Neo being emotionless for half the movie is PERFECT. How would you react if you got unplugged from the matrix and saw the world for what it is (Post apocalyptic) ? You'd be shocked. Speeches.
What I don’t understand is even if he was egoless during the acting how is that him as an actor if not the script and director told him to do so. In the devils advocate he had a ton of ego.
The most emotion he shows in the movie is right after he begs to be taken out of the construct when being told the truth and that made the most sense to me
Keanu Reeves was and is the perfect cast for this particular role and the charakter I identified the most with. Why? Because he's a fucking good person in real life going through a hell of private tragedies. He shines with subtle nuances in his portrayal which came natural to him because he's a calm, vulnerable, self-reflecting, deep-thinking and distinctive person. So to bash him with this old-fashioned, overused "Kenau is a bad/boring actor" phrase just shows your bigheaded incapability to witness sheer greatness in small but mighty details.
Will smith was chosen for the role and his response when shown the concept of bullet time was "what the fuck". When they showed it to Keanu, he thought it was the best thing he's ever heard. Right then and there you can see who has vision and and the intellectual insight.
The first time I watched the Matrix it blew my mind and sent a chill down my spine. Especially the scene where Neo lays eyes on the Fields on millions of people for the first time. I don't know about you but the concept of living in a virtual reality had never even occurred to me, but what was more scary was how doable it was. " what is real " if real is what you can taste, smell, see and touch then real is just electrical signals sent to your brain. This is experienced by all when we have dreams, we don't even bloody know we are in one till we wake up 90% of the time.
+MagnificentBoshtet hahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha me tooooooooooooo what about : Creator of the matrix :"you are here because Zion is about to be destroyed" Will Smith :"TCHOUM!! I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit" Creator of the matrix :"intresting."
People like The Matrix because its quick and action packed and it just throws everything at you quickly so that anybody can get it. People hate the sequels because they try to explain the story and they do it in a big intellectual way, basically people hated Reloaded and Revolutions because they didn't understand them. "people hate what they don't understand" you see it all through time...
You are correct on the part of 'people hate what they don't understand', which make me wonder that this story came well before it's time. People have a hard time grasping the possibility, that we could one day have machines that could become 'sentient' artificial intelligence, probably because to them, only a 'god' can create life, and to define a person's actual existence, a person must have a 'soul' and a 'spirit'. But, what 'if' your existence is only based on the function of the brain only? That what you 'know' is from your senses (touch, smell, hearing, sight), and that all that you 'know' is from a lifetime of information gained by those senses? Now, consider those senses are duplicated? If your 'brain' was connected to a machine, that was capable of generating the same sensory input you experience 'now' without knowing this....how would you 'know' what is 'real', and what was 'not'? I know that there are many that would say this just can't happen, that no one would 'think' that it can happen even today, much less, at the time this film came out. Then again, this concept 'was' used before. STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE was the first movie I had seen, that introduced the concept of a person being broke down 'digitally' into 'data patterns', while in the movie TRON, the idea that there is a 'computerized' world, and the possibly that a person could enter that world, also by being broke down 'digitally' into data patterns, and stored as a program. It was through the movie THE LAWNMOWER MAN, that we saw the ability to enter that digital world, but not actually 'become' part of it, and that you could leave it when desired (the same goes for the 'holodecks' in the Star Trek shows). The MATRIX was something far different than 'any' of those stories, as it introduced the concept that people were not in control, and that they were unaware of the world they were in was a illusion, which may explain the bigger reason why many people 'hate' this story. Do people 'believe' this could happen? That it could be 'real'? I remember hearing about people committing suicide after watching this movie, simply because of the possibility that what we 'think' is real, could be a lie, and that we could actually be trapped inside a computerized reality. This is probably the biggest reasons to hate the Matrix for many, although, it is more 'fear' that they feel than hate.
Not at all. Many, many popular movies were misunderstood completely but still enjoyable to watch. 12 monkeys for example. Or American Beauty. I didn't understand American Beauty at all when I first saw it at 16, nor did I understand the first Matrix when I saw it at 13 yet I still loved them. The problem is they wrote shit screenplays. They didn't know how to properly communicate their ideas because they're become over-complicated and convoluted and what we ended up with was a complete mess.
Thats exaxtly why i didnt wanna watch the matrix at first, it was being marketed on the visuals and special effects, it wasnt untill 4 years later when i caught it on tv that i realized i had been sleeping on this movie, the deep philosophical themes was what hooked me on the matrix, not the kung fu and bullet time.
To love all 3 you must be in that small demographic of people who enjoy watching over the top action movie fight scenes AND having philosophical discussions. Not too many of us.
+whizgal851 Maybe its because Im drunk, but I think Nic Cage would've been fine as Neo. Or maybe its because I watched Face/Off about 50-100 times as a kid (that and Die Hard were the only two VHS my father owned).
Yes Bull where the plug is(look up the astrological man notice where Taurus the Bull OF Heaven is located), why BULL ET, the anti center of the galaxy, & the fact that Bulls don't see Red like red dress analogy or why Rothschild means Red shield or to act as a human shield. ET means alien to what I am describing is Neo seeing Green or the truth= able to DE Cipher get it Cypher or why LU CIFER as LU means LLI or not ILL but to Heal. They also use the Red Shield metaphor in Highlander along with losing your head cut off at the neck telling people that the creator of the red shield was the Highlander himself which is played by what actor... Lambert who was born where... Great Neck, funny eh as if this reality like in Matrix is already ai/artificial construct & if you have a good bit of knowledge you can decipher names etc. which provide program function. & as for "fighting" the Bull of Heaven came to help once before from what I "guess" but when he did he of course had to remove(fight) the red shields(people/programs acting as human shields) laying them to waste but when he did the population which begged for help attacked him calling him a monster, the devil, Lucifer so really this limits the realistic things people can hope for. OC~~~
+mike salami yeah i don't even understnd that people would hate on him; he portrays his character very well. and also i lol'd at the part about will smith being a good actor. keanu is definitely better
well its a matter of preference but i don't really like will smith. i don't say keanu is objectively better than all of them for anything, but for matrix they did the best choice imo
chopcooey Well I guess it's personal opinion if you think will isn't a good actor. I think he's really good especially in movies like I Am Legend, Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness, Men in Black lol, etc. He's charismatic as well and his acting (I've noticed that even if the movie itself isn't that great for whatever reason) is *usually* given lots of praise from critics...Meh. I guess we don't see the same things and that's fine, I suppose. I just don't think it's fair to say he's objectively not "good" cause his performances usually do get good reviews, (and this is excluding my own opinion). He's been nominated for lots of awards: Golden Globes, Academy, Grammys even. Not that I think awards mean anything (cause Leo -cries-) but from actually reading what reviews say from professionals, it's pretty even across the board...
