"quietly yearning for what you don't have, while dreading losing what you do".. That hits on so many levels!
yes indeed... the Matrix we call life...
This is the problem so many people have manifesting what they desire in life. Morpheus said that we have to let it all go, fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free our minds.
Just Heard that as I read your comment
@@marcalleyne5913 spooky lol. Maybe a glitch. AGENTS ARE COMING. Haha
I also like how the Analyst pushed his finger on Neo's forehead/Third eye/Anomaly source code
Who else was glad to finally see this channel back? I love the content and the deep detail they go into the matrix franchise. Welcome back to the simulation 😎
I sure am.
Love this channel and his narration
Me too
All of us.
Not about resurrections
When Morpheus asks Neo "Have you ever woken up from a dream that you was sure was real?" really gives context to the nightmares in Resurrection. One thing I find funny is the Matrix inside the Matrix theory was really embraced in the 4th movie.
the 4th is genius especially when you know the stories of the The Wachowskis and warner brothers
Seems like it. I'm really interested in whether or not Programs or Machines need humans to feel human emotions and senses outside of simple data processing.
Social media? A matrix within a matrix?
@@adrenalinex4 Yes. You hit the nail exactly.
Society is a Matrix where social media is again a Matrix within it.
@@ai10oz crazy bcuz i been telling my friends and fam that social media is a matrix within a matrix for the longest.
My biggest issue with Resurrections was simply that it was overly meta, to the point that I just couldn't take it seriously. When my wife and I watched it, we just kept asking each other, "Is this a parody of The Matrix? So, by the end of it, we both just shrugged our shoulders and said, "Well, that happened, and we can't get that time back."
Exactly my thoughts. I thought it was a joke.
I also thought it kept parodying itself, and didn't stop. I just lost interest of the plot.
I thought it was a great addition. Made the other ones make more sense. Certain things like the 1st Matrix being too good and 2nd being too evil, all the way to the current where balance is right on the cusp.
The real problem with the Matrix 4 is that it exists.
Movies 1-3 were a complete story. Matrix was not needed.
Anybody who has watched the ending of reloaded and the Architect's monologue would have known that the Amonaly code itself is The One. And by the time resurrections released there were already 3 anomaly carriers. And thats exactly why they had special powers.
Also Trinity kissing Neo to save him from death again kind of lets me think that the zion reality is a sim too. Thats one crazy mystery still going on after 20+ years of this franchise.
there are no universes that don't act like a sim. the rules are just intertwined to support the complexity of being and has infinite levels.
Isn't it that ZION or the new IO symbolically represent human body where mind arises through interactions with other minds forming The Matrix? And the purpose of any one is to realise that the one is neither mind nor body but a continuum connecting body and mind aka consciousness which is what is shown in Revolutions depicting peace is within when body and mind are one and the same where the problems arise only by separating mind and body.
And exactly the consequences of separation is explained in Resurrections and to reconnect just by bringing back memories from past but not through realising consciousness as Neo did in Revolutions. This explanation is what most of humans realise that we cannot realise reality as it is but only an illusion of reality.
@@ai10oz when being philosophical almost everything is open to interpretation. If thats how you relate to the story then that is indeed your truth or reality. You take a subjective view while I try and remain objective as much as I can.
@@T3Rmin4LCuRi0siTy I understood that 👍
Yeah like Jesus miracles but we all know it's a myth IN THE REAL WORLD 🌎
The 4th was a bad movie, that had a lot of good ideas, but terrible execution. They tried to cram like 5 hours worth of story and plots into 2.5 hours.
If there were ever a case of a movie needing to be split into part 1 and part 2, this was it.
Part one should’ve ended with Neo & Smith both waking up and remembering who they really are, and two picking up right after. That way, Hugo Weaving could’ve reprised his role in the second part. Having him played by a different actor just didn’t work.
Also.. And maybe I just never realized.... But what was "smith's" reason for even being in the movie. He was just thrown in there and it wasn't even him. An I missing something?
