Fun fact: in the original plot, humans weren't batteries. The machines were actually using our brains as a vast neurological super computer, but they changed it to us being used as batteries because they figured the audience wouldn't understand it.
Did you know Aragorn in the two towers kicked the helmet and actually bro-
@@Dravianpn02AND THEY USED IT?? the dedication
Turned out to be true
Just a thought but wouldn't they be using the new Quantum Computers? They are able to solve problems that would take other computers years the the Quantum Computers minutes. I see using them as one step closer to have a Halo Deck like in Star Trek: TNG.
The studio. Not the sisters. Just clarifying.
This video should be called “Man hopelessly lost in the actual matrix tries to explain The Matrix.”
Hahahahaha Wow. Nailed it .
Eric Voss, stuck in the matrix of 1990s MTV.
One thing I noticed: The day when Neo is visited by Choi and Dujour, he makes a choice. "Choix du jour" in french means "choice of the day"
Ahhhhh and I thought his name was Troy.... good catch dude.... - er Mr. Kocherson
Woah.
@@davidrobertson1980 i see what you did there
I appreciate that you highlighting how much of the Matrix’s coolness is owed to the brilliance of Ghost in the Shell.
The brilliance of GITS is owed to the perfection of Neuromancer. The father of the matrix as a term and the cyberpunk genre
I’m a simple man. I see The Matrix and The Deep Dive. I click.
@@DeepDiveNR « this guy » obvi they are an Agent
Miss these comments running yt
Same here lol, that’s all I NEEDED to see
Deep Dive + Matrix = My Afternoon is gone
Facts-😂I’m sitting in my car with a million things to do and I’m just 💨💨💨and watching 😂😂😂😎
One of the greatest things I picked up on was that the Oracle told Neo when she first meets him "No one can tell you that you are the One. Not even me. " Then goes on to tell him he is not the One. Or moreover, Neo says it himself. She straight up tells him the truth.
"Being the one is just like being in love; no one can tell you you're in love you just know it, through and through - 'balls to bones'." Neo: "I'm not the one" Oracle: "Sorry kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something" My point being that the Oracle never told Neo that he was not the one. She was telling him he had to work it out for himself.
I learned: "If you have to ask if I you're a Truck Driver, then you're not." The nomination is implicitly achieved through deliberate sequence of self aware actions, not as a title granted by supplication to an external Authority.
Exactly, because Whatever Neo belives himself to be is true, and this statement is true any second of the movie, when he becomes the one, is only because at that point he does belive it about himself, power of the mind, no resurrection happen, he only died in a simulation and his real mind in the chair overcomes the simulated reality, so he wakes up... and can manipulate the simulation from then on.
He knew he was the one when he bent the spoon with the child.
The ironic part is that she actually *doesn't* tell him he isn't the one. Like you said, he says it himself, and she just says, "Sorry Kiddo." However, Neo had to decide for himself that he actually WAS the one. Remember, Morpheus told Neo, "The body can't live without the mind." So, when Agent Smith shoots Neo and Neo "dies," he doesn't actually die because he *chooses* not to. He realized that he's not confined by the rules of the matrix because he finally sees it for what it is. That's why in Matrix: Revolutions, during the big fight scene at the end when Agent Smith gets frustrated and asks Neo, "WHY?! WHY DO YOU PERSIST?!?!?!" Neo responds by saying, "because I choose to."
I think Neo only became The One when Trinity admitted she was in love with him. Cypher was originally freed because Morpheus thought that HE was The One, and Trinity tried to make it work with him but she just... didn't love him. This is part of what led Cypher to betraying everyone. So, when Trinity admitted to being in love with Neo, that was when he became The One, and when he was ressurected, that was his 'next life' that the Oracle told him about.
