As long as you remember that you are no better or worse than anyone else. People are simply in different stages of development. But we are all inherently perfect.
"But we are all inherently perfect." We were at the Garden (of Eden), now we have been corrupted by sins. _Romans_ 3:23 Without Jesus we will be destroyed at the end of our lives or troughout it... Better seek Him while we are alive, bros.
I felt exactly like this walking out after the last day of a job I fucking hated. I felt 100 pounds lighter, I probably could have flown away if I tried hard enough.
This ending means so much more than people realize. It's about you, yourself, as an individual breaking thru the wall you've raised up for yourself and finally seeing your truest potential. You can do, feel, think so much more than you're led to believe. Its about beating anxiety, self doubt, and fear inside you keeping you from becoming the person you're are meant to be. It didn't need sequels or a continuation. In fact the movies that came after just strays further from the real message.
Its about realizing the illusion we live in. Realizing that we control whatever energy we put out into the world and we control our energy, hence we control our emotional states. It may require you to shift your core values, which causes an entire shift in ones reality. Many ppl will experience a DMT like psychosis. Some ppl never recover.
RATM is perfect for the themes of this movie. I mean, most of their work is about resisting authority and the 'system' that the Matrix is a metaphor for. Literally perfect choice.
Yup, RATM are the epitome of anti establishment revolutionary lyricism and have the most badass riffs of all time. The Wachowski's could not pick a better band to represent their film.
Steelbreeze420 That's what the sequel explore more of. The system crashes and reboots and we start over again. I saw a funny meme the other day that said in ten million years, people will read Harry Potter and think the events really happened and start wars over it. Neo may be the one, but he's still part of the cycle of human nature and belief.
If there was ever a movie that didn't need any sequels it's this one. It was perfectly self-contained and had a great ending. This is the only Matrix movie in my mind.
And the sequels do not follow the end of the original movie neither the plot. Rage against the machine. They are the enemy. He (in the Matrix) threatens the fucking machine to show the people a world without them, where anything is possible. And then he goes and flies to the sky!! Incredible. Best part of the movie.
This movie is cinematic nirvana. The ending is so awe-inspiring and promises so much for the future of movies going into the 2000s. I remember this was the first time flying looked legit in a movie, and it's brilliant to save one of your best effects for the final shot.

This is when the Matrix ended for me. This scene. There are no sequels. There may be movies which used the name to make money, but this is when the Matrix ended.
You're obviOusly like most of the zombies out there... THIS FILM WAS PERFECT, IN THE BEST TIME, 1999, THE END OF 20TH CENTURY AFTER THAT, things began shutting down, and the Zombies started to come out!
It was awesome. The action scenes (first to use bullet time”), the kernel of that idea that everything is unreal… it was beautiful. It was ruined by the sequels. But this one is a masterpiece
One of the greatest ending shots ever. Look at that pan and the coreography of the extras. And the little smirk as he stares at the audience right before looking up. Absolutely phenomenal.
Based on the dates and times on the screen at the beginning and end of the movie, we know that the events of the Matrix took place over a period of 1 Year, 7 months, 10 hours and 52 minutes.
I remember watching this in the theater with my friends. When this song started playing, we popped HARD. Needless to say, we stayed until the end of the credits.
This movie is epic... Cartesianism, Platonism, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Christianity, simulation and hyperreality, so many philosophies and concepts that combined with an original plot and pioneering cinematography could not fail to entertain as well as make us ponder the same questions that philosophers and religious figures have grappled with for centuries and for that I will always be grateful to the Wachowskis.
I still get the same chills watching this scene as I did the first time seeing it. When I first saw it Neo flying wasn't even a thing I'd consider, but as it zoomed out and I heard the sound barrier breaking and then saw a black figure I was like "No F**KING WAY?! WHAT?!" and it still gets me. Perfect Film.
Still gives me goosebumps, after all these years!! I remember that we were all watching it as a family, and we all chuckled at that last bit. My Mom: (Smiling) "Oh wow, he can fly now?" (Laughter from all of us)
"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you.".
