You are so fine ❤❤
No freaking way you are like 40 years old?!! You look 25.
24:49 listen to Donald Trump and tell me if he uses the same coma inducing technique. But don't listen to him too long. 🙄
This movie woke everyone's brain up!
24:49 listen to Donald Trump and tell me if he uses the same coma inducing technique. But don't listen to him too long.
In 1999 everyone expected this was a normal sci-fi movie, nobody told us that everyone would leave the theater with an exitential crisis.
After a couple views you realize that the oracle never said Neo wasn't the one. Neo said he wasn't and she replied "Sorry kid, you've got the gift but it seems like you're waiting for something".
Neo “ Waiting for what?”
Oracle “Another life…who knows”
Then Neo dies and starts another life in the Matrix as the one.
“Another life, maybe”
"I don't know. Might further the plot"
@@sapphirehazel2 I mean, if there *was* one character in all the Matrix franchise that could break the fourth wall, I expect it would be the Oracle.
There is some theories that it isn’t even a human that is the One but variants of Agent Smith
It's a subtle line in the movie, but very clever, almost subliminal advertising, when they pick Neo up under the bridge Switch calls him Copper Top which at the time doesn't mean anything to us. Shortly thereafter Morpheus shows him what he was being used as, the Duracell battery.
If you are old enough to remember the Duracell commercials, than you knew she was calling him a battery. _Why_ she was calling him that didn't make sense until Morpheus explained what the Matrix is to Neo.
“Copper Top” was actually an old brand identity for Duracell batteries, so a lot of people noticed that at the time. I remember thinking “Copper Top? Is this a Duracell product placement?” And it was …
Never knew that one !
You know in all the times I’ve seen this movie I never understood what Switch called Neo right then. But Copper Top certainly makes sense when Morpheus uses a Duracell battery to show how humans are treated by the machines in the “real” world.
@@ravindavinthescandinavian4998 In "Resurrection", The Analyst also states that the Agents were made out of "Coppertops", suggesting that is what Machines and Resistance members call the Bluepilled Humans in general.
The room where Neo gets shot is from the opening scene of the movie. That's why Agent Smith recognizes the building and knows the room number.
I never knew that !
And the (room) #303 in both scenes has something to do with computers, as do the cookies the oracle offers him but I can't remember what because I'm tech illiterate! 🤷♀ But it's cool! Someone else will probably comment on it! ❤
@@finnmccool2851 Neo's room number is 101 (the one) and Trinity works out of room #303. hackers/cryptographers in the Matrix are poetic people who enjoy the symbolism. The whole series is full of stuff like this. The cookie was probably some code injected by the Oracle to advance the program inherent to the one (unknowing state --> sacrifice state perhaps :D). HTML/browser cookies are used to identify individuals accessing a website and were invented in 1994. They could have gotten the idea from there, I guess.
In the second film, we see another offer of candy from the oracle, probably another program input, that Neo rejects I believe.
@@finnmccool2851 "The HTTP 303 Status Code occurs when a page has been temporarily moved. As a result, the server can't connect to the requested resource. Instead, you'll be redirected to a new page."
@@finnmccool2851303 is a status code in HTTP for redirecting traffic to a different location.
The oracle: "You're waiting for something, maybe your next life." - What happens to Neo at the end? The Oracle knew what she was doing
"One of you is going to die..."
Oracle knows her stuff.
Watching this movie with someone who can actually follow and has a bit of a science fiction understanding is a joy. Other reaction channels sometimes miss the details or just ask the dumbest questions. lol.
I don’t understand why 95% of film and music reactors are serious numbskulls. She’s one of the few good ones. Subscribed!
They do that to get more comments and therefore more money. They don't really want to know the answers.
@@peterj4741 I do, its just a job to them like they are solving a puzzles or their Nancy drew or part of the mystery machine.
I agree 100%. So many other reactor channels out there where I scratch my head and think, "are people really this stupid out there"... yes, yes they are.
@@richardwilliams6256💯
This was a really good reaction. Most don't figure out what's happening in real-time the way you did
Imagine you are bored 15yo on a Saturday and you decide to go to the cinema not knowing at all what movie is playing you see the poster for the first time and never heard of the movie before
That's me in 1999 seeing The Matrix for the first time
One of those few times you walk out of the theater stumbling, lightheaded, whoa….
Same.. then i went to uni ... and the uni cinema had it on for a fortnight ...and we went every night.
