When the Matrix released in theaters nobody had any clue what it was about. It was a total mystery to audiences. Vague teasers and trailers, no explanations. Was a very fun and interesting experience. The Thirteenth Floor, and Dark City were major influences for the Matrix, and Existenz came out in the same year.
part of the reason it was kept quiet was because they knew they had something here that other production companies were going to try to rip them off. It also kept from spoiling the plot which was important for the film to be effective.
Early in the movie Switch calls Neo "Copper Top". Later, Morpheus holds up a Duracell battery after explaining that humans are being used as an energy source for the machines.
Wild thing is what morphius said about how much electric power the human body actually created is factual . Imagine if AI or mankind darkened the skies to block solar power capability to try to stop AI from continueing to produce , the idea of putting mankind in synthetic fluids again and in a “happy simulation” while it uses us for power, “win , win “ for everyone according to AI . Mankind lives free of pain and a shitty world. And AI keeps it all running. Scarry
@@MZ-bl6wg The problem is that it takes more energy (in the form of calories) to keep a human alive than you will _ever_ get out of it. That's why the "human batteries" explanation makes no sense. In the original plot, humans were being used as _wetware CPUs_ to run the matrix. In other words, not only were we being kept prisoners inside the Matrix, but we were the CPU that ran it! Of course, _that_ explanation also makes no sense, for a different reason, but I won't go into that. Anyway, executives thought that the audience was too stupid to understand the "wetware CPU" story, so they forced the Wachowskis to change it to the "human batteries" story.
@@SpearM3064 Is the wetware matrix really so implausible, if some of the tasks you think you're doing in your "life" there are also carrying out computations the machines need? One thing we are compared to silicon computers is power *efficient* -- if you measure the cost of computation in energy, not time, we still dominate machines for many computation tasks.
Trixy I can tell you like a little violence. Every time a fight scene was imminent your eyes widen with anticipation and a slightly malevolent grin came to your face I loved it 😁
Some reactors think that the part when Neo slides down the chute and into the water that it's some kind of birth. Idk. Maybe as the start of his new life. The machines saw it simply as him being disconnected from the system, deemed "disposable", and then summarily flushed down the drain. Love the channel!
It's interesting about both the practical and the symbolic of that particular scene. A case where the machines don't know what's really gone on, but the humans do.
When I watched this movie the first time (on 1999) it was a great surprise, didn't have many hopes realky. But seeing trinity doing that Eagle kick was so amazing.... Great to see young people getting the same sensation of adrenaline and surprise. Thanks for sharing
It really speaks well to the film that it hasn't aged in almost 25 years, except maybe for the presence of flip-phones. That's an incredible accomplishment in an age of unprecedented and exponential technological growth.
@@michaelccozens yes, it happens to me watching this and The Ghost in the Shell. It seems at that precise years phones and that exponencial advance took everyone by surprise😄
Yep when it came out "bullet speed" was brand new, cameras circling a stopped or slow motion image just blew our minds! (even when you know how it's done its still amazing!)
I remember watching a special feature when the movie first went to home release where they showed how they did "bullet time," and people were even more in shock as to how it was done. It was the height of visual effects at the time, and nobody knew how to compete with it.
I'm impressed that the "There is no spoon" speech was so meaningful to you the first time your heard it. I couldn't make a single piece of sense out of it first hundred times I heard it.
12:44 -- We're all damaged Trixy ... We're all stumbling through life in the dark. The lucky ones are those who help each other. Who find a hand that holds and leads..
18:19 when the oracle checks neo and says " you got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting on something. A next life perhaps?" She literally spoils the ending. At the end he's able to fight pretty well with an agent, but it's not until he is killed, then comes back, that he becomes the One. Ergo the next life.
I love that whenever someone watches this movie for the first time, their first reaction is, “these are not humans”. Then you realize that they are normal humans. The world around them is fake.
The biggest plot hole that has never been explained to me... Humans can watch their friends on a monitor and track their every movement and every detail around them but the computer actually generating the matrix can't? It makes no sense from any angle you look.
My friends and I went to see this in theaters when we were teenagers. My bass player failed to tell the rest of us that he had dropped 3 hits of acid before hand... He never even made it through the credits before he ran out and spent the rest of the movie in the car, doing God knows what.
I DOO! it's so scary when that happens, I've had nightmares where I thought i was in real life and there's been times where I've woken up and couldn't tell if I was awake for real for minutes afterwards, it's so weird...
I saw a movie once that has some similarities to The Matrix. It's called The Thirteenth Floor. It also deals with switching from virtual reality to actual reality, but it has a different story obviously.
