I don't think people realised when they walked into the cinemas over 20 years ago to watch this movie, that they were about to watch a movie that would become an instant classic, timeless.
As a 12 years old kid at this time this movie litteraly changed the vision of the life for me and nearly everything that followed this movie. It was the first time as a kid that i was really questioned about what is the "reality" and what isnt, what is real for me can be different for other....best movie ever
Why would it be hard? Most people who have seen this movie consider it a masterpiece. You’re not special cause you appreciate the movie. It is great tho.
I still remember going to the movies without knowing what the movie was about. I was completely zero-hyped, didn't watch any trailers and was completely clueless about it, someone just said as they invited me to come "It's about a virtual world". And then I left the movie theatre simply FLABBERGASTED and BLOWN AWAY asking what the hell I had just seen. I KNEW I had just watched the best movie of my entire life up to that point. I never got that feeling again.
bro fuck yeah!!!! I was 10 when this came out I sneaked out of another movie to watch this one, one of the best decisions I've ever made. a total mindfuck for a kid
You were moved huh? What moved you and what did the movie move you from inside do you get what l am trying to say they moved your mind is it for the better or worse. I'm just saying those where your words you said it with such conviction but are you aware what's been moved inside you enter-tain-ment. "The matrix is a system and that system is our enemy" And if you are part of the system you are an enemy too but the movie leaves you feeling like you want to be on Neo's side but wait you were an enemy to them before what's changed? What lm saying is you ( l was ) were so invested you forgot yourself you became part of the story only you were moved to be on Neos side but you only need to remember you were on the matrix side whether you knew it or not.
Saw this opening weekend when I was in the 6th grade. This movie has stayed with me since and, at 35 I think this movie is more relevant than it has ever been.
Laurence Fishburne owned this movie. The air of mystery around him and his charisma is enough to keep us hooked. That is what I missed the most in the sequels as well.
@@grogery1570 if Will Smith had played neo it would have ruined the whole franchise, seriously everything he touches becomes less than a meme, his sequels are not even worth watching and in my opinion his deadshot character felt hollow and flat. T he only thing he has done right is the fresh prince the rest is overated trash, like it or not the guy is a comedian not an action movie character.
Fun fact: For the crowd in this scene, the directors hired a huge amount of identical twins and mixed them together to form a crowd. The wachowski siblings wanted to give the scene a sense of deja vu of seeing the same person twice. You can spot a few of them together like a pair of sailors. It also potentially gives away that this is a training program with limited rendering capabilities
I also loved the detail on Morpheus shades in this scene. Mirrors the same in the pill scene: either you're with us (red pill, right eye), or with them (blue pill, left eye).
It is spectacular and the message is ultra clear and poignant. We live amongst these people, how do we bring them in to the sanity fold. Highly interesting facing our current predicaments.
@@imnotsmartbutimdumb Yes, that part is better than most of the movie. Most people don't realise we live in a web of lies, that has been woven around us since birth.
Also notice how everyone in the crowd wears specifically black & white clothing -- businessmen, nuns, sailors. All apart from the woman in the red dress
@@MarcTheMessenger what's there to explain? Take a look at the cast and the costumes. I guess it's to emphasise monochrome, system, black & white, no greys, no nuance etc.
Alpha Male Uprising there’s nothing to explain it’s just like that to make her stand out, if everyone was wearing normal clothing she wouldn’t stand out as much or at all. Black and white are the two standardized colors.
It’s also incredible how symbiotic it is to our world when he says anybody who hasn’t been unplugged is potentially an agent (then proceeds to describe them how terrifying they are). I know many people who have ruined their lives putting their faith and trust in people. That’s exactly it because you shouldn’t trust anybody who isn’t “unplugged” from this world. You risk your life being ruined not following this simple concept. The Matrix metaphorically describes this reality in this simple scene. Greatest movie in human history.
@@daustin8888 Cypher definitely wasn’t an agent. He made a deal with the agents to betray his compatriots in order to leave the wretchedness of the real world, in the hopes of returning to the matrix as an eternally asleep slave. Unbeknownst to him the agents were never going to honor that deal though. They planned to destroy the Nebuchanezzar regardless if Cypher succeeded or not.
@@Luka23567 He wasn't an Agent in a literal sense, but his motives were no different than an Agent: To uphold the illusion of The Matrix and eliminate Zion rebels.
That shot of the policeman as morpheus says "that makes them our enemy." Amazing. "So hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
Yeah this scene is by far the one that makes it more clear, that deep down, this is a political-philosophical film; Sci fi was just the best way they found to deliver that message
Morpheus walking right through the crowd, them parting perfectly around him. Shows how many times he's run the program before. He knows exactly where everyone is going to walk and how to avoid them while looking as cool as possible.
@edntz xels is correct and partly so are you. There is no way Neo's character would have been homosexual, at least in the nineties. Maybe now they might have tried that, given the WEF agenda.
"You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
The system says you must eat meat to survive, when in reality its whats killing you 🙄 the meatrix, are you ready to be unplugged? If not here comes the part where you defend it 🙄
@@gotdisgotdatentertainment1432 i was a on a plant based diet for 7 years and just last November decided to give it up...... tastiest decision of my life lol but i like the taste of beef.... we eat and are eaten and on and on... don't know why I felt the need to say any of this 🤔 anyways have a great day!
@@henrymonroe4300 Hard to believe someone can have fresh fruits and vegetables for 7 years and then say a dead body taste good, have a good day! I have converted many people into going vegan including ex girlfriend's, have a good day 😉
The system tells you being married and having kids will make you happy. If you don't want to ..dont do it. That hard work will make you prosper- it won't. That you can retire happily- most cant afford to retire. Now- which pill do you pick
"Most of these people aren't ready to be unplugged." Which is why all of them are walking in the same direction, while Neo and Morpheus are walking against the grain. Morpheus, smoothly weaves through, while Neo, constantly collides with them, just like he's colliding with the *truth.*
The majority of people who watch this will never see the transgenderedsatanists on screen, will take all the vaccinesbioweapons because the TV said so, and never look up to see the chemtrailsabove... they still think it's an amazing movie, the irony.
Looking back on this scene, it's really cool to identify all the filmmaking/storytelling techniques that went into it. Majority of background actors being twins, all walking in the same direction while Morpheus and Neo walk "upstream" against the grain. Morpheus walks through seamlessly showing us how he is in complete control of this space and has all the knowledge and experience of what he's trying to teach Neo. Neo gets bumped and hit trying to keep up and is easily distracted, he is trying to "keep up" with the bombardment of new information, discovering this new world, different from everything he knew up until being unplugged. You'll also notice that while they are walking, the camera on Neo is handheld, so it's more shaky and jarring, while the camera on Morpheus is either on a dolly or steadicam, much more stable. The attention to detail and emphasis on the little things like these is what makes this such a timeless classic, one my most favourite films I've ever seen.
Also just learn the scenes in the matrix or matrix like worlds were tinted green to give the impression of sicklyness interestingly it also mirrors the green terminals.
Best song in movie history. Clubbed to Death. I once listened to this on repeat for 5 hours on a bus ride. Could not get enough in 2000. Still cannot in 2021.
@@anneblubaugh58 if you watch the sequels, you learn that the Matrix as it exists in the first film is not a utopia, it’s exactly like our world. You wouldn’t want to live in the matrix. The reason for this is that the machines tried to make a utopia, but their need to create mathematical perfection in everything caused huge anomalies in the system as humans are imperfect by nature. The matrix initially failed because the variable of humans’ irrational choices could not be predicted by machines with mathematics, so the future versions instead allowed humans to be miserable and continue with the unfair hierarchical structures that exist in the real world.
Sarbur Gideg maybe to you but to me they are perfect! i only use my phone to communicate... as long as a phone can run whatsapp it can already do more than i need it for... i only do social media or webbrowsing on my pc or tablet because i think ALL PHONES are crap when it comes to that... (small keyboards make me feel like a boomer lmao) TL;DR: nokia is still the best for me personally... which i already said so i don't understand why you would trashtalk
All the extras are perfect. One guy said this movie is so good because all the extras do their job perfectly. Just look at the guy that neo bumps on first or the cop
@@haruchai he is in the 'post Arnie stage' now, when his box office clout is starting to decline and he makes endless sequels. Truth is Matrix was excellent because it was original the rest declined in quality, as they had no idea how to develop it.
This movie wasn't just revolutionary... it was a piece of art that described the world we live in. A call to those of us that knew that the life we were living was not natural... the distractions.. the preoccupatons... to distract us from the system that takes our energy in other ways... through our work.. the sending of our children to fight wars... to protect the dollar hegemony. The two brothers paid dearly for attempting to mask the true nature of this work.
"Most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it." Still relevent today.
The system says you must eat meat to survive, when in reality its whats killing you 🙄 the meatrix, are you ready to be unplugged? If not here comes the part where you defend it 🙄
“Clubbed To Death.” The soundtrack to two of the most impactful moments of my childhood: watching the Matrix with my mom and my first skate video: Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song, Round Two. Rodney Mullen is the definition of poetry in motion; graceful, poignant, and inspirational. There was no other choice but Clubbed to Death to accompany his video part. The Matrix was a cinematic achievement of the late 90’s. The golden broche of 90’s sci-fi cinema. And, the gateway into our bleak present bloated with disinformation people are willing to die for.
Everything from the music, action, and the world building is amazing but the story reminds me of real life since everyone is usually plugged into their phone or computer.
The red dress scene is one of, if not the best scenes in all film. The dialogue is so intense, the score is amazing, and the little details like Morpheus navigating through the crowd while Neo's fumbling around is perfect.
The symbolism of Neo bumping into people walking in one direction, and demonstrating how unpleasant those bumps are. It's showcasing how Neo is refusing to be a drone and go with the flow like almost everyone else.

