The only explanation I've heard for the sentinels he destroys is that even when he isn't physically connected he still has a "wifi" connection that still allows him to feel and interact with it. Basically, he's intuitively hacking the sentinels and causing them to self destruct or malfunction in a way that destroys them.
Mary, if I'm not mistaken Keanu did all of the fighting choreography and wire work. He trained for months to be able to do that stuff for the first movie. They all did.
Yeah i never knew this but heard other day that Jet Li played Seriph originally, worked on the film for a year but he was annnoyed they tried to enhance his martial arts with special effect and cgi or whatever so he quit and replaced with another actor, some of his moves are still there but yeah. I wished it had been Jet Li in the final movie, no offence to the other actor but what a shame....
Bane isn’t just a traitor. He’s Agent Smith. Smith replicated himself onto Bane in the matrix, then answered the phone call pulling Smith into Bane’s real world mind. Smith literally is in Bane now in the real world.
A lot of reactors seem to miss this somehow. I thought the scene where Smith literally takes over his body and answers the phone AND how he speaks exactly the same as Smith makes it pretty obvious.
@@daurydavis3983 They literally show it happen in the movie, it’s not a mystery to the viewer. If it was then the ending shot wouldn’t even make sense to build tension lmao
The "come here" hand gesture is actually a Bruce Lee reference the same as in the first Matrix film when Neo is fighting Morpheus and Neo bounces side to side and flicks his nose before settling into his fighting stance and also the "come here" hand gesture Neo does to Agent Smith in the train station fight.
I also liked the Second Matrix but if you see the first Matrix 20 years after it was released, it is definitely going to have less impact. So many things have copied the first Matrix that it's ideas are no longer new anymore. But when The Matrix first came out, it was totally revolutionary.
@@moiseman A false world meant to enslave humanity had definitely been a trope since ancient times, but it was the unique way it used this trope and the movie's structure as a whole that was revolutionary. It's influence on popular culture worldwide is unquestionable. That alone shows how crazy and fresh it was.
Agree in part but i think Even new watchers can apreciate that the first one has a better setting, tone, and filming than other 2, regarding what was your favorite
Fun Fact: Carrie Ann Moss was actually terrified of Motorcycles, and she used the highway scene as a means to get over it. you can see in some scenes in that segment how nervous she was on her face.
The hand gesture by morphis did not originate with him. It was actually started by Bruce Lee. He may have done it in a few. I believe he did it warner bros movie, Enter the Dragon.
that's the funny thing about references isn't it? I'm sure more people have seen this than enter the dragon, and it's been referenced so many times it's almost part of the grammar of the genre
Yeah, it's more elaborate in the first one. When Neo and Morpheus fight, Neo shakes his body and scratches his nose which is a Bruce Lee move and Morpheus in return does the "let's go" gesture to show him that he knows Jeet Kune Do as well.
And if we stick with just Morpheus: he did it in the first Matrix movie as well, so it didn't originate with this film either. No matter who originated it.
The Merovingian saying "Mark my words boy, I have survived your predecessors and I will survive you" at 16:00 is a very important line! Neo's first introduction to the iterations of the Matrix.
No, the first introduction to the previous iterations of the Matrix & the One is stated in the first movie when Morpheus told Neo the story about the One who freed the first of humanity & created Zion. Also, Agent Smith was telling a lot about the first iteration of the Matrix, which humanity rejected because it was too perfect.
Are you planning on reacting to Animatrix? It's a set of 9 short animated videos, that take place in the world of Matrix. First 4 of them (in my opinion) are very important to Matrix Lore.
It's ironic that in the first film Smith compared humanity to a virus then became a virus himself I wonder if that was something that was planned from the beginning or it just happened when they were writing the script for Reloaded
Probably why they were able to film it as clearly as they did. You can always tell what's going on in every fight scene? Probably no stunt doubles to hide.
Non-spoilery info: Seraphim, The Merovingion, Persephone, the ghosts and so on are remnant programs from previous versions of the Matrix. Agent Smith described elements of the previous versions in the first movie when he was "brain washing" Morpheus. The Architect, the Keymaker, the Agents (well maybe not Smith), and yes even the Oracle are definitely part of the Machines plan as they DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE to the creation of "the One".
