      I've seen The Matrix somewhere between 7 to 9 times in the movies, each time with different people... I'm also one of those who loved Reloaded and Revolutions. Are they perfect? No! But still, they are great movies in my opinion... In regards to Matrix Resurrections, I'm equally nervous and excited... But no matter what people might be saying, I'll shoot for a viewing in the movies the very first week for sure!

      I was 26 in 1999 & this movie was mind-blowing, I had to watch it a twice in order to absorb all the new information & concepts I was trying to wrap my head around while trying to follow the story-line. I found the special-effects amazing & all the movies Mind-blowing.
      It actually help me realize there is more to the single-minded, man-made, socially constructed world I had been unknowingly living in for 26 years.
      So I gave up living a lie & decided to live a life I wanted to rather than do what I think others want me to do with my life, like my partner, mother or grown daughter.

    The typical Prince charming kiss to bring him back to life seems silly but if you think about it ...he only got shot in The matrix ,in the spaceship where they're at.... His physical ears and brain can hear what she's saying and that's what makes him hear her out of the "dream world matrix" and realize that he's not dead and so his brain started his heart again.

People just assume she was sorry to tell him he wasn't the one, but it's more likely she was sorry that he was the one, but he didn't think he was and didn't want to hear he was the one.

    I still remember getting this on VHS for my birthday the year it released. My aunt got it for me because I had asked for it, but she didn’t realize it was rated R until I opened it up and people were passing it around reading the synopsis on the back of the sleeve. I was only 9 or 10 but thankfully my parents just decided to watch it with me the first time through to make sure it wasn’t like a hard R rated movie. After that, I watched it so much that I eventually wore out the tape because it was my favorite movie and I had never seen anything else like that before in my young life. I honestly couldn’t even begin to imagination how big a part it played in my growth as a person from that point on, leading me to read more into different life philosophies, learning about AI, coding, hacking, even something simple just like Techno/EDM, and god knows what else. There’s no telling how significant the ripple effect from seeing this movie at that point in my life shaped who I’ve become today. One of my all time favorites. A classic.

    I really liked Elrond in this movie. And i really like the expression on people's faces when they realise either "oh shit Elrond was Agent Smith" or "Oh shit Agent Smith is Elrond" depending which movie they're watching when they see it.
    Also great is that the Oracle was right about everything she told Neo, if you think about it. "It looks like you're waiting for something... your next life, maybe" goes with the follow-up of "You're going to have to make a choice. In the one hand, you'll have Morpheus's life, and in the other hand, you'll have your own. One of you is going to die. Which one will be up to you." Then he dies, and comes back, and in his next life, he's the one.

  • @21stcenturyhiphop
    @21stcenturyhiphop 3 года назад +9

    I think this movie can be seen as an inadvertent comment on Keanu's status as a movie star at that point.
    When this film came out, Keanu wasn't the beloved star he is today. He'd had some successes ( Bill and Ted, Speed, Point Break), some failures ( Johnny Neumonic, Chain Reaction) but he would flip genres constantly, going from major studio films to small indie features in radically different genres, so he wasn't necessarily seen as a giant box office draw. He also wasn't considered a top tier thespian, and was constantly criticized for wooden acting in certain roles, as well as his odd vocal inflections and almost androgynous appearance.
    Once the Matrix was released, this uncertainty about Keanu actually subconsciously infects( and imo helps) the film. The doubt about Neo feels real, and the doubt about Keanu the actor is real too, and it helps you to root for him to succeed. Keanu blossomed after this film, just like Neo does.

    One of the greatest movies of all time. It's the first time the inspiration of anime came into a mainstream movie
    (the wachowskis were directly inspired by ghost in the shell 1995, another genre defining classic film, which is even more obvious on the Animatrix)
    So many ideas about the nature of the human mind, consciousness, systemic oppression and systems of control, AI and the future of technology. It's stuff that's still very relevant today, even more so now that these things are even more part of our daily lives.

    The Matrix was the very definition of cool back then, and still holds on. And yes, a lot of people say this is not fiction but a documentary :) Oh, and there are NO sequels on this one, that’s a myth. Animatrix is a great spin off, but there’s no such thing as a Matrix sequel as far as I am concerned.

    I almost didn't go to this film, because the only thing I knew about Keanu Reeves was Bill & Ted, and I thought, "Really? I don't know..." but my friends had already seen The Matrix and all said, "No, you don't understand! He's great in this, and the whole film is awesome! You have to see it! You have to!" So I begrudgingly went... only to LOVE it. I rewatch the first film every so often, because I just love it so much. It blew my mind, and it's so fun. So so good. Thanks for reacting to it!
    I still want to be Trinity when I grow up. 😉

    Something most people I know missed, Switch calls Neo Copper Top in the car under the bridge. 12:12 explains why, but by the time you get there you're so in to what's going on it's likely forgotten she said that to him before the bug removal excitement. Rewatching sheds so much light on so many behaviors and other details. I went 9 times when it was in theatres, still one of my top favorites today.

It's in my Top 5 movies of all time. It is an amalgamation of Philosophies, Anime, Mythologies and Science Fiction and other stuff. The sequels were disappointing, but still kind of entertaining.

    I`m a huge fan of "The Terminator & The Matrix", and I loved your reaction.
    It`s a pity I`m one year late but THANK YOU!
    I remember the time when "The Matrix" was released. It divided people into lovers and haters of this movie. The haters were those who didn`t understand it. It was always a good feeling to meet a new Matrix Lover :)))
    Probably someone already commented on this, but I have to mention it anyway. Many still don`t know that The Mother of "The Terminator" and "The Matrix" is the genius writer Sophia Stewart, who wrote her book in the 80s.
    You can google her and take a look at her magnificent personal story. Her idea was stolen from her. But she had the gut to fight back. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger called her and offered her $50,000 shush-up money. But she turned him down and went to court. Against all odds, she won!
    Also, Neo didn`t choose this alias by accident. When you mix the letters N E O, you get O N E.
    This means that it was clear from the start that he was "The ONE" 😎:)

    actually Keanu wasone of my fav heroes through the nineties, starting with Speed. Big crush.
    Loved him in devils advocate although i was too little to see it in the nineties (but i caught speed yeah ;) haha those days) same with point break. class acting.
    i loved his Jonathan in Coppolas Dracula despite imperfections and Constantine was so badass, which came after matrix trilogy. Keanu is really good in most things he's done IMO.
    And Carrie another underrated Canadian actor and am glad they both became the superstars they deserve to be in this film/franchise.
    oh another trivia, Carrie did that granite hall shootout scene with fractured ankle. she broke it while training, but hid her pain so as to not lose her role or get cut out if she delays the production. Blessed thing, she was so adorably dedicated 💖

    If u guys have not watched Babylon, u should give it a watch. It goes thru the motions the birth of film, cinema and Hollywood celebrities. At the end, there is a nod to the matrix and it gives me chills because of how it ties in to the Babylon story and the meaning behind it. And it does it all in a single flash.
    Matrix will always be iconic and still holds up well today. I was so blown away by the matrix. I was a junior in high school. Didn't fully understand it but the visuals were ground setting and I was blown away. My friend even ran up the walls of the theater hallways. He was on the athletic side which made it even funnier
