    /* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
    The sci-fi action epics one of the best films ever made and it was a phenomenon upon it's release. Taking a lot of attention away from the return of Star Wars this ushered in a new kind of action movie for the next ten years.
    Bullet time was everywhere, we all questioned our realities and I even convinced my parents to buy me one of the mobiles from the movie. Didn't have snake on it and didn't open up with the spring released actually being custom for the characters in the film.
    However this film took over my life and I can't wait to go back through it. This video will be filled with easter eggs, hidden details and the making of trivia that show why this movie was the one.
    So answer the call, take the red pill and come with me as we step through the looking glass. Here we'll show the truth that there is no spoon and I cant wait until we show the people what they don't want you to see...

      I had a job which included writing a synopsis for the Matrix so i got to watch it before general release. From the first scene with Trinity it felt groundbreaking and different to other action movies of the 90's. I was surprised how small the publicity was and how little was known about the movie which in hindsight probably helped to create it's cult following and made it special. Oh Paul Ibiza?

    Fun behind the scenes story: The kid who played Spoon Boy was scared to get his head shaved, so Keanu Reeves comforted him and sat with him throughout.
    Several years ago, one of my teachers (who played the "potential" girl lifting the blocks) told me the story, as her twin brother played Spoon Boy (it's also a well-known piece of trivia that they intentially hired a lot of twins to act in the film).

    You missed the best line by Neo’s boss. He says “you believe that you are special. That somehow the rules do not apply to you. Obviously you are mistaken”. We learn in the Matrix Reloaded from the Architect that he is special because he is able to break the rules of the matrix showing how far the directors were thinking ahead. Best line ever.

      Whether or not Neo is "the one" who is special and rules don't apply to him is the main plot point of the first film.

    Some stuff about Neo's name that often gets missed:
    Neo's full name (with moniker) is Thomas A. "Neo" Anderson. As mentioned in the video, "Anderson" means "son of man", and "Neo" is an anagram of "one". However not mentioned is that the name "Neo" also means "new", "recent", "revived". Therefore "Neo" and "Anderson" put together could be meant to imply that he is "the new son of man" or "the revived son of man", alluding to the Second Coming of Christ. Similarly the name "Thomas" means "twin" or "someone who looks like another", so "Thomas Anderson" means "the twin of the son of man". Normally this could be interpreted as his name meaning "one who is fashioned in the image of Christ", but in this case it is likely further alluding to the idea that he is the second coming of the messiah. Incidentally, his middle name is never given throughout the franchise.

      @@SuperSuperman1976 Thanks friend. I was thinking about it more and there's more ways that you can interpret his name when you consider the lore perspective. We know from the sequels that the Matrix runs on a cycle, wherein the Matrix goes online, eventually a human "wakes up", that messianic figure then founds a human settlement somewhere below the Earth's crust and wages a war against the machines, a second messianic figure arises and destabilizes the Matrix, and then the machines tear the whole thing down and start over. From this perspective we can infer that Neo is not the Second Coming of Christ, but is in fact the "second coming" of the first awakened human in a particular cycle. It gives his name a bit of a double triple quadruple whatever meaning.

      The Thomas part of his name is to represent Doubting Thomas. Neo struggles with the doubt of being The One, and it makes the scene where Smith calls him Mr. Anderson and he says emphatically that his name is Neo, possibly signifying that he's beginning to shed that doubt.

    Good video. Here are a few things about "The Matrix." The window washers are the Wachowskis. Good catch about "Cypher" meaning "zero," but since Neo represented Christ in the movie, I thought "Cypher" was a shortened "Lucifer." In the matrix, Smith referred to Cypher as "Reagan," an actor later elected president. One of the funniest things in the movie was when Neo was literally fighting Smith with one hand behind his back which is a colloquialism for an easy fight. Excuse any repeats. I typed this as I was watching.

    Back in the day me and a couple friends of mine, we were obsessed with The Matrix movies, especially the first 2.
    After we saw the second movie we started talking about different Theories about what was really happening.
    We theorized that the reason Agent Smith was able to take over the guy and Neo was able to stop the machines in the “real world “ was that the real world was actually a secondary Matrix made to let people that slipped out of the main program to believe they were free.
    We also theorized that the Matrix was built by an alliance of humans and machines as a way to allow humans to survive until the world could support life again.
    Like maybe near the end of the world the machines feeling pity agreed with the humans to end the war and create the Matrix as a way to save humanity. But over time the system became corrupted or the original purpose was lost.

The fact that he didn't have a lot of flexibility led to his very straight-forward fighting style (little-to-no dips, bobs or weaves, loads of straight power punches and kicks, very few feints, etc). A great example of an actor's limitations leading to an amazingly visceral and thematic fight style.

    Sorry, but theres more. They're in a program which Morpheus has most likely run through multiple times while recruiting others, and is aware and remembers the flow and patterns of the crowd which is why it seems effortless. Neo, experiencing it the first time, wasn't even aware it was a program. They were not in the Matrix at that point.
    Also, Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simultation is NOT about living in a "simulation", like at all.
