Mate, respect level x100 for the amount of hours and work dedicated into this, we watch it for 2.5 hours and complain about all the mistakes, goofs and poor ending, these guys endure countless hours, hundreds of people in departments working together just to bring together a scene. Hats off to you all...
Sure the many Smiths are amazing, but the real story is the rain rig that caused a completely controllable indoor deluge take after take after take. I'm pretty sure thats an untold story of secret special effects work.
Its essentialy a big fire suppression rig suspended by a crane. They use them all the time for rainy scenes, nature isnt very cooperative so they make em pretty big for outdoor scenes.
And here I was thinking they simply hired a handful of people that looked similar to him and then did camera magic to duplicate him on screen. Holy hell being buried alive in plaster mold is some dedication to the craft. Well done Hugo
I just love the whole Matrix team's dedication on how they worked on both the traditional and digital craft. And also Hugo's professionalism. They really did a lot of effort to make this film forever a masterpiece.
they were cgi in the in the courtyard fight against the smith clones, especially neo. Just hard to spot. But especially neo in some extreme moves like the spin with the iron bar or the slowmotion kick before that scene that's where you could see pretty well they used cgi and probably not just for neo. Neo really looked like a animated video game character there with smoother skin and clothes etc. pretty obvious.
Though I'm not the biggest fan of CGI, it still takes a lot of work/time for the artists. I've sat in a few sessions just to see how it's done and it's not easy.
This is a lot of dedication just to make the scene actually look good, you don't tend to see this much dedication in movies nowadays, it's why The Matrix is one of my favourite movies of all time
OMG, the amount of efforts, time and money they spent to make those great movies is un imaginable. Can't even comprehend the efforts Hugo had to sit still for longer hours just to make his face molds, that's beyond me. Respect for all of them, cast, directors, producers, and anyone participated in those great movies.
I still think Hugo Weaving was a great casting decision. He just has a natural scowl and menacing eyebrows, sorta like Jack Nicholson. He also was required to do a lot of his stunts, which is practically unheard of in massive action movies like these.
@@stormteam3004 I'm an educated person. I'm smart enough to be able to read the hundreds of medical reports on vaccines to know they are real. What evidence of conspiracy do you have?
Smith in my opinion is the real ONE the ONE who was born inside the matrix and raise by it. He called the Oracle "mom". He is the software who really revolutionize he sistem. We really miss you Hugo.
@@pcplacegr That's the thing about good movie making. You don't need to explicitly tell that Smith is thinking it. When you just listen how he talks and how he is acting, you can get the sense that he is a very smug character. (although this can take some getting used to, if English is not your native language. )
He says it explicitly at the start of the fight, that he had foreseen his victory right there (because of the Oracle) so "the rest of me's are just going to watch".
@@Don-pk2uy Can you tell me how bad is it? I haven't watched it though. I'm just curious because they're hyping the movie up like it's going to be the best movie of the year but then everyone hates it.
@@alesongjay3577 it’s not bad, people just became a hive mind on the internet. Most don’t even know where they got the idea to not like the movie. It’s just a change in time, the viewers now see how these things are made so they all became writers and they all had their way they wanted the story to turn out. Take Spider-Man for instance, if you saw the comments about it before it came out you’d see they all said it was going to fail and their main reason was….it wasn’t going to have the other two spidermen. It became a hit after people got what they wanted to see and they could care less that the rest of the movie didn’t make any sense. Trust me when I say most regular folks are sheeps being manipulated, they don’t have original thought so find out on your own
@@alesongjay3577 Basically, the Neo's sacrifice in Revolutions was useless. No Oracle, no Architect, Smith chooses to be a playboy instead of the counterpart of Neo, Morpheus was Smith in the beginning of the Movie, Zion is dead, Niobe commands a new human city called Io. And now part of the machines works alongside these humans in Io. Merovingian is a homeless and Neo shoot Ki Blasts and use a Ki Shield now. Sati (the indian girl in the metro station who appears in Revolutions) saves the day, because Neo is a completely shmuck in the entire movie.
@@darodism I really hate it when companies just decided to reboot or remake something just for the sake of it. Let it be video games, movies, shows, etc. I don't mind remasters since they usually just enhance the quality of the original.

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the [REDACTED], infected, cloned, converted, assimilated, Hugo Weavings
Man that must be so uncomfortable. Hugo has some nerves. Claustrophobia from the cast as well as the psychological mindf•uck of seeing yourself 100 times!
I actually thought Hugo Weaving filmed a lot of scenes and then those scenes got composed in one scene. But pretty sure Hugo's face got pasted in most scenes, because in the final films you can see them doing expressions.
i am working for the industry, and i will clearly disagree with you, even in the highest budget films today, i can measure bewteen cgi and real shots. maybe the casual wont see a difference, but you wont get that near to human movement at all. thats why i love this movie for. they made the right choice.
All this work just for a couple of shots of multiple Smiths in the background... amazing dedication and craftsmanship.
Factz guess they did want them to look more authentic then they did in part two
And money wasted
This comment deserves more likes. Not only that, this scene deserves the same attention
They won a lot of money so I guess it worthed every single effort.
Too bad the scenes/whole movie sucked
Imagine real hugo standing there with the dummies and the director be like "where the hell is he" .
Yeah lol 🤣
hahahaha +1
🤣

