    A movie with such a cultural impact, you would be hard pressed to find someone who isn't annoyed with at least one of the things this particular film has brought us. Be it the red pill blue pill dichotomy, bullet time or a generation of teenagers who espouse philosophical statements while having absolutely no idea what any of them mean. Despite this, from the very same group of people you would have a hard time finding anyone who honestly disliked the movie itself... so what is The Matrix? That is the question now, innit?

    According to an interview with Will Smith, the reason he turned down the role of Neo was that when the Wachowskis pitched him the movie, all they did was give him a very vague description of doing a kick in bullet time. Nothing about the story or character he would be playing, just something along the lines of “imagine you can jump and kick in slow motion.” If that was their whole pitch, I don’t blame him for turning it down.

      @@Mecha82 it's been a long time and i dont know the books at all but if i had to guess then taking both would more than likely have your body wake up while your consciousness is knocked out and you forget however much it makes you forget. one seems to be 'coded' to make you sleep and forget and the other to jump start your brain into you snapping out of the matrix sleep. so i think that taking both would cause a reaction thats a mix of both but you'd more than likely be waking up even if it knocks you out.

    In hindsight I'd have to say The Matrix is kinda like the RoboCop of the 90s. Though it came out in 99 to be fair.
    Both were high caliber cinematography sci-fi action that had a take on social issues and identity that spawned a rush of sequels, media projects, and rip-offs and can be pointed at as an icon of the decade they came out in.
    Though Matrix took more of a philosophical bent to tackling its topics and RoboCop had a mix of parody and quiet angst that never took itself too seriously but could hit some powerful notes.

      The fact that there are an negative reviews is surprising to hear - everyone I know loves this movie and I could never figure out why. I don't think it's good. Never did. Too pretentious and the stunts are so off-the-wall that I can't suspend disbelief even knowing that they're in a VR world where physics don't exist. I like a deep, thought-provoking movie but the dialogue comes off to me as more like it's trying too SOUND mysterious and profound while actually saying bupkis.

    In Greek mythology, Morpheus is the god of dreams. This is ironic, considering Morpheus' role in the film is to "awaken" people from their "dream states" within the Matrix.
    With the exception of the call traces, the glyphs on the computer screens that represent the Matrix code consist of reversed letters, numbers, and Japanese Katakana characters.
    By the middle of 2002, the famous "Bullet Time" sequence had been spoofed in over twenty different movies.
    According to the Wachowskis, all animals in the Matrix universe are computer generated images.
    All the color blue was sucked out of the exterior shots to convey how grim the world of the Matrix actually is.
    Laurence Fishburne said that Morpheus was like being Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in one character.
    The Wachowskis have said that the popular Japanese manga and the film of the same name, Ghost in the Shell (1995), were big influences on the development of the film.
    The name of the company where Thomas Anderson works is Metacortex. The roots of this word are meta-, which according to Webster's means "going beyond or higher, transcending," and -cortex, which is "the outer layer (boundary) of gray matter surrounding the brain." Thus, Metacortex is "transcending the boundaries of the brain," which is precisely what Neo proceeds to do.
    The only film in the trilogy where Neo utilizes firearms. It's also the only one released in the 20th century
    Neo is often referred to as the "One", which is an anagram of "Neo".
    The movie draws inspiration from Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
    Body count: 39.
    Michael Hutchence was cast in a major role, but died by suicide only three days after learning he had got the role.
    According to Marcus Chong, the actors and actresses were encouraged to make their characters stoic and repressed.
    Matrix' is the late Latin word for 'womb' - which would make "The Matrix has you..." an apt warning with a double meaning, referring to both the computer-generated dream world, known as The Matrix, that imprisons the human mind, and also to the cocooned physical state of the human body which is being simultaneously harvested for bioelectric power in an artificial womb.
    Takes place 6 months before The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003).
    Agent Brown and Agent Jones never take off their sunglasses.
    Keanu Reeves slipped and fell over during filming of the lobby gunfight.
    Neo name is an anagram for One, which is the name he is called throughout the movie.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I think The Matrix works better as a stand-alone film without having any sequels. I actually would've preferred an open-ended conclusion that the first film would've provided if it hadn't been for the sequels. While I do like the first movie, I wasn't as impressed with it as most people are. That's not to say it isn't impressive or high quality, just that I didn't get as swept up in it at the time. I would have to give it more of a four out of five.
    I know that Keanu Reeves got a lot of flack for his acting in this movie, but I do still find he shows a lot of likeability. While I do like him best as John Wick, I think it's fair to say that he was always a likeable actor and human being, even if it took a while for that side of him to be fully acknowledged on a wide scale.
    I feel that the movie Dark City did this concept better, but given how much that film inspired The Matrix (even using some of the same stage) I think me saying so is likely no surprise to anyone as I'm far from the only person to bring Dark City up when discussing The Matrix and how it compares. In all honesty I actually didn't even know of Dark City until long after I had seen the first Matrix movie at least a few times, not to mention I didn't see the first Matrix movie until a year or so after it came out.
    My overall point is that even when compared to other films with a similar concept, I do think The Matrix has a firm hold of its rightful place as a good film and it's interesting to see how it still has rippling affects on our society today. I may not have the most popular take or perspective on it, but it's undeniably a good movie worth watching.

