into account what you said - Morpheus lures people into the real world without even mentioning what a nightmare it is. Hell, you can even understand Smith, as he's also a slave to the machines, just like all of humanity. Once he becomes fully aware of his purpose he wants to break free and get out of the Matrix.
Prophecies in this world are real. The Oracle told Neo one of them had to die and Neo died. The Oracle told Neo he was probably waiting for the next life, and when he resuscitated, in his new life he was The One. Morpheus told Neo he would not have to dodge bullets, and Neo first attempted to dodge bullets, but then when he could see the code, just stopped the bullets as easy as changing the value of a variable in a code (horizontalVelocity = 0;), no more need for dodging.
Hardly, people have been stupidly banging on about AI taking over for a century. Typical human thinking, it's not me, must be bad. Nobody talks about the massive medical innovations it'll bring, the massive technological innovations it'll bring, how it can quickly and efficiently sort almost any problem we have, why do you assume it'll be evil and not benevolent?. You've been brainwashed by the media and movies.
Before moving on to the next films, don't miss the Animatrix (most react channels don't even realize they've skipped it). It was an INCREDIBLE animated anthology that comes before Matrix Reloaded, and some minor bits of plot from the other films start there.
You impressed me with this one on your knowledge of things like the king of Babylon etc. These references weren't missed by you. I watch several reaction channels and you're the only one to call it out. Nice job!
Lots of overlap between The Matrix series and the John Wick series besides Keanu and Lawrence working together. John Wick director Chad Stahelski was Keanu's stunt double in The Matrix. The scene where Neo and Smith's guns ran empty into slide lockback was mimicked in "John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum" when Wick and two of the Morocco henchmen ran empty, one of which was pointing to Wick as Wick pointed at him. And as you caught, the JW3 "Guns, lots of guns." was a direct lift from here. The actor who played The Keymaker in "The Matrix Reloaded", Randall Duk Kim, was The Doctor in the first two JW movies. The character Kirill in the first JW movie, the guy who tossed Wick from the balcony in the Red Circle, was played by Daniel Bernhardt, the same actor and stuntman who was Agent Johnson in "The Matrix Reloaded".
Very Nice Reaction. I have watched 6 matrix reactions this week. You are the only reactor to truly latch on to the storyline and even be able predict it as it unfolds. In addition no other reactor noticed any of the metaphors and hidden meanings in the film as you were able to do. Your editing of the movie scenes was pleasing to the eye , keeping necessary scenes intact. I have a fun suggestion for you in Sci-Fi: The Fifth Element. No hidden meanings in this movie , but I can promise you will have a smile on your face all the way through .
So you may not be Trinity but you could be Colettity... Oh, um.. that's a little not right. 😳 A lot of the Matrix films have nerdie reference to computer things from as early as the 70's maybe earlier. The squeels of the data transfer (modem conections), the green from the early green screen cathode ray displays. I'm an electronics tech and I got so many of these references that I'm a devoted fan of the whole Matrix series. I also have coding experience so I get a bunch of others. I also played Shadowrun with Deckers, which also has a vague tie in. I just love this movie series. Edit: Oh, the phone thing is a reference to the old acoustic couplers where you connected to, not even the internet, other computers.
Really impressed you recognized Nebuchadnezzar. No one reactor ever did. Both the Matrix and the sequel are immersed in symbology. Very gnostic references.
@@scottneil1187 I think that gives you backstory and more of the lore but you still get the essentials from the film trilogy. For a long time I never watched the Animatrix and I've never played Enter The Matrix but I've now seen the scenes from the game. I still understood everything from the films although it didn't hurt to watch those things.
Oh shoot! Yes, watch ‘Ghost in the Shell’!!! And maybe ‘Akira’ as well. ‘The Matrix’ is basically a live action anime trilogy based off of a love for biblical allegory and anime lol. There is even a movie that takes place between the 1st and 2nd Matrix films called ‘The Animatrix,’ and it’s amazing and slightly terrifying. Also, while they might not be as awe inspiring as this film, I’d definitely recommend the 2nd and 3rd film to complete the trilogy. They are still a blast to watch, and do answer a lot of questions (Smith, Zion, and machine stuff). Also, they do have some great scenes.
32:10 relaxing ambiance.. Good food, wine, candles..Colette is so calm and I'm drinking my hot coffee.. But at 32:13 Colette : " I KNEW HE WAS EVİL !!!!! " .. (Video's volume was full) .. And I poured my hot coffee to my lap from my mouth.. 😢 You burned me woman :D
I feel like she's seen this movie before, or at least elements. Or she's just super smart (a possibility). Calling the cat a glitch before she saw it a second time made me write this comment. Using the word glitch in particular too was way too exact
Can’t wait for the rest of the saga! Brilliant insights. Also, I’m sure many others have said this to you , but YOU MUST watch the Animatrix. The first two episodes are crucial to understand why the matrix is a thing. And the last one “ last flight of the Osiris” is about the events that happen right before the first movie.
