When the Matrix released in theaters nobody had any clue what it was about. It was a total mystery to audiences. Vague teasers and trailers, no explanations. Was a very fun and interesting experience. The Thirteenth Floor, and Dark City were major influences for the Matrix, and Existenz came out in the same year.
part of the reason it was kept quiet was because they knew they had something here that other production companies were going to try to rip them off. It also kept from spoiling the plot which was important for the film to be effective.
Early in the movie Switch calls Neo "Copper Top". Later, Morpheus holds up a Duracell battery after explaining that humans are being used as an energy source for the machines.
Wild thing is what morphius said about how much electric power the human body actually created is factual . Imagine if AI or mankind darkened the skies to block solar power capability to try to stop AI from continueing to produce , the idea of putting mankind in synthetic fluids again and in a “happy simulation” while it uses us for power, “win , win “ for everyone according to AI .

@@MZ-bl6wg The problem is that it takes more energy (in the form of calories) to keep a human alive than you will _ever_ get out of it. That's why the "human batteries" explanation makes no sense. In the original plot, humans were being used as _wetware CPUs_ to run the matrix. In other words, not only were we being kept prisoners inside the Matrix, but we were the CPU that ran it! Of course, _that_ explanation also makes no sense, for a different reason, but I won't go into that. Anyway, executives thought that the audience was too stupid to understand the "wetware CPU" story, so they forced the Wachowskis to change it to the "human batteries" story.
@@SpearM3064 Is the wetware matrix really so implausible, if some of the tasks you think you're doing in your "life" there are also carrying out computations the machines need? One thing we are compared to silicon computers is power *efficient* -- if you measure the cost of computation in energy, not time, we still dominate machines for many computation tasks.
Trixy I can tell you like a little violence. Every time a fight scene was imminent your eyes widen with anticipation and a slightly malevolent grin came to your face I loved it 😁
Some reactors think that the part when Neo slides down the chute and into the water that it's some kind of birth. Idk. Maybe as the start of his new life. The machines saw it simply as him being disconnected from the system, deemed "disposable", and then summarily flushed down the drain. Love the channel!
It's interesting about both the practical and the symbolic of that particular scene. A case where the machines don't know what's really gone on, but the humans do.
12:44 -- We're all damaged Trixy ... We're all stumbling through life in the dark. The lucky ones are those who help each other. Who find a hand that holds and leads..
Yep when it came out "bullet speed" was brand new, cameras circling a stopped or slow motion image just blew our minds! (even when you know how it's done its still amazing!)
I remember watching a special feature when the movie first went to home release where they showed how they did "bullet time," and people were even more in shock as to how it was done. It was the height of visual effects at the time, and nobody knew how to compete with it.
When I watched this movie the first time (on 1999) it was a great surprise, didn't have many hopes realky. But seeing trinity doing that Eagle kick was so amazing.... Great to see young people getting the same sensation of adrenaline and surprise. Thanks for sharing
It really speaks well to the film that it hasn't aged in almost 25 years, except maybe for the presence of flip-phones. That's an incredible accomplishment in an age of unprecedented and exponential technological growth.
@@michaelccozens yes, it happens to me watching this and The Ghost in the Shell. It seems at that precise years phones and that exponencial advance took everyone by surprise😄
18:19 when the oracle checks neo and says " you got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting on something. A next life perhaps?" She literally spoils the ending. At the end he's able to fight pretty well with an agent, but it's not until he is killed, then comes back, that he becomes the One. Ergo the next life.
i love the matrix. for me it is a metaphor for a spiritual awakening where you realize that everything is connected and that you can through your awareness tap into different layers of reality. so the matrix represents our current system and its limitations and negative effect it has on the environment. one layer is to see that we need to change our path in order to live in harmony and balance with the planet. but also there is an all controlling force (like you said) that literally makes up everything in existence. it has many names some call it god, all that is, allah, source, the universe, subtle energy. it is the non physical existing in a higher vibration and frequency than the physical (which according to some teachings is an illusion or a mirror just like time and space are illusions (if you are part of an infinite higher consciousness that is everywhere simoultaneously and outside of time and space)). and so our experience may well just be billions of parallel reality frames through which we shift per second creating our core beliefs the things we mostly believe to be true which we then find represented in our outer reality. just an idea lol
The biggest plot hole that has never been explained to me... Humans can watch their friends on a monitor and track their every movement and every detail around them but the computer actually generating the matrix can't? It makes no sense from any angle you look.
I'm impressed that the "There is no spoon" speech was so meaningful to you the first time your heard it. I couldn't make a single piece of sense out of it first hundred times I heard it.
