The Oracle never told Neo that he's not The One. The whole point of that interaction is that in order for Neo to be The One, he must know for himself that he is The One. Great reaction to this timeless classic! 👍🏿
"Why do my eyes hurt?" "Because you've never used them before."
Such a great double meaning. When you start to really understand what is happening in the world, it hurts your brain.
“Because you've been down there,Neo. You already know that road. You know exactly where it ends. And I know that’s not where you want to be.”
I’m glad you kept this scene, I think it’s an underrated and powerful line in the movie. Great reaction 👌🏼
I don’t think it’s Trinity’s kiss that brings Neo back to life. It’s more that she reminds him that ‘there is no spoon.’
Bcs lov is a fake concept? :D
@@FlexStudioPL Do you believe in God?
Love is the same concept.
@@michaeladams7102 not the same concept, god was invented by humans to control other humans, love is not control, not real love 😎
@@joaogomez5648 humans did not create,l God. God is the creator and humans are the creation.
according to the wasabi brothers who stole and made this movie , there is no gender
18:58 Observe that Morpheus did this jump _without_ taking a running _start._ He just trotted up to the ledge and _leaped..._ and _flew._
So when Neo backed up and took a running start, that showed that he hadn't _gotten_ it, yet.
Super smart reaction! You picked up all the nuances and asked all the right questions. This is also one of the best edited MATRIX reactions I’ve seen here. Thanks and keep up the good work! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow, thank you so much🙏🏼😁
@@journeymariereacts Hey this was a great reaction. One big eye opener of how the worlds orchestrators designed a world to keep the masses asleep. I have a special request the movie "They Live" a movie that's similar to The Matrix I would love for you to react to that movie if you have time. Please and Thank you!!
"No lieutenant your men are already dead". That line and the scene that follows is just badass af.
I saw this opening night in 1999 and I had a lot of the same reactions you did. You've got a new sub
Thanks for the sub!
“Unfortunately no one can be told what The Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself” -Morpheus
I think it’s hilarious that these kids think 1999 is a long time ago 🤦♂️🤣
It kinda is
Great review! The Matrix is a classic
Please do more movie reviews in the future. You're a natural
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed🙏🏼
I've seen a number of your reactions and each time I'm blown away by how insightful you are. You've caught things in movies that I've missed even though I've seen them dozens of times. Great movie and great reaction.
Wow that means a lot thank you!! I’m glad you enjoy my videos😁🙏🏼
Great movie!! Great reaction!! Remember seeing this in the theater back in 1999 and being blown away. Saw it with a couple of friends, who took hallucinogenics prior to the movie and I swear I can almost feel their brains explode, especially during those bullet dodging scenes. Good times!! The sequels are definitely worth a watch.
Yes, the visuals in The Matrix were groundbreaking in 1999. I'm very impressed by your reaction! You are very insightful and intuitive. At times you even predicted lines from the movie. Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very intelligent! Super impressed honestly. You sussed the concept immediately. Great jon.
I am enjoying watching you! Very refreshing so thanks and congrats
Awesome, thank you!
I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I can see in this society that we do go around in our lives sleeping. Letting other external things control us, E.g. social media, the media etc…But I always loved how this movie articulated this
" Now he can actually see the matrix". What a mind-blowing way to put it, girl!
29:56 "Dodge this."
the most badass line in the movie.
Everyone says "Oh, it was Trinity's kiss that brought him back."
It wasn't. Trinity already knew that he wasn't dead and she even said so.
Her kiss may have awakened him but she knew he was still alive.
I saw this in the theater when I was 18, and when Neo touched the mirror and woke up, it blew my mind! 🤯
Great reaction homegirl!! Keep doing wat u do!!! Peace!!
Thank you!!
This movie was so unique when it first came out ☯️ And the pop culture references to this movie went on for years and years 🤣
There were commercials that sampled this movie for years and are still doing it. I cannot remember which dealer, but there is a car commercial that uses the scene where the racks of guns show up for Neo and Trinity.
-The sequels are notoriously dissappointing, but still worth seeing. The second one has a twelve minute long action/VFX set piece that sustains intensity and continues to keep showing you something new and scary and eye-popping and mind-blowing longer than just about any other sequence ever filmed.