Same! I was 10 years older, had time to kill and went to the cinema. Absolutely blew my mind.
Same. I'd never heard of this movie. Then a friend dragged me to it, enthusiastically, after a friend of his pounded on his door, saying "what is the Matrix!?" Those first few minutes with Trinity stunned me.
How often can you watch one of the biggest movies of all time and say "I know her!" TWICE! 😂
Totally a Matrix moment, recognizing Fiona! 😂
Ha! Right?
When you idolize actors and are moved by the most meaningless things in the world, you will feel like you know people, when you really don't.
Either way its pretty safe to say, her teens and mine. Were galaxies apart, yet age wise we're a year apart. Still what are you doing if you miss one of the greatest movies ever, when you're a teenager on its release.
In his first visit to the "construct", Neo doesn't die from jumping off the building because it's a training program and not the actual MATRIX.
I really like hearing your thoughts on acting and technique. Your analysis of Hugo Weaving adding a third dimension to Agent Smith was great inside-baseball. And it's really cool hearing about your connections to the Australian cast members. That all adds to this being a fantastic reaction video.
This video made google think I'm a celeb stalker cuz I searched up the attractive women in the cast to see if she was right haha. Yep - Ada and Fiona! (Ada, great name to cast in a hacker film.)
Must be pretty cool to be dating the woman whose movie turns into a worldwide megahit and she plays the sex symbol :P
"Everything ends with him Waking Up"... that was brilliant
This movie was way ahead of it's time.
Movies these days seem like they're far behind where they ought to be. I guess most people ran out of creativity
@@greatBLT That because movies have gotten lazy in the last 15 years or so. Too many reboots and sequels instead of new ideas. The movie industry is basically at a stand still.
@-Knife- = Depends how far back you want to go, "Simulacron-3" (1964) > and then "World on a Wire"(1973), or more recent "13th Floor" (1999).
Then you have books such as "Neuromancer" (1984), "Simulacra and Simulation" (1981), Snow Crash (2000). Or older one such as Heinlein "They" (1941). Not exacly pure simulation that one, but close enough. So those concepts have been known for a while, it is just Matrix put them together much better, into one good movie.
And of course there is even more recent research from quantum physics, and also neuroscience research into consciousness and reality as such, which is way more interesting, and scary at the same time.
“I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Being The One is just like being in love. No one can tell you you’re in love, you just know it.” - The Oracle
I wish that quote was true because in reality it isn’t, sorry to burst your bubble. Sadly not everyone in the world is that lucky to experience “True Love at First Sight” and be happily 10-100 years later still be married or in a relationship more than six months (some its one-sided or delusional love).
@@ellie_jeann
None of what you said conflicts with or even has any bearing on that quote. The only thing the quote said about love is that only you can know for yourself if you're in love. That is still true, regardless of whether any of the things you said are, for any individual.
@@ShadowPhoenix82 All I was saying it is not everyone has the lucky of experiences full on "True Love at first sight" especially in today's society because it's unpredictable ... Maybe it was once a thing more so back then when Love was probably way more simpler but today's generations since there's no trust or truth in it (in my opinion) unless you can improve it wrong?
@@ellie_jeann I have experienced Love At First Sight.. with my ex-wife. While not everybody can experience it, it's still true that only you know whether you are in love or not. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't make it less true.
@@StanleyKuo184 You sure it was LOVE at First Sight and how long did that last before you two became EXes? Yes I may not have experience such a feeling and probably never will which is fine, I’ve accepted it because of how the world is now and you can’t be with someone truly without being involuntarily vaccinated or no truth. Sorry I maybe old fashioned when it comes to relationships but I’ve watched my siblings so-called LOVE at first sight then a few ended up getting married some years later who became military housewives and having two - three kids then regretting it blaming their young & dumb selves, whether or not they unconditionally love their founded families.
“I don’t know what’s real and what’s not”.
Nice job summarizing exactly what the movie’s about, before it really got started.
And yeah, that interview scene creeped the hell out of me when I saw it.
People ALWAYS here only "sorry Neo", but they never hear what the Oracle says after that: "you got the gift, but maybe you're waiting for something. Perhaps another life...". It's really brilliant script writing. That whole Oracle scene is genius.