@Can a swallow swallow? There are many things in science that have a certain understanding, but when the principle of authority exists (Epistemic Authority), it's because science has been intervened, ergo, it disassociates itself from the transcendent fact.
@Lumidelic The man-woman sexist hierarchy has been artificially built by religion, which has used torture and pedophilia, and blocked people psychologically during centuries. "religion has intervened, ergo it dissociates the transcendant fact"...?
@@Gentleman_Orange You have interpreted that I'm in favor of religion for some reason and that happens when we have become used to entering the dualistic dynamics (things that happen when we are victims of social engineering). They have made us believe that traditional religion is an obsolete thought (in which I agree in many respects) and they offered us "modern science" as progressivism and apparently unquestionable (they convinced you that it should not be questioned), however, it's naive to think that this new science doesn't have a certain connection by the same families and occultist lodges. You just have to do a historical revisionism to realize that what you adore is probably what you hate.
Three cool notes: 1. Neo in Greek means “new” 2. Morpheus in Greek mythology was the dream messenger of gods 3. The woman in the red dress is referred to as “femme fatale” in mythology. One of the archetypal types known as a vamp or maneater.
They had a red theme in every movie. Schlindes list was a black and white film with a girl in a red dress in it which seemed weird now I think it's part of the code.
@@byronspears9395 lol the word religion in your quote might be applicable for Abrahamic exclusivist religions only.This movie named MATRIX is actually based on Vedanta,a classic system of spiritual realization in Indian Sanatan culture,which is thousands of years old
Noticed something at 1:31 If you look at Morpheus' glasses reflection, there are always opposites occurring. On the left, you see Smith with the gun pointed at Neo. In the right, you see just Neo. Later on the scenario flips in reverse; left becomes just the gun with no Neo, on the right is Neo with the gun pointed at him. I believe this symbolizes (like the Red and Blue pills), that Neo has the power to choose/change the Outcome.
Two shots are from different angles. In the first one gun cannot be seen in his left(our right) lense, but In the second shot camera moved to the right and now gun appeared, but Neo in other lense dissapeared.
This is a truly insane movie. The level of thought and care out into detailing and explaining such an alien concept to audiences is what really nailed it all. The idea was alien, but still real. Welcome to the Matrix.
The fact that all the extras are in pairs is no accident. It represents the limited processing power of the Nebuchadnezzar’s computer vs that of the Matrix. Less individual character models=less processing power. They’re optimizing, knowing that Neo, like most viewers, won’t even realize. So cool. Also, this not being the Matrix, the green filter is toned down, despite the green scenery.
@@blackvalio4060 yeah, and why go to the immense trouble of finding nothing but twins for a scene that could use entirely random people? Think, my friend.
@@johne.nobody2946 its what the did. Why would you go making expensive practicle effects when you can use cgi but therrs chris nolan making it. Its what the filmmaker wants and here they used twins
@@blackvalio4060 I’m aware it’s what they did, genius, at no point did I suggest CGI was used. I said what I said because your comment seems to suggest the only reasons there are doubles is “they hired twins,” I’m saying, yes, they did, because they wanted to show how the people are doubled to represent the Nebuchadnezzar’s limited processing power and therefore demonstrating a video game-style use of optimization-that’s WHY they went to the trouble of hiring twins. Read the comment again. The fact 4 people agreed with your stupid non-sequitur is worrisome lol.
Because of this scene every time I’m at a walking traffic light and the red turn green,I have the music popping up in my head and pretend to be walking with Morpheus 😂😅