In the first movie, when Neo is detained by the police, about to be interrogated by the agents, we can see the camera view enter the scene through a video-screen. That was one of the screens in the Architect's room.
Oh Yeah, nice catch, i never really noticed that, i have seen the original Matrix film probably more then any film ever made, well along with the Dark Knight, only seen Matrix Reloaded maybe 3 times...
It is funny. Very few people ever point out that Morpheus told Smith that all Agents look the same. Then Smith decides to turn everyone into a clone of himself.
unfortunately there's three sources that tell A LOT more about the history and lore of The Matrix. Enter The Matrix, Matrix The Path of Neo, and the no longer accessible Matrix Online. But Mary, watch the movie again and listen to The Oracle and The Architect. Listen closely, they talk about Ghosts, Warewolves and 'unexplained paranormal things'. Enter the Matrix was the best movie/video game crossover in the history of video games IMO. For example in the game you play the Niobe driving scene, getting to the point where you are behind the truck, you then as a cut scene catch Morpheus and circle round to the front, Morpheus leaps off your car and then the game takes over from that point with you driving again.

Enter The Matrix & Path To Neo are gold. They should teach the rest of the industry how to adapt, to integrate, and to complement movie storylines into video games.
Keanu, yeah he really got into it martial arts making this movie and did quite a few of the stunts and fighting himself and continued on with Martial arts even after the movies ended.
Glad to see this from you, Mary! Not a lot of people enjoy the 2nd and 3rd films, so it's cool to see you dive into the conclusion. And yes, Neo is still the GOAT. And so is Keanu Reeves 🤣
Concur on the Animatrix suggestions. It was released before this one, so you can watch it any time you want, really. But interesting shorts in various animation styles that explain some story elements as well as some that simply take place in the same universe.
one thing it seems you're confused about when you wanted them to get neo out during his fight with Smith he has to go to the location of a Hardline before they can unplug him
From my understanding of the story, Neo is technically not a normal human being, some machine world coding (of the one) had been imprinted on him at birth (when it was time for the Matrix to undergo a new cycle). When he visited the Architect in the admin control room, he was basically able to unlock all of his programming capabilities (as all previous versions of Neo chose to save Zion from extinction). So when Neo said "he can feel them" it's because he's still connected to the machine mainframe as he carries the code to reset the server. Which is how he displayed his newfound abilities.

Neo is a sentient program on its sixth version. The Architect designed the green world “perfect” and Zion is a virtual world designed by the Oracle.
24:01 "This is the last thing they need to deal with right now." Yeah, but Smith saved Morpheus, without knowing, by stalling them long enough for Trinity to bring down the grid. Neo would have survived if the building exploded as soon as they opened the door, and the Keymaker apparently was always meant to die right there.
actually the first movie was my favorite because I knew absolutely nothing about it.. no trailer no memes.. no internet chatter... I went to the movies.. and there it was .. "what's this?" and was completely freaked in the first 10 minutes.. and hooked for the rest.
The Oracle spoke to Neo about programs not doing what they were supposed to as being misinterpreted by humans, so the white twins are ghosts, and others are werewolves and vampires.
The neo multi Smith fight was something to behold when I saw it in the cinema and to properly fill this universe out you have to see the animatrix which will answer a lot of your questions..... if you're a fan of synth Mary check out jean Michel Jarre.
This film is fun and it has definitely grown on me in recent years but imo it is in no way better than the first. The first is a classic that spurred years of memes and copycats. The second is a fun sci Fi action movie with some shitty dialogue here and there and some really dated special effects.
@@ohmygodimonfire4 why? What happens that is so important? Can’t go deeper without spoilers but you could go to Revolutions without missing much. Plus, how many people died because Neo chose his own wants over humanity?
The majority of the music that you're vibing to is Rob Dougan (Clubbed to Death, Furious Angels Instrumental, Chateau) and Don Davis's score. The Soundtracks also have some great stuff from Paul Oakenfold, Rage Against the Machine, Linkin Park and Deftones.
