  • The actual "Making of" documentary from the original movie release. Its hard to think that as of 2014, this film is now almost 15 years old.
    This video is posted purely for educational purposes as was the intention of the original documentary.

      It would be hard to take Will Smith seriously in a movie like Matrix given most people see him as a comedian from the Fresh Prince. A loner computer geek questioning the meaning of life is a bit hard to imagine for someone who was "born and raised in West Philadelphia"

      I agree. Although he is currently the John Wick of our current generation of action movies, you can't have better actor playing Neo as Keanu Reeves. Hollywood kept doing remakes and reboots because they're run out of creative ideas and film concept.

    I would go as far as saying this is probably the last sic-fi/action film that really makes use of CGI to an incredible effect without over-doing it. Timeless film, absolute classic, fantastic phrases, legendary actors, insane plot. I'm proud of being a 90s baby; when technology was about but not overused.

      Everything about the digital age was In a perfect place In 1999 , even the Internet and social media
      with stuff like AOL was perfectly limited , ppl had just enough capability without becoming obsessed with an oversaturation of Information , ppl also didn't have to deal wih censorship or Invasion of privacy.
      I was there opening night and The Matrix was the last truly groundbreaking use of CG I ever saw , every other movie I can think of In the 2000's didn't do anything significantly new , not The Dark Knight or any of other hyped film of that era. 1999 was the last pure golden age year for society In general before things spun out of control and we started becoming slaves to technology and losing our humanity.

    • @Catcrumbs
      @Catcrumbs 3 роки тому +15

      You could argue the Wachowskis failed at that, because their vision was undermined by the executives. Originally, the enslaved humans were meant to serve as processing power for the machines, which goes some way to explaining why they would expend resources to keep them around. The execs thought audiences wouldn't understand that, so the purpose of the slaves was changed to energy generation. This makes no sense at all, as the only energy input to the slaves is their ancestors' remains, so conservation of energy would have to be violated to sustain the slaves, never mind generate additional useful energy.

      ~ i agree and im a kubrickite:) but all film makers must learn from the lessons of others, the mistakes and the successes, else when someone makes something good all we get from some others is just a copy of what went before. but its hard to capture lightning in a bottle, which is what a good film is - many elements coming together to combine and create something brilliant, a new perspective on an old scene - which is what those two siblings did with the first matrix film . . .

    I really feel sorry for everybody who couldn't experience the matrix back then. At that time i was 12 and naturally movies were my life. There was only 1 immersive action game that was telling any story by that time and it was Half-Life. So if you wanted to experience a full on packed action, you had to resolve to movies. So we had masterpieces like Die Hard 3, Speed, Bad Boys and then we had something the world had never seen - The Matrix. The tone, the script, the action and the effects were nothing anybody had ever heard of. Yeah T2 Judgement Day showed us what WOULD happen if we let loose the AI, but The Matrix was showing how it was already happening. It;s hard to make something so fantastical like a bullet-dodging effects and at the same time having some logic to it (like if you're in a simulation program, you can use your mind and let it be the only limit of what you're capable of).

    This is the best film ever. I've never been a fan of cyberpunk or sci-fi but this movie simply blew my mind. Every phrase. Every Camera Angle. Every action is just brilliantly thought out by the Wachowskis. No other film has so much coolness in such a short space of time. It epitomised the 90s and was the last proper action film before the millennium where everything became a CGI fest. The philosophical approach combined with tons of insane action shots is simply perfection. Rightly so did Keanu donate 75 of his 80 million dollar salary from the trilogy to the film crew because they deserve so much credit. I was only 2 when this film was released, I really wish I could have been a bit older to absorb the hype that surrounded this film. There is something truly unique about this film; maybe it was the inclusion of kung fu that was never seen before. Whatever it was, the Wachowskis knew exactly what they wanted.

I was working at a record store and a guy came in the store one night selling a bunch of different bootleg movie vhs tapes. I bought the Matrix. When I played it at my apartment, It wasn't a good quality tape, but the low quality of the bootleg, somehow made the movie that more mysterious and cool. It's hard to explain. Lol

    Together with Back to the Future, this is my most favorite movie of all time. I must have seen this at least 25 times and each time it's still good. I was mindblown, the first time I saw this. The doc. focuses on the innovative camerawork, stunts and special effects, but for me The Matrix is all about the concept and the way it is brought to the audience. And if I'm really honest, this movie plays a big part in my own search for freedom in life. The question: "who am I without my thoughts and concepts?" is directly connected with this movie. For that matter, it's more than just a movie. It's also a genuine piece of art that makes you see yourself and life in a different way.

      Exactly. I went into the theatre not actually knowing what the matrix was. When Neo is trying to find out what it is we're just a curious as he is. These days even if you try to avoid spoilers, the trailer itself will spoil it for you.