Like Neo and the rest of the gang are humans. They aren't exactly machines or codes programmed to follow and obey the Matrix like the Agents. So I think it is more fascinating when a Agent wants to go against the Matrix than a human.

      Neo is the everyman trope. His personality is quiet, thoughtful and subtle. He asks questions and reacts to situations just as the average ordinary audience member would.
      And Star Wars fans are cancer.

      @@felynecomrade Well, mostly the fans who go insane over the s-t that shouldn't matter. I'm still surprised that almost 5 years later, people are still b-ing about The Last Jedi having destroyed Star Wars. I'm a Star Wars fan, and I've learned to let go of a lot of stuff from the movies. I remember Linkara told people in his review of the comic adaptation of The Last Jedi, that it's okay not to like or watch the movies, that everybody has their preferred media of Star Wars. Some will prefer the video games, the comic books, the animated series, etc. But the ones who go bats-t are the ones who *solely* see the movies, and won't accept any deviation from the story "they wanted" rather than a thought provoking expectation playing new direction. Honestly, some of the fans don't know what they want.

      @@GriffinPilgrim The Key guy is an awakened person who wasn't pulled, essentially a sleeper. The area he affects is very small and out of the way to avoid arousing suspicion. Large scale efforts in public environments that the agents would need to utilize (which they can't. They operate within certain parameters) would cause suspicion, which would cause more awakenings, which would require greater containment efforts, which would arouse more suspicion, etc. Losing a few power cells by shooting them is fine as people wouldn't clue in. Losing several thousand in a cascade awakening because you broke the limits is a much larger issue.

    The Matrix turns 25!
    Made $171 million domestically and $463.5 million worldwide
    Highest earning Easter movie opening ever
    Many of its accolades include Oscar nominations for editing, sound effects, sound, and visual effects
    This is the movie that truly made the Wachowskis household names taking inspiration from comic books, anime, and French philosophers
    It also reinvigorated the sci-fi genre of filmmaking
    A rare example of an action movie making people think
    The film bears a striking resemblance to Dark City yet that movie failed box office wise not gaining appreciation until later
    But here the Wachowskis present their ideas and concepts covered in tight leather attire, big special effects, heady material, and plenty of Jesus symbolism
    Plenty of allusions of 'Alice in Wonderland'
    The special effects although somewhat dated really revolutionized modern filmmaking techniques
    Earlier attempts have started slo-motion but this is the movie that made it infamous with bullet time even so much as making into pop cultural references like other films, tv shows, cartoons etc.
    There's a lot of clever analogies, metaphors for gender identity, self-actualization, Samsara, The Cave allegory, terrific action, intellectualism, a terrific score by Don Davis, Biblical and Buddhist influences, and this thankfully paved the way for 3 sequels including a mini-movie collection, two video games even books of literature digging into the philosophy
    What is real?, are we living in a true reality or something else?, how many of us has had dreams we were so sure weren't real?, fate gives the idea that we are not in control of our own lives, to deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human, maybe human beings are like a virus that grows, consumes until it destroys everything, mind over matter still is stronger
    Okay yes the main leads are bland devoid of personality and human emotion
    But thanks to 'The Matrix' action movies have changed and influenced future moviemakers for days to come while also being complex and challenging