20 years old! Crazy this was my first introduction to the Wachowski's biggest sci-fi franchise in Hollywood I did not become a matrix fan until this one came out, still my #1 movie of 2003 I remember seeing it with my dad and my sister opening weekend I absolutely loved this building upon the first movie's mythology expanding more with its philosophical ideas Everyone of course wears the black leather attire, sunglasses, coats, and crazy hairdos when jacked in Yes the movie is filled with so much dialogue being long-winded and at times the writing being pretentious The leads come off as bland taking it so seriously Still, The Wachowskis really stepped up from the first movie making incredible visuals, a futuristic perspective, and amazing action sequences The Smith clone fight is the best action sequence in the whole trilogy and the freeway chase is continuously suspenseful One of my favorite soundtracks too and the score by Don Davis is a great mixture of dub step meets orchestral Still had one of the best cliffhangers in a trilogy And thankfully fans have given it a critical reappraisal since its release It has more than a handful of weighty topics; much more to say with the politics of choice, the existence of fate, and its importance Is choice an illusion, everything is about causality, what if tomorrow war could just end; isn't that worth fighting for/dying for, is hope the delusion as our greatest strength and weakness, what is control?, we need machines and they need us Plus it makes a statement on the insidious cycle of power even if it was too complex for people just wanting some kicks and flips Seeing it as adolescence and teenage years with Neo still making his way through both the real world and the Matrix Overall it's an massive improvement over the previous movie you just have trek through some rough patches
Wow I didn't know that, all this time I thought they were the brothers from the boy band BROS they were famous singers from England in the 90s and later became actors. One of them is also in Blade 2, Luke or Matt Goss as a vampire.
Your Doritos say Cheese Supreme and here in the US I believe they are Nacho Cheese! Both have the same color bag and I’ve never heard of cheese supreme?!
*Hint:* what if I told that you're still in the matrix, that there is no escape from it? But hey! That's just a theory! A *Film Theory!* Aaaand cut. lol
Naw, that hand gesture never came from this movie. It came from 70's kung fu movies. Most notably: Bruce Lee movies. But I'm sure it was done in Asian movies before Bruce went back there to shoot The Big Boss.
Burly Brawl. Fights with Agent Smith-Neo go as follows-The Matrix Brawl, Reloaded Burly Brawl, Revolutions-Super Burly Brawl. behind the scenes of matrix reloaded-type this in and you'll find all the footage seeing as how you probably don't have the dvd/blurays.
i'm glad you enjoyed the movie. i love all 3 Matrix films. oh and it's easy to miss on the first watch but you can clearly notice stunt doubles if you look for it on a 2nd watch. the scene where Neo is fighting the multiple Smiths for example, you can tell that it's Chad Stahelski and not Neo when some more complex moves are being performed. you can also tell that some of the Smiths further away from the camera aren't even Hugo Weaving. this was still amazing CGI and special effects for the time.
The 2 part Animatrix shorts on the war between humans and the machines is well worth watching.

32:25 “How can Neo feel the Sentinels in the real world?” I will answer this with a question, How did Agent Smith enter Bane's body in the real world?. And the Architect laid clearly Neo is the sixth version of himself, Neo is not human but a program, then How come Neo, a program, is in the real world?. Lot of plot twists just in this second movie.
Keane Reeves is of Chinese descent and knows a few fighting styles. So he most likely does all of his own stunts. He does in John Wick l. So can't see why he don't here.
Incredible sequel and everything stepped up on every level. So great that this and part 3 were hitting theatres same year, months apart. Two things happened during it's release: 1.The Animatrix (anime short film collection) was mind-blowing with Final Flight of The Osiris as the prelude to Reloaded. 2.Enter The Matrix-the video game with Niobe (Jada Pinkett-Smith) & Ghost (Anthony Wong) takes place during Reloaded and was a very good game. The character of Zee who is played by Nona Gaye (Marvin Gaye's daughter) was a recasting. Aaliyah had been casted as Zee first. She filmed scenes for both sequels and hadn't finished due to her untimely passing. Keanu Reeves and Monica Bellucci (Persephone) have worked together before in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
The one thing that bugs me with the matrix movies, and I know it’s intentional, every time you or I would say “I think…” in the matrix it’s always “I believe…”
Did Keanu Reeves learn how to fight?... Yes, absolutely. This is another one of those great classic films where the actors were so invested they learnt the skills necessary to fight/ride motorcycles (in the case of Trinity)/handle & fire weapons. This is one of the reasons I love films from this era. There was less fakeness to them, and you can really notice it during the watch.
