In cinema, British accent = Superior sophistication, intimidation, leadership qualities and therefore, EVIL! Because they sound smart it's automatically sinister... "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to _die."_
I have been looking for this movie for the past 10 years but I never knew what it was called. I only remembered it from a memory and for a while I thought it was the matrix but it’s not!!! Thank god I found it. I’ll be able to sleep now
Dark City was the elder brother of the Matrix. A savior of humanity wakes up to fight the oppressor, be it machine or energetic aliens. Check this comparison of the two movies: czcams.com/video/moW17YHl6B8/video.html
yup! ....they both had the same themes of questioning reality and if we were in a simulation designed by a superior but non-human intelligence with our memories wiped,.. do humans have reality testing instincts that would eventually lead us to figure it out? ...and i say, thats hollywood magic. I believe there is a possibility we live in a simulation but any intelligence sophisticated enough to put us in it in the first place would reasonably be also intuitive enough about human behavior to design a sim that would not be beyond our intellect to discover but alien to our nature to accept. Even the sharpest of us are far too wrapped up in ourselves to see beyond the constructs that we ourselves voluntarily live in to survive.
Que. It reminded me of Que like an actor aware of their role. (These beings are a lot like Archons and as they see themselves maybe as script makers and directors).
The alien child makes me think of the little girl off the 1980s Dune. The wierdness of this movie kind of makes me think that David Lynch had a part in helping it.
the Stranger's dialogue is odd. Its made known that the human can tune but dont know how thats possible, and mr Hand only offers "Sometimes they act erratic" which equates waking up with extraordinary powers as a rare but not unheard of quirk. Mr Book then states that its critical to find and capture Murdock, but his plan is to send just 4 strangers to search the entire city while the rest of them , i dont know, go back to working the assembly line of forged documents and random nick-nacks...
One of the most underrated Sci-fi films of the 90s! A cult classic! Alex Proyas also made The Crow with Brandon Lee (R.I.P) also a cult classic! Now they are remaking The Crow with Bill Skarsgard in the main role, I hope they will not remake this at the very least, this film stands on it's own and if you do want to explore more of this world then the sequel is the only right choice or don't make it at all. Even tho The Crow with Brandon is a magnificent action noir film it's still an adaptation of a popular graphic novel, so a re-imagining can be done just don't remake it beat for beat if you know what I mean, but Dark City is a completely original sci fi and should not be replicated.
Yes, massively ripped off by the matrix. The agents demeanour, the clothes. These aliens are agents, manipulating the reality of humans, then the 'one' in this movie comes to the realisation that he can control the environment and defeat them. Even or green colour gradient used in this alternate world. I saw this film 16 years ago and I remember how much had been copied. This is what comes to mind, great film they both are. But matrix was heavily influenced.
Ok I love the matrix and I still do, but why doesn’t this have the same cultural impact it has if not more than the matrix? Oh wait I know! Warner brothers butchered the first cut.
QUESTION: When was the last time you remember seeing the SUN in your DREAMS (let alone remember the dream itself)… You do not know anything about HALF your life... While they manipulate reality for you... SHAME ON YOU!!
This is another underrated gem
This movie was so underrated at the time. Great script, stellar cast, and awesome soundtrack.
Just be sure to watch the Director's Cut. Fixes a lot of the bad studio interference editing of the original idea.
This is one of my favorite films. It has a great story that is well written and the atmosphere is absolutely perfect for it.
The matrix meets hell raiser
except nothing like either. I wish people would stop comparing.
@@johnathanking9885 exept this is the man morpheus tell neo about who set the first people free from the matrix. This John is the first anomoly

Mr quick? No more Mr. Quick! Mr. Quick, dead yes! Poor Poor Mr. Quick.
Before all this auto tune nonsense. We only had brain metal crabs, and we loved them!
loved this movie so much that I wrote a play based on the ending of it.
Really?
I'd like to read it
can you link it?
That must have been interesting.. I think it would be horrifying,, you have an all powerful man obsessed with a woman who doesn't remember him.
Why do the strangers behave like British politicians?

You know Goldfinger is German, right?

DEFINITELY one of THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE!!!!

John Murdoch Because of your recommendation, I’m turning on that movie now. Never seen it. Cheers!
And the younger brother of Brazil.

So it seems you've discovered your unpleasant nature.....
25 years later...still creepy. Great movie!
This film reminds me of The Truman Show and Brazil.
Wish folks would stop comparing this movie to the Matrix. It's much better.
This movie is so creepy and so good. Saddest line, "I don't remember."
Poor poor Mr. Quick....😭
He can tune!
haha what a fucking classic line mr. wall
or as I hear it...he can chewn
He must have perfect pitch
tweevers2 I always thought it was something like "quen" but everyone says "tune" I guess so... whatever
Que. It reminded me of Que like an actor aware of their role. (These beings are a lot like Archons and as they see themselves maybe as script makers and directors).
The alien child makes me think of the little girl off the 1980s Dune. The wierdness of this movie kind of makes me think that David Lynch had a part in helping it.
Haha. David Lynch sure is into children.
This def seems inspired by Lynch's Dune tbh
The best movie...mind boggling,stunning,amazing,thrilling...exciting...
Time to revisit this pre-matrix gem, yes?
the Stranger's dialogue is odd. Its made known that the human can tune but dont know how thats possible, and mr Hand only offers "Sometimes they act erratic" which equates waking up with extraordinary powers as a rare but not unheard of quirk.

Like the adjustment bureau
is me or this would make a great video game
Reminds me of Shadowrun, back in the snes 90s days
Fun little tidbit of info. Mr. Hand wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show
HE CAN TUNE MR HAND HELP
better than the Matrix, imo.
As good as the first. thankfully there was no Dark City Reloaded or Dark City Revolutions
Not at all lmao
@@BradiKal61 their are no sequel because the story was finished
Dude the cinematography in this movie is so like The Crow.

Mr. Quick wasn't quick enough
Poor.. poor Mr. Quick.
why do i get the feeling this would look great in black and white
"MISTER ANDERSON..."
Who knew Billy Corgan was in movies!
Woooooow!
One of the veeeeeery few pre-HD films where the source material is sharp enough to justify buying the Bluray version!
What does that mean?
Do you know how 35mm works lol
@@lunaracc914 that the movie has cool aesthetics.
even 1960s film are more than HD idiot.75mm film are 12k while 35mm film are 8k equivalent
Guys guys you can tune i can tune Lets be friends
A see a lot of comparaison with matrix but a prefer dark city like a lot
"Yes?"
Bladerunner of the 1990s.
what?
Ce film culte !
Did they just make a cheeky reference to The City Of Lost Children?
I think so. They definitely drew inspiration from the colour palette at the very least.
No
2:37 Is that the guy from the Mitchell and Webb Look?
3 out of 10, needs more cheese
Brazil
Dark city
Total Recall
The Lawnmower man
Matrix
Existenz
The Cell
Vanilla Sky
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Inception
Great movies
Only the cell and Brazil left to see
El titulo pone en español pero no lo esta
its like the scp the aristocrats in a way :P
One of my favorite films of all time
The way they speak reminds Mr. Deltoid, yes?
And the agents in the matrix
Holy shit, this is what the matrix is based on? I'm assuming that fact, not basing it on any outside information
I think Japanese cyberpunk was the inspiration for The Matrix.
no what the fuck. the matrix is nothing like this. fuck. fucktards.
Yes, massively ripped off by the matrix.

I remember my dreams almost every single night, and I have seen the sun in dreams, when there are lights on.
Oh look, the Matrix!😉