But denying your own impulses which usually is lead by wanting to improve or change IS also something that makes us human. Animals live by their impulses and instinct to do what it takes to eat, sometimes feed their family and defend themselves along other things. So if anything it's what makes us animals. Humans have always tried to change. We hate change but we have always changed since the dawn of time. Whether it's evolution or wanting to live a better life. Moving to other lands, finding other foods, finding a better home, giving your family the best you can offer, etc.
Most people do t like the sequels because it takes more time to explain than just action . They simply don't get all the rhetoric, semantics, and analogies. So here it is. All that is in existence is the matrix. You will never escape unless you die. The "one" is just a a way for those who are aware of the matrix, to feel as if they are making a difference. At the end everything restarted and the Oracle and architect discuss the "rules" of the new matrix saying that those who want to leave will be freed.
I personally loved the sequels. My favourite trilogy of all time as every time I see it I realise more and more about it that finally makes sense now. The second and third were much more serious yes, but I think that helped tie up the loose ends in the story. I loved them all! Though I do get your points.
The second and third movie had complex dialogue, but it required and made you think at a much deeper philosophical level, and i love using my brain and thinking outside the box. It went deeper into what this construct(matrix) is and i loved every min of it. The action was just added bonuses.
I don't think any of the three movies sucks but the reason why I think everyone loved the first movie so much, especially men is because this one is one big metaphor of life and society. It's about letting go of your current believe system and stepping into the unknown, finding out why we're here and living up to your true potential. Or you just stay in wonderland where everything looks good but is full of lies. Once you're willing to accept that everything you know isn't true you'll die (metaphorically) and you'll be reborn, ready to see the world as it truly is, ready to make your own choices.
Nah the ending could've easily been left as just that - you don't really need to see Neo destroy every last machine or whatever, it's already shown that he has transcended the Matrix and now runs the show. His watering down in the sequels was only plot necessity
the sequels were alot more serious than the first movie it seemed. also the wachowskis worked on 4 different projects at the same time: 2 movies, a video game, and an animated movie. so something had to give. nevertheless, reloaded is the highest grossing R movie unadjusted for inflation.
We discuss this creative overload in our analysis videos. But in our opinion, more time should have been allotted for the feature films, as they are the bigger of the two projects. Also, box office numbers don't necessarily correlate to quality film. In this case, the first film had MAJOR cultural impact, so naturally the sequel would have a massive viewing. However, once Reloaded was released, Revolutions didn't do so hot box office-wise.
Fun fact: when Carrie Ann Moss is saying, "oh no oh no", it's because she just broke her ankle. She was actually so scared that she couldn't do the movie, she lied saying everything was okay and did the rest of the movie with that broken ankle. It wasn't until afterwards that the producers found out.
*_To Deny our own Impulses is to Deny the very thing that makes us Human_* ... Thank you for pointing out one of the truest things ever spoken & I couldn't agree more! 👍🏼
Hm. In retrospect, given the directors went full trans-sexual with operations et al, I have to say that line is horribly ill-fitting for anyone who wishes to NOT be a slave to inner compulsions, and who actually realizes that ALL behavior is a CHOICE, not some irresistible force beyond our control.
Wrong. To deny can be after careful consideration, experience or lessons learned from other people's experience, also known as wisdom. So, unless you think people should NOT deny their impulses related to things liek road rage, sexual assault, or murder, then failing to deny impulses is or invites Nihilism.
it is well to consider your impulses and imagine where they come from to where they may lead and perhaps your impulse is to gain more freedom but it may also be some addiction to something that wears your down too much... you at least need to discover what you need and why you want
Yet giving in to every natural impulse we have makes us more like animals, or even machines. No conscience, no morals, etc. Being human is about thinking and reasoning, then making a decision to say or do one thing or another.
I never got why people hated the sequels so much but when i heard what was their reason i immediately realised its one of those people... yea... you know those types who just have nothing better to do than brag how wrong it was when they actually have no other way how to conclude it or express it - so instead of actually saying - Yea it was good - it just missed this or that, they simply say " SUCKED " so basically from people who don't have legit reasons why they don't like something, we should automatically just ignore and do not even take it as part of rating cause that also has bad impact on those who have more intelligence to actually take a moment and think about what is wrong and what is not before judging... Conclusion = Amazing trilogy, not for everyone, but definitely well made and original unique movie : )
+Mark Johnson The original Matrix was made with pure love, blood sweat and tears. It has a soul of its own. The sequels.... just pale imitations. But here's a more rational explanation, from a filmmaking perspective - the sequels fail because they cannot stand on their own. A great film must have a self contained story, climax, and resolution. The second film completely fails in this regard, cliffhanger endings DO NOT WORK in cinema. The third film, slightly better, but still relies too much on the previous films and does not have a life of its own. THE MATRIX can stand on its own. But what if Revolutions was the only film in the trilogy... would it even make any sense? Try viewing each film without the existence of the others, and you can plainly see how strong (or weak) they are.
