    24:28 - Smith's "No" is disbelief, but he can't change what's happening. Neo's "No" after he comes back to life is not disbelief, it's power.

    • @Bi0Dr01d
      @Bi0Dr01d ปีที่แล้ว

      Neo's "No" is Revelation.
      *(Matthew 16:15-19, Revelation 2:17, 1 Corinthians 6:17)*
      Smiths "No" is the recognition that he's losing the battle against keeping the Mind under control as Morpheus is breaking free from the (mental) chains that are keeping him captive.
      2 Timothy 2:26 - And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
      Ephesians 2:2-3 - Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
      3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
      Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
      2 Corinthians 10: 4-5
      (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
      5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
      Romans 7:23 - But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
      Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye *transformed* by the *renewing of your mind,* that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
      Romans 8:5
      5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
      6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
      7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
      8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
      9¶But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
      Observe the pattern, and don't focus on not being interested in the scriptures quoted, focus on the pattern to understand the meaning. Put the pieces together. No one can be told what the Matrix is, you must see it for yourself. One must make a choice 🔴🔵 to see it.

    Room 303. If you didn't know 303 is an error message in programming. By opening the door (I can only show you the door you're the one that has to walk through it), it crashed the system and agent smith basically "restarted" Neo by killing him. His update to the one was installed in that reset. There are many programming references in this movie. For example Oracle has to give cookies (in reference to small programs that make websites go faster) as seen in the show. There are several little things like that that even most hardened programmers missed.

    • @BoothTheGrey
      @BoothTheGrey ปีที่แล้ว

      Thinking for yourself is ALWAYS limited in thinking within what you learned. So if you learned a lot shit... thinking yourself does not help very much. Question everything is also not possible all the time. If you are discussing complex social stuff it does not help you when you start with quantum mechanics.
      Or in simpler words: Everybody has to chose and some choices arent even possible but made by biology/society.
      I understand what you say and in great parts I would say "yes". But if you discuss with people you have even flat earthers who claim to do what you mentioned as mantra. So this mantra does not lead directly to what reality is.
      Especially getting to understand the scientific method is really important. Understanding empirical data and statistical evidence is very important. The complexity of reality is really not easy. And on the same site there is obviously real simple stuff like everybody of us has to drink, eat and breath to live their lives. But even there exist fraud who claim they can live many days, weeks or even month without eating. Which is not happening. Cause bio-chemistry is not just a nice idea... its real.

    If you re-listen to what the Oracle said, she never said Neo wasn’t the one. She said he had the gift, but that he seemed to be waiting for something, perhaps another life. When he died near the end of the movie and his consciousness was re-awakened by Trinity, that began his second life.

      She didn't even say that, at least not until after Neo had already declared that he wasn't the One.

  • @GenXJen78
    @GenXJen78 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your closing commentary echoes many of my thoughts. I wish more people would pay attention to and care about what happens outside of their little worlds. Question everything, dig deeper, don't believe something just because one of your favorite talking heads said it. Hold those in every position of power accountable. As for those seeking only power and fame (or infamy), don't give them the attention they crave, either positive or negative. Stop feeding the monsters, and they will fade away.
    I also agree about experiencing life and reality to the fullest, both the pleasant and unpleasant parts. Embrace all emotions, and learn how to experience them in a healthy way. (If you haven't seen Inside Out, I highly recommend it!) Life isn't all about feeling good. That makes people self-centered and drains them of empathy. Letting ourselves experience struggles and pain and learning about what others go through makes us all better, both individually and communally. I love the quote at the end of Jojo Rabbit:
    "Let everything happen to you.
    Beauty and terror.
    Just keep going.
    No feeling is final."
    - Rainer Maria Rilke

    Maybe The Matrix was the first movie to really go in heavy with the use of modern slow motion, but definitely not the first in movie history. One example that came before and strongly influenced The Matrix are the movies by Hong Kong film director John Woo. These 3 are usually on the top of the list: A Better Tomorrow (1986), The Killer (1989), Hard Boiled (1992) - If you ever get to them, I already wish you a ton of fun. :)

      Good points, but Matrix did pioneer the use of "bullet time", that being the 360 slow-mo shots discussed. There was nothing like that previously; it was, and still is, a cultural touchstone.

    I want something new to say, but I think this Film Friday your best video yet, Madison. It was a lot of fun rewatching _The Matrix_ with you and I loved your analysis at the end. Very progressive, very cool. Lots of writers in the '90s like Michael Crichton were predicting where virtual reality would take us and thankfully, most of us aren't living in Mario World or wherever. It occurs to me that VR is still very text based, with people on social media cultivating these idealized lifestyles, and also saying things, sometimes via their anonymous avatar, they never would in reality.

(Though its kinda weirdly awesome that you think its fun watching shoot 'em up scenes ... and that you thought it was great when Trinity said, "Dodge this", then blows the agent away lol.)
    The fact that you were incorrect about Trinity being the one is the only thing you got wrong ... and it was actually a kinda cool thought that she'd be The One. Otherwise, you seemed to have gotten everything that was going on, which is impressive. Once more, great reaction.

Many of the ideas for the film were taken from Tron, the film that gave birth to cgi and inspired the technology in virtually every film that has come since.

    You're the first reactor I have seen who actually understands the nature of power is to shape and dictate reality for those it seeks to control.
    This is the real world Matrix we all live in and I think for those who are independent minded and capable of critical thought it becomes more obvious by the day that their truly is something very wrong with the world we live in.
    Or more pertinently, with the people who make the world we live in.