I love that whenever someone watches this movie for the first time, their first reaction is, “these are not humans”. Then you realize that they are normal humans. The world around them is fake.
I saw a movie once that has some similarities to The Matrix. It's called The Thirteenth Floor. It also deals with switching from virtual reality to actual reality, but it has a different story obviously.
There are quite a lot of movies based on ideas of Philip K. Dick, this is one of them. He said, seriously, in a press conference in his later years (1977 I guess), that we all live inside a computer simulation. This disturbed quite a lot of his friends and colleagues, and later on inspired a lot of SF writers. Maybe he is the grand-godfather of Cyberpunk, who knows, most probably ... His novels, stories, ideas etc. were FAR ahead of their time. Many were later adapted to successful movies, as there are now the technical possibilities with CG. E.g. Inception, Minority Report, Blade Runner, Fatherland, A Scanner Darkly, The Adjustment Bureau, Total Recall, Impostor, Next, Paycheck, Natural City, somehow Open Your Eyes/Vanilla Sky, 12 Monkeys, Videodrome, Pi, The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ... These movies and his novels are for sure worth watching / reading. Visionary. Some are true classics. He died very introverted and lonely due to his mental health struggles, probably schizophrenia, at least psychotic and paranoic episodes, in 1982. His stories therefore are timeless and mainly have topics like reality vs. illusion, altered state of mind, drug effects, paradoxa, individual identity, conspiracies, false memories etc., that due to their nature age really, really well ...
PKD is very influential, but I don't think you could really call him a progenitor of cyberpunk. That's William Gibson. The defining feature of cyberpunk is how it incorporated the PC revolution into sci-fi predictions. Prior to that, computing power was restricted to large corporations. Personal computing meant that power suddenly devolved to the individual. PKD barely lived to see the beginning of that revolution; perhaps if he had lived longer, he would have helped create cyberpunk.
@@michaelccozens Actually, the groundbreaking term "Cyberspace" was introduced in a short story by Gibson that was published the same year that P. K. Dick died, 1982, only five years after Dick's "Matrix" press conference. I would be very, very surprised if Gibson has not been very strongly influenced by PKD that time ...
P.S.: I know that Gibson claimed to only have read "The Man in the High Castle", but he also wrote an introduction to a publishing of PKD's letters in 1974, so he was well aware of him as an SF writer. One could also claim, that there are others, that had more interesting writing styles than Gibson and were similarly genre building, like Stephenson. Gibson references Thomas Pynchon and William S. Burroughs (who was one of my very, very favorite writers) as main influence, but in the whole genre there are many further developed ideas of PKD, so I think there are different opinions of him being a "grandfather" or godfather of Cyperpunk. The genre as a whole owes him a lot ...
@@imcrazedandconfused Influenced, sure. But there's a distinct difference between cyberpunk and the Ballardian sci-fi that preceded it. In the latter, computing power was centralized, hugely expensive, and available only to massive multinational corporations. In the former, computing power is decentralized, far cheaper, and available to at least a substantial fraction of the masses. Cyberpunk's defining feature is the extrapolation of the promises and pitfalls of the PC revolution, as well as the massive networks said revolution made both possible and necessary, ie. "cyberspace".
@@imcrazedandconfused You're welcome to think what you like, but if you're going to challenge what is currently a massive and very solid consensus, you're going to need a lot of reasoning and evidence. As it stands, you haven't really brought any. The one alternative you do suggest, Stephenson, didn't begin writing substantively until a decade after Gibson had established the new genre.
About ten years ago I was trying to contain my excitement as I moved into an Apt. 303. Still live there now with two other people. That's three people in 303. A trinity of residents. Okay, I'm done now... :P
I DOO! it's so scary when that happens, I've had nightmares where I thought i was in real life and there's been times where I've woken up and couldn't tell if I was awake for real for minutes afterwards, it's so weird...
My friends and I went to see this in theaters when we were teenagers. My bass player failed to tell the rest of us that he had dropped 3 hits of acid before hand... He never even made it through the credits before he ran out and spent the rest of the movie in the car, doing God knows what.
If you want to see a Keanu Reeves movie before he did The Matrix trilogy, look for 1991's Point Break, with Patrick Swayze. Keanu plays a newly graduated FBI Agent on the trail of a group of surfers who rob banks. Very good movie.
"This is what happens when you don't pay attention in physics class." OR... this is what happens when you pay too much attention in physics class and learn what to do to bend the laws of the universe. After all, if you don't like the universal constant for gravity, change it. On a much less impactful note, it is good that you have a hard threshold for the number of tentacles with which you are willing to contend.