That's a pretty good headcanon actually, I like that
Neo was always the one. Being the one is based on a code that is carried by the human to reset the matrix. The "next life" could refer to the next iteration of the carrier and not Thomas 'Neo' Anderson himself. (Though we know that specifically, neo gets resurrected somehow I dont believe it's the code, I dont think the kiss mattered. Though this isnt really addressed in any meaningful way, I believe that the reason he doesnt die is because in his final moments his brain unlocks and can tell the difference between the simulation and the reality. Not unlike how a dreamer may realize they are in a dream then start changing that dream purposefully and willfully.)
The oricle told trinity that the man she falls in love with would be the one because the series of events that we are watching unfold has been narrowed down from infinite possibilities to what is taking place over the course of the film. She likely only said this to trinity once the path leading to that moment became unavoidable in most of the possible outcomes. The outcome is based on the choices made, which are more or less limited by the path taken. Just like the vase, "what's really going to bake your noodle later is, would you have broken it if I hadn't said anything?"
When Neo meets the architect, all of his possible reactions and choices are reflected on the screens in the background. Except the one he actually chooses. This is the same kind of manipulation present throughout, from the oricle setting people upon a path to the illusion of free will. The architect is trying to convince neo to make the choice he wants him to make knowing that everything will fail if the choice is forced. That is the reason the original versions of the matrix failed. There was not the illusion of choice. Everything from the start is a calculated manipulation that puts the characters on a set path. Belief is a control variable that keeps the characters playing along, and the more things each character rationalizes into that belief solidifies and perpetuates the series of events to the desired outcome.
Neo didnt believe he was the one, then he became the one and believed everything that he was told. He then threw away that belief and acted in a way that was unpredictable when he went to save trinity instead of resetting the matrix as was his purpose.
Cypher got tired of fighting, he states his reasoning pretty clearly and even tho this series is littered with underlying themes and messages, his whole deal is pretty simple. He is tired of fighting, of running, of eating bland protein paste. He gets to a point, where he rationalizes that a comfortable dream is better than the waking nightmare of reality. He wants no memories to remain of the real world. He wants to be put back into the matrix and BELIEVE it is reality. It's simply put, a selfish desire based on his own self interest. He would rather live a lie of luxury than deal with reality.
@@ryanpottle6443 that's a massive wall of text that no one will read
@@RatAndRaven I did. It was a great hypothesis actually.
@@RatAndRaven I know
* *MISSED DETAIL* * In the opening shot of Neo in his apartment he's asleep at his computer. He's got headphones on, and we pan across his stereo. We see three cables dangling from the stereo. Just like the three cables leading to the source of the Matrix we see in the sequels. It may be unintentional, but the three cables connecting Neo to a machine while he sleeps is a connection I'm making.
The reuse of the trinity symbology might mean it was unintentional, but that is a great catch. Nicely done!
That’s hot. Keep seeing things.
RGB-----"If they find out about it,burn it all down"...If ya know ya know!
What sequels? Matrix has no sequels!
@@haverjamarosi680 I can understand not liking the delivery, but they did some great world building in the sequels.
I watched Matrix at the cinema when it first came out, the adverts only had Morpheus's voice saying..
"No one can be told what the matrix is, you have to experience it for yourself"
There was no footage of the film in the advert, so when you went to watch it you weren't sure what to expect.
Then when I sat down to watch it on the big screen and you pov sinks into the O at the start was the most immersive feeling I'd ever had watching a film.
Brilliantly done.
Award for the most British comment. 🥇
Thumb down for calling me a A hole
Timeless and forever in movie history is the helicopter rescue scene. My favorite moment, when the chopper slides above Neo in slow-mo, we only see its foreboding shadow and hear the wacking blades slice through air, when he whispers: "Trinity!"
Truly amazing filmmaking. It really hasn't been surpassed even with the vast improvements in CGI (some which make movies look worse, frankly).
One of my favorite memories was walking out of the theater with my dad after he took me to see this film. We knew nothing about it going in because the marketing for it was pretty vague, and spoilers weren't really a thing back then.
The Matrix seems pretty pedestrian now, but back then, there was nothing like it. And it seems that way because it was endlessly imitated.