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it." most important monologue in history
And all sheep still stuck in the matrix. I wonder when will people see this movie shows our matrix we were stuck in. Time for humanity to break free. I pray for more to awake.
I saw this in the cinema in 99, and I have seen it dozens of times since. That line still gives me goosebumps: "When you're ready, you won't have to." SO GOOD.
The Movie the Matrix is all about Being Born Again: All that openeth the MATRIX is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. Exodus 34:19 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the MATRIX, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD'S. Exodus 13:12 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3 Matrix Definition: Something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes Form. Come out of the Matrix, Be Born Again.
Genuinely my favorite movie of all time. The other three are cool too, but if they didn’t exist, I wouldn’t care. This first one is the closest to perfection a movie can be. 10/10. Way ahead of its time.
@@Qrec12 Judging by ambassador's avatar he probably thinks the anti vax people are Neo and Morpheus, awake, walking through the crowd maskless to be good little workers and go back to normal ASAP to generate tax dollars for the government. And all the people putting their health above corporate profits and tax dollars are the sheep I guess?
@@payasoinfeliz Morpheus saved Neo from his corporate job, doubt they’re paying taxes anytime soon lol. The sheep are the ones who question nothing and blindly take orders from their overlords. From my perspective, Neo and Morpheus represent the people with a free mind trying to find out the truth. That can include anti-vax people, but in general it represents anyone who doesn’t simply trust their governments, the federal reserve, corporations, big pharma, the fda, celebrities or any person in power telling them what to do just because they told them what to do. It’s good to question things you don’t understand and try to find the truth. Research history and learn how the system works. Once anyone learns how corrupt the system is and how it’s designed to keep you down, how can anyone trust these people again? Most people do understand this, but they decide to take the blue pill instead and not think about it. Few take the red pill.
Its only more relevant because internet allowed the spread of ideas. This concept and the reality of it existed for a very long time. As long as society existed. It's the herding of the mass
The Matrix still holds up even after all these years. I just watched it again last night, and I was still blown away even though I’ve seen it many times. I love it so much, and the trilogy of course.
i like the fact that morpheus wore a beanie just to reduce the shine off his bald head in case the squids shone a light into the cockpit and get a strong reflection ... haha
Also maybe hinting that Morpheus has trained a lot of people in that exact sim and knows it in and out. Neo definitely wasn't the first one he gave that speech to.
When i first heard the matrix in systems of linear equations i was expecting this matrix, but i got numbers in a bracket with different rows and columns
If you notice the people in this scene look similar, that’s because they hired people with actual twins specifically for this scene to give a simulation vibe.
When people watched this movie 20 years ago, no one would have been able to imagine that 20 years later it will describe the reality of the day so perfectly!
It did back then too, this movie is not about technology or evil AI but the invisible chains that keep us oppressed and servant. Most people refuse to believe it and prefer a lie because is easier to swallow.
@@WhoopsieDayZ I can agree to that to an extent, but I'm from a not-so-good neighborhood and profiling was common for me, especially seeing my friends beaten and tazed for fitting descriptions. They don't do much to help when poorer people are involved
@@WhoopsieDayZ Yes I would be here to say this today without cops. This country existed for over 130 years without cops. History has shown we can do just fine without cops. We just need to take full advantage of the Second Amendment and arm ourselves. The risk of doing crime is multiplied exponentially if the entirety of the population is armed. If everyone has a gun, then nobody will commit crimes. Cops are unnecessary.
It's not the woman in the red dress the issue. The issue is with the one looking at her. Check the scene out properly. He asked Neo is he's looking at the woman in the red dress and then says look again. The responsibility is being laid on the one watching, that is Neo. Similarly, you spoke of social media, but who's watching? People like you and others like you. You're feeding the algorithm and letting people know what you desire. You desire the wrong things and hence people adapt to your wrong desires to survive. The same way males desire sex and prostitution in a world where males constant want to touch females with no shame came into existence.
Lol my friend andrew Tate is far from Morpheus, sure he is aware of the zombie state a a huge percentage of people are in, specifically the liberal drones, but he isn’t Morpheus lol. Otherwise I’m friggin Morpheus and tons of awake people are too.
The red dress is truly truly truly symbolic of the illusion. Chase, chase, chase. The illusion. Leave yourself for the illusion. Yourself/your objective. Thank you!
As a bald man myself, I think it's because when we sweat, without any hair, it can run down our face - a hat would stop that. Cos, I guess, he's scared / stressed? Anyway that's one possible reason. Or if they cut all power, is he cold maybe?
This scene is so cool... goes to show how so many of us meander through life... seeking answers that are often times right in front of our faces. If only we weren't so distracted by our own version of the "lady in the red dress", whatever form she may take.
So what "answers" are there that you're so arrogantly convinced you have? The only "answer" is that there are NO answers. Reality is fundamentally incomprehensible, the universe is fundamentally unknowable and completely indifferent, and the only "purpose" of "your" life is to perpetuate itself endlessly, accomplishing absolutely nothing and liable to total annihilation - from asteroids, supernovae, gamma ray bursts - at literally any second. THAT is the world we live in, and no amount of delusional "enlightenment", "acceptance" or "freeing yourself from The Matrix' (lmfao, hilariously childish how people still say that) will make one iota of difference to any of it. You are a meat sack created as a vessel for organic entities to propagate themselves, that only arose by pure coincidence as a result of stars exploding, themselves a result of the sheer coincidence of the universe, reality, or anything at all whatsoever existing in the first place. Don't ever listen to anyone who thinks they've got the "answers" to life. The truth is right there in front of your eyes. Stop thinking, stop imposing your perspective upon the world, and just see it for what it is - a place that happens to exist, a thing that is what it is for reasons that will **never** be possible to elucidate. And yeah, I'm sure some tool will call me a "hypocrite" for seemingly offering an "answer" of mine, but I'm not. I'm not even an entity, I'm just another mass of organic particles deluded into thinking it's some kind of cohesive, singular "being" (or "self", or "spirit", or whatever other nonsensical terminology you want to use). "I'm" just telling you what is flagrantly apparent. Look and see for yourself. Don't think, don't imagine, don't form an opinion or a perspective, just **look**.
As a 12 years old kid at this time this movie litteraly changed the vision of the life for me and nearly everything that followed this movie. It was the first time as a kid that i was really questioned about what is the "reality" and what isnt, what is real for me can be different for other....best movie ever What was even better is the understanding of the meaning of the movie every time i watched it after, years after years, this movie teach me a lot
I love the reflection of Neo in Morpheus' glasses. Foreshadows what is to come. The lens on the left. Neo will be shot. But Neo is renewed on the right lens, with no gun or agent in sight.
God damn I love the foreshadowing here, “What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?” “No, Neo. When you’re ready, you won’t have to.” Act III he literally stops the bullets midair. Script is a masterpiece.
That's not "foreshadowing" exactly, he's literally telling him what will happen. Foreshadowing is more like Smith pointing a gun at Neo. It implies that he's going to kill him, but we don't know it yet as a viewer. It's a symbolic implication of things to come, Morpheus speaking is a literal one.
The perfect blend of philosophy spirituality and action. Its a simple hero story but it manages to explore the illusions that we encounter and must try to overcome in this life in a very creative way!
I must have watched Matrix over a 100 times and I still can't get enough of it. We're the lucky ones, a generation before the penetration of dumbing social media and the consumption ready devices, we got to see and hear ideas that were raw and truthful, we witnessed the technology in its infancy and got to learn it inside out. People of nowadays are hopelessly lost and are fully captured.
Dude, there probably already is one, albeit a bit different from yours, but the scripts never are the problem, it's cold hard cash. None of them are convincing enough to studios to fork out the big $$$
The red dress scene is the most important scene of this movie. How even your closest people can become enemy in a switch to protect their reality{the system}. This is deep! Oh and it's been 20yrs.
I remember I watched this with my dad when I was 12. I remember him saying this was his favorite movie of all time. As a youngster, didn’t understand why. It’s now in my own top five.
I'm pretty sure it's because smith is the benchmark from which all other agents were created, thats why he is always in charge and eventually the one to take control.
A perfect mix and balance of story writing acting cinematography and depth. Un matched and relates to the world we are living in more than many will realise.
I don't think they even need a male version. Everyone in a street dressed in black , and a single person wearing red walking by and staring right at you? That's gonna draw your attention, no matter if you're into girls or not. Alternatively, I bet that Mouse programmed her with some kind of "seduction energy field" to draw newcomers' attention (a la an RPG tank character). Given what we've seen the Matrix do, that's not so far-fetched. Part of the training might be to train red-pills to shield their minds and senses against such baits.
@@DeathMessenger1988 1st paragraph makes sense, not so much 2nd. The whole point of the matrix is a prison that exploits humanity's natural, negative tendencies towards destruction and consumption. In other words, there doesn't need to be some sort of machine AI magic or "energy field." The machines are just creating an environment where humans are naturally comfortable and distracted, mimicking our own man-made, present world. That's the point of the whole matrix concept.
@@blusafe1 And you really think they don't have ways to alter perception and influence the senses and minds of people within the system, specifically in order to trick or control them if needed? If they didn't, you'd have hundreds of people freaking out every time an Agent jacks into someone's body in broad daylight. Remember, the Matrix has Exile Programs who used to be Vampires and Werewolves. Stuff like this isn't so farfetched