@@Brandon-xp1ob Probably just so they could say “Smith” was in the movie. Now Hugo Weaving was supposed to be in the movie, but he got stuck in Australia because of covid travel restrictions. Maybe they had to write around things because of that?
I get the direction they were going with it: two mortal enemies having to be coworkers & friends as well. It just didn’t work without Weavimg though.
One of my favorite things about the trilogy is how it plays with the Hero's Journey archetype. The first movie sets it up in the classic way, the second movie totally deconstructs it and the third movie reconstructs it in a way that's "real". Resurrections adds even more layers to the whole thing!
Yes! So true. The One was just another form of control, but Neo's desire to save Trinity & his willingness to gamble with humanity's life in the hopes of not perpetuating another cycle of control and freeing humanity at the end of Reloaded, and his dedication to peace (even at the cost of his own life) in Revolutions is why he's really a hero. Not just because he's a special boy in Matrix 1
This video is so great, because it takes my assumptions even further. I just forgot about the love aspect and this is quite sad.
And Trinity being the other anomaly was set up in her first scene in the franchise when she leviathed and easily killed them cops one was an agent
Which Lana called back to in Resurrections
Not counting all of the supernatural feats she did throughout including being able to go toe to toe with A Smith possessed Bane in the real world
I think the fact that you have so much content explaining and breaking down the matrix is the reason why this is my favorite movie franchise. It makes you think and that alone makes it so much better than most other movies. I didn't know people were complaining that Trinity was the new 1 replacing Neo. That alone just shows how many people didn't understand the trilogy or didn't care to understand it. Great job again!
Trinity isn't replacing Neo.
The thing is most people assumed "the one" was a single person
None of the old movies mentioned there being two anomolies at the same time.
I will say this. I’m a spiritual type of person and the matrix hits on that door a lot, but I was too upset about the movie. The way they did neo was pathetic. Now this video gave me better context but it still was a bad direction for me. But I really didn’t have that much expectation
Agreed.
There was a huge difference between the Anomaly and "the One" as the machines saw the One anyway. Neo really was still the One for Zion, because if Neo had returned to the Source in Reloaded all of Zion would have been destroyed anyway and only a few people would have been selected out of the Matrix (16 female and 7 male) to rebuild Zion. But Neo was the Anomaly who saved Zion, and being the Anomaly was much greater than being the Machine/Programs One. I am very Conservative in my politics and I loved how it was Trinity saving Neo from falling at the end. Neo saved her from the Matrix in Matrix 4 by winning the fight for her mind against the Analyst and then she physically saved him from falling at the end which would have killed Neo. I thought Matrix 4 was awesome. The movies became more and more intellectual and philosophical, and did not need the action for them to be great movies in my opinion. I wish Matrix 4 would have another movie after it, Matrix 5 to explain more about what the Analyst was saying at the end. But it might just be better to leave the audience to guess that maybe the Analyst was just mad he had lost control over them and that's why he was ordering them back to their pods, because Matrix 4 resolved all of the other movies so extremely well. I am not trying to say today's audiences are stupid at all. I just think in a time where people take things literally, they have more trouble getting their minds around movies like the Matrix that aren't as straightforward.
Bro, if you heard what Wachowsky said as a justification for this movie, you’ll have your heart broken. 😢
On #2.... it's important to point out that in the original screenplay humans were used as processors but the studio thought that was too complicated so the wachowski's changed it for them
i mean its about the meaning not the action as most other people think it is but my question is if its all a cycle and making the minds of humanity at bay to no conclusion was that more the purpose of the fourth movie !! will their be a sequel in 2040 ???? i don't get it? .
Anything is possible. The One is prophesized to destroy or "end" the matrix. So as long as they are still using it there could be more. But on the other hand if the meaning was just about where the anomaly ends the matrix to reboot it. Technically it happened after the first reboot and is an endless loop of ending every matrix only to restart it again. But also they ended #4 without the anomaly returning to the source to input the next reset. So who knows.
"the eccentric individuals working with Neo were designed to torture him" - ooh good point, I can't wait for your video on that.