Our minds were blown. We were literally speechless. We didn't talk until pops had finished his cigarette and we got into the car. The ride home was 40 minutes and we had so much fun talking about the movie.
Great memory for you bro. That is a perfect time with family.
Memories brother memories.
Is Dad still with us?
Hope my girls reflect back on fond memories of me/with me.
@@marksneddon3709 Dad is not with us. Lost him 3 years ago, lost my mom 2 years ago. Life hasn't been kind to me in that regard. I'm only 39.
My father and I did the same thing. As we were walking out, he turned to me and said , " OK.. so , what happened?"
I remember saying, walking out of the theater, "what did i just watch?, "someone actually wrote that?". simply mind blowing
The Matrix is just a training programme for John Wick.
I know it's redundant to point out, since you showed it when Neo flew off, but when he "became the one" the walls ebbed and bent, but didn't break. A really cool detail when you consider the helicopter crash, to show that he was now not only seeing the Matrix, but on some level, controlling it.
The helicopter crash with the glass waving? That’s scientifically accurate, glass waves and bends before it breaks, i don’t think it was a metaphor
@@Jack-ot1zq Well, the glass does that, but not to the extent we see in the movie. For me, it was a way to show that the Matrix is not a 100% accurate physical simulation of the real world: to properly simulate the break point of a material, the simulation should account for every molecule in it and simulate billions of little recursive interactions. Because simulating the Matrix at the molecular level exceeds its power of computation, a software shortcut is used: just bend the glass and break it when it reaches a certain threshold. That doesn't account for individual differences in the glass pannels that the real world would have, that's why we see perfectly concentric bending waves and all the glass exploding at the same exact time.
When he "became the one" the walls ebbed and bent because "there is no spoon" he's finally mastered the taught lesson. The walls ebbed and bent in time with his flexing because it's not the spoon/matrix that bends, only yourself.
The glass just did that for dramatic anime effect
@@DeepDiveNR the wachowskis are men stuck in the matrix trying to be what is a false reality
Incredibly satiating. Thank you.
One quick note that you’d dig is when Neo steps through the mirror and wakes up in the real world the sound you hear is reduced in quality from 64-bit to 32 to 16 to 8, maybe symbolizing technology’s control over his perception dissolving. Reminds me of Space Odyssey when HAL is lobotomized and his voice gets deeper and deeper.
I thought they did that effect with a digital delay but ok. Sounds awesome no matter what.
The panel falling off the pillar as the elevator doors close was actually an accident, but it was the best take so they went with it.
Harold Perrineau Jr doesn't play Tank, he plays Link which is a whole different character. Tank is actually killed off screen between the matrix and matrix reloaded because of the whole Marcus Chong situation.
I was saying the same thing. There are so many wrongs in this Deep Dive
@@2cents4u what other wrongs are there, if you're willing?
I think the concept was that he succumbed to his wounds he endured when Cypher attacked him in the first film. That's what I always thought, at least.
@@ourkevingthere aren't. He's just trying to sound smart on the internet and won't back it up.
@@paulheap1982I love sound mart.
When Neo's voice became digital noise as he was awoken in the real world was so amazing to me; it made me truly feel I am escaping with him from a digital world to the analog one.
There is a good reason for that. As his voice gets digitized, it starts sounding like the old baud modems one would use to dial-up their internet connection in the early days of the internet, especially after it became available for everyone [Not just Universities and Military] to use.
Whatever you're smoking pass it over
Neo's initial reaction to Trinity, "I thought you were a guy." Is that a reference to Hackers?
In the subway fight, Neo and Smith weren’t counting bullets. They saw that the guns’ slides had ejected when they landed. The rest of your analysis was spot on!
A lot more was off. But the video is still good.
@@charismahornum-fries691 what else was off?
Ummm. So if I put a gun to the side of your head, you can see through the side of your skull to check if the slide is back?