For the crowd in this scene, the directors hired a huge amount of identical twins and mixed them together to form a crowd. The wachowski siblings wanted to give the scene a sense of deja vu of seeing the same person twice. You can spot a few of them together like a pair of sailors. It also potentially gives away that this is a training program with limited rendering capabilities
Also gives the illusion of clones. We are all
just clones copying each other just going about unwittingly in our everyday matrix lives.
@@erichramone7812 Yeah well, no, since you are here and you're conscious of the system. It's nothing but a wonderfully intricate metaphor.
I love this fact
Don't tell me what identical human beings are .I play GTA and Fuk the same hore everywhere I go.
Really easy to see in the cut after Morpheus freezes it. This is awesome!
Notice how Morpheus walks through the people smoothly while Neo keeps bumping into them. Great little detail.
Was looking for this comment. Even the camera motion is smooth when focused on Morpheus and rocky when it's on Neo. Fcking brilliant movie.
He knows what they are
"Little detail" lol
No so little, but still great
I also loved the detail on Morpheus shades in this scene. Mirrors the same in the pill scene: either you're with us (red pill, right eye), or with them (blue pill, left eye).
First 45 seconds could be the coolest scene ever... The score, Morpheus' look, voice and plain description of the Matrix is so stylish and cinematic
That sequence is what brings me back to this scene, again and again. Spectacular delivery
It is spectacular and the message is ultra clear and poignant. We live amongst these people, how do we bring them in to the sanity fold. Highly interesting facing our current predicaments.
@@imnotsmartbutimdumb Yes, that part is better than most of the movie. Most people don't realise we live in a web of lies, that has been woven around us since birth.