People say, "the Matrix doesn't make sense" but what they really mean is, "I don't understand the Matrix". Two very different things. (Or they were expecting John Wick so when that wasn't what they got they just said it was "bad".🙄)
It actually doesn't make sense. Blocking out the sun would kill all life on Earth. Furthermore, the machines would know this and do it. They'd breed something easy to control, like, say, chickens, for energy, if of course geothermal heat did not make more sense to them. Thus, there'd be no need for an energy wasting Matrix.
The Matrix explained should be writing the script for a Matrix 5!
Because of your thorough analysis of the whole franchise leading up to the premiere of Ressurection made me have perhaps unrealistic expectations for the movie, but after seeing this i want to rewatch it, and give it another chance. THanks alot for all your time and effort giving us a whole new level of insight into the storyline.
Man this channel has grown to be one of my favorites since matrix is my favorite franchise. I might be one of the few people who likes the 3 first movies equally much because i really like to discuss about theories with my friends
Same.
I like the 4 movies equally.
@@TrollMagic1987 Yeah I know. That's what Spicy Ramen is saying.
i had to re-watch Matrix 4... i was a bit disappointed that it did not have more action... but upon second viewing i found the action is and was of the mind... so deep...
I don't think anyone I know disagrees that Trinity is a bad ass. She killed an agent in the first movie. Always forgotten.
And she kicked through lots of concrete walls I am really shocked people didn't see she'd eventually become the one
You guys are answering all the difficult questions. I love it. I'm very pleased to be subscribed to this content.
This movie was 100% ahead of it’s time. To think anyone can formulate an opinion after only watching it once is baffling.
I have already watched this movie at least 5 times, and with each viewing I find something more. I love it.
Really? Wow...I wish I did too. Honestly, I wish I liked it even a little bit.
Me too the first time I really didn’t like it. After a few days of thinking about it I wanted to see it again. 20+ viewing later is still find some new things to ponder and think about. Now it’s my 2nd fav on the franchise. I love it too.
@@Thorcat001 I loved it the first time ❤️ The sheer amount of references to previous movies and pop culture was awesome.
@@Sejl same. I was ecstatic with how they approached it. The people who didn't like it uniformly DONT UNDERSTAND THE STORY and still think Neo was ever the One or that the Red Pill was truth.... I had known this since Animatrix came out. People just want tedious, BS dumbed down media these days, that's all. You and I appreciate the actual story and philosophy behind it all.
The people who dislike this movie are the same ones praising movies like "M3gan" and "Us"... thinking they're marvels of cinema. So... let them hate the good stuff. They can't not do so.
It may be reading too much in, but the way The Architect says "I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next", it just struck me, seems to imply that there is a lot more potential complexity to the process than simply: 1. Newly designed Matrix is booted up; 2. Integral Anomaly arises; 3. Integral Anomaly returns to the source; 4. Matrix is redesigned based on feedback from the Integral Anomaly; 5. Start over at 1.
If that were always the cycle, why not count from the design of one Matrix to the next, or as I wrote it above, from the boot up? It's very interesting that the Integral Anomaly is the most reliable anchor point - and of course, as orderly a personality as The Architect would count by the most reliable anchor point, rather than an arbitrary point of "beginning".
Excellent analysis. I made sure I re-watched all three Matrix movies in the days before this one so I didn't have the disappointment or confusion that others have reported. In fact, I thought it was a near perfect sequel and made absolute sense.
