Far from offended, just confused. No worries though.

With the advent of AI, you gotta make a remake of this. I just got this video recommended and it's something I've been thinking about for a while. The title is perfect.
We're living in a freak mix of The Matrix, They Live, 1984, while steadily turning into Idiocracy.
I want to laugh at that but I think I'll cry.
Yeah, there's so many movies pointing at the issue, the list is huge!
It goes way back to a time before movies too, like Plato's - The Cave....it seems it's a story as old as time, a neverending story, one might say.
And it's not going anywhere.....
@@paulcurran4786 odd to think. But what if we just never learn. A never ending cycle, some with memories of it try to warn us of not going down the path of computers.
Yet the idea of technology always intrigues us as humans to push further, discover more. Only leading to greed, lethargic behavior, and unfortunately our own demise.
However even things like movies that could be used to instill this warning, drive us to fulfill that urge even more.
Who knows
@@TerraFilmTV Yeah, i wasn't really talking about computers/technology. I see those as only the modern day backdrop that the Wachowskie's used to get their point across.
There was no computers/technology in Plato's allegory of the cave, or in the other 3 movies @BSIII mentioned.
The computer/technology issue is only a symptom of the greater problem......
Absolutely, evolution at its finest 😐 the worst part is that at least a 4th of the worlds population knows that, one way or another, and still going with the flow
kids today have no idea how life was pre internet. It was fun as hell doing things. exploring outside, getting into mischief.
Making Dens, Dams, fires, rope swings, riding bikes. I was born in 85 and was almost like a pet. 😂😂
My mum would open the door and I'd be gone all day long, Miles and miles from home. Only went back as darkness fell or i was hungry, whichever came first
@@JustDaniel6764 "was almost like a pet" ultimate kid life!
@@karenvanv3017 I sometimes wonder if today is any more dangerous than it used to be back then. I was out the door (Usually kicked) 😂 At like 10am, I wouldn't return all day long, No phone no way of contact and it seemed no worries.
All my pals we're the same it was totally normal. If my mum did want me home she'd stand on the doorstep and shriek.
DAAAAaaaaannnnniiEEEEELlllllL.
I dont know how far that womans voice would carry but I'd hear it faintly and be like
"Lads I've gotta go my mums gonna kill me"
Picked up my BMX and home I'd go.

@@JustDaniel6764 that image was perfectly joyful :) i was born in 83 and regularly found hills to roll down and am amazed to this day how I would go on long hikes through the hills completely alone.
@@pliktl We were lucky, looking back.
The craziest thing about the Matrix is, its not aging like you’d expect. I watch it and it honestly blows my mind that it was made before y2k. It just doesn’t seem that old to me for some reason, even though i know it is.
Uuum Phantom menace was also 1999 , vfx wise they're both crazy story wise Phantom menace is obviously meh
Think about Terminator 2 - it's shot in 1991 and still looks better than most Movies from the last two decades
The orangutan in rise of the planet of the apes (2011) is the best cgi imo. Nothing has ever looked that real

@@user-eg4uf2iy2r dropped your tin foil hat, sir
The fact this randomly went viral supports the matrix theory further
I have grown up with Sci-Fi and Dystopian movies. The one thing I take away from them is that they were intended as a warning, not as a blueprint for Corporations and Governments to say "Hey, this is a GREAT idea! Let's DO this!"