13:06 Persephone from Greek/Roman Mythology (Roman name Proserpine). Daughter of Zeus (God of Thunder and King of the Gods) and Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest) - yes they were brother and sister, and he's married to their other sister Hera and mostly slept with/attacked Demeter out of jealousy when he found out about her affair with one of his sons (the result of another affair) Iasion. By birth Persephone (meaning 'bringer of death', her birth name was Kore - the maiden) is the Goddess of Spring, by her marriage to her uncle Hades (God of the Dead, King of the Underworld, God of Wealth) she's the Queen of the Underworld. Some say she was kidnapped and forced into marrying Hades, others say she married him willingly, in any case because she ate the seeds from a pomegranate which grew in the underworld she has to spend one month of the year for every seed she ate with her husband, the rest she spends with her mother - who whenever her daughter leaves her becomes so depressed she stops anything from growing, including the flowers and the crops. It's how the ancient greeks explained the changing seasons.

Sadly, if they unplug Neo when he's in the matrix, it will kill him. They have to make it to a phone to be unplugged.

Actually, bruce lee has done that "Come here" hand gesture in his movies.
Same with the nose flick/rub thing that Neo does in the first matrix dojo fight scene. They’re all nods to Bruce Lee films.

Facts!
To answer your question, yes: about 90% of what you see in terms of the fight scenes is Keanu doing it himself. He's a dedicated actor.
Probably why they were able to film it as clearly as they did. You can always tell what's going on in every fight scene? Probably no stunt doubles to hide.
Also kudos for Carry Ann Moss, she was actually piloting that motorcycle.
@@rafaelalodio5116 Yup, most of the cast was dedicated

The highway chase scene, that music is so good I actively searched and watched that scene many times in TH-cam.
It's not 'Agent' Smith anymore, just Smith.
The fact he used his powers outside of the matrix was supposed to be surprising. No one knew about it, even him at the time
But does he have those powers outside the Matrix though? After all, sometimes when you exit Windows, you're simply in Linux.
@@andrewrichards312 exactly
Yeah that scene is the giveaway that Zion is also inside a program, the matrix is a simulation inside of a simulation.
I thought it was that Neo the program was so powerful, it even over-wrote his real self. Same way Agent Smith was able to over-write Bane.
From my understanding of the story, Neo is technically not a normal human being, some machine world coding (of the one) had been imprinted on him at birth (when it was time for the Matrix to undergo a new cycle). When he visited the Architect in the admin control room, he was basically able to unlock all of his programming capabilities (as all previous versions of Neo chose to save Zion from extinction).

Neo is a sentient program on its sixth version. The Architect designed the green world “perfect” and Zion is a virtual world designed by the Oracle.
@ what's the evidence for Zion being virtual instead of a city built by machines as controlled opposition?
24:01 "This is the last thing they need to deal with right now." Yeah, but Smith saved Morpheus, without knowing, by stalling them long enough for Trinity to bring down the grid.

Persephone in Greek mythology was stolen away to the underworld by Pluto and had to spend half the year on earth and half in the underworld.
20 years old!