So did I, and I agree. I don't get why people have so much hate for it. It makes me want to see more. The only part I disliked was hiw long they dragged out the last action scene. Unless I missed something they could have used the roof of any building to take the lovers leap off from. The Analyst had bullet time freezing power to use at any time up until Trinity awoke, chose Neo to reconnect and realized she had the power of flight instead of Neo. The Analyst seems like he was holding back or "playing" along his part more like he wanted it to happen. Just my observation.🤔
Your first explanation is a bit more believable if Neo is The One in the 6th version and this is now the 7th version, but it’s still questionable because Neo also has powers, he just can’t fly. I thought they were trying to say that they both are part of The One prophecy. The analyst even says it, “alone you two are insignificant” or something like that
The analyst was drugging him. Suppressing his code. And keeping his mind enslaved. So he wouldn't be a freethinker and awaken. Remember those blue pills he was taking in the jefferson airplane montage prescribed by his psychiatrist the analyst
What I thought when I heard the 6th version. Something like the Avatar series. He was the one in that moment but there where different generations before him
The One doesn't exist in this new version of the Matrix. The Architect made the previous versions and see the One as an anomaly of the Matrix. The reason for this is because, unlike the Analysist, he didn't understand human emotions. He needed the One to be reinserted into the source so that he can analyze the data collected, trying to get a better understanding of human emotions. The Analysist didn't need the One to collect data because he already understood human emotions when designing a new version of the Matrix. His moment of discovery was actually the moment he understood human emotions.
Ironically, in the current version of the Matrix, the Analysist wasn't trying to analyze human emotions like how the Architect was doing in his version of the Matrix.
the most common misconception is that part 4 was in any way needed or neccesary.
Something I learned a long time ago about the movies made by the "whatcha ma callem" siblings is that their are all ment to philosophical and allegorical. Their not made to entertain but to make people use their heads and analyze the symbols and get the deeper meaning of the films and learn how they relate to real life.
But now a days people just look at stories not as something to kearn from and expand their minds and perceptions about the world and themselves but just as sources of entertainment and nothing else. They just turn off their brains and hope the movies and stories distracts them from life long enough until they "finish" said life without having to think about anything meaningful that they would have to actively apply to said lives because that would be "just too freaking hard".
Invert everything and you'll get it. Agent Smith is meant to represent Christ. Neo, Trinity and Morpheus, are meant to be --- a certain phenomenon, False religion and False Prophecy. The matrix is actually supposed to be the Kingdom of God, and you are being encouraged to escape from that!
I knew the Matrix would be confusing and it definetly delivered.
In 99% of 1st movie Neo is not the One because he doesn't believe (maybe he's not in love) he is. In 2nd Neo, Morpheus and Trinity is the One like Holy Trinity. In 3rd Neo and Smith is the One like light and darkness. In 4th Neo and Trinity is the One like One love. PS. In Resurrections Analyst said to Neo: It's not just you
Also Morpheus was shot in his calf and he brushed it off we seen other redpillers get shot once and almost die
im soo happy and glad you guys are back at it!! i really missed watching your videos with my everyday lunch
I Hope we Get a Matrix 5 it can do Better but Bring Back Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith.
I thought the movie was great, now i want the matrix online to come back better.
I dont think Trinity became the One and pushed Neo to the back burner, i think it’s a shared role now, the source code is active in both of them.. Neo gradually demonstrating One powers as he relearns his capabilities (ie: stopping bullets and Neo blew up the wall at the Analysts apartment)and Trinity discovering her new powers.. and at the very end they were both flying.. also, the key statement the Analyst says “alone, neither of you are significant..” its when theyre close that the powers awaken.. together they both are the One
Thinking back, it always was the both of them. Trinity made Neo become the one, this time they both have the code. It’s never changed, just Trinity can now “tap into” those powers seeing as she too came back from the dead.
Duality .... ying and yang
For me, the action pieces were there just to keep the audience invested in the message of the movie. They went hand in hand, and resurrection failed to do that for most, i still love the philosophy of it, though, and these videos, keep it up!
They went over machines using strong emotions in the Animatrix as well, after watching this I'll give the Resurrection a watch. Awesome vid as usual 👌🏿
Wasn't the concept of machines using humans originally supposed to be for processing power instead of a energy resource? To me none of those uses seems logical since computers are far faster at computation and there are far better sources of energy such as nuclear power. I guess I can suspend my belief for entertainments sake, but I would consider those real plot holes in the stories logic
Prepare the be disappointed. Lots of good ideas but TERRIBLE execution. Fight scenes are like a lower budget Bourne movie.