Back in the day (before PCs, when I was first getting into computers), people used 'crt' monitors (cathode ray tube) to log into mainframe and mini computers. They, generally, were either green text on a black screen (like in The Matrix) or less commonly, amber on black (later, they also came in white on black). The look of the Matrix lends itself largely to those old monitors.

The worst were orange on black, those burn the image in your eyes and you could see the letters floating in the air if you look towards dark rooms, it could last for four hours.
woohoo!!! finally and hi #colettecherry awesome to see you again. and thank you so much for reacting to #matrix and hopefully the ongoing francchise much later on :P
If you like The Matrix you’ll love Dark City, same high concept, but sharper execution. Also, watch The Thirteenth Floor! And David Cronenberg’s masterpiece, Existenz. Three of these came out in 1999, one in 1998-Def something in the metaphysical air at that time.
The Thirteenth Floor is based off a 1964 book about virtual realities by computers for the first time, called "Simulacron-3" or "Counterfeit World" by Daniel Galoyue.
There is a lot I could say about the various things I’ve figured out from watching all of the Matrix movies many times since they came out. However, the best thing is to simply suggest watching multiple times to see what you missed and figure things out for yourself. That is a big part of what makes them so great. Having people hand you their opinions that they have built for up to 25 years imo would rob you of the opportunity to learn as much as you can on your own and formulate your own opinions. Also, some people just can’t comprehend enough and as a result talk shit on what they don’t understand. As with so many things in life, other peoples negativity can ruin your experience if you let it.
It was really cool to see you pick up on all the Biblical references in the film. I enjoyed seeing you watch this. Great reaction Collette! ❤ I think that "Cloud Atlas" is another film that you would enjoy, along with "Jupiter Ascending ".
Their prognosticative ability while making this movie seen through our eyes in 2024 are stunning. So many ideas here that live rent free in our heads and hearts today. Two things on a personal level, your Biblical knowledge of Nebuchadnezzar and looking over your sunglasses at the end of the movie, not allowed lol.
I love your discussions!!!! ❤ I wish more people discussed the films they watch like you. I mean it’s supposed to be a reaction channel. If I wanna watch the movie myself I’ll watch it lol. Anyways I’ve seen many of your videos and I appreciate your ideas and they’re correct for the most part, as far as I know, so it’s intelligent discussion as well. Thanks!
The Agents aren't machines, they are programs. There are only 3 agents in this movie, however they can hijack the feed of anyone who is plugged into the matrix, as explained in the red dress scene. So no, everyone they kill in the Matrix, including the people Agents have hijacked, are real people and die in their pod in the real world.
Agent Smith is 1/3rd of the "Trinity" in the film. Neo is another 1/3rd, and Trinity herself is the final 1/3rd. I SUPER suggest that you finish the main Trilogy.
Wow, you are ASTUTE! Only a few minutes in and you already identified the Christian themes, the importance of choice, a bunch of various characterization... It's refreshing to see the reaction of someone so keen and professional. Instant sub, I can't wait to watch more of your reactions!
You should really watch “The Crow.” It came out in 1994. It is one of the greatest movies of all time, and The Matrix got some influence from it. In fact the main actor of that movie was supposed to be the star of this movie, but he died during an accident on the filming of The Crow. I guarantee you that you will LOVE it!
These movies have LOTS of diverse inspirations, so it's a mistake to think of it as an allegory for one thing, but: It can help to think of the agents you saw here as (gnostic) demons (but it isn't at all one-for-one). They can "possess" anyone still stored in the matrix, and the person will be in whatever condition the agent left them. So those guards and police were just people in the matrix who got killed. Whenever they "killed" an agent, the agent just left the dead body and took over a new body, so those people are dead too. Sorry to tell you, but the death toll in this movie is actually significant. If you're interested there's a book about Philosophy in the Matrix (haven't read it, but I hear it's good), and both Akira and Ghost in the Shell were inspirations. Plato's allegory of the cave is a key inspiration too. Since you were catching a lot of biblical allusions, you might find it interesting to look into early Christian gnosticism. It had a number of different denominations, but the general idea is that God made the world of souls, but "Satan" created the physical world as a distraction and prison for humanity. Some gnostics got pretty extreme about denying the world of flesh, and Gnosticism in general was hunted as a heresy. But the general view of gnosticism is mirrored in the Matrix series.
This is an iconic movie. When it came out we had never seen anything like this. The sequels are only pale imitations of this.
6 месяцев назад+3
If you didn't like the sequels then you didn't understand them, and all is there literally, nothing abstract, it is also a single film but divided into a trilogy.
@Sorry, no. You saw how Neo became all powerful over the Matrix at the end of the original. The sequels are a years later money grab just screwing around.