-They made the allegory of false reality accessible in a way that anyone who has been gaslighted by society about anything can relate to. There's all sorts of things "everybody knows" or assumes-is-true that we learn is false as we grow up, and often someone somewhere benefits from that delusion and pro-actively perpetuates it. Advertising, propaganda, stereotypes, gender roles, or even learning there's no Santa Claus, we've all experienced mass gaslighting of some nature. The Wachowskis wrote the Matrix inspired by their own experience as trans women. At the time they made the movies they had not transitioned publicly and were known as "The Wachowski Brothers" but after revealing this interviews, they are now simply called "The Wachowskis"
-The character "Switch" was supposed to change genders between The Matrix and the "real" world. This apparently was too much for the studio back in 1999
-They were comic book writers. Producer Joel Silver didn't really get their head-trippy tech-babble guru script but was convinced to greenlight their project based on concept art and storyboards they got their comic book artist buddies to do for them. Much of the look of the squids, the ship, and the endless bullet casings in the shootouts are signatures of artist Geoff Darrow ("Hardboiled"1990 with Frank Miller (Sin City, 300)
-As much futuristic science fiction tech fetishization is involved in this movie, the concept of the fake reality is not new. It actually goes back to "The Allegory of The Cave" that Socrates came up with in *380BC.* The idea is that if you are born in a cave, cannot escape and have no contact with the outside world, that is your whole reality. If someone from the outside world, out of your field of view, casts shadows on the wall for you to see, they can make you believe any reality they want. If you ever get free and see the outside world, you will probably panic and retreat to the comfort of your dark, familar, cave. And then the book Neo hides his contraband software in is French philosopher Jean Beudriallard 's Simulacra and Simulation" (1981)
-The classic Star Trek episode "Spectre of The Gun" (1968) has the team trapped in a simulation of the Wild West. Just like in this movie, they realize if they can convince themselves none if it is real, the bullets can't hurt them.
-In a classic Dr Who episode "The Deadly Assassin" (1976) he gets trapped in a simulated reality in a computer that they actually call a "Matrix"
-The 80's anime Megazone 23 (parts one and two, 1985) is another story about false reality that this movie franchise shares a lot of imagery with, including the mechs vs robot-squids aesthetic.
-Science fiction writer Phillip K Dick wrote a lot of stories of the nature of identity, memory, and reality, that inspired several of the best classic sci-fi movies from the 80's-2010's including Blade Runner and BR 2049, Total Recall (1990), and Minority Report.
-The "Ghost in the Shell" movie from 1995 deals a lot with VR and simulated reality and is the inspiration for a lot of The Matrix's look including the green pallette, the code, and the way a lot of the action is staged and shot. The Wachowskis were also fans of Hong Kong action movies including John Woo "gun-fu" movies ("Hardboiled" 1991, different from the Geoff Darrow comic, and "Face/Off" 1997) and wuxia fantasy kung-fu movies. They hired Yuen Woo Ping, the choreographer of a lot of the most popular wuxia movies at the time like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000)
-The YEAR BEFORE The Matrix came out "Dark City" and "The Truman Show" presented similar themes and ideas. "Dark City" somewhat conincidentally shares a lot of the Matrix's plot points and visual aesthetic, and The Matrix's production even recycled some of Dark City's sets. And then the SAME year as The Matrix, David Cronenberg's "Existenz" played with a lot of the same ideas.
-Recent/current TV shows worth checking out are HBO's "Westworld" and Amazon Prime's "The Peripheral"
-You should watch and do reactions for Blade Runner, Total Recall and everything I else mentioned after that. (Megazone is a deep cut - dubbed versions of them are on CZcams, easy enough to find and worth sitting through for hardcore 80's anime fans. But *definitely* see "Ghost in the Shell" and it's even-better sequel "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" (2004)
“Switch” sounds more like a computer term. The sequels are masterpieces and it all compromises a single story.
The MATRIX has a trilogy, I think 3 more.., like to see your reaction.
My favorite franchise of all time. To get the back story morpheus was talking about, you could watch annimatrix. It talks about the human and ai relationship before the war.
i wish i was a teenager in the early 90's. But i got to stay in the present.
31:48 "not the newspaper blowing in the wind!" 🙂
"That's probably the worst kind of prison. The prison you don't know is a prison."
Or the prison you know is a prison that no one else can tell is a prison.
34:26 "he's not even trying." 😆
31:42 "it's gonna be a crazy fight."
yes
There's also the Animatrix which explains all the history and backstory. It was released between Matrix 2 and 3. There's also a few games that expand the mythos but good luck finding a copy or server. Lol😅
24:01 "Come on, Morpheus."