I didn't like the final film at first. Because I didn't innerstand the point they were making. From my studies I saw it as an omnist theatrical. The examples of duality with agent smith and neo, the hero conquering his enemy in the real world and having to sacrifice his self for the greater good. Agent smith blew up at the end because his karma was nomore, his purpose was no longer. Neo laying as a cyborg going back to the celestial source.
I don't know if you guys still keep up with this channel but I'm still watching these analyses 10 years later. It did take like half an hour to actually find the video again because of the algorithm but I swear it was worth it. Waiting years for the revolutions video was worth it. Can't wait to revisit all these again. Hope you know you continuous make a die hard Matrix fan happy even after all these years
I'll defend Reeves casting for the same reasons given in this video. I think it ultimately works. I think Will Smith wouldn't have worked as the naive confused and conflicted Neo.
Physically and energetically, Keanu fits in with the cool, sleek aesthetic of the film. He was perfect for the role. This movie wasn't about Oscar worthy acting (although the acting has to be solid of course), it was about story and thematic material.
"Out of all the Philosophical lines in the movie, this would be my favorite"... ... Mine too! SO much so, that I sampled it & used it in a song I'd written called "Impulse" ... Years later, I was in Sydney at a club called Q-bar & who should I be introduced to, but Matt Doran - the guy who plays "Mouse" in the 1st Matrix movie. I told him how I'd sampled him in the movie for my song & he seemed confused - I think he didn't consider the line to be very "noteworthy"... :)
If Keanu is such a bad actor, then why is he cast in so many movies? You have to understand that Keanu properly acts as a surfer type. There were several in my high school (early eighties) that had that distant type of "two worlds at one time" look on their face, and this is one of the reasons he is widely accepted in the mainstream. I would be glad to introduce you to the real "Mr. Anderson." Point Break "looks" like a surf movie on the surface, however it is brilliant political satire, combined with symbols of the economy of the time. The bank robberies were happening during the S&L crisis, and if you saw it in the theater at the time, you might understand the subtle commentary it was on the political and business environment of the late eighties/early nineties.
I like the Matrix sequels because it looked like they were accomplishing something in real life (unless you believe the "Zion is just another virtual world" theory). Something about the conclusion of the first Matrix movie was frustrating and the opposite of cathartic. I think the story in Metal Gear Solid 2 illustrates why the end of Matrix 1 felt like a false victory
My whole world was blown away when I saw & heard the sound of the metallic liquid mercury going down Neo's throat, when he awoke inside the bubble I was no longer the same person I was when I first walked into that movie theatre.
ANOTHER INTERESTING CZcams WHO MAKES AMAZING VIDEOS AND THIS IS 3 YEARS OLD? There's way to much quality content on this site. I hate that I miss so much.
"tchouuuum", I'm sorry, i'm allergic to bullshit" you rrrrrrrrrrrrrock Will Smith!!! I was lmao at 10:00 where Cage avoids the bullets hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Both scenes (Will's and Cage's) reaaaaally made my day!!!!!!!!
The most amazing thing about the Matrix is that it wasn't a one-off enjoyable experience. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has watched the Matrix over 10 times, and it just doesn't get boring or dull on multiple viewings
Před 6 lety
So here's what we learned for all you aspiring story tellers: Taught script that contains - a perfectly paced plot - identifiable characters - strong tension throughout
guys, I JUST found this after rewatching the trilogy for the first time in a LONG time and I was LOLing and enjoying all these videos... PLEASE FINISH REVOLUTIONS!!!!
First time I saw matrix wallpaper, I thought I’d be seeing another American action movie, which I loved by the way. But after the cinema i was in another universe, my mind was blown away!! It was beyond an action cinema movie. It is the only movie that truly made me question some of my actions that were holding me back at the time. Such as weed and alcohol.
Keep in mind (and I'm sure you point this out in the other videos) that the sequels unfortunately were taken over by Warner Bros.. They had more control over it. I mean, both sequels came out in the same year within a span of 6 months. They filmed both at the same time leaving The Wachowskis to not be able to be fully involved in both especially since they weren't all filmed in the same country. It was physically impossible for them to be at both places. Remember they had 5 years after the script was already done to change things and make it better. The others were pretty much rushed in comparison. The first film uses religion, philosophy, life and so much more. I had to rewatch a couple of times as an adult and read about what went into making the film and script to fully understand it and be blown away. It's so deep yet it can be enjoyed a lot on a superficial level by any kid.
The original Matrix is a true legend, one of the greatest films of all times. The sequels were just average popcorn flicks. Thats why they suck in comparison.
+Sal Val Actually, it's completely the other way around. Of the three films, the first "Matrix" is the most stereotypical "action film" of them. Good guys are good, bad guys are bad, the protagonist embarks on the hero's journey, gains a mentor, finds true love, saves the day, the end. The sequels fly in the face of all of that, presenting challenging concepts and breaking traditional expectations of what sequels are supposed to be and do. The original Matrix is a Matrix unto itself...specifically the Matrix of the "Action Movie." With the sequels, the Wachowski's were attempting to give audiences alternative experiences in the hopes of liberating them from that Matrix. And it didn't work. Why? Because most audiences just want their easily digestible, easy to follow 2 hour action romps. Hollywood is the Machine...and audiences are plugged in, being fed computer generated dream worlds "built to keep us under control." The first film is very deliberately made the way it is as a primer, to prepare audiences for thinking outside of the parameters of the movie screen, the digestible content, etc. Then in theory, once we were ready to go, they gave us that opportunity with the sequels. Except we didn't take it because "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" weren't just carbon copies of the first film. Or, more specifically, they were as traditional as the first one. Give them anything other than that like, say, "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" and it becomes too cerebral and complicated. So people would rather just dismiss them than try to understand or come to terms with them.