This just came up in my feed, too . Good to see you here 👍.
The jetsons turned into the jacksons, welfare has proven to be a scourge on all society’s. Who’s going to improve when they can lay about while drawing cheques taken from taxes of actual working poor 🤨
Good documentary, but would have been better if it would have explored Philip K. Dick, the man behind the Matrix and the man behind Baudriliard ideas in the first place!
There must be so much high, broadcast quality content out there languishing
I was today years old when I found out Andy Warhol single-handedly invented Mukbang….
The storytelling, background music, B rolls, and the overall pace of the video, are simply phenomenal. Glad the algorithm suggested this to me, havent seen videos like these in a long time, was even better than the latest ColdFusion videos.
Wow thats so much for the compliment! Coldfusion is a huge channel would love to be 1/4 that size
The Matrix showed us how to fight the corporate oligarchy by buying Nokia phones, Duracell batteries, and Ducati motorcycles.
Duracell are great batteries.
Ah well starting with that timeless promotion of the wheel and fire.. Guess product placement will always remain what ultimately puts FOOD ON THE TABLE! 🍔
which inturn allows food for thought. 👶
Same reason the 4th movie taught us that making video games will get you the same result
Really?
Now we know that not all that glitters is gold 🎉
Andy Warhol saying in front of a camera that he ate a hamburger predicted the TikTok generation.
Dude was doing mukbang in the 80s
I'm Andy Warhol and this is running on empty, food review!
Minor point... you point to 1988's Akira as the breakthrough in violent animation but one could argue that it was the film Heavy Metal, which was popular in 1981!
I'm 61 years of age and still haven't watched the movie The Matrix. I really enjoyed your synopsis and may one of these days hit the watch button thanks.
You don’t know what your missing. Don’t waste anymore time…
Great flick - sequels aren't that great, has some pretty good wire-fu fight scenes, though.
Must watch list no1
only bother with the first one
When you watch it so much is going to make sense for you.
It was 1999 and I was almost in a state of shock when I came out of theatre. A very unique idea conveyod to us in form of a film.
That feeling of, what is reality was a new sensation
I walked out confused. Had to watch it a second time to get the premise.
confused was Tenet....@@urukadooedwards7637
Not unique at all, unless you are totally unfamiliar with the general take of most philosophy, religion, and the underlying psychological origin of the susceptibility to conspiracy theories.
By two brothers who are now both women. Amazing.
Seeing this as a child was like "Wow so cool". Seeing it again when I was older "What how did they allow this movie?".
I thought I was the only one. But always make the joke that The Matrix is my favourite documentary.
The best way to hide a wicked truth is to hide it in plain sight.
“They” made the bloody thing
Look at the usd the united states Dollar! It hides truth in plain site. They may have come back and allowed the Rothschild the power they have today!!

Certified hood classic
"The Matrix is a documentary" - a perfect title for a documentary on "The Matrix"!
I remember it was June 1999 ... thinking, after watching The Matrix, something has changed. In those few days, a strange feeling of incomprehension and the urge to grasp a reality words would fail to articulate rose to the surface.
Your documentary managed to put all that together beautifully!
Brilliant work! Thank you.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Next "They Live" was a documentary@@OpticLureProductions
I agree. I was 9 when I watched it in 99 and I never looked at the world the same way again.
Then 9/11 came shortly thereafter.
I didn’t “wake up” until 2013 however.
@@blurry.magnetswhat do you mean by you “didn’t wake up until 2013”?? Do you mean an ego death or something?

One of the best videos I have ever watched in my whole life dude.
Thank you so much man!
It's too bad I didn't make it to see the Matrix when it was in theaters. The 90s were such an amazing blend of the decades before it, and the one to come after.
Having been a young adult in the 1990's I would have never realized that the dystopian future was already at the doorstep. 😮
I know right!
I'm probably from your age group, America was still in it's golden age. in the 90's I watched all the school psychologists observing mainly the kids with divorced parents like myself, i noticed those kids had similar issues too me. I noticed how burned out teachers already were when I got there, and I felt like there was this enormous enslaving like pressure to become a doctor, like my dad, at like age 8, despite barely average grades from barely being able to focus (then they wanted to medicate). Trauma at home = not focusing at school in short. I was obviously miserable feeling like a prisoner, and I saw most of the population miserable back then, adult professionals especially, cops were miserable, my parents, and thought, something isn't right, and there is no way the world is going to make it like this with a 50% divorce rate, homelessness, etc. I smirked over the identity crisis, the kids at school mimicking the outfits, but as I explored the first film especially I was pretty blown away once I understood it; and I especially understood it when I started to work for corporations!
I knew and saw it. And I,ve been since 2003 saying do not get into cryptos, do not accept automatic cashiers...