@@user-mq4xp1gq3q rewatch the Animatrix the machines used thermal kinetic energies from the human body, and no that wouldn't be a plot hole they would be using a completely renewable and unlimited energy source while eliminating an enemy at the same time it's called efficiency
@@christonmoore701 The plot hole is that humans as an energy source is inefficient with having to house and feed them, and the energy output to run a machine city is not logically believable. The more efficient method would be to eliminate humans and use nuclear and hydrogen power, and probably clean the atmosphere to bring back solar energy
@@user-mq4xp1gq3q There’s been a lot around the net for years saying that about the computational powers of linking billions of brains together, but there has never been anything directly linked to the Wachowski’s saying it.
I was one that liked the movie. But I am also one that craves philosophy more than most. Its why I like all the Matrix movies and this channel that talks about them. So many now days don't want to think or talk philosophy, they want what they want and want others to agree with them. If you don't see things the way they do you are outcast.
im just gonna guess: you are a fan of nietzsche.
@@kellyfulwider9357 incorrect. I like philosophy and I have read his stuff but I don't agree with some of his outlooks.
Glad you came back fam
My problem with Matrix Resurrection is not the story or the lore but its production and cinematography. It looks like a parody filmed with phone camera.
Tbh i think all of the criticism would have been ok if they also invited back the same choreographer for all the fights and action scenes
Big fucking facts! Plain n simple movie 4 was dry af
You gotta admit though “ He is the Sixth!!” doesn’t have the same flow lol 😅
How about "He is the Six!"?
Matrix Resurrections was a perfect example of having everything that you need in place. Having a beautiful concept. Having a perfect idea. But doing it too late and a but too different. If they would have done that movie 10 years ago with a slitely tweaked story board, it would have been much better.
I for one always did deep dives into the matrix, so I was okay with the concepts and changes. I was okay with the updates and the "one" abilities being tied to the anomalies, not the person. For me, it was the timing, and the forcefulness of concepts without better explanation.
Unbelievable!!! I just watched the film again... I mean, finished just now! And then I was thinking about your videos and theories. So I opened youtube and... Well, here it is... Another amazing coincidence.
I loved the film as much as the previous trilogy. It has so much meaning and I hope you continue to provide great analysis and reviews!
Synchronicity
Trinity is the first main character we see in the franchise.. also it’s implied that the Oracle actually discovered the power of emotion because she used love to break the cycle.. and literally it was her kiss that brought neo back to life and he brought her back to life.. I always thought they had a deeper connection.. also they modified trinity and neo .. neo still has powers just not the ones we expected.. I think the goal of the movie was to subvert expectations and drive the point there was always a love story that took second place to the action..
Neo was another ONE, the 6th in coming and the 1st to choose Emotions over Actions.
I hope in future videos you start going deep DEEP into the inspiration behind the Matrix.... All the Buddhist and Hinduism philosophies that the Wachowskis based the Matrix upon!
That's exactly what Lana was trying to discourage people from doing. That's why she made Matrix 4 and killed the illusion and the fanbase.
I wish the Matrix 4 was an excellent sequel well received.
@@cruelangel_94 It was done bad on purpose, Lana wanted fans to stop researching about the deeper meaning behind the franchise.
Sounds like a drag. Don't do it matrix explain.
This channel takes me back to the old school days of the early 2000s, learning all the different philosophical and theological references homages and implications of the Matrix. Glad youre back at this thing.
I always assumed it was the cookies the Oracle gave Neo (and others) that influenced/gave Neo the power of 'the one.' Similar to how the Merovingian was able to influence feelings/behaviour with his 'cake recipe.' ;-) The Oracle was able manipulate the resistance into bringing about her 'prophecies.'
In matrix 1 trinity puts her hand up to try and stop the garbage truck and talks about stopping bullets before neo thinks about it
the most misunderstood about Matrix was when Neo used his bear hands to stop bullets. It wasn't his bear hands, it was his mind!
You guys should really do a video comparing the reception of 4 and 2
There's definitely some interesting parallels to draw there
One thing i didn't like is that... given how the movie plot was gonna be different from what Matrix had been until now, they should've at least kept the color palettes intact.