Chas Blankenship I liked the stories in the sequels, but I thought that they slacked on the visuals. You gotta at least maintain the standard the first set. I was against cgi characters until vet recently, it was obvious and poorly done. I literally groaned at the first big fight in the second movie with a dozen Agent Smiths, that's when I really thought that it just another Hollywood sequel and not a film like the first. The first one introduced the masses to an ancient philosophical topic that few fully envisioned before that, it's why do many people didn't understand it at first because it was such a would idea to them that they didn't even register it. I played video games so I got the virtual world thing pretty fast but others didn't.
@@chasblankenship697 I concur, great insight! The concept as to what machine is being rebelled against has been used and misused after the Matrix, you give the most direct one least tainted by conspiracy theorists over the years. By the third film I'd lost interest and I'll be reminded why, but I think it's been long enough to revisit the trilogy in its entirety. The lengthy, talky encounter with the 'Architect' somehow I remember being more significant than much of the action in the sequels.
The matrix was a great movie.. The second and third were also very good.. I think Keanu was perfect for this part, and his acting fit the part nicely. Gay nerds will always find some reason to bitch or complain or nit pick about.
guys, i LOVED your reviews and i wish you luck, you're GOOD! one thing about Neo being "slow" it is actually what makes me like the movie the most because makes it just a little more real.. imagine a normal guy discovering that nothing is what it seems and that he has to save the world, with no extra powers, but just the power of his own mind. takes a while uh.. damn good movie and im with you all the way.
Actually the ability of denying our impulses are what make us human. Animal don't have this ability, they just do what their instinct indicates. We all have impulses some are dark like killing someone but our consciousness overrules them, well in most cases anyway.
i suppose the fact that we can overcome our impulses to an extent distinguishes us from animals, yet at the same time the existence of them and our imperfect mastery of them also distinguishes us from machines
I freaking loved the sequels. I rememebr going house from scholl and watching everyday on the dvd player the last revolutions battle. They are amazing.
6:53 Next to the brilliant actress playing the Oracle, Gloria Foster, a woman everyone had liked as a schoolteacher, the boy with the spoon was great and well introduced. To me it was amusing after been grown up in a time when URI GELLER the type who had turned this trick into a hype had becamen famous.
20 years later that steak Cypher eats still makes my mouth water. Every time I see or eat a steak I’m always reminded of that scene with Cypher and Agent Smith
Its a crime that your channel hasn't gotten more viewers and subscribers than this. You guys have done stunning work. I've watched nearly video you have and my mind is about as blown as it is acceptable to be. please come back guys. its been too long.
One of my first teachers in film school was an editor who turned down this movie (April Lawrence). She was getting well know for commonly editing The Sopranos. She said the script just read like shit. Ended up becoming a teacher afterwards, so you can see what happens when you make a bad movie in this industry. Just shows you that the wachowski’s style is really what made the movie what it was.
I never had a problem reading Keanu's emotions in any of his movies. He's just much more subtle and contemplative. Maybe it's just the introvert in me speaking, but in my eyes, you don't need to make crazy faces to emote something clearly. (though his crying scene in John Wick was excellent).
The "coulda been this" scenes that start around 9:45 made me lol. Especially the Nick Cage scene with the bullets. lol. Good editing, that was clever.. haha
" To deny our impulses is to deny everything that makes us human" ~ How do we know that they are "our" impulses and not caused by something external that feels like it is us?
The second and third Matrix movies are a joy to watch and amazing sci-fi story telling. People forget that The Matrix is sci-fi and the next two movies are not action movies. They are genuine world building and confront the viewer with a Matrix world that goes beyond formulaic action (which they proved they can do with effortless perfection in The Matrix one) into a fully realized science fiction universe.
Keanu Reeves was the perfect choice for Neo. I have never ever in any way faulted his acting in The Matrix. Any quirks you may spot in his acting are not due to bad acting, but they are quirks of the character in the movie.
The matrix sequels are absolutely necessary for the whole story. If you know anything about philosophy, archetypes and mythology you would know it was going to be hugely successful. My all time favourites..
I cannot disagree more with anyone critical of Keanu in the 1st movie: he is perfect. His absolute 'WTF is going on' was perfect, and completely fit my reaction the first time I saw the movie. I don't think anyone else could have done it better.
I would have loved to have seen will Smith do this part honestly but actually liked keeanu in it. will just would taken it to another level. also like Nicholas..but those snippets of how it could have been with nick.....HILARIOUS!!!!!!
I partly attribute the popularity of the first movie to the alternative soundtrack featuring an aggressive, hard-hitting selection of metal and electronic music. Various classmates at the time lapped it right up. I remember 'Dark City' but watched it only after The Matrix was released; do not recall its soundtrack however!
Neo being emotionless for half the movie is PERFECT. How would you react if you got unplugged from the matrix and saw the world for what it is (Post apocalyptic) ? You'd be shocked. Speeches.
What I don’t understand is even if he was egoless during the acting how is that him as an actor if not the script and director told him to do so. In the devils advocate he had a ton of ego.

Keanu Reeves was and is the perfect cast for this particular role and the charakter I identified the most with. Why?

So to bash him with this old-fashioned, overused "Kenau is a bad/boring actor" phrase just shows your bigheaded incapability to witness sheer greatness in small but mighty details.
This comment is 3 years old and just gets more appropriate year on year. Really well said.
Will smith was chosen for the role and his response when shown the concept of bullet time was "what the fuck". When they showed it to Keanu, he thought it was the best thing he's ever heard. Right then and there you can see who has vision and and the intellectual insight.
i couldnt agree more. ;) hes a consantreted acter. commited. love the keeanus. hes awsome.
The first time I watched the Matrix it blew my mind and sent a chill down my spine. Especially the scene where Neo lays eyes on the Fields on millions of people for the first time.

Not at all. Many, many popular movies were misunderstood completely but still enjoyable to watch. 12 monkeys for example. Or American Beauty. I didn't understand American Beauty at all when I first saw it at 16, nor did I understand the first Matrix when I saw it at 13 yet I still loved them.
