Just an amazing piece of photography. The copter scene is crazy. I know that was an actual copter flying, but those weren't real actors hanging...just crash test dummies, I hope. Then the copter into the building was CGI, I think. Just a brilliant piece of editing and stunt work. The original Matrix was so good. Too bad they couldn't match that level in the sequels. Anyone see the Resurrection sequel, cause I didn't when I knew that Laurence Fishburne was not returning...which made no sense. No original Morpheus...no way!
@@garyspence2128 You should. Imo it´s the second best Matrix movie if you can get differntiate between setting and intent. The whole movie is basically a meta commentary on franchise pressure, fandom, marketing, what went wrong with sequels and the conflict between creators vs. hollywood executives while not taking itself to serious. It´s not a masterpiece but it´s a fun little romp full of satire and self-awareness.
@@keanureeves8148 Neo is who we are looking for ha ha. Although I think it would be legit to see them blend his matrix skills with current level actual skills. Maybe his job is selling guns or something in number 4.
actually he was delusional in thinking he could hold the helicopter, but maybe he had the strength and power to bend physics, after all, he is the one.
@@GMax17 it wasn't just starvation and insults. first he had been beaten and broken beyond his ability to ignore the rules of the matrix, so he was feeling like someone who got Rodney King'd by a literal squad of swat. THEN they proceed to inject him with how the hell knows what drug to further push his mental state into chaos, probably forced him to not have any rest or comfort at all. And that's just what we see. I mean keep in mind all of that is just visual, what's actually happening is that his brain is being aggressively hacked into by foreign software, trying to literally rewrite his brain into a different, more maliable state. He's being actively brainwashed, and/or having his mind overwritten by the machines. That cannot feel good. Given the people like the agents, and the rebels know how to basically do magic in the matrix, by just thinking about having things work differently, the fact that we don't see hot pokers and thumbscrews, doesn't mean he isn't being tortured.
I like how Neo wrapping the rope around his arm, is the ultimate show of faith, trust and bravery. Instead of holding on to it in a way where he can let go, if need be, he fully ties himself down, like he is thinking that either he gets Trinity, or he goes down with her.
Hi Mitchell. I score films with beats. I'm a huge Matrix fan and I just wanted to share my rendition of The Matrix with you. th-cam.com/video/j1VFMmtHNKI/w-d-xo.html
It's pretty obvious that ripple is effect is unrealistic CGI but in the context of that simulated world it makes so much sense and so hasn't aged poorly at all.
the way 3:08-3:11 is shot, when I watched it the first time made me think Neo would tap into his awesome powers and somehow do some crazy shit like swing the chopper back into air or something.. I remember being disappointed by what happened.. Years later I've realized just how badass it actually is. Also the fact that the unspoken coordination between the characters; Neo trusting Trinity to hang onto that rope and losing the chopper so it won't pull him down, and Trinity trusting Neo would hang onto that rope so he can save her.. More than a decade passed and most scenes in this one still gives me chills.
to me it always looked like neo was in fact willing to atleast try to lift the chooper. (To me thats the moment he starts to believe he could be the one)
The whole movie up until this point was brilliant, but it wasn't until this scene that I knew this was indeed the best film of all time. The score, the effects, the acting, the editing, everything. Rewatching this movie still gives me goosebumps, 21 years later.
So true, the matrix is one of a kind and truly a masterpiece in every way, the story, the casting, the choreography, the editing, the music choice and wardrobe are all top shelf. There will never be another film that shook us all like the matrix did.
I still laught at how Will Smith described his auditions; he never gave them a chance, thought they were crazy... Maybe the next part will succeed in the unexpected, I'm really wondering what they want to do.
They weren't in the same room. They were clearly in the next room. The other two agents left prior. Then Smith goes out to them, then they get shot to fuck
Well, it helps that a lot of the movie was done with practical and real stunts at physical locations. The CGI helped enhance the moments. Plus it also helps to know a lot of the action takes place in a computer program. So we can be forgive the action scenes being over the top.
Every 10 years or so someone comes up with a truly unique and visionary idea. Something nobody has done before. The Wachowski's just sittin at home eaten fruit loops when one of them says "i got it, ok so we do slow motion right? Like reeeaalllly slow, but hol up, thats not all. What if, bear with me here, but what if we *move the camera at the same time*??? Like, all around, much faster than a normal camera could ever move. You know, like a full 360 at normal speed but the action is in slowmo." And just like that they created a fad that has been ripped off at least 100x and that not one movie has ever managed to do better.