He had no hope of winning. He explained this earlier. No human being has yet existed that could go toe to toe with an Agent and win. He did this to buy Trinity the time _she_ would need to help get _Neo_ to safety.
Let me tell you something. One of the things I really feel sorry for youth today is that they will never be able to experience the types of theater reactions we were able to experience. Everything is already spoiled beforehand these days because of the internet and social media.
Back when The Matrix premiered, we knew very little about what to expect. The trailer basically just asked the question "What is the Matrix?" and showed Neo doing the bullet time dodge. That was pretty much it. So when we got in that theater and saw this movie here?? I can still remember being in a sold out theater and the crowd reaction. Especially at the end when Neo fully becomes "The One", stops the bullets and and punks Agent Smith's attacks like "Bruh. Please." When he turned to the side and was blocking everything with one hand and the other behind his back, the crowd literally jumped to their feet like "Ooohhhhh!!!" It was one of the most memorable theater experiences of my life and I saw all the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Terminator, Alien and Rocky movies in theaters. And yes....all the MCU movies too. The Matrix still stands out in my mind as one of the best crowd reacting experiences and will never be replicated. Kind of sad to think about.
When you get to the scene with The Architect in the next movie, the mind blowing depth of the story will be revealed. The ride is far from over.
@Journey Marie Reacts - You really need to see the sequels: "Matrix: Reloaded" and then after that, "Matrix: Revolutions". They are just as good as the first one in my opinion - but in different ways. They flesh out the story and Neo's true purpose. This is my favorite trilogy of all time ! You will enjoy the sequels as well !
26:44 "There is another organism on this planet that... follows the same path."
What Agent Smith has just described is behavior that applies to _every_ organism on Earth. _Every_ organism moves to an area where it can survive and consumes resources and grows until the environment imposes _limitations_ on it.
If Trinity didn’t confess her love for Neo, then he would have died.
Her confession fulfilled the Prophecy.
My favorite movie love the video Marie stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
this is a trilogy. Be sure to watch the next 2
Watched this movie a few hours before new years eve 1999 so that was my kiss goodbye to the 90s haha i love this movie
Welcome to the MATRIX...
By your intro I knew this would be an awesome reaction, thx for sharing.
Thank you🙏🏼glad you enjoyed😁
BRAVO!😊 just subscribed to your channel based on your reaction to The Matrix.!! Thank you 4 being you, for being so insightful; & understanding concepts that were presented. Most reactors coment on the FX & Cinematography. Great reaction, keep going & growing. 😊
Wow, thank you! & welcome to the channel🙏🏼😁
First 😝. one of the best movies ever
If you haven't seen them already, Alien and Aliens, The Terminator and Terminator 2, and Predator are great movies... also Avatar
You are a character in a huge, sophisticated computer game. A simulation. That's the Matrix. We live in a simulation.
One of the deeper aspects of this movie is that "Mr. Anderson" is only ever refered to as Neo by those who actually care about him - the name he chose for himself.
(It undeniably belongs to the full story that the writers/directors (twin siblings) went through gender-transitions shortly after making this film, and they have voiced displeasure to the red/blue-pill symbolism being coopted by the far-right - obv, the story is much bigger, but ultimately about a hero who saves the world, by fully accepting that they are The One - or as the Oracle puts it: Know yourself)
17:29 love your laugh!! 😆❤️🏆
Thank you!! I appreciate that😁
I've watched MANY reactions to this movie maybe hundreds and it was during your reaction that it hit me when he said " have you ever had a dream that you were convinced is so real" all of my dreams I think they're real when I'm experiencing them ( I don't get them often anymore probably lack of sleep). I think we should pay attention to AI and make sure it's under control or end it all together. We have been subtlety swayed towards computer tech and our guards aren't up. In the wrong hands AI can be dangerous or even worse AI sees us like the agents in this movie do as a virus. Depressed humans may side with AI like that human fool did on Transformers 3.
AI could be reading my damn comment right now
Great reaction it was very genuine.😎
I was at the perfect age for this and was into that type of stuff... but I never got into it either. I always thought it was goofy. It's like a movie they made to showcase new CGI
The original title of the Matrix was called the Third Eye created by a black woman. It symbolizes when you open your third eye chakra, you start to see the world for what it really is. You also begin to understand that you have the power to manipulate your reality through your thoughts, actions and words. You can manifest anything you want. Your spiritual talents come online such as telepathy, telekinesis, astral projection and more.
full length watch-a-long reactions on patreon, please and thank you 😎
In the movie, the oracle. her name is sophia stewart. she wrote the matrix in her book "the 3rd eye". as well as the movie, the terminater with arnold swartznegger. Hollywood stole her idea and put these movies out. she sued and won a couple hundred million a few years ago.
