    The one thing I love about this scene is how well it portrays the very human nature of Agent Smith despite him being a computer program. He makes alot of overtly aggressive moves that aren't necessary and relishes in inflicting pain. He also does gestures that shows he is amped to fight after throwing his gun away. The best part is when he holds Neo in front of the train and talks about his inevitable death despite having the opportunity to just snap his neck. He took such an unnecessary risk at the end of the fight just to ensure Neo got to suffer before his death. He truly was corrupted by humanity

      ​@jamesbutler8821 Even though Smith's moves are less agile or difficult to pull off, there is still an art to _reacting_ to Neo's moves in a way that sells the impact of the choreography. Which requires his part of the scene to be just as involved and precise.

      1) You can't win against an Agent, no matter what
      2) Only one man believes that Neo COULD potentially do it, but we're never shown HOW up until that climax
      3) If you decide to fight (which is madness) you're automatically sacrificing yourself and you're aware of that
      4) If you lose THAT fight, all is lost
      So yeah Neo looking at the stairs (which symbolizes the Escape route) and turning his back to it is powerful AF because it takes guts and it takes faith (faith on who he's constantly told he is), in his specific case

    There's two parts about the beginning of this scene that always stood out to me (especially considering Smith is an Agent and thus a computer program.) First, he misses all his shots in such a small space, but then second, when Neo says "so are you", he actually glances at the gun to confirm that he's actually out of bullets...almost showing a human aspect to his character.

    • @kvltizt

      Same here, For me anyway, it has to do with the fact that they aren't cutting up the fight like they do every other movie out there where its cut after cut after cut to mask the fact the actor can't actually fight for real. In this movie the actors choreographed their fights with one another and the end result is this. Where you see them ACTUALLY simulating the fight in one continuous shot.

The Matrix is more like an old-school Hong Kong film -- it has several seconds of holding a camera shot with the odd single or double blow mixed in. It's a huge step-up in quality but requires a lot more training & choreography.

    I love the fact that this is an unprecedented event for the humans in the matrix, fighting an agent on equal footing and winning, and yet at the end of it all, its just a small delay to Agent Smith hunting Neo anew the moment the train stops. It helps build on the impossibility of the task humanity has in conquering the matrix and makes smiths ambush later on feel just as tense as any other moment.

      @@ashm4938 I personally believe he had been around so long without deletion that Smith gained some of of the qualities of humans but it was suppressed when fully in "agent mode" aka with the sunglasses and earpiece. Headcannon for me is the earpiece is a direct connection to the mainframe, and the sunglasses represent the uniform anonymity that allows an agent to freely move around the matrix. Both of those things if true do express a form of control from the mainframe. Without them they are effectively a free agent, no longer gaining benefits but also not being directly suppressed. When Smith was destroyed he was a free agent... What ever anomalous code neo carried was able to affect Smith and change him into the virus he was later.

    • @johnkyl123
      @johnkyl123 Před 2 lety +9

      Agent smith willingly accepted the system but retained a small margin of his humanity. In other words, he’s the evil one. That’s why no matters how many clones are made of agent smith, they are all re-enacted in his image. He is the original one, so the system uses him as it’s most powerful conduit. The system never possessed the ability to change people, only the one can do that. This is why agent smith is able to modify and change code. This is why agent smith can do the things he can do. The system never possessed that power until possessing smith. And although anybody can alter code, harness the ability of the ones to a small extent, only the true one can defeat the one who was his predecessor. Hence why neo has to be the one to defeat smith. Why only neo can defeat the agents/agent smith.

    As an adult watching this, after all the other fighting movies I have seen, what really stands out is how well it is shot. It is clear what is going on, we can see everything, the camera is either fixed or doing steady tracking shots, and they are letting the actors do quite a few moves/hits before cutting. We know exactly what is happening every moment in the fight, and even now still learning more about both of the characters.

      The choreography is fantastic too. Stays true to the rules they set up. Smith is strong and fast but is confined by rules, therefore his style is very simple. Neo can bend the rules since he isn’t as confined, so there are more acrobatic moves in his style.
      Plus when they are hit it tells a narrative too. Neo’s best shot can only push Smith back a little. Every hit Smith lands drives Neo back. You can feel that threat, Neo can hit as hard or take as much damage.

    Hugo was one of the stars of the trilogy. His portrayal of Agent Smith is unlike anything I've seen with an antagonist and there's this energy and charisma he emanates that makes this role truly his. I will never not get chills when he berates Neo through gritted teeth;
    "Why, why WHY, Mr Anderson? WHY DO YOU PERSIST?!"
    One of the best villains ever created and one that may have had a fair point!

    It's an interesting irony in this movie that an essential element of Neo's emergence as the One was that he not believe it at first. He went in to rescue Morpheus believing that he was an ordinary man, expendable for the cause. And through his battles with the soldiers, the Agents, Smith here, and finally death itself, he came to understand who he truly was.
    But to emerge as the One, he had to initially believe that he was not.

    2:19 I always thought this was a subtle callback to when Neo first fought Morpheus. The subtle calm inhale and exhale and the hand motion daring smith to make the next move. Similar to how Morpheus did the exact same hand motion to Neo when they fought and he lost the first time, and his breathing taking him back to remembering that there really is no air to breathe.

      Yea. Also, killing agent means killing the person he posseses. One think that always bothered me in Matrix (still exceptional movie) was not adressing the problem of countless deaths red pills cause, killing people on their way. While it is very hard to kill an agent, it could also add great barrier for many people, because they would not want to kill innocent person behind the agent, making possessed person a living sheald, so "just run" stategy could be also ethical, in addition to very wise.

    I think my favorite part about this movie and about this fight is that it proves Neo is "only human". Agent Smith may be stronger, throwing Neo is walls and pillars, but Neo adapts, which is arguably humanity's greatest strength, that adaptation that Smith could never do. At 1:38 Smith grabs both of Neo's arms and headbutts him, but Neo adapts and break out. At 2:29 Neo does the exact same maneuver to Smith and he fails to adapt. At 2:38, Neo throws a punch at Smith and he grabs the wrist, but Neo quickly adapts and extends his fingers to go for the Agent's throat. This entire fight is Smith overpowering Neo, but Neo having the advantage of the natural human ability to change tactics based on a scenario. Brilliant.

    • @BakerClan
      @BakerClan Před 2 lety +35

      While in principle this is true to this scene it is not true for the entirety of the trilogy. Smith is seen adapting throughout the entire movie, although his approach is more calculated. The irony with smith is that although he is only a program he showcases almost all of the negative traits he hates about humanity. However he adapts in the most ruthless of ways. Because he is a program confined to the matrix his ability to adapt was limited but he is later freed and able to adapt in ways I’m sure you’ve seen. I think the two greatest differences is that smith doesn’t adapt internally he remains the same he believes he is already better and superior to Neo in every way making him only create copies of himself. Neo understands he has flaws that can be improved and as you stated adjust as the situation presents itself. Almost like Pride or Arrogance Vs Humility or Meekness