If you change absolutely everything to the point people don't recognize the movie being part of a classic saga... they'll definitively not like it.
Yeah green hue was gone. Should of at least changed it to blue to show that neo is obvious again or something
Remember, the "human battery" concept was a dumbing down forced by the studio. They didn't think audiences would follow the concepts without a simple analogy like Morpheus' battery analogy.
The original concept is not humans as power source, but humans as _processors_ - the human brain, massively networked, was supposed to be the hardware on which the Matrix ran, as well as providing additional processing for their machine masters.
She was never the lesser character! He dies at the end of the original movie and her kiss resurrects him. Also, how is a film whose entire message is 'love conquers all, even death' (the original movie) not a love story? I loved Matrix 4, in fact I'm gonna rewatch it rn.
Where can I get that image of neo or others like it above?
As for humans being turned into batteries, I am pretty sure that you have also mentioned it, but the original script was having The Matrix use the human minds as computer CPUs to run The Matrix, I think the original script idea makes more sense, because it is possible that the human mind is the greatest computer ever invented and maybe the machines could not even invent computers to match its potential. Warner Brothers however thought that the concept of the human minds being used as CPUs rather than the humans as batteries would have been too confusing for the general audience to understand (which I disagree with, but how the machines are using the humans is not really that important, only that they are being used as slaves with parasitical machines feeding off of them in some way).
I think the big misconception that made people dislike The Matrix Resurrections was them assuming it came from a worse place than it did. There is a lot of soul in that movie. But I think like with the sequels back in the day a lot of people didn't get it and then assumed it was another cash grab exploiting nostalgia.
I went into the movie fearing that that's what it would be, and I had the biggest grin on my face for the first few minutes as the movie assumed I'd think that, parodied it and then surprised me hugely with where the story went. I'm a huge fan of how personal Resurrections feels. I can really feel the change in Lana between it and the first three movies. There's such a deep appreciation of humanity in there.
But yeah. The sheeple don't want this... sentimentality. They want Neo and Trinity back in their pods, conforming to their expectations. (as much as I think the word sheeple is silly and reductive)
There is a difference between sentimentality, nostalgia and consistency with cannon, both in terms of mythos and tone. The reason people hated Resurrections is because it showed considerable disdain for the tone and established mythos. The film set out to not be a cash grab, but did so by making a joke of the concept of a cash grab - because apparently Lana thought the meta was clever, poignant and ironic. But what it ended up doing was hollowing the sincerity of the tone of the original trilogy; postmodern-ifying what was essentially a classic hero's tale and turning it into social critique (which, frankly, is played out). I agree that the film feels personal. It feels much more like a quirky essay than a Matrix blockbuster, but why would Lana make it under the auspices of that IP? She could have told this story with entirely different characters in a completely different setting, with far less confusion and fewer misdirects. But she wouldn't have a built in audience with the name recognition. An audience that largely felt betrayed and consequently fled the film following initial reviews. Everything good an essential to Lana's personal film has nothing especially to do with the story or the characters - they were mannequins with an in-built universe which she used hang her opinions on. The Matrix story didn't demand this commentary. In fact, no one NEEDED another Matrix movie. It was mandated and it consequently felt entirely perfunctory and contrived.
They're plugged into the Hollywood Matrix.
@@WTHFX damn you must be the architect. Your words are as cryptic and confusing as his. Ergo, congorditly visa vi
Glad to see some defense of resurrections. There are definitely valid critiques but most of the largest critiques I’ve seen seen to come from people who fundamentally don’t understand the story of the previous films or solely care about the action. The action was definitely a major step down from previous films but the philosophy and world building was strong and compelling.
simple way to understand this ... Lana purposefully tried to tank the 4rth move so the studio wouldn't venture down the road of milking a cash cow that failed at the box office.
I always thought that "the one" was more like "remainder +1" as if the Matrix had an unfinished equation and to rebalance itself it added the "one" to a random human.