There are quite a lot of movies based on ideas of Philip K. Dick, this is one of them. He said, seriously, in a press conference in his later years (1977 I guess), that we all live inside a computer simulation. This disturbed quite a lot of his friends and colleagues, and later on inspired a lot of SF writers. Maybe he is the grand-godfather of Cyberpunk, who knows, most probably ... His novels, stories, ideas etc. were FAR ahead of their time. Many were later adapted to successful movies, as there are now the technical possibilities with CG. E.g. Inception, Minority Report, Blade Runner, Fatherland, A Scanner Darkly, The Adjustment Bureau, Total Recall, Impostor, Next, Paycheck, Natural City, somehow Open Your Eyes/Vanilla Sky, 12 Monkeys, Videodrome, Pi, The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ... These movies and his novels are for sure worth watching / reading. Visionary. Some are true classics. He died very introverted and lonely due to his mental health struggles, probably schizophrenia, at least psychotic and paranoic episodes, in 1982. His stories therefore are timeless and mainly have topics like reality vs. illusion, altered state of mind, drug effects, paradoxa, individual identity, conspiracies, false memories etc., that due to their nature age really, really well ...
PKD is very influential, but I don't think you could really call him a progenitor of cyberpunk. That's William Gibson. The defining feature of cyberpunk is how it incorporated the PC revolution into sci-fi predictions. Prior to that, computing power was restricted to large corporations. Personal computing meant that power suddenly devolved to the individual. PKD barely lived to see the beginning of that revolution; perhaps if he had lived longer, he would have helped create cyberpunk.
@@michaelccozens Actually, the groundbreaking term "Cyberspace" was introduced in a short story by Gibson that was published the same year that P. K. Dick died, 1982, only five years after Dick's "Matrix" press conference. I would be very, very surprised if Gibson has not been very strongly influenced by PKD that time ...
P.S.: I know that Gibson claimed to only have read "The Man in the High Castle", but he also wrote an introduction to a publishing of PKD's letters in 1974, so he was well aware of him as an SF writer. One could also claim, that there are others, that had more interesting writing styles than Gibson and were similarly genre building, like Stephenson. Gibson references Thomas Pynchon and William S. Burroughs (who was one of my very, very favorite writers) as main influence, but in the whole genre there are many further developed ideas of PKD, so I think there are different opinions of him being a "grandfather" or godfather of Cyperpunk. The genre as a whole owes him a lot ...
@@imcrazedandconfused Influenced, sure. But there's a distinct difference between cyberpunk and the Ballardian sci-fi that preceded it. In the latter, computing power was centralized, hugely expensive, and available only to massive multinational corporations. In the former, computing power is decentralized, far cheaper, and available to at least a substantial fraction of the masses. Cyberpunk's defining feature is the extrapolation of the promises and pitfalls of the PC revolution, as well as the massive networks said revolution made both possible and necessary, ie. "cyberspace".
@@imcrazedandconfused You're welcome to think what you like, but if you're going to challenge what is currently a massive and very solid consensus, you're going to need a lot of reasoning and evidence. As it stands, you haven't really brought any. The one alternative you do suggest, Stephenson, didn't begin writing substantively until a decade after Gibson had established the new genre.
i love the matrix. for me it is a metaphor for a spiritual awakening where you realize that everything is connected and that you can through your awareness tap into different layers of reality. so the matrix represents our current system and its limitations and negative effect it has on the environment. one layer is to see that we need to change our path in order to live in harmony and balance with the planet. but also there is an all controlling force (like you said) that literally makes up everything in existence. it has many names some call it god, all that is, allah, source, the universe, subtle energy. it is the non physical existing in a higher vibration and frequency than the physical (which according to some teachings is an illusion or a mirror just like time and space are illusions (if you are part of an infinite higher consciousness that is everywhere simoultaneously and outside of time and space)). and so our experience may well just be billions of parallel reality frames through which we shift per second creating our core beliefs the things we mostly believe to be true which we then find represented in our outer reality. just an idea lol
Fun fact this movie is an allegory for the Trans experience, written by the wachowski sisters while they were closeted (before they transitioned). Which is funny because the whole 'redpilled' thing that Mens rights idiots use a lot is a reference to the matrix.
If you want to see a Keanu Reeves movie before he did The Matrix trilogy, look for 1991's Point Break, with Patrick Swayze. Keanu plays a newly graduated FBI Agent on the trail of a group of surfers who rob banks. Very good movie.
That dream trick about five fingers works for me, but I have five fingers in both hands! My friend lost a finger and hast ghost sensations, but in dreams it is their magic finger and lets them control everything in the dream realm!