The window cleaning was a parallel of the conversation with his boss. You can see Neo looking like something is kinda funny here. The sound the squeegees are making is the boss talking, annoyingly. And then his boss says "do I make myself clear", and presto, the windows are clean and clear. So many little things to pick up in this movie, I love it. Great reaction. Hope you watch 2 & 3.
The soap suds also mirror the look of matrix code.
The Matrix is one of those rare perfect films, in my opinion. Not a single frame is wasted in this film. The sequels are good in my opinion and they expand the lore, but the first Matrix film will always be the best Matrix film and I'm not even going to bother watching Resurrections.
yes pls dont watch ressurections, dont waste your time like I did lol not worth it and its a spit on the face for fans honestly
Is very good for Hollywood. Literary sf has treaded these ideas in more imaginative ways, but for cinema it was very attractive and interesting.
A man/woman after my own heart. Agree with everything you said. Huge fan of the Matrix. Did not watch a single frame from the "new film". Films like Matrix were a product of its era and culture that does not exist anymore.
Wachowski Bro's had the whole movie storyboarded before they even pitched it. They edited it for years. When it was greenlit, the crew just had to figure out how to shoot it. And this is what we got. A thoughtful comic book inspired masterpiece.
I am reminded from seeing it again how brilliant the writing and acting of that Oracle scene is and how it plays on psychology. She never told him he wasn't, and she never lied to him. She just let him guess at the answer, and then made him feel satisfied and confident in his answer, even though she never explicitly confirmed or denied it. And the interesting thing is how it not only misleads him, it also usually misleads anyone watching the movie the first time.
This is my first Coby experience. I want more.
Back when this movie was made dial-up was still the primary method of internet connection for most people, so that's what the phone is referring to, they use it to connect and disconnect from the matrix.
You are the only person that I've seen react to this movie and actually understand the ending completely. Well done.
"when we started thinking for you it really became our civilization". A quote from agent smith that sends chills down my spine.
That is a superb line, and soon to come true.
Keanu started training Martial Arts for these movies and fell in love with it. He's a really driven guy. There was a kiddy pool on set for the second two movies filled with ice so he could take ice baths after training, which he would do three or four times a day on non shoot days. Plus, everything they say about him being a good dude is true. The reason he's in John Wick is his stunt double, and three of the stunt men who doubled the agents, approached him with the John Wick script. He read the script and loved it. How many actors would read a script from their stunt double, and trust that stunt double to direct that movie? A rare kind of person.
Oh, and the one time I saw him really excited was when he was discussing a book he'd just read on string theory. The reason he's kind of odd and reserved is he's brilliant. One of those guys who's too smart to interact comfortably with everyone else. Keanu is a player character.
The white haired crew member (Switch) who "looked familiar" was played by Australian actress Belinda McClory
Fun fact, McClory was initially supposed to play the character only for the "into the matrix" parts. The part aboard the Nebuchadnezzar was supposed to be made by a (undisclosed) male actor.
Hence the name of the character
But producers thoutgh that it would be "too confusing" for the audience in 1999. So McClory did the part while looking as androgynous as possible
So, yes, Switch was originally ment to be a trans character as their "digital self image" was the opposite gender
Which is a shame cos its actually genius in the world of the Matrix...
Furthermore, the Wachowski brothers, who made this movie, are now the Wachowski sisters.
Coby, I am suitably impressed. You absorbed and dissected this move quite quickly. Keep up with your reactions, there is a lot of good cinema out there to have fun with.
FYI, the process by which Neo is the One is still yet to be explained. Keep watching.
Not only was Keanu already "trained", Chad Stahelski (John Wick director) was Keanu's stunt double in this movie. He was even already quite famous for being Brandon Lee's stunt double from The Crow.
He also did a nice cameo in Matrix resurrections as "Chad"
I didn't know that.
they still put a lot of effort in with kung fu and BJJ training and it shows.
The kiss that 'brought Neo back to life' was really just her grounding him in reality letting him know that what happened in the Matrix isn't real. His heart restarting is due to his brain being like "hey, that wasn't real we just felt something out here in the real world" and told his heart to start pumping blood again before his brain started to die due to oxygen deprivation.
I always assumed it was a legit resurrection. There is a lot of Jesus stuff in the series.
It's true love's kiss, a trope that goes back for hundreds of years.The Matrix is stacked with tropes (and all the better for it).
But he was gonna come back regardless of the kiss. He’s the One.
The Matrix Resurrection movie explained why she was able to do that. The two of them have a special connection (not gonna say anything else in case you haven't seen it).