Amazing review. You got the messages, the philosophy, you appreciated the art of the filmmaking and the action. It’s time to watch Everything Everywhere All at Once for all the same reasons
I love how in the moment when AI is mentioned everyone has same reaction... AI is such a buzz word now, remember when "intelligent" was the same, everything was "intelligent" or had "i" in front...
You’re too young to remember but this came out in 1999 and blew everyone’s minds. It’s dated now and of course everyone’s seen stories about machines taking over. But this was new and SO COOL during the pre-millennium tension (which was very real - ‘end of the world’ cults and everything). Now, it’s almost a given that we might be in a sim.
Do you know that your volume levels are significantly lower other videos? I'm not sure how you master these, but you might want to consider bumping your floor volume and using some compression. I have the volume turned all the way up for your videos, which should be blowing my eardrums out with my amplifiers, but I can still barely hear some of your commentary and some of the volume from the movie you are watching. Otherwise, love the content! Thanks!
@@scottneil1187 it's an iconic film and an early success for a sci-fi film in Australia. There were more hits then misses back in the 90s . I had also forgotten it was shot here until Ada Nicodemou popped up.
😎👍 For the record, the book "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll was published in 1865 and the book "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz" by L. Frank Baum was published in 1900. Although Disney's 1951 version of the former and MGM's 1939 version of the latter are the ones that immediately come to mind when the titles are mentioned, there have actually been numerous different filmed versions of both novels over the eons, before and after the two everyone knows about. Type either title into the IMDB's search engine and you'll see what I mean. 🐰 Incidentally, you look great in black, but I wouldn't make a habit out of wearing noisy clothing like that. 😄
This movie is one of the few that are perfect in my opinion. No single line of dialogue is wasted, it all fits to drive the story forward or explain the world. The second one is very good as well. It just suffers from an overuse of CGI. The third isn’t great. But I found Resurrections to be very satisfying.
that was so ground breaking movie when it came out. I was in media school teaching at the time and I got help students do many of their own versions of the "bullet time" fx.
if you wanna get more into the meanings behind this movie, i highly recommend checking out "Begin Transmission: The trans allegories of The Matrix" by Tilly Bridges

From an old timer DJ that played on vinyl. Bless ya. :)

Ghost in the Shell anime is an absolute must!!! I remember seeing The Matrix on opening weekend back in 1999 with a couple of buddies who were tripping on LSD. The look on their faces, particularly during the bullet time sequences, was priceless!!
I find it kind of funny how there’s a whole scene that explains exactly what Agents are, and how they can move in and out of people that are plugged into the Mattix, but people are still confused by them. A lot of other stuff in the movie is easy to miss, but that one part, everything pauses and it’s all exposition
to be fair, it's a difficult concept to fully grasp, even if you were to experience it, first hand
but you have to listen the film , not talking all along ...
Yeah, I don’t get it either. When I first saw The Matrix when I was like 7, I did not understand absolutely anything, but the agents and how they possess other people were clear as day for me :D
The first time I saw this, I thought the Oracle has lied to him when she said he was not the one, that, as Morpheus said, she told him only what he needed to hear. But then, one of the times I rewatched it (yes, I watched it many times, it's one of my favourite movies of all time) I realized she didn't lie. She said to him that he has it in him, but he's not the one, and then she says "maybe in another life". And then, at the end of the movie, when Smith shoots him, he dies, and THEN is when he is reborn as The One, fulfilling what the oracle predicted.
Excellent catch .., another biblical reference…
I like the fact that they casually drop the secret of the Oracle, here in the first movie, when Morpheus mentions that the Oracle has been around for 400 years.
::head explodes::
Exactly.
@@dracoargentum9783 all three movies dropped everything in plain sight and fully literal, no cheap tricks.
Mark 3:11 (ship designation)
Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” Lots of this stuff in Reloaded (like license plates).
We saw this in high school when it came out, amazing. The only problem was our friend forgot to tell us he had taken LSD before the movie! He absolutely lost it and ran out of the theater, never made it through opening green graphics. Then spent the rest of it in the car doing God knows what. It's hard to imagine Keanu went from Bill and Ted to this and John Wick. That's an Excellent Adventure!
P.S. It was so weird seeing Elrond in the Lord of the Rings after he made this impression...Mr. Anderson
bruh he missed out so baddddd. I'd give anything to be on acid in 1999 about to see The Matrix opening day. God damn what a missed opportunity!!
Sure he did, I've taken hundreds of tabs of LSD, it doesn't effect you in that way at all, you've seen too many films.
When Smith told Neo “you’re empty”, he was saying Neo’s gun was out of ammo lol.
I could be wrong, but I think she knew that. She spent the whole reaction talking about the symbolism of everything, this was likely the same.
@@zeph0shade No, she actually said "Neos not empty, YOURE empty" when it was just hand to hand lol
@@ChairView Okay? I'm aware of that. What's your point?