@@codmott286 it wasn't the Wachowski's I believe the credit goes to the production company that was messing with the new method. They came across it and implemented it.
@@warrensabastienanderson True, I think the first public demo was a car insurance commercial, but it was much rougher without CGI to smooth out the jerky camera motion. But the wachowskis saw the potential.
Well they basically stole every cool scene from an entire decade of Anime/comics, and crammed it all into one film. Most people are unwilling to steal that much material, but the Wachowski's don't really have any morals/ethics regarding plagiarism.
@@DeathBringer769 Yes, I saw it in theaters when I was 6. I remember thinking I could have acted better than the kid who played Anakin - he almost sank the film.
I vividly remember seeing this scene in the cinema as a 16 year old. Everything up to this point was absolutely phenomenal and completely new to us and we were whispering about how cool it was, but it was the shot of the impact wave on the building and Trinity swinging away from the explosion that will forever be stuck in my memory. I was actually sitting with my mouth open in complete awe and when I looked over to my friends they were staring silently at the screen. All their faces had the expression of witnessing something they had never seen before and like they were not able to put into words what exactly they were experiencing. This memory is a very important reminder for me about the difference between watching a film at home on your small screen or a movie as a shared experience in the theater.
I have exactly the same souvenir while watching almost the entire movie. It was my first year in philosophy at high school (16 years old). I remember how the whole philosophic mind bombing we had during lessons blew my mind while watching this movie. There was a before and an after The Matrix, and very few movies can make this happen.
It's a copy of a scene from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex that came out 4 years later. You see the Wachowskis were time traveling ninjas who got their ideas from the future. th-cam.com/video/hZb-43E6clQ/w-d-xo.html
I think its cooler that the team knew exactly what the other had planned, to the extent that Neo knew he wouldn't lose his legs by holding onto the rope.
The scene of the window exploding around trinity at the end is such a timeless shot the effects on that scene alone have held up so well still so badass
The Matrix was littered with such iconic scenes!!! Even after 22 years, it can still compete with the movies made today... One of the best movies ever made!!!

Smith clearly displays some emotion though. Being "tired of this shit" is still an emotion, lol. The machine programs can still learn to feel, or have some capacity of that already pre-built into their program. I know some people discount the 2nd and 3rd movies but the 3rd movie especially shows that some programs can even love (Sati and her parents, her father describing how he feels love and what it means to him.) Smith also explains in the 2nd movie how he felt "a certain satisfaction" when he shot and presumably killed Neo near the end of the 1st movie, before he gets up and goes all "One" on them, lol. But yea, I always loved the delivery of that line too.
3:07 The slow mo, Morpheus looking in anguish, Neo making the leap of faith, the score going all frantic, merging perfectly with the helicopter’s alarm. The panic on Trinity’s face as the snap hook signals that Neo is still holding the rope. The precise shot, even the way she’s holding the rope. It’s the trilogy’s climax. I can’t think of another time they’ve made it THAT epic. Masterpiece.
God. I forgot how brilliant this was. Remember being in my 20's and feeling like the whole damn world just got cooler because of this movie...and Fight Club ;)
Agent Smith empties half a clip maybe at a stationary Neo sitting down in a helicopter and misses every shot, but shortly thereafter can fire five shots through a wall at an unseen target in motion and get Morpheus right through the ankle. And he's intentionally aiming low in order to cripple rather than kill.
Still remember it like yesterday. My friend and I, both 12 at the time, asked my dad if we could go to the movies. We looked through the newspaper to see what was in theatres (as you did back then) and came across "The Matrix", which my dad wasn't a fan of as it seemed too much of an action movie for 12 year olds. We persuaded him in the end and went to see it with the two of us and my god, did that evening change my life. People born in that year are now 22 years old, impossible for my brain to comprehend. This movie still feels so recent.
Holy shit. Checking the newspaper to check what was showing and show times. I can't remember exactly when this stopped being a thing. Definitely remember doing this during the 90s though.
What’s crazy is growing up (i was 7 at the time in 1999) we had the Matrix on DVD. I didn’t bother to watch it until last year in 2020 when I saw HBO Max had it. I said to myself “what the hell, i always hear about this movie” I got hooked ever since and watched the trilogy. Waiting for number 4 to come out.