EPIC on so many levels it just blows the mind. Not only artisticly but also on a socio-economic scale. This timeless classic is THE call the think for yourself and stay educated. Don’t follow the heard blindly but keep asking YOURSELF validate questions about what’s happening around you / to you. Me? I would (did) take the Red Pill any day of the week!
I've watched The Matrix stoned, sober, drunk, child, teenage, adult. I think watching this clip back is the first time I've appreciate not just the magnitude and music, but the subtlety of Keanu's acting here. The way his eyes move about the crowd when he leaves the phone booth. "You people are nothing now, you know you're nothing, but I hope you can be saved. And oh yeah, shit, are my meant to be the one to do it?" Brilliant.
Hard to believe this was over 20 years ago. Loved this trilogy so much. Just watched the new matrix4 . It doesnt even come close to the epicness of the originals. Not by a long shot.
@@mex0nn yeah there was some cool scenes. Its not a movie you could watch without seeing the originals.alot of the time when they make a new movie from movies made 20 years ago they make the new movie a stand alone mivie meaning you can watch that movie and understand it without having to watch the original movies it was based on. That is not the case with this matrix 4 . If you havent seen the originals your going to struggle keeping up with the plot.
I still get chills hearing this. This is absolutely incredible. From start to finish this movie still just hits so goddamn hard. Life would have been ass to get yanked out of the matrix but this right here made it all worth it if it were possible.
When this movie came out in ‘99, there was a choice to watch between The Phantom Menace (Blue Pill) and The Matrix (Red Pill). I went for The Matrix and the rest was history
Even Star Wars fans were throwing up the middle finger at the Phantom already, but besides that... The Matrix just came out of nowhere. There were so many long-overdue themes of neo-sci-fi all wrapped into one digestible package, yet these are all still relevant themes today. Do you choose escapism, or what is real? How close can machines come to emulating reality? (Given recent AI advancements, pretty close) Who is in charge?
Came here immediately after watching: matrix 4 the parodies! 1 minute and 30 seconds of original matrix were enough to heal my depression after watching the new movie! Aaaah 2000. How much i miss you and your GREAT movies
The way I see it there's two ways you can look at this ending. For the people who can't stand sequels, him saying "Showing a world without you" and "Where we go from here is the choice I leave to you" Can be interpreted as him speaking to the audience saying, where the story of The Matrix goes is left up to your imagination, you can think of the possibilities for yourself ... Or you could look at it as this is only the beginning of this story, of things to come, and that there are many hints towards where it all goes in the future films e.g. when it says WARNING: Carrier anomaly, Neo's life being the eventuality of an anomaly, and Smith talking about the matrix being redesigned to be a perfect world (In this movie). That's the genius of this ending, if you want to know where the story goes, then start speculating, if you don't like sequels then let your imagination fly. Thank you Wachowski's for giving the audience credit and letting us decide things for ourselves with our own interpretations of your story, you are truly genius film makers and talented Sci-Fi storytellers, with shit loads of style!
They kind of had to make this sort of ending, they wanted to make a trilogy but would have had to stop there hadn't the first movie worked so well. It offers good closure if they can't make sequels, but also serves as a good transition to the other movies. It's like Star Wars : A New Hope. The Death Star is destroyed and the rebels win this battle, there's the ceremony at the end and everyone's happy. The whole thing could end right there if there's no money to keep it going. But Luke still isn't a jedi, The Empire is still omnipresent, Vader and Sidious are alive and well, the rebels are still repressed. These open endings are compulsory for directors who wish to make a series of movies but can't say if finances will follow, to stop whenever they need to stop if they really have to. Peter Jackson is the only director I know of who actually signed a contract for 3 consecutive big budget movies which is why LOTR endings in the first 2 movies don't resolve anything and only hint at how the story will progress.
I interpreted it in a different way. He's talking to the matrix. He's saying that when he puts down the phone, he's going to reveal to the world that the matrix exists, and he does that by flying in public. It is up to the machines to respond to that, maybe they can negotiate. The green text is supposed to be the machines trying to track down his call but failing. This ending would have stood as a good ending, if there were no sequels.