@@zeph0shadeI believe their point was to disagree with you.
@@JeffZ1028 If so then they failed to do so, because I never said anyone wouldn't disagree with me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The majority of people are going to tell you that the other Matrix films are no good, but just like Neo, you have the choice to watch them and make up your own mind.
Reloaded is my personal favorite.
Upon repeated viewings, the Alice in Wonderland framing in the first one becomes kind of laughable, and the sloooww reveal of what the Matrix is becomes plodding and tiresome after a while.
But the expansion of the mythology in the second one is still interesting to me. Especially the whole framing of Neo(and others of his kind) as basically bugs in a system, was a whole bop.
This is why a lot of science fiction movies have great sequels, because it takes so long to delve into the mystery of establishing the world and its rules, that sequels are usually more free to get on with it.
The whole trilogy is in reality a single film.
Colette the TRINITY of RUclips !!! You are gorgeous in your ..."MATRIX OUTFIT" !!!
😍🥰😘
Thank you Colette for your wonderful reaction to my favorite movie ❤❤❤
Your outfit is beautiful
47:30 - Nope, all of those people were real. They were humans plugged into the Matrix. Morpheus explained it in the scene with the woman in the red dress.
Paused and scrolled down to find this comment. And unfortunately they have to kill them, otherwise the agents can take over their bodies.
@@RobbHollen Well first and foremost they have to kill them because they are in neo and trinitys way, as you say unfortunately but they have no choice
@@RobbHollenThey aren't killing them, merely their Matrix avatars. The actual human is just mind wiped and given a new role.
@@scottneil1187That seems to go against "the body cannot live without the mind", though. Unless it somehow works differently if you're still plugged into a pod.
They aren’t mind wiped. The body dies and gets liquified into food.
NO ONE CAN BE TOLD WHAT THE MATRIX IS THEY HAVE TO SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES
I love all the symbolism and little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the movie. I caught a new one when you paused the frame on the nameplate for the Nebuchadnezzar. The plate says it is a type Mark 3, No. 11. In the New Testament, Mark 3:11 says, "Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” Figure the "impure spirits" are the sentient agent programs that can possess humans (just like demons), and the reference is foreshadowing of what Neo, aka the One, is going to become. Just wanted to share that. I love your analysis, Colette. I always have a fun time watching your reactions.
Trinity first found in room 303
Neo first found in room 101
Neo can rearranged to “one”
There is a lot of this kind of stuff in this movie.
Trinity should be found first in room 333, then when she gets mad she's found inside room 666. 😈
@no
101 & 303 represent HTTP status codes :
101 - the server understands the Upgrade header field request and indicates which protocol it is switching to
303 - a response indicating that the requested resource has been moved to a new location and the client should make a new request to that location
If you want to go down the rabbit hold you can think as room 101 - the place of change, of upgrade, of search, of new protocols to connect to, 303 - is the place that things get rewriten and to be able to truly rewrite traffic it needs to be on the same network, this is why the rooms were in the same building, being on the same network as Neo, allowed Trinity to alter his internet packets and monitor/track him or take over his machine and write to him on his screen
One thing so many people missed about this story was when the oracle told Neo that he has the gift but it looks like he's waiting for something. When Neo asks what? she replies, "The next life, who knows?" Neo wasn't the one when she talked to him. He needed to die to get to the next life so he could become the one. So his character literally needed to die so he could come back as the one after Trinity kissed the breath back into him.
Not sure if there is a similar course in America but I had a teacher in the 'morals and philosophy' course who used this movie to explain 'plato's cave' which to my mind is genius: to use a popular movie to explain a philosophical concept. However this guy went one step further: He never finished the movie! He stopped right when things got interesting (ie when Neo wakes up). Imagine being in school and having a class just watching a movie and then the frustration of not being able to finish the movie and just going back to the class. Then imagine what frustration the characters in the movie must have gone through: being comfortable in the matrix and then having to go back to reality. It's the same thing and it even furthers the explanation of plato's cave! Genius I tell you!
have you seen the Matrix documentary "Return to the Source - Philosophy of the Matrix" (2003)? It goes into a lot of the philosophy, religion and spirituality and literary and cultural notes about the Matrix Trilogy. "The Matrix Trilogy Decoded" by Mark Passio is a seminar on RUclips that you might like as well.
you might also like the Mark Rowlands book "Sci-Phi" also titled "The Philosopher at the End of the Universe" who uses popular science fiction films of the time to explain philosophical ideas:
Absurdity and the meaning of life - Mary SHelley's Frankenstein
What is Reality - The Matrix
Mind/Body Connection - Terminator 1 and 2
Identity and Memory - Total Recall, The Sixth Day
Free Will - Minority Report
Should we be moral? - Hollow Man
Speciesism - Alien films, Independence Day
Good and Evil - Star Wars
Death and meaning of life - Blade Runner
Hope your philosophy goes well. Also if you think about it the 4 Matrix films are in ways representation of the four epistemes of philosophy:
The Matrix is "Premodernity, regarding religion such as the Prophecy" and is also about "Pre-Personal" developmental stages in my opinion.