The problem is they wrote shit screenplays. They didn't know how to properly communicate their ideas because they're become over-complicated and convoluted and what we ended up with was a complete mess.
Thats exaxtly why i didnt wanna watch the matrix at first, it was being marketed on the visuals and special effects, it wasnt untill 4 years later when i caught it on tv that i realized i had been sleeping on this movie, the deep philosophical themes was what hooked me on the matrix, not the kung fu and bullet time.
To love all 3 you must be in that small demographic of people who enjoy watching over the top action movie fight scenes AND having philosophical discussions. Not too many of us.
It makes sense through this

Hahaha that Nicolas Cage bullet dodge was excellent
I laughed so hard at 10:00 OMG thank you for that moment!

Imagine saying something like “Keanu isn’t that big of an actor” in 2019. I believe you’d get beat up for saying something like that.
Especially after John Wick.
This guy gets it

Bull Shit....Keanu RULES !!!
OwlCUlater Yeah, his acting here fits with the movie. And just check him out in The Gift. Let alone Bill & Ted :)
Absolutely .... And whoever says otherwise deserves to see a movie with Castor Troy as Neo
OwlCUlater WWW JOYOFSATAN COM
+whizgal851 Maybe its because Im drunk, but I think Nic Cage would've been fine as Neo. Or maybe its because I watched Face/Off about 50-100 times as a kid (that and Die Hard were the only two VHS my father owned).
Yes Bull where the plug is(look up the astrological man notice where Taurus the Bull OF Heaven is located), why BULL ET, the anti center of the galaxy, & the fact that Bulls don't see Red like red dress analogy or why Rothschild means Red shield or to act as a human shield. ET means alien to what I am describing is Neo seeing Green or the truth= able to DE Cipher get it Cypher or why LU CIFER as LU means LLI or not ILL but to Heal. They also use the Red Shield metaphor in Highlander along with losing your head cut off at the neck telling people that the creator of the red shield was the Highlander himself which is played by what actor... Lambert who was born where... Great Neck, funny eh as if this reality like in Matrix is already ai/artificial construct & if you have a good bit of knowledge you can decipher names etc. which provide program function. & as for "fighting" the Bull of Heaven came to help once before from what I "guess" but when he did he of course had to remove(fight) the red shields(people/programs acting as human shields) laying them to waste but when he did the population which begged for help attacked him calling him a monster, the devil, Lucifer so really this limits the realistic things people can hope for. OC~~~
I thought Keanu actually gave a really good performance in the first Matrix. Other than one or two lines I think he's great.
+mike salami yeah i don't even understnd that people would hate on him; he portrays his character very well. and also i lol'd at the part about will smith being a good actor. keanu is definitely better
+chopcooey Keanu is *better*?
well its a matter of preference but i don't really like will smith. i don't say keanu is objectively better than all of them for anything, but for matrix they did the best choice imo
chopcooey Well I guess it's personal opinion if you think will isn't a good actor. I think he's really good especially in movies like I Am Legend, Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness, Men in Black lol, etc. He's charismatic as well and his acting (I've noticed that even if the movie itself isn't that great for whatever reason) is *usually* given lots of praise from critics...Meh. I guess we don't see the same things and that's fine, I suppose. I just don't think it's fair to say he's objectively not "good" cause his performances usually do get good reviews, (and this is excluding my own opinion). He's been nominated for lots of awards: Golden Globes, Academy, Grammys even. Not that I think awards mean anything (cause Leo -cries-) but from actually reading what reviews say from professionals, it's pretty even across the board...
I cant imagine anyone else playing the roles of Neo, Morpheus, Trinity or Smith. I was even dissapointed when they replaced Tank in the sequels.
My parents got me a black leather trench coat after my obsession with The Matrix began lol
10:00 may be the funniest thing i have ever seen
But denying your own impulses which usually is lead by wanting to improve or change IS also something that makes us human. Animals live by their impulses and instinct to do what it takes to eat, sometimes feed their family and defend themselves along other things. So if anything it's what makes us animals. Humans have always tried to change. We hate change but we have always changed since the dawn of time. Whether it's evolution or wanting to live a better life. Moving to other lands, finding other foods, finding a better home, giving your family the best you can offer, etc.
Glab to be #TeamHuman #Change #Success ..
Most people do t like the sequels because it takes more time to explain than just action . They simply don't get all the rhetoric, semantics, and analogies. So here it is. All that is in existence is the matrix. You will never escape unless you die. The "one" is just a a way for those who are aware of the matrix, to feel as if they are making a difference. At the end everything restarted and the Oracle and architect discuss the "rules" of the new matrix saying that those who want to leave will be freed.
I personally loved the sequels. My favourite trilogy of all time as every time I see it I realise more and more about it that finally makes sense now. The second and third were much more serious yes, but I think that helped tie up the loose ends in the story. I loved them all! Though I do get your points.
Same.
The second and third movie had complex dialogue, but it required and made you think at a much deeper philosophical level, and i love using my brain and thinking outside the box. It went deeper into what this construct(matrix) is and i loved every min of it. The action was just added bonuses.
I don't think any of the three movies sucks but the reason why I think everyone loved the first movie so much, especially men is because this one is one big metaphor of life and society. It's about letting go of your current believe system and stepping into the unknown, finding out why we're here and living up to your true potential. Or you just stay in wonderland where everything looks good but is full of lies.
Once you're willing to accept that everything you know isn't true you'll die (metaphorically) and you'll be reborn, ready to see the world as it truly is, ready to make your own choices.
Perfectly right. I have Done this, since 1997:)
The original was a complete and perfect story. It had no need for sequals.