I’m stupid. You guys help me appreciate these movies on such a bigger level.
You can appreciate it even more if you invert everything. Good is bad and bad is good. The heroes are really the villains.
Here's one thing to keep in mind, Trinity's name always implied a Trio
For the longest time, myself included, we thought it meant Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity.
In Matrix 4, we see her name actually implies she was kind of the 3rd Integral Anomaly in _this_ simulation:
Neo is the first, Smith is the second, and now Trinity fulfills the third.
It feels like it's all well too planned. Trinity and Smith being kept alive for what purpose? Why even attempt bringing Trinity when at first, The Analyst didn't know she was worth anything? Those two (Trinity and Smith) being brought back seems like a system of control for the first Anomaly.
Trinity can have powers, but Neo was still nerfed. I enjoyed the 4th but I still can't ignore the surface level changes.
Only popular franchise with the nads to give audiences an original approach. Love it. Ppl need to break the conditioning with what they ‘think’ they ‘want’ with predictable sequels that all provide the same results.
Your VO feels like it has a new edge to it since you're back
didn't the writers of the original matrix not want humans as batteries either because it doesn't make much sense?
Sorry, I am going to have to disagree: Neo is the one alongside Mr. Smith since they are one side of the coin. Trinity being a New Main code doesnt take anything away from that. Also, the wokism is still valid, As the focus simply shifted.
Amazing! Thank you.
Neo isn’t the one..he’s the sixth.
Mental gymnastics turned to 11. Lmao
Even the “real world” is a matrix. And the scary part is, as long as mankind is on earth it’s a cycle that’ll never end.
As the oracle said, "make up your own damn mind"
Your videos actually helped me understand much more of the intricacies of the whole sage and made me appreciate the 4th instalment much more than before.
I personally loved Matrix 4 for the movie that it was and all the storylines that were explored. I feel it truly continued the themes that were already established by the first 3 movies (having watched and re-watched each more times than I care to admit). My only "complaint" is that taken as a whole, the entire movie really felt like an extended trailer for a Matrix Universe (just like MCU, DC, Star Wars, or StarGate), but leaves so much up in the air on if there will ever be a possibility for any of the storylines to actually be followed. I dream of such and hope that it happens within my lifetime, but I feel that at this point, even with all the following of the original Matrix, an actual Matrix Universe would just not be able to survive in today's overly critical, over-saturated, market. I can still dream though, and hope this channel helps keep that dream alive!
Amazing as always. Honestly I wouldnt have known almost all of this if it werent for this channel and I've been subbed for years now
Im so glad to see your videos again. It's been a long time wondering if you was ever going to return. 💚
Well done. Welcome back and keep on posting
Not necessary for me the animatrix story Matriculated filled in a lot of the plot for the reloaded film!
@ 5:46 even after realising that the Analist's speech at the motorcycle repair place was a total callback to "Bullet Time", it wowed me because it felt more like System Administrator's superpower. Some music producers (I included) for long love the possibilities of Timestretch and Pitch-shifting, and doing it live and effortlessly is sheer fun, so I imagine The Analist's sick fun torturing Neo...and abhor it.
glad yall came back to offer this deeper reflection on the story, its contex,t and its themes. The things you bring up, as well as your visual presentation of information, really add other dimensions to one's perspective of the story. Fun stuff! Good work!
Watching this video made me want to rewatch Resurrections.
I always believed that the action and particularly the Kung-fu parts of the films were an essential part of the story. Each character had their own combat style that was choreographed appropriately. If Resurrections simply got the Kung fu parts right, that alone would have made a huge difference in my opinion.
The fighting really was kind of sloppy...like I get it that Neo Has been reset and maybe doesn't have all the fighting know how....but all the fights lacked that style they used to have.
Feelings is stronger than Fact ❤
@@orionishi6737 the brother of the director... er i mean sister.. must've been the genius behind the great fight scenes of the trilogy.
@@FractalCodex7 Was this necessary...like you knew....no need to to veil your bigotry. It's still plain as day.