"This is what happens when you don't pay attention in physics class." OR... this is what happens when you pay too much attention in physics class and learn what to do to bend the laws of the universe. After all, if you don't like the universal constant for gravity, change it. On a much less impactful note, it is good that you have a hard threshold for the number of tentacles with which you are willing to contend.
About ten years ago I was trying to contain my excitement as I moved into an Apt. 303. Still live there now with two other people. That's three people in 303. A trinity of residents. Okay, I'm done now... :P
Me too! Wild thing is Elon Musk refrences the Matrix movies sometimes when speaking on the Artificial Intelegance race that’s comming to a close. Between US/Google developed and China. First time I heard it mentioned he asked what put mankind in the simulation in the matrix? Who runs it and created it? Mankind developed AI, AI advances the world faster than we could imagine and at some point justifying saving mankind by sticking us in a simulation AI saves man and continues to advance itself. He said recently he is in process of dismissing production of connecting pods to create a space station he anf his family will live in full time. He always says the rush to create it first and all the important rules and laws we need to implement into it are being rushed. He says within the next 1-2 years it will be operational and how we complete it will determine mankind’s future. It’s not crazy talk anymore , it’s literally being finished.
In Philosophy there is a thought experiment called "the brain-in-a-vat hypothesis" A given person is just a disembodied brain living in a vat of nutrients. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a supercomputer, whose program sends electrical impulses that stimulate the brain in the same way that actual brains are stimulated when perceiving external objects. It's an old idea based on Rene Descartes.
This movie influenced so many different parts of pop culture and internet culture that its required viewing imho. IT was the first wire-fu/western style action movie. It also was way ahead of sci-fi nerd curve that rules our current world. In 1999 the matrix was considered a movie for nerds... but now it's come to define an entire 20 years of film making. You can see it's influences in the MCU, in other fantasy/sci-films... so many terms and concepts in this film have become staples of memes and video games. It's truly a land mark.
I wish the whole franchise had ended with Neo deciding which door to take with the Architect watching. The whole franchise jumped the shark from that point forward.
@@ross8884 Looking back it was a bit of a renaissance for Aus film making but none of it could have been possible without Dark City showing we could do it. Then we threw some staff across the pond and NZ made a couple or so decent movies LOL
@@micamojo I remember a couple movies they did in NZ....iirc, it had a bunch of little, elf people or something weird like that. I don’t think it did very well since, as we all know, that kinda stuff is only for geeks & losers. I can’t even remember the name of it right now...
@@ross8884 I'm convinced that if Ada had not been the white rabbit and Melissa George not been in Dark City then the rebirth of Australian cinema owes Home and Away a beer.
Fun fact: in the original screenplay the humans were used as human CPUs (processors) because our brains have really high computing capacity (whereas our power creating capability is terrible...youd get more power from a potato or a cow, etc etc). The producers made them to change it to batteries cause they thought that the people would have 0 clue what the human neural network meant (whcih is fair because some people didnt even know what the internet is)
I saw this in theaters in 1999 with my dad when it was released and every since then I had a dream where I saw myself going through that whole mirror effect and yes in my dream i only had 4 fingers and it terrified me so much I was scared shitless to sleep and eventually I got over it and realized it was just a movie and just a dream but yeah I still have them these days but I know it's all fake and when I do dream like that i wake up laughing...
It's a great moment, and also an example of the trans narrative in the film, specifically as regards "deadnaming", or the refusal to call a trans person by their chosen appellation. As Neo makes clear, names are identity, and yours is no-one's to determine except yourself. Plus, it's just a dick move. If someone named Michael likes to be called Mike, you call them Mike. None of this shit is new or hard, no matter what pearl-clutching bigots would have you believe.
One burning question (although not terribly important) that I've never seen addressed or anyone ask is how far is the area where the red pills are picked up after they leave the matrix? I'm assuming the pods with humans is in machine city and we see how well protected the city is in revolutions so I'm just curious about the location of the pods in relation to machine city and why don't the rescuing ships get attacked?
To get to the Machine City in Revolutions they follow powerlines from the Human Fields to the Machine City, so they're not in the same location at all.
An interesting piece of information that was released not too many years ago is that Neo's journey is an allegory for the transgender experience (especially the transition).
The best part of the movie comes after watching it. Over time you realize that it is real, that the real world is how it is told. But it seems you got it right. So take care 🙂
Good for u Blu watching The Matrix, this is a film that anyone that is a movie fan, has to see and needs to see..it changed movies, so many films would not have happened if Matrix didnt...Enjoy Blu, i have seen this film too many times to count! Follow the White Rabbit and take that Red Pill!!
