I'm going to watch and love this movie even if it's bad. I have a soft spot for the sequels and I can never hate them even if I know they're not really all that good.

codo27 posted:People talk like the Matrix is some kinda guilty pleasure as if it isn't one of the best and most important movies to see the light of day in the last 25 years Martman posted:I agree the whole thing is amazing, but I especially think the whole last act starting with entering the skyscraper to rescue Morpheus is some of the most insanely perfect action movie poo poo ever made True posts right here. The first act is legendary too, it follows very typical hero's journey story beats but it's paced and directed to really maximize the intrigue and impact of Neo's awakening and then delivers on the promise of finding out what the Matrix is. Even the long rear end exposition scene where Fishburne just lays it all out for Keanu is some compelling poo poo because of all the tricks they use to keep it visually interesting.

I was 14, which was the exact perfect age to have your mind loving blown by the Matrix. I saw it with a group of friends and we were forced to sit in the very front row and it still owned so hard

I'm really interested in what the 'real world' looks like after potentially generations of humans being given the option to awaken per the deal at the end of Revolutions. Are they still underground? Has the surface of the earth recovered and become repopulated? Is the new society better or worse than being in the Matrix? I'm thinking the movie will grapple with that question.

Yeah I don’t know either about the timeline, I’m just making assumptions. Pinkett-Smith (and Neo and Trinity) could possibly just be computer programs generated by the need for the matrix to have resistance figures in order to perpetuate its existence, and those were the resistance figures that people were drawn to initially so it recreates them. That would be a neat parallel to our political reality, where the appearance of resistance without the will to act serves to perpetuate cycles of control and oppression.

I don't think it resets to 1900, my interpretation is that the Matrix world is always circa 1999, with no progress made and everyone just unquestioningly accepting it because that's a key feature of the Matrix.

Ghosthotel posted:Yeah really wish it had the subtlety of the first movie where the main characters name is an anagram for One Seriously, one of my favorite things about the Matrix is how unsubtle its imagery and metaphors are. Not everything needs to be some arcane reference or subdued symbolism, sometimes you just gotta use a hammer and bonk the audience with it.

Zion is a perpetually-at-war state (appropriate for its name) so the currency is ostensibly labor put toward the war effort. It seems that the government of Zion provides for basic needs (housing, clothing, that slop they eat) in exchange for whatever skills you have to put toward fighting the machines.

This is the first time I’ve heard anyone complain about the romance in the Matrix. It isn’t the Notebook, the movie is better for using shorthand and getting to the point.

Noob Saibot posted:Your analysis is correct. People are reading way too much into this stuff and there’s a ton of revisionist history going on. Yes there are some elements of the trans experience in The Matrix (Switch, the red pill, living two lives,etc) but at the end of the day it’s a film about questioning authority, systems of control, nonconformity, rebellion, and individualism. It’s almost like there are multiple valid ways to read a movie

Could be that there’s a civil war within the machines and they’re both battling for control of Neo. The main machine faction repaired him and put him on blue pills as a “break glass in case of fire” type thing and the other faction finds out about him and tries to wake him up or some such. Not sure how the humans of Zion factor into it, maybe they’re a non issue since they were cowed back into submission by the terms of the detente at the end of Revolutions. E: hell, maybe it’s the machines who are trying to convince Neo that they’re actually the good guy humans so he’ll fight for them against the actual humans. They do this by trying to recreate the conditions of the first movie. Colonel Whitey fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Oct 29, 2021 |

The problem with JA was that Redmayne was the only performance that was on the movie’s wavelength. Tatum was horribly cast and Kunis was just ok. The leads needed to be better.

My one big knock on the movie is that it lacked any kind of distinctive visual flair or language. Other than that I think I liked it and can’t wait to see it again on HBO Max, a Warner Brothers product