I watched this in the cinema back in the day , and this is the best end of a movie sequence I can remember , you literally strutted out of the cinema if you stayed and watched it all, felt absolutely amazing
Evangalex at @0:55 if you look closely to the right of the traffic light, you can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge!! This scene was shot on the corner of Pitt Street and Hunter Street just a block up from Martin Place.
Just saw the 20th anniversary re-release a week or so ago. Never saw this film in the cinema first time around, but seeing this scene for the first time must have been the coolest thing ever. Absolutely awesome.
He’s speaking to the system. The matrix. He’s telling them what’s going to happen next. Basically how he’s going to free all the humans who are slaves to the matrix and the system being used as human batteries. Neo was killed in the matrix and Morpheus told him if you die in the matrix, you did in real life. But when Neo was killed, he was able to reject the perceived rules of the matrix and after trinity kissed him the physical touch made him realise he was still alive and simply woke back up, demonstrating he is The One. Morpheus couldn’t believe it. The matrix tries to trace the call so the agents can come but by this point he’s so powerful he simply jams the trace. Him flying off in the end just demonstrates how much power Neo has and has set himself free from the rules of the matrix and now anything is possible. For me it’s a message about self belief and mental strength.
You might be able to do just that in the fall of 2021. Theaters are in need of business but not enough movies due to Covid. They are already re-releasing old blockbusters!
It was pretty 🔥! I was only 14 but this movie blew me away! Just finished it on hbo Max last night. Watching Reloaded next. I’m so excited for the 4th!
The message that Neo says in the end of this movie has become more relevant and more important in our world more than ever. A call to action is now needed more then ever thought possible, if we want our world to become a better place we can’t just sit by expecting to be done by others, instead if we truly want change we have to be the ones to do it ourselves!

Cartesianism, Platonism, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Christianity, simulation and hyperreality, so many philosophies and concepts that combined with an original plot and pioneering cinematography could not fail to entertain as well as make us ponder the same questions that philosophers and religious figures have grappled with for centuries and for that I will always be grateful to the Wachowskis.
I still get the same chills watching this scene as I did the first time seeing it. When I first saw it Neo flying wasn't even a thing I'd consider, but as it zoomed out and I heard the sound barrier breaking and then saw a black figure I was like "No F**KING WAY?! WHAT?!" and it still gets me. Perfect Film.
One of the things I love about The Matrix: This call at the end is made on my birthday, 9-18-1999
+blarghinatelazer two days before mine haha
+blarghinatelazer You are one lucky son of a...
+Jackie Chan not that lucky, he's a millennial and most people automatically see him as a douchebag for it. Hopefully he's not
Afrobe Bryant I like to think I'm not a douchebag. I just hope most other people think so as well. XD
Neo is born on my birthday 9/13
This is one of the best endings to a movie. The music used in all of the matrix movies is unreal!
The way the song drops and the "Wachowski brothers writing enters in credit" idk always gives me the chills 1:30
More than 20 years ago, and still got the chills
It was fucking badass then... and it's fucking badass now.
Badass FOREVER.
One of if not the GOAT of movie ending scenes.
Still gives me goosebumps, after all these years!!
I remember that we were all watching it as a family, and we all chuckled at that last bit.
My Mom: (Smiling) "Oh wow, he can fly now?"
(Laughter from all of us)
"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you.".
EPIC on so many levels it just blows the mind. Not only artisticly but also on a socio-economic scale. This timeless classic is THE call the think for yourself and stay educated. Don’t follow the heard blindly but keep asking YOURSELF validate questions about what’s happening around you / to you. Me? I would (did) take the Red Pill any day of the week!
"C'MON!!"
I've watched The Matrix stoned, sober, drunk, child, teenage, adult. I think watching this clip back is the first time I've appreciate not just the magnitude and music, but the subtlety of Keanu's acting here. The way his eyes move about the crowd when he leaves the phone booth. "You people are nothing now, you know you're nothing, but I hope you can be saved. And oh yeah, shit, are my meant to be the one to do it?" Brilliant.
best ending scene ever in all movies in the history
Hard to believe this was over 20 years ago. Loved this trilogy so much. Just watched the new matrix4 . It doesnt even come close to the epicness of the originals. Not by a long shot.