The Matrix ending + rage against the machine, it always gives me goosebumps just as the first time. Also the feeling of acknowledging something different remains fresh & relevant.
Wachowskis being trans is *such* raging against the machine. They chose the red pill (estrogen).
@samiraperi467 rage against the machine also flipped to rage in the name of machine 🤭
@@samiraperi467 - NO, that's just their mental break at the reality that they'd come hard up against . Sad, really, that their creation would sothorougjly destroy them . Do NIT forget that _their_ vision of the overarching reality 8s NOT comprehensive , is NOT _EXCLUSIVE_ . There are more pages to the *Book of Truth* than _just_ *their* movie.
@@spraitukas - Yes, that happening to the Wachowskis is typical of children coming HARD up against a reality they weren't prepared to handle .
The creation destroying its creator is another typical journey-story theme, deservedly so .
That feeling when u realize rage against the machine mandated covid passports for their concerts 😅
How am I just now getting shown this 2 years later?? The Matrix is an awesome series. Ringing too true to current times. I saw The Matrix in theatres. Right after Star Wars. A day I'll never forget.
This is extremely good documentary, the quality of every aspect is so high. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
The reason this movie was so popular was because it gave people the feeling that , yes, there is something very wrong with the world. People had felt for a very long time, a feeling that our world was somehow doomed and not what it seemed. Admittedly, that feeling in part was a product of other media we had all consumed..
Now, a quarter century later, the grip of media influence has loosened, and the internet has become a serious threat to the people who were in charge of what we thought. Now you are in charge of what you think.
It also made people realize that what they feared thus hated , COULD be defeated, but then it showed too that while that fight is crucially _important_ , it would ONLY be won at GREAT COST . Basically its up to US , and we (most of us) aren't interested . Remember, ~200 years ago - only III% of the original colonists stood against the overpowering authority of the time, the most important world power on the planet . We prevailed but only at GREAT cost . While some are busily 'shrooming and toking their lives away, SOME have chosen to unplug from that Matrix .
Also in the past people had access to bookstores and libraries. So you were also in charge of what you think like in the 1950ties.^^
@@tomswan3401 Which were far superior to the majority of crap on the internet. You have time to think about what you're interested in in a library or bookstore. On the internet it's mainly one algorithm after another at the click of a mouse.
@michaelsrensen2452 You've completely misunderstood me. I USED to browse books I thought would interest/educate me, I click on videos pertinent to the video I'm currently watching, if I feel so inclined. The former takes time and effort, the latter doesn't. And I didn't say you felt 'superior'.
Why isnt it "sunny" once you're up in outer space. Makes no sense. We're in the neighborhood of a bright ass star 🌟
Fitting that someone that looks like a Chuck Norris body double makes a documentary about the greatest action movie ever produced. Well done! Can't believe it's been 25 years & the original Matrix remains the best.
People call me Norris all the time at my job lol
I'm not sure why. You look nothing like Chuck. Not at all. Not ever.
What about Matrix 4? 🤭
what do you mean by original matrix? the trilogy or part one?

Bound is an underrated masterpiece. Fight me.
Its so good!
This was beyond great. As someone born in 1982 and having witnessed everything described - the before and the after - first hand, all I can say is bravo.
Nope you was born too late. You had to be born in the 60’s or early 70’s, before anything digital. By the time you were 10, mobile phones were abundant. The internet had started. The games consoles were magnificent. You never knew the time before because it ended when you were just starting to wake up.
@@MasterBlaster3545 my first memories are of an atari 2600 and my first computer was a commodore late 80's. Yes I became computer literate early on but I still played at the park with friends and went bicycle riding.

The matrix and cyberpunk started my obsession with futuristic/apocalyptic movies. I’ve always known it’s real and possible. Seeing it unfold now gives me chills
This is straight up brilliant. Perfect journalism, documentary, entertaining and informative. It’s the story of my life. I am 48.
Is it just me or a lot of things happened in 1984 more than any other year that I've heard ?
I was born in '84 and it's not just you. I feel like its always referenced.
Even back to The future references it.
It's referenced practically in everything from music, to movies, to books, to documentaries, to video games, to politics, science, etc. I was born in 84 as well.
1962 was a pretty big one as well.
This is called the quickening. As time progresses, the rate of change increases. There are different power structures, amd we cycle through them. Every system has a lifecycle and none of them last forever. It generally follows the MODRA pattern. Monarchy, Oligarcy, Democracy, Republic, Amarchy.
Renting this as a preteen on VHS in my parents bedroom because they didn’t want to watch movies I rented. I ran down stairs saying you have to see this movie. I told them the premise. Life’s a simulation and humans are batteries and the main character is basically Superman in unbridled excitement and was immediately pooped upon.
I'm 277 years old and this is the best RUclips video I have ever seen.