And no, I think it was intentional. It's not like this Neo and Trinity had jiu jitsu downloaded or anything. And to show that disconnect between the polish of the old matrix.
@@orionishi6737 wake up... the matrix has you. 👁
Does the fact that neo has love for trinity, because of the cookie he ate that he got from the oracle, mean that anybody could’ve been ‘the most important one’? It just happens to be trinity because the oracle chose her correct?
You guys are answering the difficult questions.
Sure, but I think Resurrection’s scope could have been larger, it feels most of the movie is around a city block with the coffee shop in the middle of it all. There’s a lack of epic feeling and not mentioning the special fx extravaganza that fans expect to see. What we got was a cheaply made Matrix; that slow motion effect is so bad it’s like they gave up.
Welcome back, Matrix Explained! You were missed..
The biggest problem is that people pretty much ignored the entire narrative of the 2nd and 3rd films. I've heard criticism time and time again about the Architect scene; that it was either nonsense or far too technical for people to understand. It comes down to a lack of care I think, because while it took a few viewings, I followed it fine and I've never considered myself to possess anything but average intelligence.
I loved the first film and love it to this day. There's no question that it is the best in the franchise and perhaps the best period. You can't introduce such a creative and radical concept like that again in subsequent films, but the brilliance of the original was certainly enough for me to invest in the rest of the story, and I'm not sure why more people didn't feel that way.
Never is there a blurrier like between implied Canon and head Canon than with that between if humans are really batteries or if they're parallel processors. Makes far more sense on many levels if the latter. So no, it hasn't always been about emotions generating power.
This is gonna be an uphill battle defending this entry… but it’s going to be entertaining too 🍿 🤓
do we know what they mean by the "inside joke" in the ending of movie about naming trinity tiffany?
I'm so happy y'all are back!!!! Thank you!!
Movie just needed Hugo weaving and Lawrence fishburne playing their roles and someone older and more menacing then neil Patrick Harris. Also needed more Smith.
Is your therapist menacing?
Pretty the Oracle flat out told Neo he wasn't "the One" in the original Matrix installment.
The most misunderstood aspect about the matrix is that ALL ARE THE ONE SOURCE AND THE MAYA MATRIX IS YOUR PHINE GOLDEN MOMMA!
in 1999, i watched it a second and third time at a theater and the last two times we walked out thinking - "she's THE ONE, not Neo." 😁
I thought the movie was interesting. But I didn't have much time to really absorb it. I figured that they were both the one and I kinda thought that awakening the powers for the first time was likely easier than reawakening after losing it all to self doubt. Like it's difficult to take the leap and succeed, but after you have succeeded many times, it's taken for granted and any failure can just shatter confidence. "Maybe I just can't do it anymore... Maybe I was never really doing it in the first place... I'm done... Why bother trying again."
I feel a lot of people that said they didn't like the 4th movie because the action wasn't as good as the first only liked the first movie because of the action sequences alone. For me, the staying power of the first movie is the philosophical concepts. The action scenes, as good as they are, doesn't have the level of rewatchability as the diallogue and concepts in the film. The concepts in the 4th film is what makes it great, not the action.
The movie wasn't that bad when I first saw it. There's always this big misconception that Neo was supposed to be the One when there never was the One to begin with. And personally, I'l okay with that. It doesn't have to be John Wick and it doesn't have to be that way. The Matrix is a very confusing series and that's what I find endearing about it.
I never once got the impression that they were making Trinity the new one. Neo I felt appropriately had diminished powers because his separation from Trinity and his mind needing to be unlocked coincided with her freedom.
I think it’s the most artistic and my favorite matrix.
Please do a video on the relations between matrix and Dark City!!!!
Thank you for checking everyone with facts ✊🏾
Very good analysis
The director is very confused in a lot of things already, Matrix just was a consequence lol
Yup. Dude thinks he's a woman. The Wachowskis went from broyhers to supposed sisters. Men in drag are just that... Men.
Absolutely brilliant thank you very much!
I’m glad you were freed from that Modal you had been in the last 10 months….