Yeah unfortunately :(, i liked the action scenes tho they were a lot of fun
@@mex0nn yeah there was some cool scenes. Its not a movie you could watch without seeing the originals.alot of the time when they make a new movie from movies made 20 years ago they make the new movie a stand alone mivie meaning you can watch that movie and understand it without having to watch the original movies it was based on. That is not the case with this matrix 4 . If you havent seen the originals your going to struggle keeping up with the plot.
I still get chills hearing this. This is absolutely incredible. From start to finish this movie still just hits so goddamn hard. Life would have been ass to get yanked out of the matrix but this right here made it all worth it if it were possible.
When this movie came out in ‘99, there was a choice to watch between The Phantom Menace (Blue Pill) and The Matrix (Red Pill). I went for The Matrix and the rest was history
you made the right choice
I took both!😵😅
@AlexTheUnknown90 lol
Even Star Wars fans were throwing up the middle finger at the Phantom already, but besides that... The Matrix just came out of nowhere.
There were so many long-overdue themes of neo-sci-fi all wrapped into one digestible package, yet these are all still relevant themes today.
Do you choose escapism, or what is real? How close can machines come to emulating reality? (Given recent AI advancements, pretty close) Who is in charge?
Both were red pills.
This is The Best Movie Ending Ever Made!!
Tyler Durden Agreed....sir
Yours was pretty on par tho.
Or Saw 1
@Imagin0s Iron Man, Batman Beg., Matrix... All perfect Origins!
fight club,they live and a few more
Might just be the greatest ending to a film of all time! Still get chills seeing this after all these years.
He walk out of the pay phone post like he is superman. I guess he is... That's the point of the scene!
+Travis NEWgod Yep, both Superman and Neo are Ubermensch.
Oh wow I saw this in 1999 at the movies, I never got the superman reference until just now! THanks man
Saw this movie so many times and just got it when I finished watching it ...Lol!!!
That’s the little smirk at the end for I think 😂
Never caught that! Hell yea bruh bruh
Badass level of this ending: 99999999999999999
Came here immediately after watching: matrix 4 the parodies! 1 minute and 30 seconds of original matrix were enough to heal my depression after watching the new movie! Aaaah 2000. How much i miss you and your GREAT movies
Wake up ... September 18 1999, The Wachowski's are one step ahead of humanity.
Have you ever heard about George Orwell? you should
Even though The Matrix is years behind the genius of Ghost in the Shell
ghost in the what
who is he?
Lol nope.
favorite movie ending:
1. matrix - ratm
2. bourne supremacy - moby
Yeah, and I like the Transformers - Linkin Park too... I liked the ending most than the movie lol
Tropic Thunder - Ludikrus
Heat (moby also!)
Power Station we fight for love in Commando
In the City in The Warriors
Kill bill 1 the Lonely Shepherd
Kill bill 2 malagueña salerosa
Fight club where is my mind
I would add to my goat movie endings
That "C'MON!" puts me in a good mood every time
The way I see it there's two ways you can look at this ending. For the people who can't stand sequels, him saying "Showing a world without you" and "Where we go from here is the choice I leave to you" Can be interpreted as him speaking to the audience saying, where the story of The Matrix goes is left up to your imagination, you can think of the possibilities for yourself ...
Or you could look at it as this is only the beginning of this story, of things to come, and that there are many hints towards where it all goes in the future films e.g. when it says WARNING: Carrier anomaly, Neo's life being the eventuality of an anomaly, and Smith talking about the matrix being redesigned to be a perfect world (In this movie).
That's the genius of this ending, if you want to know where the story goes, then start speculating, if you don't like sequels then let your imagination fly. Thank you Wachowski's for giving the audience credit and letting us decide things for ourselves with our own interpretations of your story, you are truly genius film makers and talented Sci-Fi storytellers, with shit loads of style!
***** Oh yeah completely agree! :)
They kind of had to make this sort of ending, they wanted to make a trilogy but would have had to stop there hadn't the first movie worked so well. It offers good closure if they can't make sequels, but also serves as a good transition to the other movies.
It's like Star Wars : A New Hope. The Death Star is destroyed and the rebels win this battle, there's the ceremony at the end and everyone's happy. The whole thing could end right there if there's no money to keep it going. But Luke still isn't a jedi, The Empire is still omnipresent, Vader and Sidious are alive and well, the rebels are still repressed.