Haha there should be an outtake parody of The Real Slim Shady...
"Will the real Agent Smith please stand up? please stand up?"
There's a warehouse full of grumpy Smiths somewhere.
The warehouse you seek is the Warner Brothers Archive Warehouse where they keep the Agent Smith Doubles
I had the same thought exactly
Some might be in collectors houses. People like to buy weird stuff like that for their collections.
@@fether835 they must be freed

Wow all these years I thought that shot was CGI now i found out they were real agent Smith's... freaking awesome. I love the matrix
You so simple and shortminded
Ikr, amazing work they did
Well the scene where he was fighting all of them in the 2nd film was, obviously lol
The matrix is telling you someone..we are all part of their evil matrix..people you need to accend out of their matrix!!!🤫😳😷😎
3 years after u man ,,, same
Hugo Weaving is a very underated Actor!
He made us Hate him in The Matrix and made us Respect him in LOTR Trilogy!
Say what you want about the Transformers movies but he was amazing as Megatron and was one of the best things about the movie...
An actor that has been in two of the biggest blockbusters of a generation is underrated?
And as V he managed to act the lead role of a movie without showing his face.
All you need for a matrix movie is: 1 Keanu, 1 Morpheus, 1 Trinity and 182 Hugo Weavings..
These two films are my best of all =))
Imagine all those extras who can rightfully claim: "I played Agent Smith in The Matrix 3"
I thought that all those smith was made by computer!!!
+++
And I thought that Smith's clones were Hugo Weaving digitally added 80 times in a single scene.
No such technology in 90s
@@dcsf1 It would've look worse for sure.
This is how real movies are done with so much art and effort.
That's is why i like old movies, those efforts and creative way they put into it, instead of just pressing a few button on the computer.
ใช่เลย
"Pressing a few button on the computer!
They make good story with that kind of effort.
You dont know nothing about computers and CGI
there's no passion anymore, today it's all done on the computer, even the rain
All the difference bw LOTR and The Hobbbit
seriously, this fucking insane hard work worth it. despite all criticism, matrix was overall a undeniable great movie trilogy
dfo 99 Better than LOTR?

No doubt that their hard work and creativity made THE MATRIX one of the best science fiction movie ever made.
it's a cult classic
This makes me appreciate this masterpiece even more!
Holy Cow! This is a zillion times better than the crappy CGI. Kudos to the people involved in cloning agent Smith. What a great guy Hugo Weaving is.
somewhere in some hollywood wharehouse there's just a shitload of hugo weavings

Yup lol.
@techminds Well, whatever that kid was talking, he deleted it and I didn't get a chance to know what crappy argument he was having with you.
I always thought they were all CGI characters just like the fight scene with a hundred agents smiths in the second movie

Yeah me too
me too man
silly YOU
Today that scene would have been shot with a fucking croma and cgi even for the rain, the models, the buildings and the paviment.
true
"Mr. Anderson", that's the best voice acting I heard in the trilogy.
without CGI! awesome!
This is a lot of dedication just to make the scene actually look good, you don't tend to see this much dedication in movies nowadays, it's why The Matrix is one of my favourite movies of all time
If only the same amount of effort was put into the 4th film
Back then everything was natural and organic, even the movies were built out most part by humans hand. Old school last forever!!!
Ok BOOMER
Hardwork pays off & show itself...
We didn't know they did so much for those few shots. But everybody liked the MATRIX....

And his sexy menacing voice
unforgettable American accent
The actor they chose for Resurrections is not even close to be on his league. They had to put some flashbacks mid scene to show some similarity.
Practical effects still kick ass, just look at Black Panther, that stuff looked shit. Then look at the Batman movies from my man Christopher Nolan.
You gotta love how they use to invest in to movies back in the day
7:06 Someone says: "I love you daddy!" LOL
Boros Ádám or dummy?
I can't believe it was not all a CGI
I absolutely love that most of us are all awake and see right through all the world's Bullshit. Keep fighting back everyone, we will win!

Pretty much all the programs are born in it thought.
What did they do with the heads after lol
That is insane! That they did it all manually instead of CGI!
The amount of hardwork and dedication put on these scenes are more than the entirety of Resurrections.
will the real agent smith please stand up ...
I though the Smiths were CGI
I now give this movie a new rating.
I had no idea they used dummies and silicon masks, I thought it was all digital and editing magic.
Real handmade Effects better then the CGI Flood today.
Cgi never as good just a cheap way to a lesser product.
I cannot comprehend Hugo weavings real accent hahaha. When I see him all I here is.....

how could they make a matrix without smith , ironic !
Exactly. No Smith no morphius idk why who these ppl are so I could t watch it
Y’all are just angry that Smith is even hotter.
MY TYPS IS AGENT SMITH
when ı saw this scene ı thought all of them was made by computer
holly shit
Dedication at it's finest holy moly
Thats the main different beetween those movies and new ones....
And I still cannot answer my wife's question about why not all the agent Smiths attacked Neo at the same time and defeat him...!
Because Smith absorbed the Oracle he was so sure that he would win that he told the other smiths not to help

to remind himself hes 30 years older , that would be freaky havin one of those in the closet

3:32 - even the colorist is Smith. Wow!
today they would use cgi for that, which would've been cheaper, but would never accomplish such a nice set as they managed to get.
There is nearly no reason ot have a "nice" set. With enough budget and time you can get a much better look with CGI nearly every single time today.

I would have bet that all additional Smiths was CGI... but nice they are not. :-)
...and the sunglasses made it easier for the mask-solution.
all those years i thought it was CGI, very suprised.....maybe CGI wasnt as good back then as it is today, that it would have looked fake.