The beauty of this scene is the total selflessness neo showed in risking his life for a friend- u can totally sense there is genuine brotherly love here.
The sound design in this sequence epitomizes how much love and thought went into this movie. Everything has so much weight. The whistling concussion of the Agent's .50 hand canons, the playful tinkle of falling brass from the minigun, the ethereal moan of rippling superstructure before an explosion of glass and steel. It's one of the key elements sorely missing from the sequels and especially The Matrix: Resurrections.
1:11 - 1:35 Considering that most of the scenes in this movie have a phylosophical meaning, I didn't realize until now that the scene when Morpheus breaks free can be considered as a metaphor of humanity's situation: enslaved, chained, and hypnotized; until the moment when he recovers his conscience, breaks his chains and stands up
Yes, it's like living in our society today aware of obscene levels of propaganda, political dogma and materialism while living beside the masses adhering to it as reality. It's incredibly disillusioning.
See, this is why I don't ever want to work in an office tower. When shit goes down, there's always some buddy crashing a helicopter into it, or a giant transforming robot from outer space falling into it, or a giant lizard stomping on it, or a big hairy ape trying to climb it!
@@DiscoverPhilippines_ even if he aimed right near mopheus. Remember bro he's the one, he's effectively Jesus, he's able to basically aim the bullets where he likes lol good think about this film. Neo is so legendary and all powerful that anything questionable to be likely or not it's easy to conclude that due to neo being the one, it some how works haha
I watched this movie with my 14 year old niece last year. She had never seen it before, and I knew it would be something she would enjoy. As this scene was happening, I glanced over to her and saw her literally at the edge of her seat, holding her breath. I think that's when I officially became the "cool uncle".
собирался как то поплавать в балтике между ригой и копенгагеном. прицеливался с борта - что если сигануть? но че то оставил затею, выловят с позором допрос опрос и т.п.
This, among many other reasons, is why this movie continues to stand up. They could have gone the easy way with CGI and gotten away with it 20 years ago, but the movie would look like obvious dog crap now. All of the hard work done by cast and crew alike from top to bottom made this movie a visual masterpiece that continues to be one of the greatest films ever made. Anyone and everyone who was a part of this should be proud of their contribution.
going back to this movie, my goodness, the emotion, the action, it's all crafted so perfectly. i remember when this came out everyone at school would pretend to dodge pencils and papers thrown at them and go "Oh! the matrix!"
I remember seeing this in the theater as a teenager. The moment at 3:09 was, and still is, one of my all time favorite movie moments for two reasons. From a character perspective, it's the defining moment for Neo when we realize what the Oracle said was not true and because of that it's also a sort of twist to the plot. When he grabs the rope you have no idea what's actually about to happen. And then from an action perspective it was just a totally jaw dropping sequence. The entire thing is mind-blowing, starting from the lobby and culminating in the helicopter crash. Pure movie magic.
Still a quality film til now because, if u make a movie and u put all ur heart and soul and money into it and adding ur real true desire to do it best...thats the result..
It is STILL probably the #1 action movie of all time. 1. First scene were trinity defeats the cops & escapes the dumptruck in a phone booth 2. Penetrating the agents building security checks 3. "Trinity Help!" fight scene on the roof. 4. Helicopter scene (this one). 5. Subway fight scene ...
Guess not even an agent can dodge bullets coming at 1200+ RPM. XD (doesn't hurt that "death" for an agent is little more than a temporary setback as well)
After so many iconic shots one after the other in this sequence, Trinity slamming into the glass at the end feels like a mic drop from the cinematographer.
I love this scene so much. I watched this 20 years ago when I was 7, how amazing this was I can’t describe it. My world was shaken right to the foundation
@@Bat-Twenty-Two yeah honestly! She was also relegated to the sort of ‘ damsel in distress’ role , which I hated ! I loved her in this movie .She looked so fierce yet feminine at the same time.
3:09 Crazy how it seemed absurd to even think about doing what Neo was trying to do there in the first movie but by the end of the trilogy Neo was capable of doing even more than just that.
i dont belive neo is the one hes tallented but after seeing the theories that smith is the one and when the oracle said hes not the one i think hes just a skilled hacker in the system and the machines only used him to get rid of smith since smith was was just starting to understand after he was unplugged by neo that he had full control of the matrix and he made it in his image
0:07 (Flash backwards) Neo: "What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?" Morpheus: "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to... *I* will have to, because that's the only way I'll manage to survive this scene."