Remember what the oracle said: " The next life maybe, who knows..." Neo died and in his next life he was revived as "the one".
Either online or by yourself, don't miss the Animatrix! It's an outstanding animated anthology that (in part) happens between the first and second film. It's very, very good, but most reacters don't even know its there.
Yes!
Please remember that this came out before smart phones, before wifi, you still had to call your internet provider on your home phone to connect to the World Wide Web aka the Matrix... hence the phone part you didn't get early in the movie... Great reaction
yeah, its kind of heart breaking to realize that most people watching this now wont have the context of dial up modems
@@guyinreallife6035 Heartbreaking is a bit of a stretch, time moves on and things change. This movie at least smartly puts the technology in a specific period of time (late 20th century) even if the main timeline is in the far future. This way it can never really be dated, and the effects still hold up quite well.
OTOH the whole matrix is simulated so there's no real reason the simulated phones would be any more effective at data transfer than a simulated fire hydrant :) I guess we can assume the architect had a certain style and somehow aligned certain backdoor data channels with the phone lines just because he liked the aesthetic :) But the symbolism is cool!
Just to be pedantic ;) .....Cable Modems were being tried in three pilot cities in America at the time this movie came out. Nashville, Orlando, and like Omaha, or Tulsa or something like that.
@operator0 kinda feel bad commenting... guys, I was just bitching about being old 😅
But you're also taking this WAY too meta. It's just that it was 99 and dial up was what we had. It was just appealing to the movie goers. Some things don't age that well, ain't that deep
lol I love your channel, recently discovered. HOW DO YOU KNOW all of these people? haha so cool
The 360° camera shots are iconic.
Great reaction Coby like always, It's hard to tell you how important this movie was, just in a general sense. It was the dawn of the internet as we know it now (2024), but the story drew on ideas that have been around since the golden age of science fiction. It is inevitable. And that's just the story. The Wachoskis invented a whole new way of filming, embraced the meta, and really just revolutionized movie storytelling. It's so good when today Morpheus says "we gave birth to AI" and all the reactions to that... because when I watched it in 1999, it was a futuristic prediction not reality. Keep up the good work.
"I wonder if the pill does anything"
It's a constant motif in Matrix that what you eat changes your code.
You are what you eat.
Watching the reactions to this movie NEVER get old. It's so fascinating watching the proper confusion play out as the revelations keep on coming.
BRILLIANT film!
I LOVED your reaction! This movie is one of my all time favorites. Ive gone through so many reaction channels for this movie and usually leave disappointed, nobody ever pays attention or understands whats going on.
You on the other hand picked up on so much, connected dots, understood what the oracle was saying, understood for the most part how neo comes back. so many moments in the video, i was like "YES! You got it exactly!"
It was so refreshing watching someone thats competent and actually pays attention
thanks !
Exactly. I almost felt like she must have read analysis before recording
Brilliant that your posting your reaction to this film. I've been waiting for this!
Cheers Coby!
You knew the “White Rabbit” girl and never seen this movie? One of the biggest movies in history? Huh? That’s Criminal content.
And the "girl in the red dress"! Fiona!
You noticed the Duracell battery… Switch calls him “Coppertop” in the car which is a nickname for Duracell batteries
I feel like the thing people always forget by the time we get to the end of the movie is that Neo is a hacker. The matrix is all just code. it is a computer simulated world written in code. Morpheus says some rules we can bend, others we can break. But Neo is both the One, as well as a hacker. So not only can he see the code of the Matrix, he can choose to rewrite it as he sees fit.
Trinity is a hacker too. Many who are saved from the matrix are hackers. Cypher (zero) def is a hacker in his past life. Kind of a common occupation :)
I'm amazed how accurately Cody could predict outcomes.
She could write sci fi
Freaking editor win right at 19:11 ! "He just seems *cut* hopelessly dependent on the system..." BRAVO!
Keanu learned martial arts for this, maybe even earlier. He was actually recovering from broken vertebrae while filming, so they focused more on kicks. They originally wanted Will Smith for the role and would have focused on slapping!!
I've definitely been rolling my eyes at people being unable to not bring up the slapping any time Will Smith comes up on youtube for the last two years, but...that one got me haha, well done.
@@jerodast, that slap was a career slap. It's so unreasonable, so unnecessary, so stupid there is no excuse for it. Hence the memes and all the calls back to that episode.