@@vadersnemesis He talks about KR doing that 3 hit kick, i remember in the Making Of that he was attached to a small wire harness cause he couldn't do alot of the action due to an injury i think during training or during filming.

The matrix is one of the greatest examples of a masterpiece of cinema the first time I watched it I went back and watched again at the next showing of it still love watching it to this day
Not quite up there with 2001 or Bladerunner but close.
that's your opinion though@@cpcnw
37:25 Trinity does NOT say "The Oracle told me I would fall in love with a dead man. The man that I loved would be The One."
She says:
"The oracle told me that I would fall in love and that that man, the man that I loved, would be the one."
The subtitles in the movie itself don't have it quite right, though they also don't say 'dead man', but what she says is clear. Watch it again.
I'm actually lost for words.. I've watched this movie so many times yet still think it's what was said..
You are right, I remember her saying that and have never seen the subtitles. I bought a leather trenchcoat lol I've seen it so much. Good times.
@HikingFeral mandela effect I say.. they changed something!
@@bren3986 You mean a glitch in the Matrix.
@@JustinWilliams-ed2ug
I also very clearly remember Trinity saying "that man" not "dead man", and I first saw it in a different language, which translated it like that too. She does not say that Neo is dead. In fact, she even follows it up with "so you see, you *can't be dead* ."
I always thought that the cookie that the Oracle gave Neo was some sort of upgrade, perhaps something that unlocked the coding within him that made him the one. Also, in The Matrix Revolutions when the Oracle is making cookies, and is interrupted by agent Smith, she was making cookies for Neo. What I mean by this was that up until the end of the second movie, Matrix Reloaded, Neo always chose to go back into the Matrix and start the process over again. Had he done that in the end of The Matrix Reloaded, he would have been showing up at the oracles apartment with Morpheus and Trinity all over again. But two things changed this. The first being agent Smith choosing not to be exiled from The Matrix, and becoming a self-replicating virus, making him an unexpected Factor. The second difference is that Neo chose to save Trinity as opposed to reloading The Matrix like he did the first five or six times. The Oracle was doing what she knew she was supposed to do regardless, but I always felt that she was making the chocolate chip cookies because that's what she had done each time before. It's just that the chain of events occurred differently in The Matrix Revolutions.
I feel the cookies are trackers just like when one surfs the net, and the net keeps cookies on your activities. That is how (one of many ways) Agent Smith and his crew were able to track Neo.
@@cjsvoiceworks6008 just to be precise - cookies are files stored on yours device for "the net" - to use it. Mainly to reduce transfer, but also settings and activity wich would be too much for servers to keep for every individual user.
Damn computers... always leaving cookies when you're just browsing... 😅
It’s DLC but it was 1999 so companies weren’t charging for it and EA hadn’t yet bought The Matrix.
I always liked that Neo didn’t have to dodge the agents’ bullets in the hallway at the end (“when you’re ready, you won’t have to”). Also, whenever the agents say, “No!” the thing happens anyway, but when Neo finally says it, it doesn’t happen.
just the analysis of opening chords is enough to see how deep this dive will be
E minor
C Major
Those notes will be a splinter in my mind for the rest of my days
I think its cool you pointed out that in the training program there were two of everyone in the scene, but interestingly enough it was real... it wasn't CGI. It was a scene full of twins.
Practical effects are often superior. I'm very disappointed they didn't use actual Hugo Weaving clones in the sequels.
For them to make a prequel series to show how the humans went from inventing Ai
To the machines harvesting humans and using them as batteries would be so awesome to watch
It’s been a super long time since I watched it but I think The Animatrix covers that.
That’s the terminator arch
Two shorts from the Animatrix, which came out between Matrix and the first sequel, go over that. The Second Renaissance, part one and two. I think you can find them on TH-cam.
I would love to see you do a Deep Dive on how the original Matrix trilogy is a triptych that represents a thesis-antithesis-synthesis. When viewed together, it’s easy to see that, like The Lord of the Rings, it is three parts of one story-not one story and two bad sequels. Everything that people complained about in Reloaded and Revolutions was deliberate. Doing that analysis and tying it to the meta narrative and subverted expectations in Matrix Resurrections would be awesome.