Humans are not a plague to the Earth, we are the Earth, we are the Galaxy, we are the Universe and each of us are as old as the Universe because we are made of the same matter that was here in the begining, our conciseness as entities are the only thing that is new. We are the Universe living yet an insignificant part of it because we are so small compared to the whole though when you realize you are part of it you realize that its not you bending nor the spoon because you are the spoon and the spoon is you.

First time I heard it mentioned he asked what put mankind in the simulation in the matrix? Who runs it and created it? Mankind developed AI, AI advances the world faster than we could imagine and at some point justifying saving mankind by sticking us in a simulation AI saves man and continues to advance itself. He said recently he is in process of dismissing production of connecting pods to create a space station he anf his family will live in full time. He always says the rush to create it first and all the important rules and laws we need to implement into it are being rushed. He says within the next 1-2 years it will be operational and how we complete it will determine mankind’s future. It’s not crazy talk anymore , it’s literally being finished.
16:13 Did you know that this scene was filmed with almost no CGI effects? They were living extras who were simply given the command to freeze.
"what the fuck is happening?". Exactly how all of us felt watching for the first time. Lol...😆
blue is so pretty
your reaction to the spoon child was the best part
In Philosophy there is a thought experiment called "the brain-in-a-vat hypothesis" A given person is just a disembodied brain living in a vat of nutrients. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a supercomputer, whose program sends electrical impulses that stimulate the brain in the same way that actual brains are stimulated when perceiving external objects. It's an old idea based on Rene Descartes.
Look up Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" which is the original version that Descartes ripped off.
This movie blew my mind in the theater. Still think and discuss it with friends
Gotta love this movie. When it came out The "bullet time" method of shooting a scene was created for this movie.
Do you have to remove those pins when u wash that shirt?
The thumbnail for this video is from Matrix Reloaded.
That gag reflex during the pod scene lmfao
Blue this video was so amazing keep up the good work I love you so much 💙
"I'm sure he made it" LOLL! A good thing he did. ;)
There is no spoon, which is why we're all "forked"...
That Bear in the back creeps me out every time you hide part of the movie. XD
If you want to know the origin and how it all started you have to watch The Animatrix, its an animated movie explaining it all.
I remember seeing this in theaters at 4 years old. Boi was it a ride for my little mind.
.... I was 19, I'm old
and my eye is always drawn to 314 above the System Failure message, whereas now I was drawn for the first time to the 303 code below :)
Equilibrium with Christian Bale. Highly recommended.
Благодаря за реакцията ❤️💪🇧🇬
The Chinese team that made "Kung fu Hustle" trained the actors for almost 5 years to do this movie.
"We all accept the reality with which we are presented."
This movie influenced so many different parts of pop culture and internet culture that its required viewing imho. IT was the first wire-fu/western style action movie. It also was way ahead of sci-fi nerd curve that rules our current world. In 1999 the matrix was considered a movie for nerds... but now it's come to define an entire 20 years of film making. You can see it's influences in the MCU, in other fantasy/sci-films... so many terms and concepts in this film have become staples of memes and video games.
It's truly a land mark.
When he was ready, he didn't need to dodge the bullets.
The Matrix is a masterpiece
i dont believe im living in a dream. but what make my brain hurt is: when im dreaming i also believe the same
My fave movie trilogy of all time
I wish the whole franchise had ended with Neo deciding which door to take with the Architect watching. The whole franchise jumped the shark from that point forward.
26:40. I worked on the Matrix so it's funny you say it should have been a bank robbery scene, - we shot this in Sydney inside a bank.
wow what a privilege!
@@ross8884 Looking back it was a bit of a renaissance for Aus film making but none of it could have been possible without Dark City showing we could do it.
Then we threw some staff across the pond and NZ made a couple or so decent movies LOL
@@micamojo I remember a couple movies they did in NZ....iirc, it had a bunch of little, elf people or something weird like that. I don’t think it did very well since, as we all know, that kinda stuff is only for geeks & losers. I can’t even remember the name of it right now...
@@micamojo and a couple of actors from Heartbreak High right? Lol I know too much
@@ross8884 I'm convinced that if Ada had not been the white rabbit and Melissa George not been in Dark City then the rebirth of Australian cinema owes Home and Away a beer.
Such a classic. It's been a few years, but I think it's aged pretty well. Ironically, better than the sequels which had pretty hideous early VFX.