God. I forgot how brilliant this was. Remember being in my 20's and feeling like the whole damn world just got cooler because of this movie...and Fight Club ;)
And Lord of the rings
You do not talk about fight club
@@eduardbane79 shut up
And Harry Potter
I once saw him in the club kills 3 men with a pencil
It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 sec....Oh wait, wrong franchise.
Some tf2 shit is going on here :)?!
at least we know who touched heavy's gun
Agent Smith is spy!
Really? Fucken taxes!!
Shhhh! You are dead!
Agent Smith empties half a clip maybe at a stationary Neo sitting down in a helicopter and misses every shot, but shortly thereafter can fire five shots through a wall at an unseen target in motion and get Morpheus right through the ankle. And he's intentionally aiming low in order to cripple rather than kill.
Watching it again, I am not sure if Neo was trying to save Morpheus or kill him.
LOL

Still remember it like yesterday. My friend and I, both 12 at the time, asked my dad if we could go to the movies. We looked through the newspaper to see what was in theatres (as you did back then) and came across "The Matrix", which my dad wasn't a fan of as it seemed too much of an action movie for 12 year olds. We persuaded him in the end and went to see it with the two of us and my god, did that evening change my life. People born in that year are now 22 years old, impossible for my brain to comprehend. This movie still feels so recent.
Hell yeah. Im 22.
I'm sort of close. I'm going to be 19 soon
Not to be rude, but i think your math is a bit off. Simply because I watched this when it came out as a child as well and I am not 22
Holy shit. Checking the newspaper to check what was showing and show times.
I can't remember exactly when this stopped being a thing. Definitely remember doing this during the 90s though.
What’s crazy is growing up (i was 7 at the time in 1999) we had the Matrix on DVD. I didn’t bother to watch it until last year in 2020 when I saw HBO Max had it. I said to myself “what the hell, i always hear about this movie”
I got hooked ever since and watched the trilogy. Waiting for number 4 to come out.
0:13 just like Neo, he said "No" to bullets. But he failed to realize, that he is not the choosen one, so he died.
He is though
Morpheus is like: is he really bout to lift that helicopter
still Morpheus:he is even stronger then i though..and crazy
1:02 so was that guard just chilling there listening to the gunfire and glass shattering in the next room? Cool.
Maybe he is careful
Everyone had orders not to come in, remember? Because Smith was taking off his earpiece and interrogating Morph.
A sound of a thousand gunshots and a room being wrecked? Just their usual interrogation... I better not intervene
Would you go into a room where a minigun (the guard would have recognised the sound) is fired?
I wouldn't!!!!
@@brav0wing good point: 2 for 1 -- obey orders AND avoid walking into a shredder.
(1:43) Trinity's kick and Neo dodging bullets are iconic, but this bullet-time sequence deserves recognition.
I always wondered whether the billet that but Morpheus was a ricochet or a direct hit
The beauty of this scene is the total selflessness neo showed in risking his life for a friend- u can totally sense there is genuine brotherly love here.
Funny thing is he could have easily killed him in this scene going ham on the minigun
JOKE SHOWS NOTHING!
Its funny to see morpheous and neo in John wick again.
DingDongChingChong One of the Agents in Matrix Reloaded is in one of the John Wick movies too
@@AfroCentauri and the key maker
Citrus Lump really!? The key maker was the doctor?
@@Alan-weiheng Yes.
Basically why we're getting a new Matrix, all the people are still around.
The sound design in this sequence epitomizes how much love and thought went into this movie. Everything has so much weight. The whistling concussion of the Agent's .50 hand canons, the playful tinkle of falling brass from the minigun, the ethereal moan of rippling superstructure before an explosion of glass and steel. It's one of the key elements sorely missing from the sequels and especially The Matrix: Resurrections.
22 year later and this is STILL the most incredible helicopter scene EVER FILMED.
Apocalypse Now would like to have a word with you.
@@CPtheCoug what the scene was a swarm of helicopters playing Ride of the Valkyries? Boring ....
Mission Impossible would like a word.
It wasn’t CGI or practical effects. It was literally a real helicopter. And Tom Cruise actually flew it!