You're one of the few people that noticed that they are actually killing innocent bystanders instead of the agents throughout the movie and they just don't care.
"Everyone plugged into the matrix, is potentially an agent, and that makes them our enemy." Not an exact quote, but basically their mindset, which makes sense since you can think of blue pills as antibodies that will attack anything disrupting the system (the red pills).
@@adityaakaulthis is the reason Switch keeps the pistol on Neo in the car. Until he was unhooked an Agent could take his body and attack at any moment.
Ultimately they want to free the human race. But as Morpheus says, "most of these people aren't ready to hear the truth". They can't save the bystanders, and those bystanders are also feeding electricity to the Mainframe.
What should they care Because as long as they're still plugged in, They are helping the agents, even if it's unintentional 😮
I don't think most people miss that. If anything, most people seem to focus on that and miss the reason for it. Every "bystander" that's still plugged in is not a bystander at all. They are all weapons used by the agents to instantly jump from one location to another. They don't know it, but it's still what they are.
Exactly @@zeph0shade
Using "Wake Up" for the end credits, meta.
Blew my mind then. Still blows my mind.
Also you can clearly see how this movie influenced everything that came after vs what movies were like prior. I'm mainly talking the "feel" and style, how scenes were shot and pacing details like that. Literally (but not entirely) every movie that came after this had that "Trinity kick" from the beginning, slow-mo (like the bullet dodge), bullet time (bullet tracing) or some kind of martial arts. It is actually crazy how influential this movie was and still is.
How do you just randomly know extras in the matrix lmao
I remember back when this movie was all the rage... I used to have a Matrix source code screensaver on my Windows 98 desktop. 😅
PS: new viewer here :) found you randomly via your _Léon The Professional_ video. Since I'm already following a bunch of reaction channels, I'm always hesitant to add yet another one to the list; however you seem genuinely fun and able to comprehend what's going on. It's so nice to have a person not just consuming something for content's sake. 🥰
You brought up an interesting point in the movie about Cipher's intentions beyond just handing over Morpheus to the Agents. I suppose Cipher was committed to a particular course of action when he agreed to help the Agents. Mainly not leaving anyone else alive after betraying Morpheus and the team. I presume Cipher had keep the rest of the team and the operators from disconnecting Morpheus from the Matrix before the Agents had a chance to extract any Info from Morpheus's mind.
Once Cipher confirmed the agents have the needed info he could just sit back and chill while the machines infiltrate/attack and or destroy Zion and fly the hovercraft to a pre-arranged (assuming he could operate/fly the ship himself) location where the machines take him to a reserved pod and hook him back into the Matrix. With Zion destroyed and his crew dead there would be virtually no one left alive to question his actions or to discover that he was solely responsible for the death of his team and the destruction of Zion. This all supposition on my part but a possible scenario had Cipher managed to succeed and a terrible ending to the movie.
"We have a rule: we never free a mind once it's reached a certain age. It's dangerous, the mind has trouble letting go. I've seen it before and I'm sorry."
Cipher is beyond tired of living in the real world and desperately wants to get plugged back into The Matrix asap. So he's also killing everyone so he can get caught and plugged back in sooner.
No idea if they would have honoured their agreement.
Perhaps the machines would betray him in the end.
@@CS.AtheistChannel.VoteBidenAOC Its possible the energy gained from connecting Cipher back into the Matrix would have been very negligible at best and it would have been more efficient for the machines to just betray and kill Cipher. My thing is the moment the operator confirmed that Morpheus was captured and being tortured for critical info by agents. That should have been an immediate emergency signal to Zion control to change the access codes.( provided they could get a signal to Zion to warm them about a possible security breach)
One of my favourite memes: "Welcome to Rivendel, Mister Anderson!"
"I don't know whats real and what's not" that's a great quote that encapsulates why this movie is an all time great
THIS MOVIE BLEW MY MIND when I first saw it in Vancouver.
It could make you look at everything in your life differently, especially those little de je vous moments we all have.
Brilliant writing and production.
Love the camera zoom ins on your reactions of shock at certain moments of the movie.😂 You are a cutie Coby! You make these movies I've already seen far more entertaining.
I thought I was walking into the theater, little did I know it was a rabbit hole. 😂❤
Neo was the one from the beginning. Everyone hears the oracle incorrectly. She literally says you got the gift but everyone listens to “sorry kid”. There’s a comma in that sentence.