I like how morpheus just flows through the crowd but neo bumps shoulders with every one
@@MarcTheMessenger yep exactly! and I love it when directors SHOW us details like that about characters instead of lazily just telling us.
@@MarcTheMessenger kinda obvious about neo bumping and morpheus just glides through.
Also notice how everyone in the crowd wears specifically black & white clothing -- businessmen, nuns, sailors. All apart from the woman in the red dress
@@MarcTheMessenger what's there to explain? Take a look at the cast and the costumes. I guess it's to emphasise monochrome, system, black & white, no greys, no nuance etc.
Alpha Male Uprising there’s nothing to explain it’s just like that to make her stand out, if everyone was wearing normal clothing she wouldn’t stand out as much or at all. Black and white are the two standardized colors.
Laurence Fishburne is highly underrated as an actor. He has range and can make you believe in anything he is doing.
Cowboy Curtis approves. Lol
So true. Have you seen him play Othello in the movie Othello? He is truly spectacular.
Even into telling us his daughter didn't do pRon, for fun. 👀
he was good in that chess movie
He was great in Pulp Fiction!
The Agents were already pretty intimidating before this scene, but how Morpheus describes them is flat out terrifying.
It’s also incredible how symbiotic it is to our world when he says anybody who hasn’t been unplugged is potentially an agent (then proceeds to describe them how terrifying they are). I know many people who have ruined their lives putting their faith and trust in people. That’s exactly it because you shouldn’t trust anybody who isn’t “unplugged” from this world. You risk your life being ruined not following this simple concept.
The Matrix metaphorically describes this reality in this simple scene. Greatest movie in human history.
@@Luka23567 Technically Cypher was an agent of the system and he wasn't connected to The Matrix at all.
@@daustin8888 Cypher definitely wasn’t an agent. He made a deal with the agents to betray his compatriots in order to leave the wretchedness of the real world, in the hopes of returning to the matrix as an eternally asleep slave. Unbeknownst to him the agents were never going to honor that deal though. They planned to destroy the Nebuchanezzar regardless if Cypher succeeded or not.
@@Luka23567 He wasn't an Agent in a literal sense, but his motives were no different than an Agent: To uphold the illusion of The Matrix and eliminate Zion rebels.
Except when no main characters in the film are ever killed by Agents.
And Neo and Trinity both kill Agents multiple times in the film.
That shot of the policeman as morpheus says "that makes them our enemy." Amazing. "So hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
There was some subtext to that scene
@divideandconk4755 you're definitely right! If you know then you know.
Yeah this scene is by far the one that makes it more clear, that deep down, this is a political-philosophical film; Sci fi was just the best way they found to deliver that message
@@divideandconk4755Would you explain that?
Facts. 2023 and Americans cops are tyrannical af.
Fun fact. Most of the extras in this scene are twins
The director did that to purposefully give it an unreal feeling
Wow! Thanks for letting us know.
They did it to show that whoever wrote this program was cutting corners. Copy and paste.
@FocusFanatic That's the point dude. Neo didn't notice either. You aren't supposed to notice until you watch it again
If you didn't notice, then you're not ready to be unplugged.
I noticed this in Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. Does that mean Fast and Furious story is all a code? :/
Neo "this isn't the matrix?"
Morpheus "No, it's Google Chrome Incognito"
why did this actually make me laugh out loud
Wow all the tech nerds!!!! Great💨

LMAF FUCK MEEE DAMN
Shiiiit, this hasn't aged well. Google being sued for billions of dollars currently, due to tracking user data in incognito.
Morpheus walking right through the crowd, them parting perfectly around him. Shows how many times he's run the program before. He knows exactly where everyone is going to walk and how to avoid them while looking as cool as possible.
He has mastered lucid dreaming. Matrix within the matrix.
Lies again? Red Rape Replica
yeah ur right and replies are wrong its definitely speedrunning a program he knows and not manipulating the matrix
I actually think he's altering the program so he's the anomaly and they avoid him.