Thanks brother, I appreciate you!
Save the video and watch again.
Very well done video my guy. The Matrix is so relevant, and is a Masterpiece. I'm an introvert who loves theology. I don't let many people into my bubble, because most people are shallow, and don't wanna talk about deep , thought provoking topics. I love having weekly therapy sessions because that's MY time, and I get to talk about whatever I want, with a therapist I've come to think of a friend, on some level. The purpose of life, religion, and what is real and meaningful have haunted me my whole life. I'm now 45.
The Matrix resonates with my soul. That, along with The Lord of The Rings trilogy are two of my favorite movies of all time. LOTR is more of a fantasy escape from the real world though. 😊
❤ To you all friends !!! We need ❤ amongst each other.
Stop depending on your therapy and depend on the seasons of life and nature-THAT is what tells no lies-nature does not care about you and so being vulnerable is really where you discover how “tough” you really are…
You’ve no idea until you give up control-stop trying to control everything and suffer -then you will never need to depend on any therapist-just yourself and your fkn grit bruh
@@CutmeMick you have no idea of my life, other than the short paragraph I wrote. How old are you, "bruh". You got it all figured out do ya ? Lol.
Even though it wasn't a scene by scene analysis of the movie, this is probably one of the best insights out there and is pure gold.
Part 3 should scare us all, but alas most of us have chosen the blue pill.
Nice touch with "clubbed to death". Took me down memory lane
Akira & Ghost in the Shell were game changers in the cyber punk genre & set the benchmark in Sci Fi cinema forever....They were simply incredible for there time
They were and they still hold up so well today!
@Alchemy2.0 Definitely brilliant for their time, and still solid now. 👍
So Ironic how the Wachowskis ended up succumbing to the same Zeitgeist and narratives they were trying to warn us about in the first place. Great video btw. Just subscribed.
The matrix was not created by the wachowskies. A black female author wrote the matrix books 1 and 2, and wrote the terminator 1- 4 stories 30 years prier to the films. The wachowskies and jamaes cameron stole her content. She sued them for $2 billion., hollywood stays quiet. The majority of directors in hollywood are talentless. The director of the village movie M night shyamala with jaquin pheonix, stole the idea from a female author called magaret haddix who wrote the book running out of time which is identical to the film. His other movie life of Pi was ripped off from an indian childrens book author who grew up in the same part of idea as he did. The matrix is nonsense anyway. Its just religion repackaged into new age philosophy. If you look at Neos long black coat he wears, it looks very similar to the catholics popes uniform.

@@gamingforever6687 she did not win the lawsuit. Also she did not write the matrix or terminator.

It’s a sick af sci fi movie that really makes you think.
@@gamingforever6687 all art is stolen remixes. That’s a large concept this video focuses on lmao. There are religious practices where monks will make very finely detailed intricate beautiful pieces that takes days and then they destroy them after they are done. The universe contains everything.

I never realised how unlikely it was for The Matrix to get greenlit and how lucky we are to have been able to see it.
Never been a Nirvana fan, but the message on this cover 14:20 is brutal ....
I popped this on randomly to get diner ready, and 45 minutes later diner was ready and I don’t have much memory of the process. Great soundtrack that follows the storyline perfectly, a great distillation of the relative cultural history. I was really drawn in. Great work!
Was 24 when I saw it in theatres, and the whole group I went with were blown away. We were all high and to a man came out of there wanting to discuss the movie in ways we’d never had to before.
Thanks my man glad you liked it! It was truly a film the likes of which we may never see again. A perfect blend of so many things

Story of my life, being ahead of your time isn't anywhere near glamorous, as no one understands you, and when they finally get it they're able to monetize on your passions that for you were always, and only, a fkn money pit!! 😅 Not that I value money more than the enjoyment of doing what you love, it's simply an observation.
What are you talking about?
Same with me, I knew Matrix, Artificial Intelligence and Anime Vibe was going to be the Zeigheits, the Mind of the Era but I had to remain silent all this time because you were seen nerdy like rat boy, and watch now the world is quickly going delusionally cyberpunk.
@@nicksothep8472not only that but by the time they catch on; I'm getting bored with it.
This started randomly as Im working. I listened, then I watched, then I left my work and just went through this video till the end and so glad find a new good channel after a long while. Keep it up! :)
It is actually will be good if all documentaries will be in this style :)
I was an extra on 2-3. I was originally cast as a stand in, cut my hair off between casting and filming, and got relegated to the extra ranks. Spent a lot of time on several sets. We often sat around for 2 or 3 days waiting for the call out, get the call, do a few takes or rehearsals, get called to go to lunch, that was the days work.
It was pretty hard to work out what the story line was, as they mixed up the filming sequences so yu had no bloody clue. It was a lot of fun but. I got on screen a few times, but they dimmed the lighting in the movie, and im in the shadows mostly. Had yarns with a few of the main actors. Fishburne is a hectic dude. Im in a couple of scenes with him, but yu hardly see me. In one scene im sitting next to roy jones jr (hes also a cool dude) at the war council, yu can see him clear as day and im in the bloody shadows. Lol. 😆😁.
I got busted looking at the directors monitors after each reset.
They even told me off for acting, or more to the point over acting.
I said oh if im actually acting am i, shouldn't i be getting actor rates instead of extras rate. I got a good laugh out of that, but naa, sadly never got no pay rise.
I was watching where the camera was going and where the action was, to makes sure i got on screen.
They figured me out i reckon, cause i did get on screen a few times, the only time yu can see me clearly bugger it, is my friggin hand ffs. Fmd, there went my dreams of bein the next Mel.
lol funny story, thanks for sharing.
Sounds Terrible
There are so few movies with content that can emotionally engage me so much that I get chills from them for 1 reason or another, that I can count them on 1 hand, but Matrix has such a big hidden message that it just needs to play the main title track and I already have chills from that moment. Its not a perfect movie, but its a so great movie, that changed the view of many people in the society on the whole civilization and even the legal system in some states and thats something realy rare in the cinematography history.
couldnt agree more. It transcends film and becomes a landmark of sorts..
Bro I was in my dad's balls when the matrix came out and I still remember the release. It is beyond iconic.
one of the most important documentaries of all time
Let's focus on how the light hits the narrator. It's minimal, it's magnificent, it's perfect.
The lead up to that intro was butter! The moment enter the Zeitgeist appeared I paused and subscribed and hit the like button! Very well done
Thanks so much brother!