Crazy this was my first introduction to the Wachowski's biggest sci-fi franchise in Hollywood
I did not become a matrix fan until this one came out, still my #1 movie of 2003
I remember seeing it with my dad and my sister opening weekend
I absolutely loved this building upon the first movie's mythology expanding more
with its philosophical ideas
Everyone of course wears the black leather attire, sunglasses, coats, and crazy hairdos when jacked in
Yes the movie is filled with so much dialogue being long-winded and at times the writing being pretentious
The leads come off as bland taking it so seriously
Still, The Wachowskis really stepped up from the first movie making incredible visuals, a futuristic perspective, and amazing action sequences
The Smith clone fight is the best action sequence in the whole trilogy and the freeway chase is continuously suspenseful
One of my favorite soundtracks too and the score by Don Davis is a great mixture of dub step meets orchestral
Still had one of the best cliffhangers in a trilogy
And thankfully fans have given it a critical reappraisal since its release
It has more than a handful of weighty topics; much more to say with the politics of choice, the existence of fate, and its importance
Is choice an illusion, everything is about causality, what if tomorrow war could just end; isn't that worth fighting for/dying for, is hope the delusion as our greatest strength and weakness, what is control?, we need machines and they need us
Plus it makes a statement on the insidious cycle of power even if it was too complex for people just wanting some kicks and flips
Seeing it as adolescence and teenage years with Neo still making his way through both the real world and the Matrix
Overall it's an massive improvement over the previous movie you just have trek through some rough patches
Keanu does his own stunts for the most part yes
Not difficult when 90% of his action is done by a rubbery looking cgi version of him.
@@crankfastle8138 as if i was referring to matrix reloaded only lol
Keanu Does most or all his stunts. The John Wick movies are definitely Keanu doing the stunts and should be another series to dive into.
I thought you might have recognized that freeway scene, Mary. I believe it was shot in Australia.
That "Come get it !" hand gesture come from old kung fu movies, but most famously from Bruce Lee.
"How many agent Smiths are there?"
To answer your question: yes.
The two Albino twins are quite literally 2 paint and decorating brothers from England. another fun fact they painted my utility room.
Wow I didn't know that, all this time I thought they were the brothers from the boy band BROS they were famous singers from England in the 90s and later became actors. One of them is also in Blade 2, Luke or Matt Goss as a vampire.
Matt and Luke Goss could literally have played the twins and nobody would have noticed the difference. Both have English accents too.
20:25 Wow. That was amazing.
If you can, I'd suggest wacthing the Animatrix short films as well.
Yes Keanu does his own stunts :)
SO glad you continued this, a lot of reacters seem to avoid the sequels, they are pretty great.
The whole trilogy is a masterpiece of science fiction.
2 and 3 is because of studio greed which is why they was not liked.
There is no 'trilogy' and no 'sequels'
There is only ONE Matrix movie.
My favorite part of this movie is Neo fighting all the Agents Smith and Morpheus fighting on the freeway.
In Greek mythology, Persephone was the name of Hades' wife
Matrix 4 let's goooo! 💪
The highway scene is my favorite part of the movie.
Neo's powers in real world you can understand as 'wifi connection'. He can overload some of machines to take them down.
Keanu did have a stunt double that did some of the harder wire work and such.
And he's the director of JOHN WICK
The behind the scenes Doc on this is cool
Your Doritos say Cheese Supreme and here in the US I believe they are Nacho Cheese! Both have the same color bag and I’ve never heard of cheese supreme?!
yes keanu trained for this. same with john wick
*Hint:* what if I told that you're still in the matrix, that there is no escape from it?
But hey! That's just a theory! A *Film Theory!* Aaaand cut. lol
It isn't a theory though. 😂
YESSS sequel lovers unite! 😍
Naw, that hand gesture never came from this movie. It came from 70's kung fu movies. Most notably: Bruce Lee movies. But I'm sure it was done in Asian movies before Bruce went back there to shoot The Big Boss.
8:06 Keanu knows a lot of martial arts in real life, it's what made him perfect for the Matrix and John Wick.
No the hand gesture is an homage to Bruce Lee.
I mean people have probably associated it to this movie
11:50 he has to be at a phone remember they cant just pull the plug it will kill him
The hand wave is a homage to Bruce lee
Burly Brawl. Fights with Agent Smith-Neo go as follows-The Matrix Brawl, Reloaded Burly Brawl, Revolutions-Super Burly Brawl. behind the scenes of matrix reloaded-type this in and you'll find all the footage seeing as how you probably don't have the dvd/blurays.
That "come get some" hand move actually originated from Bruce Lee!
Reeves did in fact train in wushu for realz for this role...