The idea that the Matrix is a perfect standalone movie is incredible copium. The movie sets up so many plot threads which are clearly intended to be, and indeed are, resolved in the sequels. The film is an origin story for Neo; everything he is supposed to actually do with his newfound power comes in the sequels.
Many times it is better to leave threads untied. Imo matrix is a prime example. The sequels added nothing of interest for me
Totally agree that the sequels fulfilled the ideas of the first part, but The Deep Dive might not do the analysis justice. The best place for an introduction to the exploration of those ideas is probably the "philosopher's commentary" tracks on the DVDs. It's a shame that so many people took the story of the sequels so literally.
I think part of the reason people were disappointed is how ground breaking the first movie was compared to the sequels. The "high" you get as a viewer seeing something new and mind-blowing is part of the reason people love the 1st matrix. The 2nd and 3rd films dont get the same advantage.
Basically, the conceptual stuff in Matrix 1 carried a lot of the story and was a lot of the intrigue. But after Matrix 1, the concepts were mostly all introduced already so Matrix 2 and 3 needed to stand on their own, by virtue of the character writing rather than the mechanics of the world. The movies feel different because the 1st one is the only one that can drop you into a novel and mysterious world and give that sense of awe and wonder.
The second film really struggles with pacing issues. The chase from the Merovingian's restaurant to the freeway to the hallway is like 45 minutes long. Then there's the "kiss me like you kiss her" scene, the rave, etc. that could either be cut or reduced in length. The swarm of Agent Smiths, for example, goes for way too long and the CGI wasn't even good for the time period.
The third is much better watching it in the decades since it came out, but I remember at the time being upset at the lack of bullet time and fight choreography the series was known for and (again) poor CGI where practical effects would have looked a lot better.
I think if I could re-do the series, I'd lift some of the stories from the Animatrix and place them in the second film (seriously, Mouse is such a better character after you watch Kid's Story), while cutting some of the fat. The plot would revolve around finding out who this mysterious "Key maker" is and where he's been hiding (instead of the Oracle telling them from the get-go the Merovingian has him held hostage). The crew of the Nebuchadnezzar chase leads they think can help find him, incorporating the events of Final Flight of the Osiris, World Record, Kid's Story, and A Detective Story.
Most of the second and third film could have been combined together. Imagine if the second movie climaxes into the highway chase and ends with Neo walking through the door in the hallway. Then, the third movie opens up with The Architect and the war in Zion.
I dunno. I think this would have made a better trilogy. The philosophy going on in the first film is more subtle, while in the second and third, it feels like it's given to us through exposition dumps.
Hugo Weaving went to my school! Unfortunately I never met him because his family moved to Australia a year before I started at the school, but it's pretty cool to look at old photos from that time and see his face among the pupils :) Apparently he was active in the drama department and showed a lot of promise as an actor even then.
Hugo Weaving was such a cool actor and more than held his own among a stellar cast. Keanu Reeves was a standout. I feel compelled to watch it again. Kind of thrilled that such a mind-bending movie was made in my hometown - At the 72nd Academy Awards, the film won all four categories it was nominated for, Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing.
Hey, you know they're still both alive right?
Wow..... you noticed that he either reached for the pill, or he didn't. Fascinating!
In the subway scene where they know each other are out of ammo, they weren't counting each other's shots. The slide locks back on their pistols when the magazines are empty, and it's very easy to spot.
I was just about to comment the same. You can see them glance.
But their guns are at each other's temple out of their peripheral with their own gun in sight. Perhaps by tactile?
Watch their eyes. They both glance across to each others empty mags.
@@MorzakEV True, I probably didn't notice from that thousand yard stare Keanu gave lol.
I had the Blu Ray and a 7.1 HT and the plink of the shell casings stop as the guns empty as well.