25 years later wake up gilllies-neo the Matrix has you
1:11 - 1:35
Considering that most of the scenes in this movie have a phylosophical meaning, I didn't realize until now that the scene when Morpheus breaks free can be considered as a metaphor of humanity's situation: enslaved, chained, and hypnotized; until the moment when he recovers his conscience, breaks his chains and stands up
Yes, it's like living in our society today aware of obscene levels of propaganda, political dogma and materialism while living beside the masses adhering to it as reality. It's incredibly disillusioning.
Most don’t break free though lol… this will only apply to the true badasses.
1:32 The most vibration-free Bell 212 ever.
3:31-3:41 is one of my absolute favorite action shots of all time
Best Helicopter scene of - all time - all movies - eternal.
This how my best friend better save me if I’m ever in danger.
He’d probably kill you completely by accident but yes I agree lol
And who is your best friend...Chucky?

@@TheTmat007 jjjjjiiiijiiiijji
@@j4mesw0ng69 how
this has to be one of my favorite scenes from the Matrix
3:11 Morpheus is like what have I gotten myself into with this dude.
See, this is why I don't ever want to work in an office tower. When shit goes down, there's always some buddy crashing a helicopter into it, or a giant transforming robot from outer space falling into it, or a giant lizard stomping on it, or a big hairy ape trying to climb it!
lazylank
Or exotic cars jumping through buildings.
Oh yeah, I missed that one! HAHA
Or earthquakes and u getting smashed
Or a green giant throw an alien into your room while himself smash your wall
Or kryptonians throwing each other through it
This scene still blows my mind 21 years later.

LMAO x 10000

Ghhhhhhh
The biggest question is how did Neo not hit Morpheus once? Shooting up the whole room with a Minigun.
Edit: where did all these likes come from!
He is the One
Same question to me since so many yrs ...the answer is he is the ONE
".....hes the ONE!.."
If you look at that scene, Neo fires in a circle motion, presumably to avoid Morpheus.
@@DiscoverPhilippines_ even if he aimed right near mopheus. Remember bro he's the one, he's effectively Jesus, he's able to basically aim the bullets where he likes lol good think about this film. Neo is so legendary and all powerful that anything questionable to be likely or not it's easy to conclude that due to neo being the one, it some how works haha
Still as good as I remember. How is that possible? This film is a masterpiece
I love watching the shells rain from the sky...
I took a screenshot of it.haha
imagine that shit raining on your head
,কবকববোিসোেনেসেোটডব
03:35 Damn! This is the Best shot i ever see in an action movie!!
I watched this movie with my 14 year old niece last year. She had never seen it before, and I knew it would be something she would enjoy. As this scene was happening, I glanced over to her and saw her literally at the edge of her seat, holding her breath. I think that's when I officially became the "cool uncle".
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I love that instead of CGI the bullet splashes in the water are from a layer of high power sprinklers under the water. Greatly done.
собирался как то поплавать в балтике между ригой и копенгагеном. прицеливался с борта - что если сигануть? но че то оставил затею, выловят с позором допрос опрос и т.п.
That golden age between practical and digital when film makers utilized every tool in the shed depending simply on what worked best for each scene.
@@felixnovaes4113 what?
This, among many other reasons, is why this movie continues to stand up. They could have gone the easy way with CGI and gotten away with it 20 years ago, but the movie would look like obvious dog crap now. All of the hard work done by cast and crew alike from top to bottom made this movie a visual masterpiece that continues to be one of the greatest films ever made. Anyone and everyone who was a part of this should be proud of their contribution.
going back to this movie, my goodness, the emotion, the action, it's all crafted so perfectly. i remember when this came out everyone at school would pretend to dodge pencils and papers thrown at them and go "Oh! the matrix!"
When the Helicopter is going down at 3:08 you can still see the two bullet holes near the engine door. Incredible.
1:25 When NoNutNovember is finally over
This is the kinda film that you’d want to go back and see in the original theatres for the first time. To both watch the film and the audiences.
I was there, everyone lost their shit.
Yeah if they ever succeed in building a time machine I know where I'm going
Nope i dont like theaters
I remember seeing this in the theater as a teenager. The moment at 3:09 was, and still is, one of my all time favorite movie moments for two reasons. From a character perspective, it's the defining moment for Neo when we realize what the Oracle said was not true and because of that it's also a sort of twist to the plot. When he grabs the rope you have no idea what's actually about to happen. And then from an action perspective it was just a totally jaw dropping sequence. The entire thing is mind-blowing, starting from the lobby and culminating in the helicopter crash. Pure movie magic.
