    If you continue on with the franchise, I recommend "NOT" skipping over the Animatrix, even if you just watch it on your own before jumping into the sequel. The movie is a collection of animated shorts, that really flushes out the world of the Matrix, providing tons of backstory and history, setting up the events of the sequel, explores numerous philosophical themes and tell a wide variety of stories. It's like a smorgasbord of animation, since they used different studios to create each chapter, each has it's on unique look, feel, animation style and technique, not to mention exploring a range of narrative styles and perspectives.

      Not even remotely true that no one had thought of this before. VR and simulated reality was a very hot topic in science fiction only a few years prior to this coming out. The surprising part was not the concepts in the movie, but that normally, movies and TV have been a lot more out of date (sometimes 20 to 50 years out of date) from what was hot in science fiction. This was only about 7 years after Neal Stephenson first wrote about a metaverse. Even the concept of someone being trapped in a virtual world was written about before (for example, James Hogan's Realtime Interrupt is a fun read about that very subject).

    You can look up the _pince-nez_ sunglasses that Morpheus wore, to see how they stay on. Basically, they pinch the bridge of the nose, and the name comes from a French phrase (pronounced 'pahnss nay') that literally means 'pinch nose' (also 'nose pincers' or even 'nose pliers'). The style that Morpheus wore had spring-loaded nose cushions, with little wire handles projecting toward the front, which you can see him using at 22:04. When they first came into style around the late 19th and early 20th century, the spring action was achieved by making the connecting piece curved and springy.
    I've always thought skin oils or sweat would make them fall off. But perhaps Morpheus is too cool to sweat (when he's not being tortured, that is).

The difference is that the Matrix was not the real world but you could make it what you wanted. This movie is the other way around. NOBODY ever mentions Doctor Who as the true origin of the "Matrix".

    "How did I not know there was a movie!?!?"
    The idea goes back ancient Greece - In "The Allegory of The Cave" Plato suggested that if people were born in a cave and lived their entire life in it, they would think that's all of reality. If they were ever to see the world outside the cave, they would retreat back to the familar in confusion and terror.
    In science fiction, there was an original Star Trek episode where they are trapped in Westworld sim, ("Spectre of The Gun" 1968) which they are able to defeat in a similar manner, by convincing themselves none of the danger was real. Tom Baker entered a computer-generated simulation, actually called a "matrix" in a Dr Who episode. ("The Deadly Assassin" 1976).
    There's an 80's anime about people unaware that they are living in a fake Tokyo inside of a giant space station, 500 years in the future. They also have the scary "squiddie" robots. ("Megazone 23" pts 1&2 1985-86)
    The year before the Matrix was realeased, were TWO movies about fake realities: "The Truman Show" with Jim Carrey, and "Dark City." Dark City is remarkably similar to The Matrix, down to the look and production design. The Matrix actually recycled some sets and props from Dark City.
    Dark City is also *really good.* Some people like it as much or more than The Matrix.

    "There is no spoon." is one of the best movie lines of all time. Haha, I lost count of how many times you said, "I want to do that." Like you, I have believed for many years that this could all be true. How would we know? I was living in Italy when this came out and in the town I was living the video store had one shelf of English language movies. The Matrix blew my mind so much I watched it 5 times in a day and then hired it again the following week. It is rare that sequels are as good as the original but Matrix 2 and 3 come very close. The film 'Dark City' with Jennifer Connelly is along similar lines, but not quite.... As I'm sure you know by now where you knew Agent Smith from, Hugo Weaving (apart from his role in the Lord Of The Rings) is in many fantastic films.

    23:55 "I forget: what makes the agents more powerful?" It's because they're computer programs, not people. Not only were they designed specifically for this purpose, but they were designed without the limits placed on humans in the simulation (which are there to make it seem real).

    All the computer language references in these movies are cool and hard to keep up with. Mr. Anderson's apartment is room 101. 101 is a course or manual for beginners. Like the beginning of Mr. Anderson's hacking career. Trinity's room is 303. The 303 HTTP status code means that the redirects don’t connect to the recently transferred resource, but to another page. Like, leading Mr. Anderson to other resources. The definition of "Neo" is new, recent, revived or modified. It can also mean first or the one. One of my favorites and way more subtle than the rest is at the Oracle's apartment. Neo had to accept her "cookies" before he could use her knowledge. lol

    I think it is hilarious that everyone thinks this is a niche bit of cinema that no one knows. I was alive when this came out, and when it did, everyone knew this movie and ate it up, or some didn't because it was too scary or mindblowing - but EVERYONE knew it. There has been a handful of movies in my time that have changed cinema forever: Star Wars: A New Hope, Jurassic Park and The Matrix are in that list. A lot of movies copied bits from this movie, even Shrek. It set a special effects line in the sand, and everything that came after benefitted because of what was put into this movie.
    But Dawn, you are funny and cute, and your humor strikes just the right counterpoint to this movie in this reaction. Great job, and keep them coming. You just earned another sub.

    Agent Smith is Elrond from The Lord of the Rings. He's also Tick from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but I don't think that's the movie you are thinking of.
    Morpheus: Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
    Morpheus, nekminit: So Neo, let me just spend 5 minutes succinctly explaining the Matrix to you.
    Think on this. Once Neo is the One, he won't need any bits to hold up his sunglasses at all.

    The Oracle told Neo "not in this lifetime". Neo had to die to become 'the one'. While Trinity was told by the Oracle that she would fall in love with 'the one'. Her kiss was symbolic of her love of Neo. So Trinity's prophecy brought Neo back from the dead to awaken Neo into becoming 'the one', fulfilling Neos' and Morpheus' prophecy.

  • @stiimuli

    The homeless guy in the subway wasn't an Agent. Agents are security programs written to keep the Matrix running smoothly. As programs they can jump into any human body inside the Matrix (because those bodies are just simulations). This was why Neo was so scared when he ran into a crowd of people. It is also why no one could ever kill an agent. Only the body they were inhabiting gets killed (sucks to be that person) while the Agent program just jumps to another person. At the end Neo attacks Smith's program, not just the body he was in, and destroys it from the inside. He finally truly grasped that it was all just code and Neo as a hacker could do literally anything inside the Matrix.

  • @Eidlones
    @Eidlones Pƙed rokem

    You only ever see 3 Agents in the movie. They don't really have a body, they "possess" people that are a part of the system. If the person isn't a part of their system, like Morpheus' group that hacked into it instead of being a part of it, then they can't "possess" them or see what they see. Before they rescued Neo, an Agent could potentially take over his body, that's why they had a gun on him at first. If an Agent dies, it's just the person they're "possessing" that dies, and they simply switch to another person.
    When Neo's running away at the end, the Agents are picking people that are further ahead in the direction he's going to "possess", and always be in his face. It's easier and more effective than just running him down on foot.

    The style of glasses Morpheus is wearing are known as 'pince-nez' which literally means 'pinch nose'. Think of the word 'pincer'. They were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and no, original 'pince-nez' glasses were not tinted, they were 'reading' glasses.