You should also do Deep Dives of sequels of movies you already dived into...
This move single-handedly changed my movie-viewing experience. Thanks for the deep dive on it Erik. This is what this channel is all about!
You reference a couple of times "the real world", but if you watch the trilogy you understand soon enough that Neo never left the Matrix, it was a plan all along to make him believe he escaped, even he realized it at the end. Which explains his "real world" powers. My guy became Cypher in the end.
Can u explain
Those Wachowskis are NOT smart enough to come up with this level of story. They basically admitted they took ideas from other movies, but can’t admit the whole idea isn’t even theirs. Whether Stewart is the Mother of the Matrix, the Wachowskis are not the first to come up with a original idea
After watching the all three movies many years ago i was left with feeling that the real world was just an outer matrix encompassing the main matrix. The fact that Zion was destroyed on a regular basis, the additions the oracle put into the architects program and the fact neo could see while blind and affect squidies. The equation was perfect yet didn't work, an anomaly was introduced but this could be controlled.
Same here. I expected the ending to be that the "real world" was actually the main, outermost matrix because humans don't believe in perfection and thrive in misery. So, to humans, Zion and the real world would not raise suspicion.
Facts, they never left the matrix
@@surchipparoski9814thats explained in reloaded. Zion has been destroyed many times.
@@Dravianpn02 well when neo stops the sentinels, thats when I was like holy shit there still in the matrix.

I walked out the theater at 12 years old with my friends and walked directly across the hallway into the next showing. We did this 2 more times. We watched it 4 times in a row on the first day. It blew out little minds wide open.
I AM WRITING MY COMMENT IN ALL CAPS
When my daughter had a cold once, I went to her with a Dayquil in one hand and a Nyquil in the other, and said she had to choose. She cracked up laughing. In the movie it always looked to me like Dayquil and Nyquil.
Excellent job! While you're covering the lines of dialogue with double meaning, there are two you didn't mention from the first act. 1, Neo is told "You think the rules don't apply to you" (later they won't). 2, Neo is told "You're living two lives. Only one of them has a future" (later this becomes literally true).
I always took it at the end of the movie when Neo says, “the choice up to you”, he was talking to the machines. You can either work with us or against us.
It s also been about 15y since I watched the first one… and it’s long over due for a rewatch.
damn 15 years sonce youhad a watch?! Thats crazy- For me , The Matrix is my favorit movie aötogether
Cypher is also an example of free will. He knows the truth and chooses to live in the Matrix
Ignorance is bliss. Being tired of the harsh realities of real life, I would choose the blue pill now.
I would argue Cypher sacrifices his freewill (and other's lives) for an easier life.
It is the ultimate betrayal of free will.
@@MrVvulf it is what all western women do every single day of their lives... feminism is such a choice. sacrifice men's lives for a much easier life. as well have the 'a-word' to their own children who never materialize... free will... my body my choice...
I can't remember where exactly I watched the theory, but in Matrix: Reloaded, it's revealed that code can be introduced in the Matrix through something as simple as food, similar to how the trace program is derived from the pill. The theory went that the Oracle actually introduced the necessary code for Neo being the One via the cookie she gave him, and I always remember that whenever I watch it now.
Straight out the gate you say "Neo's left hand reaches for the red pill" when its Neo's right hand.
How can I trust you for details?
It's his right hand in the reflection only though. Go look in a mirror and wiggle your left hand , and see which hand it appears you are wiggling.
It's mirrored. That's the theme of the movie.
@@nonstopbg it's Morpheus who should be mirrored in that case.
@@Crossword131 why should Morpheus be mirrored tho? We're watching a camera shot of the scene, not a camera shot of a mirror showing the scene...
The "Not like this" scene has always haunted me it's such a too realistic depiction of what a human says in such a situation, "Not like this" with usually not so much conviction, is what a lot of people's last words are or close to it, hers is absolutely dead on perfect
One thing that always bothered me - if neo never actually used his eyes before, as in, from birth they’re closed, as I understand it, the optic nerves would have all died off as part of the normal process of eyes starting to work.