@xels8539She’s also the gateway to reproduction to keep ppl in the matrix. Programmed beauty
@edntz xels is correct and partly so are you. There is no way Neo's character would have been homosexual, at least in the nineties. Maybe now they might have tried that, given the WEF agenda.

"Most of these people aren't ready to be unplugged."

while Neo, constantly collides with them, just like he's colliding with the *truth.*

@@angelssanchezluna2179 huh
Looking back on this scene, it's really cool to identify all the filmmaking/storytelling techniques that went into it. Majority of background actors being twins, all walking in the same direction while Morpheus and Neo walk "upstream" against the grain. Morpheus walks through seamlessly showing us how he is in complete control of this space and has all the knowledge and experience of what he's trying to teach Neo. Neo gets bumped and hit trying to keep up and is easily distracted, he is trying to "keep up" with the bombardment of new information, discovering this new world, different from everything he knew up until being unplugged. You'll also notice that while they are walking, the camera on Neo is handheld, so it's more shaky and jarring, while the camera on Morpheus is either on a dolly or steadicam, much more stable. The attention to detail and emphasis on the little things like these is what makes this such a timeless classic, one my most favourite films I've ever seen.

Yeah but I would choose the matrix over our world of thousands of missing children
@@anneblubaugh58 if you watch the sequels, you learn that the Matrix as it exists in the first film is not a utopia, it’s exactly like our world. You wouldn’t want to live in the matrix. The reason for this is that the machines tried to make a utopia, but their need to create mathematical perfection in everything caused huge anomalies in the system as humans are imperfect by nature. The matrix initially failed because the variable of humans’ irrational choices could not be predicted by machines with mathematics, so the future versions instead allowed humans to be miserable and continue with the unfair hierarchical structures that exist in the real world.
This one and the red pill scene. Glad i've seen them. Did anyone spot Neo's passport? It expired on 9/11/2001, just a coincidence, right?

“Clubbed To Death.”
The soundtrack to two of the most impactful moments of my childhood: watching the Matrix with my mom and my first skate video: Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song, Round Two. Rodney Mullen is the definition of poetry in motion; graceful, poignant, and inspirational. There was no other choice but Clubbed to Death to accompany his video part. The Matrix was a cinematic achievement of the late 90’s. The golden broche of 90’s sci-fi cinema. And, the gateway into our bleak present bloated with disinformation people are willing to die for.
Morpheus and Neo walking around to the beat of Clubbed to Death is some of the greatest shit ever

The Matrix holds up as a brilliant sci-fi epic even today. One of the greatest movies ever made.
Three cool notes:

2. Morpheus in Greek mythology was the dream messenger of gods
3. The woman in the red dress is referred to as “femme fatale” in mythology. One of the archetypal types known as a vamp or maneater.

Noticed something at 1:31 If you look at Morpheus' glasses reflection, there are always opposites occurring. On the left, you see Smith with the gun pointed at Neo. In the right, you see just Neo. Later on the scenario flips in reverse; left becomes just the gun with no Neo, on the right is Neo with the gun pointed at him.
I believe this symbolizes (like the Red and Blue pills), that Neo has the power to choose/change the Outcome.
I thought I saw what you saw, but kept re-watching it and noticed no change.
Two shots are from different angles. In the first one gun cannot be seen in his left(our right) lense, but In the second shot camera moved to the right and now gun appeared, but Neo in other lense dissapeared.
in the glasses you can only see darkness neo and smiths arm/gun. nobody else is actually there.
It’s foreshadowing smith “killing” neo in the abandoned hotel
This is a truly insane movie. The level of thought and care out into detailing and explaining such an alien concept to audiences is what really nailed it all. The idea was alien, but still real. Welcome to the Matrix.
Welcome to the war
The fact that all the extras are in pairs is no accident. It represents the limited processing power of the Nebuchadnezzar’s computer vs that of the Matrix. Less individual character models=less processing power. They’re optimizing, knowing that Neo, like most viewers, won’t even realize. So cool.

@@payasoinfeliz Morpheus saved Neo from his corporate job, doubt they’re paying taxes anytime soon lol. The sheep are the ones who question nothing and blindly take orders from their overlords. From my perspective, Neo and Morpheus represent the people with a free mind trying to find out the truth. That can include anti-vax people, but in general it represents anyone who doesn’t simply trust their governments, the federal reserve, corporations, big pharma, the fda, celebrities or any person in power telling them what to do just because they told them what to do.