Some of the effects were ok, like the twins and the freeway scene we're solid
If you've not yet seen it Heat (1995) is an excellent crime drama with an absolutely epic bank heist shoot-out scene.
28:44 those guns are surprisingly accurate if you can hold it still
Fun fact: in the original screenplay the humans were used as human CPUs (processors) because our brains have really high computing capacity (whereas our power creating capability is terrible...youd get more power from a potato or a cow, etc etc). The producers made them to change it to batteries cause they thought that the people would have 0 clue what the human neural network meant (whcih is fair because some people didnt even know what the internet is)
I love this movie so much! The Wachowski Sisters are super creative and Keanu Reeves is breathtaking as always 🥰
The brothers were creative. One still might be, "Lana", we'll see with Matrix 4, the other went crazy.
@@ItApproaches rude
@@A2Z83 Not rude, literally truth.
@@ItApproaches nah. False and rude.
I laughed when Neo was shot once and Blue said "there is no spoon", then he got shot once again and Blue said "Two spoons" :DD
I saw this in theaters in 1999 with my dad when it was released and every since then I had a dream where I saw myself going through that whole mirror effect and yes in my dream i only had 4 fingers and it terrified me so much I was scared shitless to sleep and eventually I got over it and realized it was just a movie and just a dream but yeah I still have them these days but I know it's all fake and when I do dream like that i wake up laughing...
That's a really cool t-shirt and it goes excellent with your hair. I like the how everything looks in the room too. ✌
Lol you read my mind at 28:43 Morpheus would be pumped full of bullets. Great reaction to this classic sci fi masterpiece of a film by the way.
34:34 - Who hurt you, Blue . . . who hurt you? LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha! Great reaction, Blue. What a great movie. This was fun!
So many people stared at the bear this whole movie haha
"Jump in trash, story of my life"
Just like me))) 😭
How do you REALLY know we’re not all living in the Matrix right now? Can you say for sure that this is truly reality? Kinda bakes your noodle…
Watched a few reactions to this and by far, the best reaction has been: "How dare you not call me by my gamer-tag bitch!"
It's a great moment, and also an example of the trans narrative in the film, specifically as regards "deadnaming", or the refusal to call a trans person by their chosen appellation. As Neo makes clear, names are identity, and yours is no-one's to determine except yourself.
Plus, it's just a dick move. If someone named Michael likes to be called Mike, you call them Mike. None of this shit is new or hard, no matter what pearl-clutching bigots would have you believe.
One burning question (although not terribly important) that I've never seen addressed or anyone ask is how far is the area where the red pills are picked up after they leave the matrix? I'm assuming the pods with humans is in machine city and we see how well protected the city is in revolutions so I'm just curious about the location of the pods in relation to machine city and why don't the rescuing ships get attacked?
To get to the Machine City in Revolutions they follow powerlines from the Human Fields to the Machine City, so they're not in the same location at all.
An interesting piece of information that was released not too many years ago is that Neo's journey is an allegory for the transgender experience (especially the transition).
That was fun! (subbed) 😁👍 I used to have dreams where my teeth fall out! Yes, I'm starting to believe we live in a simulation.
The Sentinels, are the Agents of the Matrix
funny how every time the movie goes away the bear comes back.
That teddy bear is freaking me out.
when the wachowski brothers were brothers, now they are sisters. matrix change everything
The best part of the movie comes after watching it. Over time you realize that it is real, that the real world is how it is told. But it seems you got it right. So take care 🙂
Gosh this movie makes me feel old! I was 6yo when it came out. Totally mindblown!
"There is no spoon"
Touché!
We called it the Matrix, the kids now call it the Metaverse.
23:58 Yes, Blue, we can feel your anger.....it gives you focus. Makes you stronger....
N E O = O N E. The One. His room was 101. Trinity's room from the opening scene was 303.
Love you Trixy, you are one of my favorites.
Trixy, did the Kurgan design your tee?
Good for u Blu watching The Matrix, this is a film that anyone that is a movie fan, has to see and needs to see..it changed movies, so many films would not have happened if Matrix didnt...Enjoy Blu, i have seen this film too many times to count! Follow the White Rabbit and take that Red Pill!!
We all live in a yellow submarine... a program within the Matrix.
My fascination for computers and tech started here and the games 😆
Humans are not a plague to the Earth, we are the Earth, we are the Galaxy, we are the Universe and each of us are as old as the Universe because we are made of the same matter that was here in the begining, our conciseness as entities are the only thing that is new. We are the Universe living yet an insignificant part of it because we are so small compared to the whole though when you realize you are part of it you realize that its not you bending nor the spoon because you are the spoon and the spoon is you.