Wow! 2 year old video and you still responded to fans??? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I try lol@@Mowthelawn3
I have always been amazed and mystified, when suddenly exposed to certain movies, teachings, or metaphysical speculation about how, somehow in a peculiar way they seem unbelievably familiar, even though I have never been exposed to any of these things before. This happened the first time viewing The Matrix.
I just watched this video in a virtual reality (Quest 3) headset.. my 90's teenage mind would have been blown by the fact! =D
Oh wow thats pretty cool lol
This is an absolutely fantastic study. Excellent work, dude! Very concise editing. Beautiful
1999 was a fear of a fallout, 9 years later was 2008 WOW
You have pleased the algorithm god
You are now
Blessed
"AI seems to be on the rise" Damn it's been only 2 years and this sentence has aged a century
For REAL! lol
*Would definitely like to see you make a video on the movie "They Live" to hear your perspective on it. Now that's another beast of a documentary about this world.*
I think Rowdy Roddy Piper said that the movie They Live is actually a kind of documentary it self.
This is a really well put together video and is very thought provoking and very in depth! I have to go rewatch The Matrix now! Good stuff
Imagine dying in the 80s before ever seeing the world come to what it has now.
I find it difficult to believe that this has not received more views. Very well done indeed! I am a new fan :)
Thank you! 😊
Why are we all randomly here 2 years later after this popped up 😬😂
We must be special... or something
So far i have very much enjoyed. This is a fantastic video. Historical and present day accuracy for the thinking mind. Absolutely lovely. ❤
One of the best documentarys of the last years for sure!
Wow! Big praise. Thank you so much! Im happy you enjoyed it
The comments are everything! Amazing. I can't even begin to describe the appreciation for the creator but also, for all these comments that I can relate to on so many levels. I just subscribed, immediately-- didn't pass go, didn't collect my $200. Looking forward to binge-watching some Optic Lure. But this is definitely not background stimulation for your brain. I agree with the poster that was late with dinner... this is some 'get sucked in' type of deep diving, mind mapping brilliant work.
Thank you so much glad you enjoy it so much. Hope you like some of my other videos and future works
Watching Akira in the theater when it came out was a mind blowing experience ❤
Man i just miss the 90s. .
Big time
Remember the "old people" when you lived in the 90s that said they miss the 70s? Well, welcome to being that old person you made fun of as a child... LMFFFAAAOOO
I know this is a subject for a different video, but I find it incredibly impressive how The Matrix had a budget of only 63 million. It was alot for a film at the time, but I find it impressive considering how expensive blockbuster films are now and how they don't even measure to the importance of The Matrix.
Fantastic share, brother. So very thought-provoking. Subscribed.
Thanks so much!!
RUclips won’t let me like this, and when I liked a comment it said “an unknown error has occurred”
Something strange about that
computers had abbreviated dates because in the old days storage was scarce. just felt the need to expand on this.
The Matrix is my go-to answer when asked what my favorite movie of all time is. Conversation usually touches on some stuff in this video, loved every minute of it. Thank you!
Love that!
Movies seem to lack that psychological thrill I received with The Matrix. Inception was the closest I got, but even that had no real answer, just dread.