In Philosophy there is a thought experiment called "the brain-in-a-vat hypothesis" A given person is just a disembodied brain living in a vat of nutrients. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a supercomputer, whose program sends electrical impulses that stimulate the brain in the same way that actual brains are stimulated when perceiving external objects. It's an old idea based on Rene Descartes.
Me too! Wild thing is Elon Musk refrences the Matrix movies sometimes when speaking on the Artificial Intelegance race that’s comming to a close. Between US/Google developed and China. First time I heard it mentioned he asked what put mankind in the simulation in the matrix? Who runs it and created it? Mankind developed AI, AI advances the world faster than we could imagine and at some point justifying saving mankind by sticking us in a simulation AI saves man and continues to advance itself. He said recently he is in process of dismissing production of connecting pods to create a space station he anf his family will live in full time. He always says the rush to create it first and all the important rules and laws we need to implement into it are being rushed. He says within the next 1-2 years it will be operational and how we complete it will determine mankind’s future. It’s not crazy talk anymore , it’s literally being finished.
Fun fact this movie is an allegory for the Trans experience, written by the wachowski sisters while they were closeted (before they transitioned). Which is funny because the whole 'redpilled' thing that Mens rights idiots use a lot is a reference to the matrix.
Fun fact: in the original screenplay the humans were used as human CPUs (processors) because our brains have really high computing capacity (whereas our power creating capability is terrible...youd get more power from a potato or a cow, etc etc). The producers made them to change it to batteries cause they thought that the people would have 0 clue what the human neural network meant (whcih is fair because some people didnt even know what the internet is)
@@ross8884 Looking back it was a bit of a renaissance for Aus film making but none of it could have been possible without Dark City showing we could do it. Then we threw some staff across the pond and NZ made a couple or so decent movies LOL

I saw this in theaters in 1999 with my dad when it was released and every since then I had a dream where I saw myself going through that whole mirror effect and yes in my dream i only had 4 fingers and it terrified me so much I was scared shitless to sleep and eventually I got over it and realized it was just a movie and just a dream but yeah I still have them these days but I know it's all fake and when I do dream like that i wake up laughing...
This movie influenced so many different parts of pop culture and internet culture that its required viewing imho. IT was the first wire-fu/western style action movie. It also was way ahead of sci-fi nerd curve that rules our current world. In 1999 the matrix was considered a movie for nerds... but now it's come to define an entire 20 years of film making. You can see it's influences in the MCU, in other fantasy/sci-films... so many terms and concepts in this film have become staples of memes and video games. It's truly a land mark.
That dream trick about five fingers works for me, but I have five fingers in both hands! My friend lost a finger and hast ghost sensations, but in dreams it is their magic finger and lets them control everything in the dream realm!
I wish the whole franchise had ended with Neo deciding which door to take with the Architect watching. The whole franchise jumped the shark from that point forward.
Good for u Blu watching The Matrix, this is a film that anyone that is a movie fan, has to see and needs to see..it changed movies, so many films would not have happened if Matrix didnt...Enjoy Blu, i have seen this film too many times to count! Follow the White Rabbit and take that Red Pill!!
There are hypotheses based on this movie, not theories. They dont come close to qualifying as theories. It's really just an arbitrary assertion that can't be disproven, so it's no better than the flying spaghetti monster which atheists use as an example of such assertions.
Try watching DARK CITY. A bit darker, but it's truly another 90's gem that needs to be rescued (also, it's got sooo many bits in common with The Matrix you'll wow half of the time!)
The best part of the movie comes after watching it. Over time you realize that it is real, that the real world is how it is told. But it seems you got it right. So take care 🙂
The film takes influence from ideologies like Gnosticism | Gnosis, or Sophism. Animes like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, Classics like Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass. Older films like Total Recall. These come down to either we shape our own reality, reacting to our own interpretations or perceptions, and/or the reality is malleable (or fictional) made by others (or everyone else). Also virtual worlds and things like MMO's were starting to get more exposure very gradually at this time, but they still weren't fully mainstream.
Actually, if you can't tell if you're in a dream or not, try to turn on or off a light. It is impossible to change the ambient lighting of your dreams.
Sorry, urban legend. It is fundamentally impossible to categorically differentiate dreams from reality at the time. Your brain mediates all info received, and REM sleep actively suppresses your ability to tell when something is "off".

Dark City is a fantastic movie.
The Blair Witch Project had a very good marketing campaign in ’99 too. The fake website scared the daylights out of me lmao
The Matrix used the same sets as Dark City for the opening 15 minutes or so, before appropriating more money and filming in... Sydney? proper.