At the point "The Matrix" was made, hard-wired landlines were still a thing, and in the movie, those landlines represent an output port for the Matrix, which is the only way in or out for Morpheus' team (or any other team).
Additionally, not all landlines or phones allow one to enter or exit the matrix. Only a select number that are pre-arranged (somehow hacked or placed there) by red pills allow them to use it as a port.
A film so good that even after 25 years and goodness knows how many times it has been watched, watching someone else reacting we relive it vicariously. And I still hold my breath until Smith is vanquished (albeit temporarily)
From 19:06 when you mention he sounds untrustworthy to the cut to Morpheus saying “helplessly dependent on the system” might have been accidental but it was great for plot foreshadowing 😂
You managed to pick out that a particular scene only lasting a few seconds was filmed in Australia.. Impressive.
Great reaction. The Matrix will always hold a special place for me and my family. I took my wife to see this when she was 9 months pregnant with our first child as out last 1 on 1 date night before we had kids. That 1st child of ours is 24 now and just graduated college. To quote Keanu in this one..."Whoa."
The Matrix was the very first DVD i ever bought for my shiny new player. So crazy the quality of the picture and worthy of first ever status.
Whenever there’s that green tint in a scene it means that they are in the Matrix. When they are in the “Real World “ like on Morpheus ship there is no green tint.
One thing that is often overlooked, they hint that both Trinity and Morpheus were hackers. In the begining, neo was "hacking", and in the scene where the agents questioned him "you are guilty of every internet crime we have a law for".
At the end, when he sees everything in green, he was seeing and understanding the "code". When he jumps into the agent and destroys him from the inside, that signified him "hacking" the a.i. and destroying the code of agent smith.
Its more than hinted, they straight up say trinity was a famous hacker that Neo thought was a man.
And apparently Neo was too amped up about his sweet new toolset to clean up after himself like a responsible red teamer...
Of course we want to watch Coby react to the sequels! It was also cool that she knew some of the actors.
I wish I could see The Matrix again for the first time. This film was one of the best first watches of my entire life
Coby, Ada Nicodemou and Fiona Johnson in '90s Sidney Australia. What a trio! XD
Coby, you had a preconcieved notion that Joe Pantoliano would double-cross Neo because "he always plays those types of characters." When this film came out, that wasn't always the case. There were some exceptions, but he typically played the good guy and usually law enforcement (Fugitive, Bad Boys, Marshal, etc.). After The Matrix he was Teddy in Memento... and that gave him the credence to effectively play either side for the rest of his career.
OTOH one of his most well known previous roles was _Risky Business_ where he was definitely a sketchball :) Those cop parts he tended to be more of a side character.
@@jerodast Risky Business(Tom Cruise's breakout role) is the first movie I remember seeing him in,..definitely beyond sketchball,..especially being known in the film as "guido the killer pimp"..lol.
Imagine watching this back in 1999, going out of the cinema, no internet, no smartphone, AI still a thing of the distant future, just you and your new thoughts, that everything you ever experienced and your whole life and existence might have never actually happened and you dont have the means to check if you really live in a fake reality or not (even today we cant disprove it completely).
It's not just possible, it's practically inevitable.
@@jerodast, Agent Smith, is that you? 😁
Anyway, nice one. Me like it.
I enjoy watching people spot actors and places they know. Right up there with quick explanations of how things were filmed.
Speaking of Hugo Weaving bringing the extra dimensions to characters, he really served up all the emotions with a mask on in V for Vendetta.
The thing about the one (Neo is an anagram of the one, awesome nod there) is that he can actually rewrite the Matrix to change anything he wants to. He literally has no boundaries inside of it.
I've watched a lot of Matrix reactions. You have a beautiful brain, your comprehension is off-the-charts compared to everyone else that watched this.
Yeah, no... keep simpin.
@@Mr.Ekshin My assessment was accurate. If you think you are smarter than the rest of us, I am happy for you.
❤ OMG … Coby 😊
You are a Marvel to watch. So engaged and transparent about it.
… and so connected 😏 ‘I know her, and her …’ lol
I can really see the wheels turning behind those eyes. Such a talent, and yes, reacting IS A TALENT- At least, when an audience is the recipient.
Can’t wait for the rest of the series. 😊
PS - have you seen Dark City? It predates this by a year or so, and may have served as reflection to the creators of The Matrix.
