Rabble posted:I always assumed that the “real world” was real in the sense that it wasn’t a simulation in the machine’s direct control. However it was a system of indirect control because the humans who existed in the real world were still interacting with the machines by fighting against it. Sail where lol You think the machines only control a small part of Earth and they'll find a place to plant crops or something? Endless wasteland under a burnt sky They need machines now

The Bloop posted:Again, maybe I think Doc's talking about what the Architect says, that Zion's existence is factored in to the whole cycle just like Neo's existence as the one. So it's part of the matrix in that it's ultimately still part of the whole system of control (in this case as a release valve to gather up all the humans that reject the simulation so they can be culled later while keep the rest of the simulation relatively stable) even if it's not part of the actual simulation itself.

The Matrix is just a crappy rip off of The Invisibles and so is Dark City.

Not actually, no: https://www.scribd.com/document/220825632/Matrix quote:As the ruling stated, “the basic premises of The Matrix Trilogy and The Immortals are so different that it would be unreasonable to find their plots substantially similar,” the only through-line being that “both stories portray a protagonist attempting to prevent a dominant group from oppressing and annihilating a subservient group.” Also too weak to hold legal water were common allusions to Christ figures, blue lights emanating from machines, neck plugs/chips, and protagonists who “have an enemy who [sic] they hate.”

Pfft, they're all just Jonathan Livingstone Seagull with the numbers filed off. And robots. (Unrelated, but this has me picturing Hugo Weaving in a cheap seagull costume.)

At the end of Matrix 4, Neo shows up and sees the credits roll and says, "Woah, it was a movie franchise this whole time!" Then the camera pulls back and we see the set and film crew, like the end of Holy Mountain. Where's my screenwriting award, dammit!

The Matrix portrays its artificial reality as an extremely binary us vs them, machines vs. humans, but I want to see people who are taking advantage of the constructed world to do weird poo poo just for the sake of it. The equivalent of speedrunners, or glitch abusers who have no interest in fighting the system but just want to find edge cases where you can accidentally noclip into Area 51 or exploit a rapid aging bug. Bunch of Matrix hackers arguing over what counts as half a button press. basically this:

It's amazing how many people can't see through the artifice of the Matrix. Don't you see how unreal it all is? It's a movie, people! It has credits in the end and everything. Wake up!

A young friend of mine had never seen the Matrix or Fight Club and somehow hadn't absorbed anything about the movies through cultural osmosis. That was a good day, watching those flicks back to back and seeing his face melt twice.

If you are at least 30 years old as of today how is it even possible to not have seen both of these at some point in your life? The Matrix alone has been as ubiquitous on TV as Forest Gump. dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 14:34 on Dec 30, 2020 |