+Uncle Benja It also helps when the inspiration for the story is the legendary Plato.
the sequels cater for our human need of more and 1 is never enough
It really wasn't. The way they set it up and left it almost demanded a sequel. It closed itself out very well as a franchise
Nah the ending could've easily been left as just that - you don't really need to see Neo destroy every last machine or whatever, it's already shown that he has transcended the Matrix and now runs the show. His watering down in the sequels was only plot necessity
The sequels were all stupid
You made me laugh real loud when you made Nicolas Cage dodge those bullets!
10:00
the sequels were alot more serious than the first movie it seemed. also the wachowskis worked on 4 different projects at the same time: 2 movies, a video game, and an animated movie. so something had to give. nevertheless, reloaded is the highest grossing R movie unadjusted for inflation.
We discuss this creative overload in our analysis videos. But in our opinion, more time should have been allotted for the feature films, as they are the bigger of the two projects.
Also, box office numbers don't necessarily correlate to quality film. In this case, the first film had MAJOR cultural impact, so naturally the sequel would have a massive viewing. However, once Reloaded was released, Revolutions didn't do so hot box office-wise.

Fun fact: when Carrie Ann Moss is saying, "oh no oh no", it's because she just broke her ankle. She was actually so scared that she couldn't do the movie, she lied saying everything was okay and did the rest of the movie with that broken ankle. It wasn't until afterwards that the producers found out.
Awesome! Do you have a source for that, like an interview? Thanks for sharing.
John Conway It was on IMDb trivia section.
She didn't break her ankle she only twisted it... Watch the making of the matrix video
bostonmillertv Oh was it twisted? I knew something with her ankle went wrong

*_To Deny our own Impulses is to Deny the very thing that makes us Human_* ...
Thank you for pointing out one of the truest things ever spoken & I couldn't agree more! 👍🏼
Hm. In retrospect, given the directors went full trans-sexual with operations et al, I have to say that line is horribly ill-fitting for anyone who wishes to NOT be a slave to inner compulsions, and who actually realizes that ALL behavior is a CHOICE, not some irresistible force beyond our control.
Wrong. To deny can be after careful consideration, experience or lessons learned from other people's experience, also known as wisdom. So, unless you think people should NOT deny their impulses related to things liek road rage, sexual assault, or murder, then failing to deny impulses is or invites Nihilism.
it is well to consider your impulses and imagine where they come from to where they may lead and perhaps your impulse is to gain more freedom but it may also be some addiction to something that wears your down too much... you at least need to discover what you need and why you want
Yet giving in to every natural impulse we have makes us more like animals, or even machines. No conscience, no morals, etc. Being human is about thinking and reasoning, then making a decision to say or do one thing or another.
you had me at "who are you and why are you in my house" as a movie opinion =)))))
Padurariu Catalin Same here! Completely out of nowhere, didn't see that coming LOL

"There's no spoon!"

Iamyouonlydifferent if you focus on bending the spoon on psychdelics the world will bend, not the spoon.
That scene was about freeing your mind and seeing it as more than just a spoon m.czcams.com/video/LGuac6XUWWc/video.html
I never got why people hated the sequels so much but when i heard what was their reason i immediately realised its one of those people... yea... you know those types who just have nothing better to do than brag how wrong it was when they actually have no other way how to conclude it or express it - so instead of actually saying - Yea it was good - it just missed this or that, they simply say " SUCKED " so basically from people who don't have legit reasons why they don't like something, we should automatically just ignore and do not even take it as part of rating cause that also has bad impact on those who have more intelligence to actually take a moment and think about what is wrong and what is not before judging...
Conclusion = Amazing trilogy, not for everyone, but definitely well made and original unique movie : )
+Mark Johnson The original Matrix was made with pure love, blood sweat and tears. It has a soul of its own. The sequels.... just pale imitations. But here's a more rational explanation, from a filmmaking perspective - the sequels fail because they cannot stand on their own. A great film must have a self contained story, climax, and resolution. The second film completely fails in this regard, cliffhanger endings DO NOT WORK in cinema. The third film, slightly better, but still relies too much on the previous films and does not have a life of its own. THE MATRIX can stand on its own. But what if Revolutions was the only film in the trilogy... would it even make any sense? Try viewing each film without the existence of the others, and you can plainly see how strong (or weak) they are.
I didn't like the final film at first. Because I didn't innerstand the point they were making. From my studies I saw it as an omnist theatrical. The examples of duality with agent smith and neo, the hero conquering his enemy in the real world and having to sacrifice his self for the greater good. Agent smith blew up at the end because his karma was nomore, his purpose was no longer. Neo laying as a cyborg going back to the celestial source.
Wow I love how you came to that conclusion I can really see your line of reasoning (:
What the hell dude
Nicholas cage as the priest bobbing his head at the bullet stop scene had me pissing my pants
I don't know if you guys still keep up with this channel but I'm still watching these analyses 10 years later. It did take like half an hour to actually find the video again because of the algorithm but I swear it was worth it. Waiting years for the revolutions video was worth it. Can't wait to revisit all these again. Hope you know you continuous make a die hard Matrix fan happy even after all these years
I'll defend Reeves casting for the same reasons given in this video. I think it ultimately works. I think Will Smith wouldn't have worked as the naive confused and conflicted Neo.
Numinous20111 will is so illumanti
They almost cast Sean Connery as Morpheus. Thank God he didn't like the movie plot. He didn't understand it at all.
Physically and energetically, Keanu fits in with the cool, sleek aesthetic of the film. He was perfect for the role. This movie wasn't about Oscar worthy acting (although the acting has to be solid of course), it was about story and thematic material.
"Out of all the Philosophical lines in the movie, this would be my favorite"...
...
Mine too! SO much so, that I sampled it & used it in a song I'd written called "Impulse"
...