I am so envious of people who get to watch these movies that I grew up with and be blown away by them for the first time
The street addresses are from Chicago IL, the shooting was done in Australia, and wherever they shot it does look a lot like Chicago. Switch was Australian actress Belinda McClory. The Matrix was the biggest Sci Fi movie since the original Star Wars. And it still works! Great reaction!
I've always wished this to be a standalone film and not a franchise. I absolutely love The Matrix. The sequels are Def some decent eye candy but I have just always considered the first one a near perfect film for what it sets out to do. All of the revolutionary slow-mo "shots" (CGI/ slowed framerate) are still amazing to look at. The timing/ editing of the climax as Neo discovers his true potential and Morpheus throwing the switches for the EMP to knock out the sentinels is superb. And that last scene where Neo breaks the fourth wall by looking at us, then looks up, the camera quickcuts out and up, and Neo just flies into the sky, roll credits. Absolutely stunning for 1999.
I do enjoy the 2nd and 3rd overall with continuation/ conclusion of the story, I just feel they lacked the essence of the 1st.
I remember being excited as all hell when Reloaded was announced. What a letdown. A good movie and cool effects, but nothing near the all-time greatness of the 1st. And Revolutions was just sad all around. The Animatrix was still worthy of the Matrix franchise.
Absolutely agree!
I think the most interesting part of this video was seeing Coby's surprised reaction to seeing people she knows who had bit parts that she didn't know were in the movie, especially when you consider it's a 25 year-old flick!
Me: happy to see a youtuber somewhat close to my age, and she's crazy cute too, even though I used to live in SoCal and Vegas and saw my fair share of beautiful women. Me halfway through the movie when she says, "Suicide doors on the Lincoln Continental!", I just fell in love. LOL!
Omg, I heard "Kobe" and I almost teared up! Hello Coby!!
Amazed to find out you're an Aussie. No wonder you personally knew half the extras in the cast. You've completely lost your accent. And, no way you were 16 in 1999? 😮
25 fucking years! That is mu fav movie and I have watched it hundreds of times. I don't usually write comments and give compliments especially to pretty girls as you, cuz you know, everybody else does and it's probably annoying, but I just have to tell you that your reaction to the movie made me so happy, you are so joyful and genuine in your expression that is contagious. This is the best reaction I have seen to this movie so far, I just felt your vibe! You are cool on top of the amazing face God give you, I wish you all the best things, keep being yourself cuz it's pretty fucking awesome! ;)
It's refreshing to hear someone note the importance of casting Keanu Reeves in the right role (he's no Gary Oldman). One of my life's small regrets: I *passed* on seeing The Matrix when it was in the theaters, and I've never seen it on the big screen. But in 1999, I'd made up my mind: "No more f'g Keanu Reeves movies!" I'd seen his weak performance in My Own Private Idaho (outshone by River Phoenix, RIP)... I'd been appalled at his totally-$HIT English accent in Coppola's Dracula, annoyed that he was ever cast in the role ("Aren't there any *British* actors Coppola could've cast?" I wondered)... And I'd been dragged by college friends to Johnny Mnemonic -- a mess of a film, letting down the source material (Gibson) -- "One for Johnny Moronic," I said, purchasing my ticket. Walking out of the film, it occurred to me, "We've worked out Keanu's range, and that range is... Ted! Because he IS Ted!" (Bogus, dude! That said, he was OK in Parenthood, but obviously *acting.* I'm also one of the few people who thought Speed was just a little too dumb to enjoy -- nowhere near as plausible or fun as Die Hard or Lethal Weapon, and Keanu's just... boring. But then again, in that movie, even Dennis Hopper was boring!)
Anyways, that's how I missed the best Keanu Reeves movie ever: THE MATRIX! Keanu is *perfect* as Neo in this brilliant film. Today, a quarter-century after The Matrix, I admit Keanu is very good in the right role and a very disciplined actor. (But no more accents, Keanu. Please.)
Johnny Mnemonic sucked. But Point Break was good.
@@merkury06 -- Patrick Swayze and Keanu in a good movie??! After Dirty Dancing, Road House, and Speed (other films of that era, mas o menos), I've always been resilient to the possibility that such a thing could be true... but your comment isn't the first to make me think Point Break might be worth a watch. Maybe I'll give it a go!