No court said Sophia Stewart wrote the Matrix or Terminator.
She didn't win anything.
There is too much real shit going on to bother with lies.
In April 2003, Sophia Stewart filed a legal complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging that the idea of The Matrix (and the 1984 film The Terminator) were plagiarized from her own film treatment titled "The Third Eye". The court allowed the lawsuit to move forward in 2005, but Stewart did not attend the hearing. In a 53-page ruling, Judge Margaret Morrow dismissed the case, stating that Stewart and her attorneys "had not entered any evidence to bolster its key claims or demonstrated any striking similarity between her work and the accused directors' films."
I did my first paper on this back in grade 9 English 📝 13:44 and that was my thesis in which I ended up getting an A 😅 this movie was not only a “wealth of knowledge;” but a documentary.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb (H7358) I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
H7358 rechem = womb, matrix
I only recently discovered your channel but I love it! You have great intuition and intelligence and I love your perception! This reaction is so great because you figured things out so quickly (even though you doubted yourself) when I've seen so many others not get this movie until near the end. I'm on board with you❤
Oh wow thank you!! I really appreciate that🙏🏼the support & kind words mean a lot😊
I'm here for your journey! 😆😁
I saw it on big screen in 99. And I somehow miss the "old times". No Internet, no trailer, most of the audience were completely unprepared. And stunned. But I´m even that old that I know it´s a remake of Rainer Werner Fassbinders "World on a Wire" from 1973. If you ever read Foucault or especially Baudrillard (two french philosophers) you will know where all this crazy concepts come from.
16:25 He's a _supporting_ character and a rather small part, but I really liked Tank. His absence in the sequels is conspicuous, but this actor, Marcus Chong, did one of the _dumbest_ things imaginable in _contract_ negotiations. He threatened the Wachowskis. That's why he's not there. I guess Tank is smarter than Marcus.
The biggest shock for me when finally watching the film last year - as a kid I dropped it cause of the bug scene - was that he actually got shot during the bullet dodging scene 😂.
One of the many facets of this film is the analogy to religion. Morpheus is John the Baptist, who absolutely recognizes Jesus as the Savior, “the one,” and firmly believes in him. He does this so much that when Neo's (temporary) demise he even questions the reality of "it can't be!". The Wacholskys have portrayed the resurrection exactly as it did in the old films, and did so in a masterful way: when the prophecy is fulfilled and Neo is resurrected, Morpheus answers the question "how?" with "he is the one" and the orchestra and choir sound in fortissimo. All facets of a film, visual, script-related and musical, are at their peak and give you goosebumps. Afterwards it is shown how Neo can no longer be harmed by the worldly things. Finally, he defeats physics by flying into the sky - another, if merely symbolic, analogy to the Gospel.
Really smart and cute ^^ Love your smile.
Great reaction though.
Thank you! 😃
You do have exceptional reactions and a new subscriber! You asked several times how someone could think this up ... Philosophy was one of my majors in college and there was a 16th Century Philosopher who asked how we knew whether anything was real, as opposed to an Illusion. It's exploring the question of what can be known - Epistemology. This was a great debate for centuries, leading to Descartes' famous saying: "I think, therefore I am." Meaning the only thing he could prove and know for certain was his own existence.
Today - the Matrix is a metaphor for the false reality put forward by the Rulers to control the Masses. Plato spoke about this thousands of years ago - look up "The Noble Lie" and Plato's "allegory of the Cave"
People who swallow the red pill has become a metaphor for those who see through "Noble Lies" sold to the masses by the Rulers. These people pose a danger to the rulers and are derided as "conspiracy theorists" - Declassified documents trace the weaponization of that phrase to a CIA memo invented to deride those who believed JFK was not killed by a lone assassin, but rather by conspiracy of CIA and Pentagon. And there are many other examples of seeing through the Lies - seeing through the Matrix.
Anyway - keep up the good reactions! I loved your Casablanca and John Wick. I recommend you do "Queens Gambit" - 100% Rotten Apples approval.
I loveee queens gambit! I’ve played chess with my dad most my life so I really enjoyed it. & thanks for subbing, I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos🙏🏼 & also thanks for that background & lesson in philosophy lol, I appreciate it!