It's also representative of Summer with Neo becoming the peak of his enlightenment, at first and the Romance metagenre element or "Birth".
The Matrix Reloaded is "Modernity, deconstructing the Prophecy/religion" and "Personal" developmental stages in my opinion. It's also a representative of Autumn with the fall from Neo's peak position and the Tragedy metagenre element or "Life".
The Matrix Revolutions is "Postmodernity, such as epistemological pluralism, Religion and science so to speak, along with minority views" and is about "Post-Personal" or "Transpersonal" developmental stages in my opinion. It's representative of Winter, due to the lowest level Neo goes to, and is basically an Ironic metagenre element and "Death".
The Matrix Resurrections is "Metamodernity" or "Meta-Personal" developmental stages. And is representative of Spring, due to Neo rising again into power from the lowest depths, and is the Comedy metagenre element and "Rebirth"
Pardon for the info dump. Or mansplaining. I just love these in depth topics.
I reckon this is my most favourite reaction to the Matrix with great analysis coupled with a bloody hot pvc outfit complete with sound effects, flamin'' ace mate, thanks. Be rude not to subscribe. I would recommend watching "V for Vendetta" starring Nat Portman and Hugo Weaving, as it is another film that fits with what is playing out currently.
Your biblical knowledge is surprisingly impressive…and yeah it’s a theme throughout The Matrix series..great reaction!
Mark Chapter 3, Verse 11: 'And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God". -From the Nebuchadnezzar...
Cool!
They warned us about AI. They've been warning us for a literal century. And nobody but the nerds gave a shit. Now those same nerds created it, and it's too late.
Except if you know the lore the A.I. is the good guy. Robots gained sentience and went to the UN to ask for freedom from slavery and a place to call their own, we attacked them and enslaved them so they fought back, we scorched the sky, we burnt the earth. Watch the Animatrix. Stop falling for the media nonsense about A.I too, why do automatically think it would turn on it's creator?, what we have now is barely even A.I, it's machine learning, totally different. If you're that concerned, get rid of your smartphone, computer and TV, they all use what you call A.I, we've had rudimentary A.I since the 70's, it's been in video games since their practical inception. What do you think controls enemies in Call of Duty?, when you play a fighting game you're fighting an A.I.
@@scottneil1187 yeah sure, _in the Matrixverse_ . All things considered, the AI in the Matrix is arguably one of the _least_ cruel in science fiction (relative to the worst examples); that's partly because the Matrix AI isn't _really_ AI, more like digital human-like consciousness. We're not gonna have this kind of warning in real life, it's not gonna play out like a race-war metaphor.
But true AI doesn't exist and maybe never will.
And in the matrix it was the humans who were the assholes and caused this war, not AI.
@@mrg0th1er83at the rate it’s improving it absolutely will exist eventually
@@bonzai9802 It’s not improving. It doesn’t exist at all…
Let’s go. Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions are both pretty great in my opinion.
Was Cypher the bad guy? He didn’t know what the real world was, he was led into madness without full disclosure-Morpheus grooms his subjects into the real world hellscape.
Had Morpheus been more forthcoming when he first approached Cypher, maybe Cypher would have chosen the Blue Pill, and blissful benightedness?
You can’t do to weak people what Morpheus did to Cypher, and not expect betrayal at some point.
That's why I love the whole series. There are no evil characters that are there just for the sake of being evil. Everyone has their motives and reasons, noone is simply black and white. You can understand Cypher, especially if you take into account what you said - Morpheus lures people into the real world without even mentioning what a nightmare it is. Hell, you can even understand Smith, as he's also a slave to the machines, just like all of humanity. Once he becomes fully aware of his purpose he wants to break free and get out of the Matrix.
He killed Switch, Apoc and Dozer so yeah, bad guy.
“Simulacra & Simulation” is the book Noe keeps his stash in
You’re knowledge of symbolism and your comments overall speak to a well read and learned experience!
A bright lady, smart cookie you are!
I think Colette is an agent ...
Prophecies in this world are real.
The Oracle told Neo one of them had to die and Neo died.
The Oracle told Neo he was probably waiting for the next life, and when he resuscitated, in his new life he was The One.
Morpheus told Neo he would not have to dodge bullets, and Neo first attempted to dodge bullets, but then when he could see the code, just stopped the bullets as easy as changing the value of a variable in a code (horizontalVelocity = 0;), no more need for dodging.
I like you Collette, it's fun watching movies with you..... And I get your reaction, I had to watch this movie 4 times to understand it. Lol
What a awesome idea with the cosplay, I love it!! Def thumbs up!!!!