Nah, if you think it's good you can't let go of nostalgia.
I have watched it at least 20 times and I am still blown away 😂
i like the fact that morpheus wore a beanie just to reduce the shine off his bald head in case the squids shone a light into the cockpit and get a strong reflection ... haha
Never noticed ha ha !
Lol
Oh. I thought it was just his "going into battle" beanie.
That's cold, even if that happens to be true.
Never noticed how he randomly puts a beanie on lol
0:13 "You look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, a bunch of people dressed in some mix of white and black"
Such a nice touch with Morpheus cruising through the crowds while Neo walks into everyone, reflecting their different experience levels in the Matrix.
Also maybe hinting that Morpheus has trained a lot of people in that exact sim and knows it in and out. Neo definitely wasn't the first one he gave that speech to.
Reproduction is a sin
This movie blew ppl's mind in 1999, it was absolutely beyond words...I feel sorry that nowadays ppl won't experiment something like this.
you dont need to run an experiment, you are living it.
@@sartteeoh boy 🤦🏽♂️
I'm nowaday dude and i' experiencing this movie right now
@@misterboxhead3045 Do I have to explain the comment to you? Please say no
@@Los150 Whats the matter? Did the gatekeepers convince you its just a movie?
Neo: This isn’t the matrix?
Morpheus: No, this is cool math games
This is pong
Thanks, thought it was Orisinal games.
When i first heard the matrix in systems of linear equations i was expecting this matrix, but i got numbers in a bracket with different rows and columns
Over 20 year old film and it still looks amazing, brilliant storytelling
If you notice the people in this scene look similar, that’s because they hired people with actual twins specifically for this scene to give a simulation vibe.
When people watched this movie 20 years ago, no one would have been able to imagine that 20 years later it will describe the reality of the day so perfectly!
2020-2022 was eye opening how blue pilled people are
It did back then too, this movie is not about technology or evil AI but the invisible chains that keep us oppressed and servant.
Most people refuse to believe it and prefer a lie because is easier to swallow.
It's a damn fucking truth
Reproduction is a sin
How lmao tf
“These people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy.” Cue shot of Cop with his boot on someone’s car.
Yeah, fuck the police right? Moron.
@@WhoopsieDayZ biggest organized gang in history in my opinion
@@derekwade1753 Most cops are just normal, everyday people. Without them you wouldn't be there to say this today.
@@WhoopsieDayZ I can agree to that to an extent, but I'm from a not-so-good neighborhood and profiling was common for me, especially seeing my friends beaten and tazed for fitting descriptions. They don't do much to help when poorer people are involved
@@WhoopsieDayZ Yes I would be here to say this today without cops. This country existed for over 130 years without cops. History has shown we can do just fine without cops. We just need to take full advantage of the Second Amendment and arm ourselves. The risk of doing crime is multiplied exponentially if the entirety of the population is armed. If everyone has a gun, then nobody will commit crimes. Cops are unnecessary.
The funny fact is the woman in the red dress is a perfect example of social media in todays society.
As in this program, meaning the downfall of society 🤷
It's not the woman in the red dress the issue. The issue is with the one looking at her. Check the scene out properly. He asked Neo is he's looking at the woman in the red dress and then says look again. The responsibility is being laid on the one watching, that is Neo. Similarly, you spoke of social media, but who's watching? People like you and others like you. You're feeding the algorithm and letting people know what you desire. You desire the wrong things and hence people adapt to your wrong desires to survive. The same way males desire sex and prostitution in a world where males constant want to touch females with no shame came into existence.
😂😂😂😂😂 facts
Huh?!
Coomercracy is attempting to distract every male.
The women in the red dress must be one of the shortest and most iconic roles in movie history
More iconic than "ass to ass" in Requiem for a Dream?
@@robinabernathy2829that scene is horrifying, not funny.
Reproduction is a sin
Damn The Matrix has never looked so clean.
And at the same time it still has all the grit and texture and charm that I loved since I first watched it.
That wasn't the Matrix; it was another simulation program.
In-N-Out 😑
Looks how I remember it, which is probably inaccurate 😅

andrew tate literally is like Morpheus
Lol my friend andrew Tate is far from Morpheus, sure he is aware of the zombie state a a huge percentage of people are in, specifically the liberal drones, but he isn’t Morpheus lol. Otherwise I’m friggin Morpheus and tons of awake people are too.
This movie and clip has never made more sense until now in 2020. Just wow.

woman in the red dress is a distraction and illusion and superficiality of the reality of the world, but most people will fight to defend it.