    When we first see "Neo" sleeping, if you look at his computer screens before "Trinity" contacts him, you'll see articles about "Morpheus". "Neo" knows of "Morpheus" because of his search for "what is the Matrix".
    Remember, he may have been searching for "Morpheus" a "very long time"...But "Morpheus" has been searching his "entire life" for "The One"....

    I got to see a The Matrix at a press screening the week before it opened & it absolutely blew my mind. It was so different to anything that had been seen in such a long time & visually; even now, is stunning to watch.
    Originally, the scene between Neo & Cypher was much longer & also alluded to why Cypher hates Morpheus & why he wants to be reinserted to The Matrix.
    The script for the scene went as follows
    Cypher: I’m going to let you into a little secret here. Now don’t tell him I told you this, but ain’t the first time Morpheus thought he found The One.
    Neo: Really?
    Cypher: You bet your ass. It keeps him going. Maybe it keeps all of us going.
    Neo: How many were there?
    Cypher: Five. Since I’ve been here.
    Neo: What happened to them?
    Cypher: Dead. All dead.
    Neo: How?
    Cypher: Honestly. Morpheus. He got them all amped up believing in bullshit. I watched each of them take on an Agent & I watched each of them die. Little piece of advice: you see an Agent, you do what we do; run. Run your ass off.
    A later scene also had Neo confront Morpheus about him being the sixth & final person who could be The One; this is also hinted at by the child with the spoons…..if you take note of how many spoons he has.
    Also, if you want a little insight into how the war against the machines began, I highly recommend the two animated shorts The Second Renaissance Pt 1&2. In many ways, those two shorts would make an incredible, live action prequel to The Matrix films…..something I’d happily have sat down to watch, over the terrible fourth film.

    The Oracle never said Neo wasn't the One - she lead him to believe he wasn't. All she said was 'sorry kid, you got the _gift_ but apparently you're waiting for something. Another life maybe.' Neo being brought _back_ to life convinced him that it was him -- the difference between knowing the path and walking the path, as Morpheus told him.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It goes even deeper. The Oracle used the oldest cold-reading trick there is; have your mark ask a question, and then get them to answer it, while framing the answer as your own. The Oracle said nothing at all about Neo's status until *after* Neo had already said he wasn't the One. Everything she said was still true; it was just true solely because of Neo's disbelief. If Neo had believed then, he would have been the One in that moment.
      Presumably, one can argue that Trinity's explanation of the Oracle's prophesy for her and her realization of her belief in it was the basis for Neo's belief in his own, thus triggering the resurrection, as the One can simply re-code their own in-Matrix death. And if he wasn't dead in the Matrix, he wasn't dead outside it. A neat little trick.

    • @MoMoMyPup10
      @MoMoMyPup10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@michaelccozens Yeah, if you listen intently (it helps to know the movie when this scene happens) it is probably the best written part of the script. How they get NEO, and the audience, to accept that he isn't the One, is such good writing - without ever saying it herself - is the perfect set up for the ending when he gets shot. The fact that she frames it between 'Morpheus and Neo surviving' choice is critical to him stepping into the role without ever believing Morpheus was right about him, is first rate movie making. The nuances of the 'code' and the intricacies of moving within the Matrix is all second fiddle to Neo organically discovering just how powerful he is when he's fully unleashed. So many little details unveil the rest, and it's genius script writing.

    The question was how did Morpheus know Neo was the one? It's a good question since they apparently failed many times-- "they" always fail the first time when "they" try to jump from one to another skyscraper.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens ปีที่แล้ว

      Morpheus didn't know; he believed. And I think the "everybody falls the first time" thing was about everyone's training experience, as opposed to it being a reference to hypothetical previous "One" candidates. I can see where you might think otherwise, though. In fairness, the phrasing could have been, perhaps, a little more specific.

    Great talk after the movie, very thought provoking about those in power, never more applicable than today. I was asking through the first part of the movie why the machines created the world they did and not something so much better. Agent Smith then explained that they did but our minds couldn't accept it and the machine lost resources! I once saw a movie where robot helpers were banned from upgrading themselves on pain of destruction as that would accelerate their evolution a lot faster than human evolution, an interesting take on robotics. On your point that we are considered just resources I always disliked the fact that the Personnel Departments are now known as Human Resources. More honest of companies attitude but very depressing!

      There would be better ways to produce electricity than farm humans.
      All the resources needed to raise and sustain a human would probably be better used making other machines or just growing plants and using hydrocarbons to fuel machines, or a myriad of other solutions.
      Many people have the feeling we are just economic units here to fuel capitalism. This is obvious when we see so many things turned into services, that require regular payments. There is no incentive to build long lasting anything, as companies need income and profit.

    The problem is everyone thinks they are right because from their own unique frame of mind it makes the most sense. However nobody can prove with absolution that they are objectively right. If you want to research and think everything out for yourself that is perfectly fine imo but then that is all you will ever do. I don't think people realize how many assumptions they are making, from the small to the large ones.
    I do agree that people in places of authority have much greater temptation for abuse of power and the fact that they are in that place of authority would be easy to think that they must have done something to earn it. I do think you are being a bit harsh on them in general tho. I would have to think more about it to articulate exactly why I feel like that.