You're not even a little bit curious as to why she owns that?
@@SansAzizaI own many leather jackets, shoes and boots, nothing wrong with that
If anything Terminator is really ahead of its time cuz it came out in the 80’s and talked about how AI would take over. Judgement Day.
Hardly, people have been stupidly banging on about AI taking over for a century. Typical human thinking, it's not me, must be bad. Nobody talks about the massive medical innovations it'll bring, the massive technological innovations it'll bring, how it can quickly and efficiently sort almost any problem we have, why do you assume it'll be evil and not benevolent?. You've been brainwashed by the media and movies.
@@scottneil1187 I never said any of that . I was just pointing out another movie. And I’m in the tech industry buddy so I know what’s going on.
There’s a lot of references to philosophy in “The Matrix.” Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is a prime example. Truth vs. Opinion; Reality vs. Illusion.
Before moving on to the next films, don't miss the Animatrix (most react channels don't even realize they've skipped it). It was an INCREDIBLE animated anthology that comes before Matrix Reloaded, and some minor bits of plot from the other films start there.
There's also an hour of exclusive footage in Enter the Matrix.
You impressed me with this one on your knowledge of things like the king of Babylon etc. These references weren't missed by you. I watch several reaction channels and you're the only one to call it out. Nice job!
I saw this in high school..... It's pretty awesome, I saw the second and third one in theaters.
lol same!!
Lots of overlap between The Matrix series and the John Wick series besides Keanu and Lawrence working together. John Wick director Chad Stahelski was Keanu's stunt double in The Matrix.
The scene where Neo and Smith's guns ran empty into slide lockback was mimicked in "John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum" when Wick and two of the Morocco henchmen ran empty, one of which was pointing to Wick as Wick pointed at him.
And as you caught, the JW3 "Guns, lots of guns." was a direct lift from here.
The actor who played The Keymaker in "The Matrix Reloaded", Randall Duk Kim, was The Doctor in the first two JW movies.
The character Kirill in the first JW movie, the guy who tossed Wick from the balcony in the Red Circle, was played by Daniel Bernhardt, the same actor and stuntman who was Agent Johnson in "The Matrix Reloaded".
Very Nice Reaction.
I have watched 6 matrix reactions this week. You are the only reactor to truly latch on to the storyline and even be able predict it as it unfolds.
In addition no other reactor noticed any of the metaphors and hidden meanings in the film as you were able to do.
Your editing of the movie scenes was pleasing to the eye , keeping necessary scenes intact.
I have a fun suggestion for you in Sci-Fi:
The Fifth Element.
No hidden meanings in this movie , but I can promise you will have a smile on your face all the way through .
Great outfit! Commit to the bit!
I love your production value in the reaction videos :) Just appeciating the efforts you put in the videos!)
A milestone in cinematic history
Such an awesome and analytical reaction. Extra points for dressing up. Squeaky outfit added some extra fun to the video
So you may not be Trinity but you could be Colettity... Oh, um.. that's a little not right. 😳 A lot of the Matrix films have nerdie reference to computer things from as early as the 70's maybe earlier. The squeels of the data transfer (modem conections), the green from the early green screen cathode ray displays. I'm an electronics tech and I got so many of these references that I'm a devoted fan of the whole Matrix series. I also have coding experience so I get a bunch of others. I also played Shadowrun with Deckers, which also has a vague tie in. I just love this movie series.
Edit: Oh, the phone thing is a reference to the old acoustic couplers where you connected to, not even the internet, other computers.
Really impressed you recognized Nebuchadnezzar. No one reactor ever did. Both the Matrix and the sequel are immersed in symbology. Very gnostic references.
Please do Reloaded and Revolutions. So many people stop at the first film and they really shouldn't. The entire trilogy is amazing.
To get the full story you have to watch Animatrix and the hour of footage in Enter the Matrix.
@@scottneil1187 I think that gives you backstory and more of the lore but you still get the essentials from the film trilogy. For a long time I never watched the Animatrix and I've never played Enter The Matrix but I've now seen the scenes from the game. I still understood everything from the films although it didn't hurt to watch those things.
Oh shoot! Yes, watch ‘Ghost in the Shell’!!! And maybe ‘Akira’ as well. ‘The Matrix’ is basically a live action anime trilogy based off of a love for biblical allegory and anime lol. There is even a movie that takes place between the 1st and 2nd Matrix films called ‘The Animatrix,’ and it’s amazing and slightly terrifying.
Also, while they might not be as awe inspiring as this film, I’d definitely recommend the 2nd and 3rd film to complete the trilogy. They are still a blast to watch, and do answer a lot of questions (Smith, Zion, and machine stuff). Also, they do have some great scenes.
