Fellow Watchers, This video is all about the action (and maybe one other thing), part 1 was more about the philosophy side of the movie. Link to part 1 in case you missed it - ua-cam.com/video/d-fqfL2PEKo/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
If you're looking to the comedy side, have a look at "airplane" definitely worth a look! On the horror side, "American werewolf in London" is also worth a peek, love your reaction, keep up the good work!
My favourite scene is the Lobby scene. One long,glorious,continous shot. It is a shame, however, that the Oracle didn't tell Trinity to stop yapping and answer the damned phone when the time came!
With regards to John Wick/Matrix crossover. Chad Stahelski was stunt coordinator and stunt double for Keanu on The Matrix, and was the Director of the John Wick movies.
I like how The Oracle says, "You're waiting for something." Neo says, "For what?" Oracle, "your next life maybe.," and she was right. In the end, he didn't become The One until AFTER he was shot and died. When Trinity whispered in his ear that he couldn't die because the Oracle told her that she would fall in love with The One and she loved him. And that's when he defied all the rules and rose up as the One, love conquers all, baby!
Not bad writing at all. They needed the scene to set up the pay off at the end where she finally tells him she loves him. Without that scene the payoff is marginalized and potentially doesn't make sense.
The answer-the-phone moment was a genius by the directors. After watching this, I am 100% sure it caused the audience tension, stress, and irritation. The quietness of the scene and the look on Neo's face also said, "can we do this later.". I believe The Oracle told Trinity what she needed to hear, knowing she would put Neo in that situation.
The subway phone thing: 1. They didn't know the bum was there. 2. They had to move the plot forward with a bit of suspension. The perfect movie doesn't exist. Even The Shawshank Redemption had its flaws. Some think the poster over the hole was a major one but I think it's the location of Andy's cell. When the Warden and guards were rushing to his cell it clearly showed other cells on either side. Where did the solid wall for him to burrow through come from? Nonsense rambling for a simple point. My favorite scene would be from Reloaded with the first appearance of the new Agents (one was from Mortal Kombat Conquest, one played Nightman and the other... can't remember). "It's him." "The anomaly." "Shall we proceed." "Yes." "He is still..." "only human."
They needed the subway talk to set up the end scene where she says she loves him. Without that the payoff might not make sense. They also needed Neo to stay and have the cool fight scene, get shot and then really become the one. Without the subway conversation, Trinity saying she loves him doesn't really make as much sense.
The ph9ne scene would have been 100x better if Trinity went to talk and Neo stopped her and said we'll talk on the ship. Then she quietly nods as she puts the phone to her ear then scene continues
8:30 Since you are bringing up the subject, if you haven't seen it, I would like to bring to your attention the 2002 Christian Bale film "Equilibrium". It created gun-kata as it's called.
6:30 It's a dramatic and plausible excuse to initiate the third act climax. It serves it's purpose. It's a movie. Things are not meant to be 1 to 1 reality. People that are deep into the story seem to forget that. It's not a bad thing, being engrossed in the story. But people tend to forget they are watching a movie, a machine with moving parts. Yeah, in real life you wouldn't stop to have a heart to heart in a tense situation, but this is entertainment. If the Matrix attempted to be a movie that follows that sort of real world logic, it would never have become the cultural touchstone it is. At the end of the day, it's a person sitting around a campfire telling you a story, and many sadly tend to forget that.
Let me offer a counterpoint to the, “Answer the phone!,” argument. To become, “The One,” wouldn’t that require isolation? An “Island” experience that requires you to reach within yourself and draw out everything needed for sustaining oneself, alone and free from everything and everyone? Until he believed in himself, to believe completely that he CAN DO everything that is required to carry that title, effortlessly, as being, “The One”…Morpheus & Trinity NEEDED to be absent from the picture, figuratively & literally, so that Neo could be completely present…as, “The One!” Just a thought. Much love! Keep the videos coming. 🫡👍😎
True, he needed to face the ultimate challenge on his own in order to truly unlock his potential. I also read other valid explanations on here as to why they needed the scene, why they needed to find a way to move the story forward and setup the final showdown. The issue with the phone scene for me is not about any of that though. I get that they needed a scene or excuse to move the story forward and set it up for the ultimate showdown, all stories need that, but surely there are many ways in which this could be achieved. I just think the way they did it made Trinity look a bit stupid and I don't like that because I like her and I find her actions there to be inconsistent with everything we saw from her leading up to that point. She is smart, disciplined and practical. Doing that phone scene like that where she knows the agents are breathing down their necks after they just pulled off the biggest rescue and escape in history and then 5 seconds from safety, deciding to have a long winded heart to heart? I just found it inconsistent with her character. But I guess love makes fools of us all😅 Thanks for watching, more on the way

Loved the MK and street fighter comparisons. "He honda'd on him"😂😂😂😂

13:46 “he done cracked the davinci code. He IS the davinci code” lol 😆

So true!
The phone scean is a turning point.
Yeah that phone stuff drives me nuts every time! I think it was bad writing. What could the use of not answering the phone be?
Lol, perhaps there's zero privacy on the Nebuchadnezzar.

My favorite line of the movie is when Neo says, "No." At that moment, she stopped believing the lie.
Noticed your profile pic - XRP is pumping right now!!🚀🚀🚀🌝

Agree
I agree with the phone comments but they had to create wc scenario to show methods abilities