Another film that, conceptually, matches The Matrix, is the noir Dark City. It’s not as well known but a fantastic film nonetheless.
The Matrix also re-used props from Dark City, namely the rooftops in the opening chase/fight

He said recently he is in process of dismissing production of connecting pods to create a space station he anf his family will live in full time. He always says the rush to create it first and all the important rules and laws we need to implement into it are being rushed. He says within the next 1-2 years it will be operational and how we complete it will determine mankind’s future. It’s not crazy talk anymore , it’s literally being finished.
Fun fact this movie is an allegory for the Trans experience, written by the wachowski sisters while they were closeted (before they transitioned). Which is funny because the whole 'redpilled' thing that Mens rights idiots use a lot is a reference to the matrix.
Equilibrium with Christian Bale. Highly recommended.
Gotta love this movie. When it came out The "bullet time" method of shooting a scene was created for this movie.
This movie blew my mind in the theater. Still think and discuss it with friends
16:13 Did you know that this scene was filmed with almost no CGI effects? They were living extras who were simply given the command to freeze.
"what the fuck is happening?". Exactly how all of us felt watching for the first time. Lol...😆
The thumbnail for this video is from Matrix Reloaded.
If you want to know the origin and how it all started you have to watch The Animatrix, its an animated movie explaining it all.
blue is so pretty
Do you have to remove those pins when u wash that shirt?
28:44 those guns are surprisingly accurate if you can hold it still
I like the fact that you are making the right questions.
Fun fact: in the original screenplay the humans were used as human CPUs (processors) because our brains have really high computing capacity (whereas our power creating capability is terrible...youd get more power from a potato or a cow, etc etc). The producers made them to change it to batteries cause they thought that the people would have 0 clue what the human neural network meant (whcih is fair because some people didnt even know what the internet is)
26:40. I worked on the Matrix so it's funny you say it should have been a bank robbery scene, - we shot this in Sydney inside a bank.
wow what a privilege!
@@ross8884 Looking back it was a bit of a renaissance for Aus film making but none of it could have been possible without Dark City showing we could do it.
Then we threw some staff across the pond and NZ made a couple or so decent movies LOL
@@micamojo I remember a couple movies they did in NZ....iirc, it had a bunch of little, elf people or something weird like that. I don’t think it did very well since, as we all know, that kinda stuff is only for geeks & losers. I can’t even remember the name of it right now...
@@micamojo and a couple of actors from Heartbreak High right? Lol I know too much
@@ross8884 I'm convinced that if Ada had not been the white rabbit and Melissa George not been in Dark City then the rebirth of Australian cinema owes Home and Away a beer.
23:58 Yes, Blue, we can feel your anger.....it gives you focus. Makes you stronger....
and my eye is always drawn to 314 above the System Failure message, whereas now I was drawn for the first time to the 303 code below :)
"I'm sure he made it" LOLL! A good thing he did. ;)
I love this movie so much! The Wachowski Sisters are super creative and Keanu Reeves is breathtaking as always 🥰
The brothers were creative. One still might be, "Lana", we'll see with Matrix 4, the other went crazy.
@@ItApproaches rude
@@A2Z83 Not rude, literally truth.
@@ItApproaches nah. False and rude.
If you've not yet seen it Heat (1995) is an excellent crime drama with an absolutely epic bank heist shoot-out scene.
"We all accept the reality with which we are presented."
I saw this in theaters in 1999 with my dad when it was released and every since then I had a dream where I saw myself going through that whole mirror effect and yes in my dream i only had 4 fingers and it terrified me so much I was scared shitless to sleep and eventually I got over it and realized it was just a movie and just a dream but yeah I still have them these days but I know it's all fake and when I do dream like that i wake up laughing...
The Matrix is a masterpiece
Such a classic. It's been a few years, but I think it's aged pretty well. Ironically, better than the sequels which had pretty hideous early VFX.
Some of the effects were ok, like the twins and the freeway scene we're solid
This movie influenced so many different parts of pop culture and internet culture that its required viewing imho. IT was the first wire-fu/western style action movie. It also was way ahead of sci-fi nerd curve that rules our current world. In 1999 the matrix was considered a movie for nerds... but now it's come to define an entire 20 years of film making. You can see it's influences in the MCU, in other fantasy/sci-films... so many terms and concepts in this film have become staples of memes and video games.
It's truly a land mark.
That gag reflex during the pod scene lmfao
I remember seeing this in theaters at 4 years old. Boi was it a ride for my little mind.
