porfiria posted:The first Matrix (1999) was a culmination of pre-9/11 engagement with themes of anomie, frustration, and self-actualization. It is the ultimate Gen X movie. Bush did 9/11 to redirect the mass cultural awakening started by the release of Matrix in 1999. The first Cyberdog store in the US was set to open its doors on 9/12/01 in the concourse of 7 World Trade Center. If Bush hadn't acted we'd all be wearing glow in the dark mesh t shirts and platform doc martens right now.

Ammanas posted:Morpheus, Trinity et al do things normal people cant and Neo is merely a step up from them, not wholly apart. God does not fistfight goons. I think being able to fly at supersonic speeds and stop bullets with his mind is a bit past a 'step up' from Trinity and Morpheus. The best they can do when encountering an agent is still run, while Neo just gives a 'Hm, upgrades' shrug. Even upgraded the agents are no threat whatsoever to Neo. And God does fistfight goons. Why doesn't he disintegrate the other Agents like he did with Smith?Apparently because he doesn't feel like it. In his fight with a hundred Smiths, he just decided at one point he's done and flies off. Nothing was preventing him from flying off in the first place aside from him wanting to smack Smith around for a few minutes.

I'm accepting the story will be utterly incoherent and try really hard to mesh with the mythology of the trilogy but it wont matter because its gonna look and feel awesome

My initial reaction to the trailer is it seems like its going down the route of The Force Awakens in basically being a nostalgic movie instead of something new. Hope i'm wrong about that because i loved the matrix, sequels and all

Well The Force Awakens was literally fan-fiction, made by people who grew up with the original trilogy. This new Matrix film is still being made by one of the two original creators. The teasers and trailer are clearly referencing a lot of the imagery from the first Matrix, and to some extent the sequels, but having all these echoes of a lost past seems to be part of the story and not just for nostalgia.

I think they might be hitting the same beats as some sort of ruse by the machines. But also because it's easy to sell as a late sequel.

I just hope it’s a good stand alone. If they want to leave a few nuggets for a future movie that’s fine but no epic trilogy again please.

I am ready for another Matrix movie. Also I think Jonathan Groff plays the dude that Cypher became as payment for backstabbing everyone in the original.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:I fell down a twitter hole of "Lana Wachowski is actually a huge racist" and let me tell you, people sure do have a lot to say! A big part of the themes behind Lana Wachowski's works is identity and interconnection. The intent was so pure behind the idea that I give them a pass for it, though understandable that many others may not due to the history of blackface and the like. Cloud Atlas was great.

saw some semi-interesting speculation on reddit (spoilers bc who knows if they read the leaks and are just loving with people) -- could be going a route similar to New Nightmare for freddy krueger -projection of Matrix 99 could indicate that it exists as a movie in-universe -dude at the end of trailer who says "back where it all started, the Matrix!" could be a movie agent type (emphasis on "agent") -"I wanna be someone important, like an actor"

Jay-V posted:saw some semi-interesting speculation on reddit (spoilers bc who knows if they read the leaks and are just loving with people) -- could be going a route similar to New Nightmare for freddy krueger Jean Baudrillard's book Simulacra and Simulation was obviously an influence on The Matrix. The book itself even shows up in the first movie, hollowed out to store Neo's contraband computer poo poo. Back in 2004, Baudrillard was interviewed and said the movie and its sequels basically got everything wrong, claiming: Jean Baudrillard posted:The Matrix is surely the kind of film about the matrix that the matrix would have been able to produce. And I guess maybe Lana Wachowski was like, "You know what, that's a good point."

Payndz posted:Yeah, the trailer looks spectacular. It's an explosion of pin-sharp hyperreal colours this time rather than murky green (Matrix) and grey (real world), and I'm all for it. For some reason the green filter was added on the DVD release and all subsequent releases. In the theater, it had no such filter. It looked bright and beautiful for the most part. I'm pretty sure there's a version out there on bluray or whatever that has the original coloring?

I finished watching Revolutions just now after burning through Reloaded and the first film last night. Revolutions is alright. First is obviously one still the best, but Reloaded definitely has the best action (ignoring the burly brawl). That one-two punch of the chateau fight leading into the highway chase is pretty insane; hardly any big budget tentpole action blockbusters have set pieces that well designed. Only movies in the last few years that I feel come close or are as good/better are sequences from Fury Road and Alita.