Ssssshhhh🙃
I dont think they thought that far into it, some things, you just have to remind yourself, this is still a movie, gotta leave a gap between reality, fantasy...
“And my favorite extra in this movie, ISS THIS WOMAN.. in RED! Reacting to the agent launching a guy through the crowded street “NOT My Problem!” “ 😂😂😂
Okay, but getting the world to believe that they won $2.5 billion does not give them any money but may in fact just give them people expecting gifts, loans, pay for lunch, buy me car, etcetera.
Please don't pretend politifact is anything but propaganda...
Why is this video turned into an AGENT'S "conspiracy theory" rant?!!??!
The matrix is trying so hard to convince Neo that he's the savior, the chosen one but Neo knows is not true so he plays along to see how deep the rabbit hole goes
“You’re empty” doesn’t mean they we’re counting shots. They look down the barrels of each other pistols and see they are both empty. Both pistols are locked open.
Please do Reloaded and Revolution, your breakdowns are literally perfect Erik.
The level of thought and effort that went into this film is absolutely mind bending...
Now watch 'Dog Soldiers' - you will laugh when one soldier says to another, as an answer to his question "Where's Spoon?" (after a character nicknamed 'Spoon' has been ripped to pieces), "There is no spoon". What a nod to another work!
I think the jump test is also a way of allowing the subject to have his/her own revelation instead of being fed information. That way, the subject convinces himself/ herself of the truth and believes it.
My all time favorite movie! This is the “One” I’ve been waiting for! Thanks Eric and @DeepDiveNR 🙏🏼
Would love deep dives of the whole series.
you are very passionate about everything you do, been watching you for years but i really enjoyed this video and had to say cause i noticed it was a relatively new channel. your energy is immaculate
I feel bad for young people who weren’t around when this movie released. It’s like it changed the world. You can never recreate the feeling of experiencing it at that time.
I know. I figured this would be such a classic master piece that every new generation would end up watching it. I'm so confused and puzzled when I come across a younger person that has never seen it.
3 is also seen as a holy or sacred number, especially in the bible, I always interpreted 101 (for the first room) as the one and binary as well, and 303 as the the three main characters, Morpheus, Trinity (also Trinity is 3), and Neo, much like the father, the son and the holy ghost is in the bible. I could be completely off but there's a lot of biblical references in all three movies
So there was 2 brothers that existed when the first Matrix was made that have since turned into 2 sisters? I'm never going to California again. Something in the water.
Erik, your channel is my new favorite place for escapism! Your breakdowns are so good, really increases my ability to enjoy movies more!
I've never watched so many ads like when I watch your videos. You're greeding hard 😂
Deep Dive + Matrix = pure TH-cam gold
This was so dope, informal, and jam packed with nerdy goodies. Thank you bro.
The Neo's you see on the screen in the Architect scene aren't past Neo's; but rather possibilities of their interactions. The architect breaks everything down into mathematical possibilities. That's why he refers "The One" as a remainder of an unbalanced equation that despite his best efforts, he has been unable to get rid of.
Who believes the pills were both the same?
Quora theory is that the cookies are updating Neo's code, so that he can survive and be reborn.
This is by far the best analysis video I've seen regarding the Matrix. Bravo Sir!
You are FREAKING CRAZY and I love it!! This was awesome! Thank you!! I was one of the millions who wanted this!! Thank you again!!
PLEASE continue this Deep Dive on the rest of The Matrix Series! I know you mentioned Reloaded and Revolutions here, but hopefully that wasn't the totalness of your driving in them.
ALSO I would love to see you continue the deep dive on Resurrections! I have all 4 movies, and though the 4th got mixed reviews leaning on it as a bad movie, I love Resurrections, and I hope they continue as a spin off from the new reality they're in!
IF YOU WANT OTHER IDEAS??