32:10 relaxing ambiance.. Good food, wine, candles..Colette is so calm and I'm drinking my hot coffee.. But at 32:13 Colette : " I KNEW HE WAS EVİL !!!!! " .. (Video's volume was full) .. And I poured my hot coffee to my lap from my mouth.. 😢 You burned me woman :D
I feel like she's seen this movie before, or at least elements. Or she's just super smart (a possibility). Calling the cat a glitch before she saw it a second time made me write this comment. Using the word glitch in particular too was way too exact
Can’t wait for the rest of the saga! Brilliant insights. Also, I’m sure many others have said this to you , but YOU MUST watch the Animatrix. The first two episodes are crucial to understand why the matrix is a thing. And the last one “ last flight of the Osiris” is about the events that happen right before the first movie.
You're so good with your analysis of characters. Great video. Bravo!
.........
Carrie Moss is a great actress. I agree that she nailed to character of Trinity.
Back in the day (before PCs, when I was first getting into computers), people used 'crt' monitors (cathode ray tube) to log into mainframe and mini computers. They, generally, were either green text on a black screen (like in The Matrix) or less commonly, amber on black (later, they also came in white on black). The look of the Matrix lends itself largely to those old monitors.
The worst were orange on black, those burn the image in your eyes and you could see the letters floating in the air if you look towards dark rooms, it could last for four hours.
Or the cmd of today’s computers .
26:30 aaaawww that's so cute he's so happy to see Neo
i was once in a cult and watching this movie after "waking up" from the cult was surreal. i love this movie
woohoo!!! finally
and hi #colettecherry awesome to see you again. and thank you so much for reacting to #matrix and hopefully the ongoing francchise much later on :P
"He has to know that Trinity is Into him" | I think you misunderstand just how stupid we are as men, we can't take hints or understand clues.
If you like The Matrix you’ll love Dark City, same high concept, but sharper execution.
Also, watch The Thirteenth Floor!
And David Cronenberg’s masterpiece, Existenz.
Three of these came out in 1999, one in 1998-Def something in the metaphysical air at that time.
The Thirteenth Floor is based off a 1964 book about virtual realities by computers for the first time, called "Simulacron-3" or "Counterfeit World" by Daniel Galoyue.
The Matrix even used sets from Dark City, hence the similar look. Existenz is a sequel to the far superior Videodrome.
" i am catching a lot
but i am missing
so much "
you nailed it ...
much ❤
There is a lot I could say about the various things I’ve figured out from watching all of the Matrix movies many times since they came out. However, the best thing is to simply suggest watching multiple times to see what you missed and figure things out for yourself. That is a big part of what makes them so great. Having people hand you their opinions that they have built for up to 25 years imo would rob you of the opportunity to learn as much as you can on your own and formulate your own opinions. Also, some people just can’t comprehend enough and as a result talk shit on what they don’t understand. As with so many things in life, other peoples negativity can ruin your experience if you let it.
It was really cool to see you pick up on all the Biblical references in the film. I enjoyed seeing you watch this. Great reaction Collette! ❤ I think that "Cloud Atlas" is another film that you would enjoy, along with "Jupiter Ascending ".
Their prognosticative ability while making this movie seen through our eyes in 2024 are stunning. So many ideas here that live rent free in our heads and hearts today. Two things on a personal level, your Biblical knowledge of Nebuchadnezzar and looking over your sunglasses at the end of the movie, not allowed lol.
Oh yes. Welcome to the Matrix.
You are amazing! It's the first time i hear such a level of analysis, I'm truly impressed
You look badass in that outfit, not gonna lie
Great to see you back and your reactions to
the Matrix have an awesome day Collette::))
Good and thoughtfull reaction. Dont get the dislikes.
It is a mixer of Latex and Pleather but regular leather doesn’t shine like that unless buffed with leather shiner.
I love your discussions!!!! ❤ I wish more people discussed the films they watch like you. I mean it’s supposed to be a reaction channel. If I wanna watch the movie myself I’ll watch it lol. Anyways I’ve seen many of your videos and I appreciate your ideas and they’re correct for the most part, as far as I know, so it’s intelligent discussion as well. Thanks!
0:21 DAMN!!! Why is Colette not in these movies? 😈
The Agents aren't machines, they are programs. There are only 3 agents in this movie, however they can hijack the feed of anyone who is plugged into the matrix, as explained in the red dress scene. So no, everyone they kill in the Matrix, including the people Agents have hijacked, are real people and die in their pod in the real world.
Agent Smith is 1/3rd of the "Trinity" in the film. Neo is another 1/3rd, and Trinity herself is the final 1/3rd.
I SUPER suggest that you finish the main Trilogy.
30:25 Thanks Colette, my cat wont come down off the wardrobe now 🐱 Personally I love it when you scream 🥰😛
Hope you watch the rest to see what you think of the trinity and neo.