Yes!!
The red dress is truly truly truly symbolic of the illusion. Chase, chase, chase. The illusion. Leave yourself for the illusion. Yourself/your objective. Thank you!
No COV19 is a distraction from the real problem(s) are!
I love how Morpheus covers his bald head from shining at 3:50
Lmao 😂
As a bald man myself, I think it's because when we sweat, without any hair, it can run down our face - a hat would stop that. Cos, I guess, he's scared / stressed? Anyway that's one possible reason. Or if they cut all power, is he cold maybe?
This scene is so cool... goes to show how so many of us meander through life... seeking answers that are often times right in front of our faces. If only we weren't so distracted by our own version of the "lady in the red dress", whatever form she may take.
So what "answers" are there that you're so arrogantly convinced you have? The only "answer" is that there are NO answers. Reality is fundamentally incomprehensible, the universe is fundamentally unknowable and completely indifferent, and the only "purpose" of "your" life is to perpetuate itself endlessly, accomplishing absolutely nothing and liable to total annihilation - from asteroids, supernovae, gamma ray bursts - at literally any second. THAT is the world we live in, and no amount of delusional "enlightenment", "acceptance" or "freeing yourself from The Matrix' (lmfao, hilariously childish how people still say that) will make one iota of difference to any of it.
You are a meat sack created as a vessel for organic entities to propagate themselves, that only arose by pure coincidence as a result of stars exploding, themselves a result of the sheer coincidence of the universe, reality, or anything at all whatsoever existing in the first place.
Don't ever listen to anyone who thinks they've got the "answers" to life. The truth is right there in front of your eyes. Stop thinking, stop imposing your perspective upon the world, and just see it for what it is - a place that happens to exist, a thing that is what it is for reasons that will **never** be possible to elucidate.
And yeah, I'm sure some tool will call me a "hypocrite" for seemingly offering an "answer" of mine, but I'm not. I'm not even an entity, I'm just another mass of organic particles deluded into thinking it's some kind of cohesive, singular "being" (or "self", or "spirit", or whatever other nonsensical terminology you want to use).
"I'm" just telling you what is flagrantly apparent. Look and see for yourself. Don't think, don't imagine, don't form an opinion or a perspective, just **look**.
She usually takes the form of the red dress hot lady too
If only we weren't so distracted by hoes
@@user-uw1dk4fr5itrue, but she could do without the bulge tbh
As a 12 years old kid at this time this movie litteraly changed the vision of the life for me and nearly everything that followed this movie.
It was the first time as a kid that i was really questioned about what is the "reality" and what isnt, what is real for me can be different for other....best movie ever
What was even better is the understanding of the meaning of the movie every time i watched it after, years after years, this movie teach me a lot
A surefire sign of a good movie is that you notice more and more details the more you watch.
The woman in the red dress is Australian model Fiona Johnson.
I love the reflection of Neo in Morpheus' glasses.
Foreshadows what is to come.
The lens on the left. Neo will be shot. But Neo is renewed on the right lens, with no gun or agent in sight.
fun fact:
the wachowskis actually spent two days scouring people who resembled one another for this scene.
Интереснинг, шо
You mean twins?
+maqz malone
wtf do u mean ? And there are several scenes in the video
Fun fact: 98.765% of facts posted on the internet are fake
These entire scene would’ve been cgi in todays world lol.
God damn I love the foreshadowing here, “What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?” “No, Neo. When you’re ready, you won’t have to.” Act III he literally stops the bullets midair. Script is a masterpiece.
never made that connection before thanks!!
That's not "foreshadowing" exactly, he's literally telling him what will happen. Foreshadowing is more like Smith pointing a gun at Neo. It implies that he's going to kill him, but we don't know it yet as a viewer. It's a symbolic implication of things to come, Morpheus speaking is a literal one.
The perfect blend of philosophy spirituality and action. Its a simple hero story but it manages to explore the illusions that we encounter and must try to overcome in this life in a very creative way!
I must have watched Matrix over a 100 times and I still can't get enough of it. We're the lucky ones, a generation before the penetration of dumbing social media and the consumption ready devices, we got to see and hear ideas that were raw and truthful, we witnessed the technology in its infancy and got to learn it inside out. People of nowadays are hopelessly lost and are fully captured.
You DO realize that the stuff Morpheus is saying could easily be cult indoctrination BS right?
Neo didn't die to save Zion. He went back to the matrix to become John Wick.
Nope he went back to slay some demons as John Constantine then becomes John Wick later.
Then after he stopped the bus he had and excellent adventure
Bro the thought repeatedly crossed my mind
Mans just predicted the future
Yo, wtf??? Go look the matrix 4 trailer, John Wick in the matrix
There have probably been maybe 3-4 times in my life that I was forever changed after leaving a movie theater… The Matrix was one of those moments.
The Matrix is the end result of The Terminator. Wish some inventive screenwriter could finally do a movie connecting these two franchises together.
Dude, there probably already is one, albeit a bit different from yours, but the scripts never are the problem, it's cold hard cash. None of them are convincing enough to studios to fork out the big $$$
No God, Please No, Nooooooo!
I agree. Supposedly the idea both Terminator and the Matrix came from the same writer that the production companies stole the idea from.
Well technically Skynet is defeated in 2029 going by the movies. So this would have to be some dark alternative ending to the Terminator bit.
How? Terminators are there to terminate humanity, or at least the majority. In the matrix, they're more so utilized.
The red dress scene is the most important scene of this movie. How even your closest people can become enemy in a switch to protect their reality{the system}. This is deep! Oh and it's been 20yrs.
Can’t really blame Neo, I’d be looking at the woman in the red dress too.
Weak.
@@chrispy3021 you just need to be more confident bro
I remember I watched this with my dad when I was 12. I remember him saying this was his favorite movie of all time. As a youngster, didn’t understand why. It’s now in my own top five.
I like how Smith is the default Agent for training programme
Practically Smith is everywhere rather than the other agents which way slower to spring to action
yeah because he is most annoying agent
@Mathew Krane he was faking politeness
I'm pretty sure it's because smith is the benchmark from which all other agents were created, thats why he is always in charge and eventually the one to take control.

A perfect mix and balance of story writing acting cinematography and depth. Un matched and relates to the world we are living in more than many will realise.

"'The Matrix' isn't a movie...it's a documentary." - Dr. Bruce Lipton
Jeez
**Morpheus training trinity**
Morpheus: "Are you listening to me trinity?
Or were you looking at the man in a red suit"
It wasn't a red suit. It was a bloods gang member,women love them thugs.
I don't think they even need a male version. Everyone in a street dressed in black , and a single person wearing red walking by and staring right at you? That's gonna draw your attention, no matter if you're into girls or not.
Alternatively, I bet that Mouse programmed her with some kind of "seduction energy field" to draw newcomers' attention (a la an RPG tank character). Given what we've seen the Matrix do, that's not so far-fetched. Part of the training might be to train red-pills to shield their minds and senses against such baits.
@@DeathMessenger1988 1st paragraph makes sense, not so much 2nd. The whole point of the matrix is a prison that exploits humanity's natural, negative tendencies towards destruction and consumption. In other words, there doesn't need to be some sort of machine AI magic or "energy field." The machines are just creating an environment where humans are naturally comfortable and distracted, mimicking our own man-made, present world. That's the point of the whole matrix concept.
@@blusafe1
And you really think they don't have ways to alter perception and influence the senses and minds of people within the system, specifically in order to trick or control them if needed? If they didn't, you'd have hundreds of people freaking out every time an Agent jacks into someone's body in broad daylight. Remember, the Matrix has Exile Programs who used to be Vampires and Werewolves. Stuff like this isn't so farfetched

Neo: This isn’t the matrix?
Morpheus: No, this is Martin Place in Sydney before lockdown.