It aint Godfather 2 or Heat, but its defiantly entertaining.@@jamesodonnell3636
When Neo first entered the car with Trinity and Switch, Switch called him "Coppertop". I was like what? I was blown away by the radical shift of POV.
This was pure joy for me to see someone experience it as I once did
The window cleaning "squeaking" was a metphor for Neo's eyes being opened.
It was also the Wachowskis themselves looking in on the movie :)
The fact u knew what suicide doors are? Amazing! This whole trilogy is about good vs evil, individual against government control, jesus vs satan.
One thing that I didn't understand the first time watching was why Neo was the One and so special. Neo is a hacker and the best ever. So Matrix is just a computer that he can easily hack the world. That is why other people may be aware and have understanding but they simply not as great as hacker as Neo. So its not a Hero that was the strongest or most powerful or even random but simply biggest computer nerd. Its a very original concept that actually makes sense when doing the chosen one stories.
Alice, welcome to Wonderland. You have taken the red pill, embarking on a journey to explore a very deep and somewhat complicated mythology that spans three additional films beyond this first one.
Great reaction. Great evolving understanding of what has been presented to you. Looking forward to seeing your experiences with the Matrix.
Hi Coby!😊 Great reactions to the original Matrix!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 You really know your Australians, like Fiona Johnson & Ada Nicodemou.😉
The woman in the red dress scene was meant to teach Neo that anyone who isn't unplugged from the Matrix can be inhabited my an agent. So you kill with reckless abandon
19:38 “I like it!” - Perfectly sums it up
33:03 "There's a _difference_ between _knowing_ the path and _walking_ the path."
In philosophy, this concept is called determinism. It's a _really cool_ school of thought. Or, as a determinist would say, "I _appear to believe_ this is a cool school of thought. I may be mistaken, because free will may be an illusion."
Your reaction was priceless... I´ve watched The Matrix something like fifteen or twenty times(since the movie premiere back when I was on college, right at 1999 and watched with my friends at the premiere here in Rio de Janeiro )... and I´m about to do it again. Thank you!
I knew I liked this way more than The Phantom Menace which came out around the same time, but I didn't understand WHY until I saw RLM's breakdown of the prequels.
The "untrustworthy" looking guy with the mustache. He played a pimp in Risky Business,a great teen comedy from the 80s with Tom Cruise.
he was a Fratelli brother with their mom chasing the kids in Goonies
He was also a bit of an untrustworthy turd in Midnight Run with Robert De Niro.
He also plays Cosmo in The Fugitive, which is a good guy. Cut him a tad bit of slack. Good character actors make good movies.
@@Greybeardmedic Was that in response to me? I've always liked him as an actor, it's just that he plays the slime-ball character so well that he may have been a bit typecast for a while, but for good reason. No poor judgement on his acting at all, he should be very proud of his acting career.
He was also in Wachowski's very first movie (that allowed them to make The matrix) Bound
Neo is an anagram for (the) ONE. Switch refers to Neo as "Copper Top" during the bridge scene, alluding to the fact that's he's just a battery. In The Bible, Zion is referred to as the "City of Refuge". As the City of Zion is in the movie. The last human city as Tank referred to it.
There are so many cross references the Wachowski's used in this movie, that you could LITERALLY spend an hour writing about them.
"Copper-top" is the nickname used in US commercials for Duracell Batteries. In the film, it's a slur to describe people who unconsciously inhabit the Matrix, since (according to the freed humans' beliefs) the Machines use them like batteries-sources of power.
Coby about to be opened to the world of the Matrix .hope you enjoy it Hun 😁
I'm pretty sure that most of us tried to attempt the Bullet-Time dodge when we were kids, definetly can't do that so easily anymore😂Especially now that I'm well over 6ft lol
At 7 years old, I was madly in love with trinity
I was 17 when i seen this in theatre…..blew my freakin mind in 1999.
He’s not invincible. He still has limits in the matrix, just higher limits than any other human in the matrix.
death didn't stop him, so maybe he is invincible
If they didn't make sequels he would be invincible - they nerfed him for the sequels so they could have more wire-fu, otherwise he'd just be jumping in agents and 'sploding them every time.
@@metalore Good point.
@@theelder4797 Also a good point.
@@theelder4797 He probably did delete the other agents before the sequels and we have new agents "the ugrades" in their place. The machines can create more agents without a problem (not that it helps). I think he fights them in Reloaded simply because he is enjoying the fight and learning about their new code.
