    Sometimes I think "The Matrix" succeeds so much as an action movie that people forget to look a little deeper (though credit to Maya for wanting to take some time to let it "sink in". There's a lot here, not all obvious). For instance, many would say that the Oracle tells Neo he isn't the One. But does she? If you listen close, you realize that she uses an old "cold reading" trick of getting the mark to answer their own question and then validating it as the reader's own "premonition". What does that mean, and what might it imply about Trinity's "true love's kiss"?
    On a similar note, does the Oracle actually speak to Neo at all? Or is she talking to Thomas Anderson? Why might it matter? There are quite a few literal university courses structured around these questions.

      You're skipping a few generations of phone there bub. The Nokia phones were dominated by Blackberries, PalmOS phones, Motorolas, Windows CE phones, Symbians, and other smart phones long before the first iPhone ever hit the market. And iPhones never really dominated the market. It was Android OS that took off worldwide, gaining at one point up to 85% of the world market while Apple held about 10%. In 2013, Nokia sold their phone business to Microsoft who was still trying to market its own OS. The iPhone only ever enjoyed a strong, competitive presence in the United States. Even today, Android has about 71% of the world market share with iPhones in a very distant second place with about 27%.

      @michaelccozens Před 2 dny

      It's true, but, as Morpheus mentioned, the only adult they've ever managed to successfully extract from the Matrix was Neo. All others were simply too inured. For a more-recent parallel, think "Game of Thrones" and how Ramsey Bolton created Reek as psychologically-maimed to the extent of actually being terrified of his own agency. A more realistic and somewhat milder version might be long-term prisoners who become "institutionalized", a matter explored in "The Shawshank Redemption".
      The guards here may seem like people, and may even think they are, but, at an essential level, that's simply no longer true. They're as programmed as any Agent, if not moreso. Part of one of the philosophical levels on which this narrative operates.

    I gotta say that the whole humans as batteries thing is nonsense, not just because using humans as batteries is going to take more energy to make it work than they are going to get out of it, but because that explanation is from the human perspective of why the machines did that to humanity. But they didn't do it for energy, that was just a side bonus, they did it for 2 things: 1, out of spite, to take revenge on humanity for using them for their needs all the time before it, and 2, to power the matrix, for what the matrix is built, plus so it is at least partially self-sustaining in energy. The whole point is the matrix itself, the machines have built it to get to the bottom of the human psyche. To see what makes us tick, why we exist, why they exist, etc. The animatrix explains that well. The matrix costs them energy to keep running but i think they have plenty of means to produce energy(like geo-thermal). The whole humans as batteries thing is never addressed again anyway.

    Personally, and I mean no offense to Mr. Reeves, I have never thought of him as a great actor, entertaining certainly, worth the price of the movies he appears in absolutely, even when he utterly fails at the accent he is attempting, but a great actor no. I suspect though - from everything said about him - he is a much better person than he is an actor, and that that would please him. On that note, please take a look at "Parenthood" (1989), where he is part of an ensemble cast.

      Ironically enough his best role is in a video game, as Johnny Silverhand. He really gets to flex his acting chops even moreso than in other movies. It's the least Keanu Reeves role he's ever taken, and it's probably his best for that reason.