Years later, I was in Sydney at a club called Q-bar & who should I be introduced to, but Matt Doran - the guy who plays "Mouse" in the 1st Matrix movie. I told him how I'd sampled him in the movie for my song & he seemed confused - I think he didn't consider the line to be very "noteworthy"... :)
If Keanu is such a bad actor, then why is he cast in so many movies? You have to understand that Keanu properly acts as a surfer type. There were several in my high school (early eighties) that had that distant type of "two worlds at one time" look on their face, and this is one of the reasons he is widely accepted in the mainstream. I would be glad to introduce you to the real "Mr. Anderson." Point Break "looks" like a surf movie on the surface, however it is brilliant political satire, combined with symbols of the economy of the time. The bank robberies were happening during the S&L crisis, and if you saw it in the theater at the time, you might understand the subtle commentary it was on the political and business environment of the late eighties/early nineties.
I like the Matrix sequels because it looked like they were accomplishing something in real life (unless you believe the "Zion is just another virtual world" theory). Something about the conclusion of the first Matrix movie was frustrating and the opposite of cathartic. I think the story in Metal Gear Solid 2 illustrates why the end of Matrix 1 felt like a false victory
My whole world was blown away when I saw & heard the sound of the metallic liquid mercury going down Neo's throat,
when he awoke inside the bubble I was no longer the same person I was when I first walked into that movie theatre.
ANOTHER INTERESTING CZcams WHO MAKES AMAZING VIDEOS AND THIS IS 3 YEARS OLD? There's way to much quality content on this site. I hate that I miss so much.
Just subbed with that one joke alone: Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?
Nic Cage dodging bullets made my day :D
1:09 "Who are you and why are you in my house." :P Nice touch. :)
The Will Smith and Nic Cage cuts were absolutely brilliant.
Omg. I just died laughing at the Castor Troy as Neo scene. I will never look at that scene the same.
"tchouuuum", I'm sorry, i'm allergic to bullshit" you rrrrrrrrrrrrrock Will Smith!!!
I was lmao at 10:00 where Cage avoids the bullets hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Both scenes (Will's and Cage's) reaaaaally made my day!!!!!!!!
The most amazing thing about the Matrix is that it wasn't a one-off enjoyable experience. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has watched the Matrix over 10 times, and it just doesn't get boring or dull on multiple viewings
So here's what we learned for all you aspiring story tellers:
Taught script that contains
- a perfectly paced plot
- identifiable characters
- strong tension throughout
Yo, that nick cage matrix scene edit was GOLD.
guys, I JUST found this after rewatching the trilogy for the first time in a LONG time and I was LOLing and enjoying all these videos... PLEASE FINISH REVOLUTIONS!!!!
Oh hell the Nic Cage scene you put together has me in fkn tears man LMAO
First time I saw matrix wallpaper, I thought I’d be seeing another American action movie, which I loved by the way. But after the cinema i was in another universe, my mind was blown away!! It was beyond an action cinema movie. It is the only movie that truly made me question some of my actions that were holding me back at the time. Such as weed and alcohol.
those Will Smith and Cage cuts were top notch
This may be the best movie analysis video on CZcams
Keep in mind (and I'm sure you point this out in the other videos) that the sequels unfortunately were taken over by Warner Bros.. They had more control over it. I mean, both sequels came out in the same year within a span of 6 months. They filmed both at the same time leaving The Wachowskis to not be able to be fully involved in both especially since they weren't all filmed in the same country. It was physically impossible for them to be at both places. Remember they had 5 years after the script was already done to change things and make it better. The others were pretty much rushed in comparison. The first film uses religion, philosophy, life and so much more. I had to rewatch a couple of times as an adult and read about what went into making the film and script to fully understand it and be blown away. It's so deep yet it can be enjoyed a lot on a superficial level by any kid.
The original Matrix is a true legend, one of the greatest films of all times. The sequels were just average popcorn flicks. Thats why they suck in comparison.
+Sal Val Actually, it's completely the other way around.
Of the three films, the first "Matrix" is the most stereotypical "action film" of them. Good guys are good, bad guys are bad, the protagonist embarks on the hero's journey, gains a mentor, finds true love, saves the day, the end.
The sequels fly in the face of all of that, presenting challenging concepts and breaking traditional expectations of what sequels are supposed to be and do.
The original Matrix is a Matrix unto itself...specifically the Matrix of the "Action Movie."
With the sequels, the Wachowski's were attempting to give audiences alternative experiences in the hopes of liberating them from that Matrix.
And it didn't work.
Why?
Because most audiences just want their easily digestible, easy to follow 2 hour action romps.
Hollywood is the Machine...and audiences are plugged in, being fed computer generated dream worlds "built to keep us under control."
The first film is very deliberately made the way it is as a primer, to prepare audiences for thinking outside of the parameters of the movie screen, the digestible content, etc. Then in theory, once we were ready to go, they gave us that opportunity with the sequels.
Except we didn't take it because "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" weren't just carbon copies of the first film. Or, more specifically, they were as traditional as the first one.
Give them anything other than that like, say, "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" and it becomes too cerebral and complicated. So people would rather just dismiss them than try to understand or come to terms with them.
Chas Blankenship I liked the stories in the sequels, but I thought that they slacked on the visuals. You gotta at least maintain the standard the first set. I was against cgi characters until vet recently, it was obvious and poorly done. I literally groaned at the first big fight in the second movie with a dozen Agent Smiths, that's when I really thought that it just another Hollywood sequel and not a film like the first. The first one introduced the masses to an ancient philosophical topic that few fully envisioned before that, it's why do many people didn't understand it at first because it was such a would idea to them that they didn't even register it. I played video games so I got the virtual world thing pretty fast but others didn't.
@@chasblankenship697 I concur, great insight! The concept as to what machine is being rebelled against has been used and misused after the Matrix, you give the most direct one least tainted by conspiracy theorists over the years.
By the third film I'd lost interest and I'll be reminded why, but I think it's been long enough to revisit the trilogy in its entirety. The lengthy, talky encounter with the 'Architect' somehow I remember being more significant than much of the action in the sequels.