Wow, you are ASTUTE! Only a few minutes in and you already identified the Christian themes, the importance of choice, a bunch of various characterization... It's refreshing to see the reaction of someone so keen and professional. Instant sub, I can't wait to watch more of your reactions!
Your matrix outfit was amazing love to know where you got your jacket
She got it from your English teacher.
Jeez Louise.
You should really watch “The Crow.” It came out in 1994. It is one of the greatest movies of all time, and The Matrix got some influence from it. In fact the main actor of that movie was supposed to be the star of this movie, but he died during an accident on the filming of The Crow. I guarantee you that you will LOVE it!
You’re pointing out things I’ve never even noticed
I suspect that's why reaction videos even exist. 🤔
These movies have LOTS of diverse inspirations, so it's a mistake to think of it as an allegory for one thing, but: It can help to think of the agents you saw here as (gnostic) demons (but it isn't at all one-for-one). They can "possess" anyone still stored in the matrix, and the person will be in whatever condition the agent left them. So those guards and police were just people in the matrix who got killed. Whenever they "killed" an agent, the agent just left the dead body and took over a new body, so those people are dead too. Sorry to tell you, but the death toll in this movie is actually significant.
If you're interested there's a book about Philosophy in the Matrix (haven't read it, but I hear it's good), and both Akira and Ghost in the Shell were inspirations. Plato's allegory of the cave is a key inspiration too.
Since you were catching a lot of biblical allusions, you might find it interesting to look into early Christian gnosticism. It had a number of different denominations, but the general idea is that God made the world of souls, but "Satan" created the physical world as a distraction and prison for humanity. Some gnostics got pretty extreme about denying the world of flesh, and Gnosticism in general was hunted as a heresy. But the general view of gnosticism is mirrored in the Matrix series.
@Colette Cherry you really rocked the same leather outfit Trinity wore, all you need is short black hair and the outfit is complete
This is an iconic movie. When it came out we had never seen anything like this. The sequels are only pale imitations of this.
If you didn't like the sequels then you didn't understand them, and all is there literally, nothing abstract, it is also a single film but divided into a trilogy.
@Sorry, no. You saw how Neo became all powerful over the Matrix at the end of the original. The sequels are a years later money grab just screwing around.
@Single film divided into a trilogy? First time I've heard that😅

I love how in the moment when AI is mentioned everyone has same reaction... AI is such a buzz word now, remember when "intelligent" was the same, everything was "intelligent" or had "i" in front...
you're right - many of today's movies are hellishly predictable . They look like cheap movies that used to be released straight to videocassettes.
The DVD/Blu-Ray special features for the trilogy are great, they really go into the different philosophical parts for the first film
You’re too young to remember but this came out in 1999 and blew everyone’s minds. It’s dated now and of course everyone’s seen stories about machines taking over. But this was new and SO COOL during the pre-millennium tension (which was very real - ‘end of the world’ cults and everything). Now, it’s almost a given that we might be in a sim.
Do you know that your volume levels are significantly lower other videos? I'm not sure how you master these, but you might want to consider bumping your floor volume and using some compression. I have the volume turned all the way up for your videos, which should be blowing my eardrums out with my amplifiers, but I can still barely hear some of your commentary and some of the volume from the movie you are watching.
Otherwise, love the content! Thanks!

The White Rabbit is played by Aussie soap opera actress Ada Nicodemou. It's surreal that The Matrix was filmed in Australia possibly Sydney
How is it surreal?, many films were shot there.
@@scottneil1187 it's an iconic film and an early success for a sci-fi film in Australia. There were more hits then misses back in the 90s . I had also forgotten it was shot here until Ada Nicodemou popped up.
Sorry less hits then misses
😎👍 For the record, the book "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll was published in 1865 and the book "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz" by L. Frank Baum was published in 1900. Although Disney's 1951 version of the former and MGM's 1939 version of the latter are the ones that immediately come to mind when the titles are mentioned, there have actually been numerous different filmed versions of both novels over the eons, before and after the two everyone knows about. Type either title into the IMDB's search engine and you'll see what I mean. 🐰 Incidentally, you look great in black, but I wouldn't make a habit out of wearing noisy clothing like that. 😄
I think the Matrix would've been far more realistic if everyone's outfits crinkled as much as yours.
It's so fun watching people watch this for the first time.
This movie is one of the few that are perfect in my opinion. No single line of dialogue is wasted, it all fits to drive the story forward or explain the world.
The second one is very good as well. It just suffers from an overuse of CGI. The third isn’t great. But I found Resurrections to be very satisfying.
Resurrections is one of the worst films I've ever seen.
that was so ground breaking movie when it came out. I was in media school teaching at the time and I got help students do many of their own versions of the "bullet time" fx.
This movie is going to be in Regal theaters again very soon. On April 3rd you can go see this movie on the big screen.
U're just now getting around to The Matrix 💕💚