These open endings are compulsory for directors who wish to make a series of movies but can't say if finances will follow, to stop whenever they need to stop if they really have to.
Peter Jackson is the only director I know of who actually signed a contract for 3 consecutive big budget movies which is why LOTR endings in the first 2 movies don't resolve anything and only hint at how the story will progress.
Patrick Ward That's actually a cool way to interpret the ending.
Your comment goes to show that this movie could have unlimited interpretations, even about the continuation of the film series itself.
I interpreted it in a different way. He's talking to the matrix. He's saying that when he puts down the phone, he's going to reveal to the world that the matrix exists, and he does that by flying in public. It is up to the machines to respond to that, maybe they can negotiate. The green text is supposed to be the machines trying to track down his call but failing. This ending would have stood as a good ending, if there were no sequels.
This ending still rings true today. One will stand against all. And he shall be remembered.
I watched this in the cinema back in the day , and this is the best end of a movie sequence I can remember , you literally strutted out of the cinema if you stayed and watched it all, felt absolutely amazing
Hanging up the phone in my mind is like clocking out of work on a Friday and enjoying the rest of a good weekend.
Love this ending. Beast song and was shot in Sydney Australia CBD Martin Place.
Evangalex at @0:55 if you look closely to the right of the traffic light, you can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge!! This scene was shot on the corner of Pitt Street and Hunter Street just a block up from Martin Place.
I’m glad I grew up with awesome movies like this!
Yes I mean look at most movies that come out in theaters today. Half of the films that come out today push “the message”
What a perfect song to end it.. couldn’t pick a better one
Just saw the 20th anniversary re-release a week or so ago. Never saw this film in the cinema first time around, but seeing this scene for the first time must have been the coolest thing ever. Absolutely awesome.
This as a whole was way ahead of its time. Movie still holds up today.
Who was NEO talking to on the phone?
He’s speaking to the system. The matrix. He’s telling them what’s going to happen next. Basically how he’s going to free all the humans who are slaves to the matrix and the system being used as human batteries.
Neo was killed in the matrix and Morpheus told him if you die in the matrix, you did in real life. But when Neo was killed, he was able to reject the perceived rules of the matrix and after trinity kissed him the physical touch made him realise he was still alive and simply woke back up, demonstrating he is The One. Morpheus couldn’t believe it.
The matrix tries to trace the call so the agents can come but by this point he’s so powerful he simply jams the trace.
Him flying off in the end just demonstrates how much power Neo has and has set himself free from the rules of the matrix and now anything is possible.
For me it’s a message about self belief and mental strength.
@@poorchristopher15the machines
If u look up the word "badass" on the dictionary it says "The matrix" .... Keanu was so cool here ! Hot as hell !!!!
Still one of the best scenes ever. Genius idea to have the scene in slightly slow-motion.
Man I don't think The Matrix would have been as big as it is if Will Smith would have played Neo. I don't see him pulling this dope ass walk out
Actually ,Will is a lame bluepiller
I went back right here at this video after finished watching the matrix resurrections :)
At the end of this movie, Neo stopped believing. He just knew
There’s never been a year in human history where this song was as applicable as it is to the year 2020.
Wish I had a time machine, so I could go back in time and watch this in cinema. Must be fucking awesome.
I can't wait to see you again in part 4😍😍😍
You might be able to do just that in the fall of 2021. Theaters are in need of business but not enough movies due to Covid. They are already re-releasing old blockbusters!
It was pretty 🔥! I was only 14 but this movie blew me away! Just finished it on hbo Max last night. Watching Reloaded next. I’m so excited for the 4th!
0:54 when i first saw matrix this just knock me down it is my favorite band and my favourite song that was a hell of a suprise at the end
The message that Neo says in the end of this movie has become more relevant and more important in our world more than ever. A call to action is now needed more then ever thought possible, if we want our world to become a better place we can’t just sit by expecting to be done by others, instead if we truly want change we have to be the ones to do it ourselves!
this was the perfect ending, we did not need all the other movies
