what was actually supposed to be the problem with living in a virtual world. You still get to live a life and the 'real world' was a blasted hellscape anyway right so who cares. It's not like the other people in the Matrix are fake. Except Agent Smith but he was still a guy. just a dickhead

the problem is that once you discover you're living in a light up jizz coccoon, it's hard to go back to living in the jizz coccoon. although if you watch the newest matrix movie you discover that's exactly what neo and trinity chose to do lol

The Matrix is a metaphor for late stage capitalism. You're comfortable but at the cost of being little more than a commodity and if you get too uppity you're disappeared.

The point is that in 1999 pretty much anything was preferable to being a 30-something cubicle worker and they dreamed of living in a hellworld eating gruel to survive.

I've always wondered why Trinity wore that skin tight leather/latex suit while she was doing a Matrix run it seems like that would restrict her movement you'd think she'd want like sweat pants and a hoodie or like a karate uniform to look tough or just go full nude if she wanted to be sexy and keep range of motion. The whole 'wrap me as tight as possible in bondage gear that really makes it hard for me to move, great thanks' just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Then again I'm not a cybernet action ninja woman doing kung fu flips in a virtual world against renegade computer office workers.

it was the 90's and being a comfortable middle class american was the worst possible fate.

once you realise the world is fake, you get superpowers. that's even worse, though.

It's mostly a metaphor for a lot of poo poo, OP and very fun.

You have to at least partly accept what the movie tells you which is that a small percentage of people just don't accept the matrix fully on a fundamental level

Sequels do other things with this but the first movie is pretty loving great on it's own anyway

I've only seen a trailer for new matrix and it seems like it's got some hosed up messages that definitely won't harm public at large. If you think you're in the matrix please take the pills your doctor prescribes, flushing them down the toilet doesn't make you some kinda badass resistance fighter, just an unmedicated schizophrenic

Do they shave all the pod people every day? Neo isn't bald. His hair grows back almost immediately after he's let out of his pod but he's smooth bald in the pod which means his head was shaved that day.

I didn't really find it that memorable of a movie. Ive only seen the first one. Watched it as a teenager because I wanted to get what people were talking about.

He says that, but then does tell neo and the audience exactly what it is and you're like 'ok I basically understand the concept' so I dunno why he says it can't be explained. He just did. Like if you walked up to someone who never heard of it could you give them a rough overview of the idea of the matrix based on the plot of the movies?

Yeah. Like this isn't some impossible ask, here, Morpheus.

If you tell someone what the Matrix is while inside the Matrix, the Matrix will know you have told someone inside the Matric what the Matrix is. And the Matrix will be very upset. And you don't want to upset the Matrix while you are inside of the Matrix.