19:38 you do such a great job of making eye contact. 👍🏼
When the guns are revealed under the coat: a scream-laugh?
The special effects, here, were _groundbreaking._ And they were turned to the end of telling an incredible _story._ Now there are _two_ other movies in this series in which the special effects are, in fact, orders of magnitude _better,_ but it doesn't help the story. I have gotten the impression the Wachowskis were cajoled into making _those_ because they had _already_ signed away the rights to the original storyline and the studio threatened to make them _anyway_ but make them someone _else's_ project; someone they got the impression would probably not to justice to the _original._
The whole trilogy is a single story. Please, accept you didn't understand the story.
Really good matrix review, you were right on top of everything.
Thank you!!
My second favorite movie!!!
Played the game when I was younger it was so raw 😂
Technically, Plato came up with the concept thousands of years ago (coz you asked who thought of this)
29:39 yes, this is the part that you "...the famous part." 👍🏼
nearly 10000 - well done
Nice one, JM! 😃
The Matrix trilogy are based on eastern mysticism, European philosophy and biblical mythology and prophecy of a messiah. If desired, watch the 9 animatrix short films.
Matrix Reloaded next :)
We ARE in the Matrix. All the metaphors are the same! I have watched a few of your reactions so far, I appreciate that although you're fairly young, you have a wise understanding, and you pick up on the subtle hints very quickly. It's refreshing!
Thanks for that!
Checkout fight club and Ghost Dog starring the great Forrest whitaker
Great reaction. You were really on top of it. No flies on you. The only thing I would say is that try to see it not quite so literally. Yes it's a great story about how AI could ultimately control mankind but the real story is about spiritual awakening. Look at all the names and religious connections. The truth is we are already in the matrix. We live our lives through our minds that have been conditioned throughout our lives. But behind all the conditioning lies our true selves. Many spiritually enligtened beings from the past and in present day have transcended our physical world to realise our true nature.
Way ahead of it´s time and still impressive today. Loved your reaction.♥
Thank you so much!!
You're an absolute star
Marie, there is a Movie, an underated masterpiece, that came a few years before the Matrix ( in my opinion it is far superior.) It's really what the Matrix imitated. DARK CITY, far more a visual and dramatic work of Art, where the matrix is all tech. It would be worth your while to check it out!! " Ignorance is Bliss", you beat the dialogue, again. Sharp girl!
Hi, just to tell you all that the best part of the movie comes after seeing it. Day by day you will realize that this is totally real. Enjoy 😎✌
Great reaction vid. I also love the shirt. Do you think you’ll react to a tv series?
New subscriber here🙋🏿♂️
Thank you & thanks for the sub🙏🏼& maybe, I’m not sure yet
imo Matrix 2 is better. Why? Because Neo (and us) don't have to spend 1/2 the movie figuring it out plus there's a 30 minute non-stop action sequence over multiple locations that is epic greatness
Neo --> rearrange letters --> One
just think of all of us, watching this in 1999, getting our mind fucked... even today, this is a crazy movie, that's STILL fucking with the mind, of the ones watching it, for the first time...
You got to watch every matrixs
Your t-shirt is Dope ! 👚🔥
Thanks 💯
this my fav romance movie
11:38😱🤯
It's the kiss and the I love you... remember he should be able to hear from the seat, since he isn't in that liquid.
this is where the red pill blue pill metaphor came from for political stances , red pilled people are based and not asleep
If you choose the red pill then you should get into politics.
On to the sequels!
The spoon does not exist!
When I watch movies people get annoyed because I guess the whole movie, and you did the same thing. 😆😆😆(spelling errors are google's fault 😝)
WOW.. you picked it up quick, early in the movie;..are you the ONE??..NIA???... 😂 😂
😂😂😂
React to Rihanna live in Manchester- umbrella.
I suggest the movie -Radio starring Ed Harris & Cuba Gooding Jr…… a good emotional film.
I’ve seen that one, really good movie👌🏻
@@journeymariereacts A reaction to Mel Brooks Hilarious movie - Blazing Saddles would be great.
Look up Sophia Stewart.
Hey @journeymarie this was a great reaction. One big eye opener of how the worlds orchestraters designed a world to keep the masses asleep. I have a special request the movie "They Live" a movie that's similar to The Matrix I would love for you to react to that movie if you have time. Please and Thank you!!