A lot of it was Keanu. You can see the behind the scenes. I'm sure it's here to see on you tube. They all did some extensive training.
i'm glad you enjoyed the movie. i love all 3 Matrix films. oh and it's easy to miss on the first watch but you can clearly notice stunt doubles if you look for it on a 2nd watch. the scene where Neo is fighting the multiple Smiths for example, you can tell that it's Chad Stahelski and not Neo when some more complex moves are being performed. you can also tell that some of the Smiths further away from the camera aren't even Hugo Weaving. this was still amazing CGI and special effects for the time.
The 2 part Animatrix shorts on the war between humans and the machines is well worth watching.
32:25 “How can Neo feel the Sentinels in the real world?” I will answer this with a question, How did Agent Smith enter Bane's body in the real world?. And the Architect laid clearly Neo is the sixth version of himself, Neo is not human but a program, then How come Neo, a program, is in the real world?. Lot of plot twists just in this second movie.
Keane Reeves is of Chinese descent and knows a few fighting styles. So he most likely does all of his own stunts. He does in John Wick l. So can't see why he don't here.
20:26 no they got it from Bruce Lee
Neo and Trinity need to become Revan and Bastilla. It just needs to happen.
Incredible sequel and everything stepped up on every level.
So great that this and part 3 were hitting theatres same year, months apart.
Two things happened during it's release:
1.The Animatrix (anime short film collection) was mind-blowing with Final Flight of The Osiris as the prelude to Reloaded.
2.Enter The Matrix-the video game with Niobe (Jada Pinkett-Smith) & Ghost (Anthony Wong) takes place during Reloaded and was a very good game.
The character of Zee who is played by Nona Gaye (Marvin Gaye's daughter) was a recasting.
Aaliyah had been casted as Zee first.
She filmed scenes for both sequels and hadn't finished due to her untimely passing.
Keanu Reeves and Monica Bellucci (Persephone) have worked together before in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
These youtubers reviewing The Matrix trilogy never seem to get that Agent Smith took over Bane and entered the real world in this move lol.
I'm still impressed with the casting of this movie.
I think this one was the one of the trilogy where Keanu actually hurt his back so you see more upward body fighting than normal
They was the first movie.
I feel like your laugh is the kind that people find either cute or annoying, depending. I think it's adorable
When he stopped those sentinals, I couldn't help but to imagine Gandalf yelling "You... shall not pass!" lol
Behind the scenes features for this trilogy is great to watch if you have it.
Keanu doesn't use stunt doubles.
The one thing that bugs me with the matrix movies, and I know it’s intentional, every time you or I would say “I think…” in the matrix it’s always “I believe…”
Actually Mary, the amount of prep work that Keanu does for his characters is staggering.
Did Keanu Reeves learn how to fight?...
Yes, absolutely. This is another one of those great classic films where the actors were so invested they learnt the skills necessary to fight/ride motorcycles (in the case of Trinity)/handle & fire weapons.
This is one of the reasons I love films from this era. There was less fakeness to them, and you can really notice it during the watch.
Fun fact: Randall Duk Kim (The Key Maker) is also Master Oogway
13:06 Persephone from Greek/Roman Mythology (Roman name Proserpine). Daughter of Zeus (God of Thunder and King of the Gods) and Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest) - yes they were brother and sister, and he's married to their other sister Hera and mostly slept with/attacked Demeter out of jealousy when he found out about her affair with one of his sons (the result of another affair) Iasion. By birth Persephone (meaning 'bringer of death', her birth name was Kore - the maiden) is the Goddess of Spring, by her marriage to her uncle Hades (God of the Dead, King of the Underworld, God of Wealth) she's the Queen of the Underworld. Some say she was kidnapped and forced into marrying Hades, others say she married him willingly, in any case because she ate the seeds from a pomegranate which grew in the underworld she has to spend one month of the year for every seed she ate with her husband, the rest she spends with her mother - who whenever her daughter leaves her becomes so depressed she stops anything from growing, including the flowers and the crops. It's how the ancient greeks explained the changing seasons.
I hope you do watch the third one really soon. Maybe the Animatrix as well. It’s not fully needed but it is connected to the lore
Mer it’s from Bruce Lee a legendary kungfu superstar.
Yea Neo is basically a god at this point
Neo had the bullet-stopping and Superman-flying powers already at the end of the first movie.