    Keanu Reeves as Neo: A computer programmer, born Thomas A. Anderson, who secretly operates as a hacker named Neo. Reeves described his character as someone who felt that something was wrong, and was searching for Morpheus and the truth to break free. Will Smith turned down the role of Neo to make Wild Wild West, because of skepticism over the film's ambitious bullet time special effects. He later stated he was "not mature enough as an actor" at that time, and that if given the role, he "would have messed it up". Smith praised Reeves for his portrayal. Nicolas Cage also turned down the part because of "family obligations". Warner Bros. sought Brad Pitt or Val Kilmer for the role. When both declined, Leonardo DiCaprio initially accepted the role, but ultimately turned it down because he did not want to do a visual effects film directly after Titanic. The studio pushed for Reeves, who won the role over Johnny Depp, the Wachowskis' first choice. Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that the screenplay was also sent to Sandra Bullock, with the suggestion of rewriting Neo as a female
    Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus: A human freed from the Matrix and captain of the Nebuchadnezzar. Fishburne stated that once he read the script, he did not understand why other people found it confusing. However, he doubted if the movie would ever be made, because it was "so smart". The Wachowskis instructed Fishburne to base his performance on the character Morpheus in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Val Kilmer were also considered for the part.
    Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity: A human freed by Morpheus, a crewmember of the Nebuchadnezzar, and later Neo's romantic interest. After reading the script, Moss stated that at first, she did not believe she had to do the extreme acrobatic actions as described in the script. She also doubted how the Wachowskis would get to direct a movie with a budget so large, but after spending an hour with them going through the storyboard, she understood why some people would trust them. Moss mentioned that she underwent a three-hour physical test during casting, so she knew what to expect subsequently. The role made Moss, who later said, "I had no career before. None." Janet Jackson was initially approached for the role but scheduling conflicts prevented her from accepting it. In an interview, she stated that turning down the role was difficult for her, so she later referenced The Matrix in the 'Intro' and 'Outro' interludes on her tenth studio album Discipline. Sandra Bullock, who was previously approached for the role of Neo, was also offered the role of Trinity, but she turned it down. Rosie Perez, Salma Hayek and Jada Pinkett Smith (who would later play Niobe in the sequels) auditioned for the role.
    Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith: A sentient "Agent" program of the Matrix whose purpose is to destroy Zion and stop humans from getting out of the Matrix. Unlike other Agents, he has ambitions to free himself from his duties. Weaving stated that he found the character amusing and enjoyable to play. He developed a neutral accent but with more specific character for the role. He wanted Smith to sound neither robotic nor human, and also said that the Wachowskis' voices had influenced his voice in the film. When filming began, Weaving mentioned that he was excited to be a part of something that would extend him. Jean Reno was offered the role, but declined, unwilling to move to Australia for the production.
    Joe Pantoliano as Cypher: Another human freed by Morpheus, and a crewmember of the Nebuchadnezzar, but one who regrets taking the red pill and seeks to be returned to the Matrix, later betraying the rebels to Agent Smith. Pantoliano had worked with the Wachowskis prior to appearing in The Matrix, starring in their 1996 film Bound.
    Marcus Chong as Tank: The "operator" of the Nebuchadnezzar and Dozer's brother; they are both "natural" (as opposed to bred) humans, born outside of the Matrix.
    Anthony Ray Parker as Dozer: Pilot of the Nebuchadnezzar. He is Tank's brother, and like him was born outside of the Matrix.
    Julian Arahanga as Apoc: A freed human and a crew member on the Nebuchadnezzar.
    Matt Doran as Mouse: A freed human and a programmer on the Nebuchadnezzar.
    Gloria Foster as The Oracle: A prophet who still resides in the Matrix, helping the freed humans with her foresight and wisdom.
    Belinda McClory as Switch: A human freed by Morpheus, and a crew member of the Nebuchadnezzar.
    Paul Goddard as Agent Brown: One of two sentient "Agent" programs in the Matrix, who works with Agent Smith to destroy Zion and stop humans from escaping the system.
    Robert Taylor as Agent Jones: One of two sentient "Agent" programs in the Matrix who works with Agent Smith to destroy Zion and stop humans from escaping the system.

    You put it right. The Matrix is fucking timeless. It is, without a doubt, the film classic of its generation ("X"), and a total metaphor for what is happening in society today. Incidentally, the best film role for Keanu Reeves, ever.

  • @marcfuchs6938
    @marcfuchs6938 3 роки тому +2

    Hgo Weaving has made himself eternal as THE agent Smith. I think almost everybody would instantly recognize him. So If I was him, I would have some fun every now and then, dressing up with the black suit and the black glasses, put on a serious face and walk the streets. When somebody talks to me or gets into fan-mode, just giving them a short emotionless look and go on walking, like being the actual agent Smith. And when they are kinda upset about me sort of ignoring them, few steps later just turning around with a smile, that could still be agent Smith. =D You know, Arnie did such things in the whole Terminator-attire. I think, those are the fun sides of being a well known actor.

I find it a lot easier to think of our existence as a kind of matrix like world than to think about why were here where did we come from, what was before the universe, what’s outside the universe and what’s outside of that you could just go on and on... matrix is a lot easier to believe and maybe not so fictional after all.

I got to see it a week later due to watching 10 things I hate about you which was still in theaters and was the #1 movie the week before Matrix came out. I liked Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. I then saw the matrix with my Dad at the same theater (AMC Loews Wayne) and enjoyed the movie. Best sci fi movie of 1999. Better than phantom menace. The sequels sucked and the video games were ok. I got the VHS for xmas as well as the eventual DVD release that came with ANimatrix and Matrix making of DVD. I can't wait for a 4k master of the saga.

    The Matrix created a special experience at the Cinema that effectively foreshadowed the dangers of this Technology obsessed age to make it a Masterpiece of vision, style, creativity that gave the voices of Anarchy a triumph and helped paved the way for Wikipedia and Wikileaks to give meaning and truth for all in the 21st Century. A film that brings the triumph of the human spirit, power, context, hope, beauty and reality the way that Chariots of Fire inspires human values for all. Keanu Reeves has never met a role he could not master without aplomb and legendary moves that define action, adventure and capacity to bring exhilarating truths for all. Epic and Extraordinary for anyone who saw it when it came out and enjoyed the experience of being alive.