The scene at 3:05 still gives me chills after all these years
I cant believe that it is 90s movie
I can, i remember when it was released, i dont want to say anything, but i can see how cheesy it is :P
I King you said u dont want to say anything, but u did
I King How is that cheesy?
It’s not like movies got much better since tho
Still a quality film til now because, if u make a movie and u put all ur heart and soul and money into it and adding ur real true desire to do it best...thats the result..
I wish I can see this for the first time again in the cinema. I would've gripped my seat so hard during this. What a legendary scene.
Whoa, nice use of Primacord, 3.6g/m if I remember correctly.
Whats that?

One of the absolute greatest scenes of all time
It is STILL probably the #1 action movie of all time.
1. First scene were trinity defeats the cops & escapes the dumptruck in a phone booth
2. Penetrating the agents building security checks
3. "Trinity Help!" fight scene on the roof.
4. Helicopter scene (this one).
5. Subway fight scene ...

3:11 , when you realize there’s no more toilet paper .... I love this entire scene so much, my favorite movie of all time & my top 5 is stacked !
0:55 This shot is so satisfying, both visually and aurally.
Epic teamwork and meeting of the minds.
It's fantastic when two people know exactly what the others going to do without being told to.
Neo. Smart.
Dayum 0:13 never realized how awesome this scene was.
Notice the agents didnt even try to dodge the mini gun like they usually dodge bullets lol
Guess not even an agent can dodge bullets coming at 1200+ RPM. XD
(doesn't hurt that "death" for an agent is little more than a temporary setback as well)
After so many iconic shots one after the other in this sequence, Trinity slamming into the glass at the end feels like a mic drop from the cinematographer.
1:27 me after eating chick-fil-a for dinner.
this scene was always hilarious. i expected agent smith to yell or something but he's just like "......no."
1:43 That is the most awesome thing
I love this scene so much. I watched this 20 years ago when I was 7, how amazing this was I can’t describe it. My world was shaken right to the foundation
Trinity’s look in this movie was way cooler than the sequels.
Agreed. A lot better than the form-fitting trash bag they stuck her in.
@@Bat-Twenty-Two yeah honestly! She was also relegated to the sort of ‘ damsel in distress’ role , which I hated ! I loved her in this movie .She looked so fierce yet feminine at the same time.

"I new it, he's the one" the Classic scene just missed.
One of the best movies ever
Watched this for first time in ages yesterday. It's better than 99% of modern films. Masterpiece.
This movie will run full house even if it is re released in 2050
SriVinayaga Perumal “Classics night”
I'd be there to watch it!
Matrix 4 is coming in 2020
Abhinav Banerjee
Sorry i meant 2022,And the sequal is coming just search it,write matrix 4
I agree
What they did with the technology they had is just incredible. The visual effects were so cutting edge.
Can't believe we went from this to the shitty Matrix 4 movie. Rip 2021.
This movie was boring matrix 2 and 3 was more action.
Matrix 4 tried 2 imitate this scene with Morpheus shooting police as he tried 2 give Neo the red pill & save him.
Matrix Resurrections isn't shitty. It gave Neo and Trinity a happy Ending which they both always deserved.
yep you can imagine what i felt when i had paid to watch it at the cinema - gutted
Agent: No
Neo in Rocket's voice: Ohhh~ yeaahhh..AAAAAAAHAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
3:09 Crazy how it seemed absurd to even think about doing what Neo was trying to do there in the first movie but by the end of the trilogy Neo was capable of doing even more than just that.
That honestly has to be one of the sickest sequences in move history. So so good
Tank: "I knew it, he IS The One."
i dont belive neo is the one hes tallented but after seeing the theories that smith is the one and when the oracle said hes not the one i think hes just a skilled hacker in the system and the machines only used him to get rid of smith since smith was was just starting to understand after he was unplugged by neo that he had full control of the matrix and he made it in his image
0:07
(Flash backwards)
Neo: "What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?"
Morpheus: "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to... *I* will have to, because that's the only way I'll manage to survive this scene."
"Morpheus gathers courage and breaks the chain"
Neo: "Hes the one"
20+ years old and still totally badass
20 years ago it was like a science fiction movie, nowadays it feels like a future is coming lol
We will never get another masterpiece like that
M.IV can't even touch how good this movie is.
What an awesome movie.
Every scene is done so well.