The matrix was a great movie.. The second and third were also very good.. I think Keanu was perfect for this part, and his acting fit the part nicely. Gay nerds will always find some reason to bitch or complain or nit pick about.
That Face Off edit was gold
guys, i LOVED your reviews and i wish you luck, you're GOOD! one thing about Neo being "slow" it is actually what makes me like the movie the most because makes it just a little more real.. imagine a normal guy discovering that nothing is what it seems and that he has to save the world, with no extra powers, but just the power of his own mind. takes a while uh.. damn good movie and im with you all the way.
Actually the ability of denying our impulses are what make us human. Animal don't have this ability, they just do what their instinct indicates. We all have impulses some are dark like killing someone but our consciousness overrules them, well in most cases anyway.
i suppose the fact that we can overcome our impulses to an extent distinguishes us from animals, yet at the same time the existence of them and our imperfect mastery of them also distinguishes us from machines
I freaking loved the sequels. I rememebr going house from scholl and watching everyday on the dvd player the last revolutions battle. They are amazing.
the matrix is probably the most quoted movie by lecturers on quantum physics , philosophy. meditations, and spiritual growth
6:53 Next to the brilliant actress playing the Oracle, Gloria Foster, a woman everyone had liked as a schoolteacher, the boy with the spoon was great and well introduced. To me it was amusing after been grown up in a time when URI GELLER the type who had turned this trick into a hype had becamen famous.
Cage dodging bullets had me on the floor
Oh my God!!! The Nicohlas Cage version hahaha too funny
20 years later that steak Cypher eats still makes my mouth water.
Every time I see or eat a steak I’m always reminded of that scene with Cypher and Agent Smith
Its a crime that your channel hasn't gotten more viewers and subscribers than this. You guys have done stunning work. I've watched nearly video you have and my mind is about as blown as it is acceptable to be. please come back guys. its been too long.
One of my first teachers in film school was an editor who turned down this movie (April Lawrence). She was getting well know for commonly editing The Sopranos. She said the script just read like shit. Ended up becoming a teacher afterwards, so you can see what happens when you make a bad movie in this industry. Just shows you that the wachowski’s style is really what made the movie what it was.
Ok that Cage clip as Neo was pretty frikkin awesome!
I never had a problem reading Keanu's emotions in any of his movies. He's just much more subtle and contemplative. Maybe it's just the introvert in me speaking, but in my eyes, you don't need to make crazy faces to emote something clearly. (though his crying scene in John Wick was excellent).
Reloaded and Revolutions require eastern philosophical understandings. Nobody can appreciate them without it
The Nicolas Cage/Will Smith part was pretty awesome! Amazing!
this is by far my favorite video ive seen this year
this is what i call a '' great Analysis ''
"Who are you and why are you in my house"
Best part of the video
It's esoteric symbolism.
These movies explain a lot about the beginning of our time on earth
Nic Cage dodging bullets is epic
The "coulda been this" scenes that start around 9:45 made me lol. Especially the Nick Cage scene with the bullets. lol. Good editing, that was clever.. haha
We do live in a simulated world, it's the reason this movie resonates with people on a deep level 😊
This is by far the best "waste of time" I had in a while
I wasnt ready for that Nic Cage insert shot. Nice editing, you nearly killed me 😂
All 3 films serve their purpose and are all fantastic, one of the best trilogies top to bottom ever.
9:59 is officially my all time favorite youtube moment.
that nicholas cage scene was gold lmao
Simply amazing analysis! Come back to your analysis every year or so to keep it refreshed. I cannot wait for your thoughts on Matrix Resurrections.
Thanks so much! Currently writing a short opinion piece about it, there's a lot to unpack about Resurrections
I gotta admit, watching Nic Cage as N-N-Neo, could be frikkin awesome!
" To deny our impulses is to deny everything that makes us human" ~ How do we know that they are "our" impulses and not caused by something external that feels like it is us?
I totally lost it at the Nic Cage Castor Troy bullet stop lol
Hahahaha, yo that bit with Will & F*king Castro Troy!!! That was awesome
I loved the Matrix sequels, you just gotta pay attention to the story, then the whole thing is just brilliant
Really Reeves took what he learned from this film, sat on it, distilled it, fermented it and aged it into John Wick.
The second and third Matrix movies are a joy to watch and amazing sci-fi story telling. People forget that The Matrix is sci-fi and the next two movies are not action movies. They are genuine world building and confront the viewer with a Matrix world that goes beyond formulaic action (which they proved they can do with effortless perfection in The Matrix one) into a fully realized science fiction universe.
That "who are you and why are you in my house" line had me dyin.
Keanu Reeves was the perfect choice for Neo. I have never ever in any way faulted his acting in The Matrix. Any quirks you may spot in his acting are not due to bad acting, but they are quirks of the character in the movie.
Orgasmic stake, that killed me! lol, I thought I was the only one who thought about it like that.
The matrix sequels are absolutely necessary for the whole story. If you know anything about philosophy, archetypes and mythology you would know it was going to be hugely successful. My all time favourites..
I cannot disagree more with anyone critical of Keanu in the 1st movie: he is perfect. His absolute 'WTF is going on' was perfect, and completely fit my reaction the first time I saw the movie. I don't think anyone else could have done it better.
These edits are insane. Good work.
I lost it at “Caster Fucking Troy” 😂😂😂😂,
I would have loved to have seen will Smith do this part honestly but actually liked keeanu in it. will just would taken it to another level. also like Nicholas..but those snippets of how it could have been with nick.....HILARIOUS!!!!!!
I partly attribute the popularity of the first movie to the alternative soundtrack featuring an aggressive, hard-hitting selection of metal and electronic music. Various classmates at the time lapped it right up. I remember 'Dark City' but watched it only after The Matrix was released; do not recall its soundtrack however!
Lmfao that Castor Troy headbang bulletdodge was fantastic. You rocj