.... I was 19, I'm old
That dream trick about five fingers works for me, but I have five fingers in both hands! My friend lost a finger and hast ghost sensations, but in dreams it is their magic finger and lets them control everything in the dream realm!
There is no spoon, which is why we're all "forked"...
How do you REALLY know we’re not all living in the Matrix right now? Can you say for sure that this is truly reality? Kinda bakes your noodle…
To give you further reference to dreams... You should watch *INCEPTION* Staring Leonard Decaprio
The Chinese team that made "Kung fu Hustle" trained the actors for almost 5 years to do this movie.
I wish the whole franchise had ended with Neo deciding which door to take with the Architect watching. The whole franchise jumped the shark from that point forward.
Good for u Blu watching The Matrix, this is a film that anyone that is a movie fan, has to see and needs to see..it changed movies, so many films would not have happened if Matrix didnt...Enjoy Blu, i have seen this film too many times to count! Follow the White Rabbit and take that Red Pill!!
My fave movie trilogy of all time
There are hypotheses based on this movie, not theories. They dont come close to qualifying as theories. It's really just an arbitrary assertion that can't be disproven, so it's no better than the flying spaghetti monster which atheists use as an example of such assertions.
Try watching DARK CITY.
A bit darker, but it's truly another 90's gem that needs to be rescued (also, it's got sooo many bits in common with The Matrix you'll wow half of the time!)
Gosh this movie makes me feel old! I was 6yo when it came out. Totally mindblown!
i dont believe im living in a dream. but what make my brain hurt is: when im dreaming i also believe the same
That's a really cool t-shirt and it goes excellent with your hair. I like the how everything looks in the room too. ✌
The best part of the movie comes after watching it. Over time you realize that it is real, that the real world is how it is told. But it seems you got it right. So take care 🙂
"Jump in trash, story of my life"
Just like me))) 😭
That teddy bear is freaking me out.
N E O = O N E. The One. His room was 101. Trinity's room from the opening scene was 303.
The film takes influence from ideologies like Gnosticism | Gnosis, or Sophism. Animes like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, Classics like Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass. Older films like Total Recall. These come down to either we shape our own reality, reacting to our own interpretations or perceptions, and/or the reality is malleable (or fictional) made by others (or everyone else). Also virtual worlds and things like MMO's were starting to get more exposure very gradually at this time, but they still weren't fully mainstream.
Since you mentioned bank robbery
“Point Break”
1991
With Keanu & Patrick Swayze is a classic and KR’s big breakthrough film
your reaction to the spoon child was the best part
Keanu Reeves gun origins started much earlier with Point Break
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a movie I think you will enjoy Blue.
Well, the universe *is* digital, and even has a "clock speed" (lookup "Planck length" and "Planck time.") Make of that what you will.
Actually, if you can't tell if you're in a dream or not, try to turn on or off a light. It is impossible to change the ambient lighting of your dreams.
Sorry, urban legend. It is fundamentally impossible to categorically differentiate dreams from reality at the time. Your brain mediates all info received, and REM sleep actively suppresses your ability to tell when something is "off".
@@michaelccozens so, you're saying you have never lucid dreamed before.
@@dracoargentum9783 No, I'm saying you haven't either. No - one has. Fundamentally impossible.
@@michaelccozens except I have. Just because you haven't doesn't make things impossible for everyone. Goodbye.
We all live in a yellow submarine... a program within the Matrix.
Just a metaphor for life. Like shedding your skin, and becoming the real you.
True. The explicit metaphor is about a trans person coming to terms with their real identity. The Wachowskis have stated that directly.
@@michaelccozens Yes, but not only about trans people. A lot of Buddhist references, and other eastern philosophies, mixed with a lot of psychology.
I had the DVD box set. Cornell West Explains the philosophy of the matrix. It’s worth checking out.
The Sentinels, are the Agents of the Matrix
when the wachowski brothers were brothers, now they are sisters. matrix change everything
Lol you read my mind at 28:43 Morpheus would be pumped full of bullets. Great reaction to this classic sci fi masterpiece of a film by the way.
I had almost the same reactions as you 22 years ago. I really like you, little one. By the way, we are a virus. Subscribed

@@michaelccozens 😂 exactly
I love the matrix
34:34 - Who hurt you, Blue . . . who hurt you? LOL
🤣🤣🤣
I laughed when Neo was shot once and Blue said "there is no spoon", then he got shot once again and Blue said "Two spoons" :DD
303 was Trinity's room. 101 was Neo's room. Naturally. :)
Neo's Room was 101 because he was a hacker and 101 is a binary code, which means 5 in decimal.
So many people stared at the bear this whole movie haha
Batman can kind of fly-downwards.
