    20:39 - “I like this atmosphere, it’s all green! “ - When the movie shows inside the Matrix, it’s all in a green color pallet, remembering the old green computers monitors. When the movie shows them in the real world it’s colored in real colorful reality with all nuances of a real life.

    bro, let me give you a tip from other successful reaction channels here on UA-cam: no one likes to be spoiled in the first few seconds. We all want to feel like watching the movie with you, and the build-up of emotions is a very important part that you don't want to burn out at the beginning. Keep up the good work!

    This is an homage to anime, Hong Kong kung fu movies, and comic books...and under all of that a deeply philosophical core.Keanu had to read three deep books before filming (Simulacra and SImulation by Jean Baudrillard, which was the book that housed all of the discs Keanu had in his first scene, Out of Control by Kevin Kelly, about the advance of technology, and Introducing Evolutionary Psychology). The films are basically a primer on philosophy.
    Personally, I feel that the second and third movies are so much a part of this one, that they are all one film. The fourth one is okay, but some people hate that more than 2 and 3.
    The four main actors worked for 6 months on the fight choreography before the film started rolling. They worked with Hong Kong legend Yuen Woo-Ping. Keanu's stunt double in the film is Chad Stahelski, who is now a director...and has directed Keanu in all four John Wick films.
    As far as good Hygo weaving films I recommend: The Lord of the Rings, V for Vendetta, Hacksaw Ridge, and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (you'll never see any of Weaving's performance in the same way after this one!).

When I got home, I'll never forget... my mom gave me a big hug and before saying "hi!" or "we missed you!" or "how are you?" she told me "we just watched a REALLY weird movie!". That movie was The Matrix. A couple years later when I watched it on TV I totally got her reaction, lol.

    I love that you brought up the song “Sandstorm” by Darude. One reason that song has sim many views on YT is because before lyrics sites and wiki got so popular, people would ask “what’s this song” in comment sections. And no matter which song it was, if it was country or oldies or rap or whatever, you’d just tell them “oh it’s Darude Sandstorm” 😂 This was even before Rick-Rolling.

    I'm sure everybody in the comments will let you know; but The Matrix: reloaded and The Matrix: revolutions are actually passable movies. The fight scenes (for the time) were actually quite good. I enjoyed the story and the acting by 1 actor in particular is unparalleled. I wouldn't bother to watch the last movie. The creators only made it because if they didn't make it, they would have had to give the rights up for another group to make the sequel. Instead, they made a stinker on purpose. I've watched it 3 times. The only thing I remember from the resurrections movie was... "MISTER ANDERSOOOOONNNN!!" which was the only 9 seconds of the movie I enjoyed. I didn't believe a single second of the acting of that movie (who the hell could portray hugo weaving without doing an impression of the man? The guy who did the movie.) ugh. But.. when he shouted that name, I did kinda feel like he was the character. I'd watch "The Matrix Trilogy" if I were you. Ignore the last one.

    A lot of people like Hugo Weaving from "The Lord of the Rings," or "The Matrix." I like him best in "V for Vendetta," and that's a "must see" movie, just like the others.
    BTW, if you want to see a movie that is COMPLETELY different from this one, but which has kinda the same style, check out "Blade." It was made the year before this one, IIRC. As for the sequels to "The Matrix," while they're not awful, the excellent story is all in the first movie.

      Yeah and the sad part is that it wasn't going to be that, originally the reason machines farmed humans were their brains to use them as microprocessors not batteries, which would make more sense but then it was decided that the concept of using a brain as a microprocessor would be too advanced for the average viewer so they decided to change it to human batteries, which as you already mentioned, human bodies would make crappy batteries.

    Fun Fact. Keanu throwing up during the Morphous speech wasn't intentional. Keanu had eaten some bad food that day and as if on que he couldn't control it and threw up at the exact moment Morpheus showed him the battery. Cameras were still going so he had to recover quickly and you can see it in real time him recenter himself to get back into acting mode as Neo starts to panic.