I love mind bending, reality warping, what's real, Sci Fi movies!! I noticed you have Inception as one you did a Deep Dive on, so I will watch that soon. Also check out...
Tenet, Memory, Source Code, Divergent Series (Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, another mind twister series), Planet of The Apes Trilogy!
All great mind warping movies (the first few were solos, not to be confused as any trilogy) and great to watch, make you think outside the box, totally not what you expect, endings!!
AND Ex Machina, crazy movie about a female robot who can do anything, realizes she meant for one thing, and not sure if she wants to! It's weird!
"A visual analogy for privileged moments of consciousness within the Matrix", Wow that a blast.
These movies (not 4) really were movie masterpieces. About time for a rewatch. Thanks for posting.
4 was a shit show
@@neogaki agreed XD
It really is true what they say- when you pump a genetically male brain full of estrogen it turns him into a terrible director.
@@neinnonon 4 was a pure vomit
@@neinnonon What makes them garbage?
NEO is NOT the ONE!!! When NEO returns to the Source, nothing happened. But what happened when Agent Smith did???...
Neo choose to re-enter the matrix instead of returning to the machine mainframe (the source) as for Smith he goes in to explain in the second movie that he was compelled to stay and disobey the machine rules of returning to the source.
@@phantomhawk01 NEO plugged in directly to the source... LMFFFAAAOOO... But I'm glad you brought up things before the situation I talked about.
Explain to me how what I said was incorrect. It states the ONE was born IN THE MATRIX. NEO, was born in a pod in their growing fields... Was Smith born inside the Matrix? You know, born inside a computer program... 😂🤦♂️👍
@@tankeater yes you are correct he plugged into source when Deus ex machina worked with Neo to stop Smith, Smith also returned to source in the process of him being defeated. And you are correct again nothing happened, And according to matrix 4 Trinity was also very important to reactivating the source code . And then something did happen, a very new cycle of the matrix is now in place one that doesn't require a cyclical returning of the source code, it now works in a chain between Smith Neo and Trinity.
Regarding the prophecy, Neo found out it was all lies stemming from the Oracle, she being another layer of control, which means we don't know if there even was the original "one" that was ever born in the system. Most likely a convenient fiction to give an origin story to the One.
So true there never was a One, Neo was just someone who inherited the anomaly .
Notice how I never said you were wrong, especially regarding the One. However it is clear in all the narrative that a system of control is put in place to ensure the anomaly code is reinserted back into the source. Otherwise the matrix starts to crash.
35:45 Little did the Wachowski's know that this shot of the glass bending was actually 100% accurate.
The Slow-Mo Guys have proven, by throwing a hammer at a mirror and recording it at 120.000 frames per second,
that glas actually warps the same exact way before breaking into a million pieces.
Well yeah because glass is a liquid.

@@oneANGRYelfglass is not a liquid. This was theorized for years but has been debunked

I wish they did more with the kid. I really loved him in the ani-matrix and showing how he freed himself was amazing. He was one of the rarest of people to unplug themselves without needing a pill or anything.
Keanu Reeves in those movies played a regular guy, he never wanted anything fancy, an he has lived his real life just like that. He rides the subway in his hometown just like his neighbors do. Hes an average guy who cares about others more than most people do. He is the real pride in this country and we would sure be better off if we had more of him in our country. An ive noticed that hes had to live with, when ever he would fall in love with someone they end up dying as if there is a evil force that wants him unhappy an make him feel heart broken. Thats the saddest part. I pray that what ever demon is after him, that demon gets sent back to Hell where it belongs to never be allowed to ever come back here and that jesus protects him the rest of his life and keeps him safe.
Keep up the great work Erik!!
Why no commentary on when Neo stopped the sentinels in the supposedly real world or how he was seeing in code vision also while in the real world
That happened on the second movie, this video seems to want to only focus on the original movie.
"You are empty". "So are you". They are not just talking about guns.
Cypher pops out for a steak...
hooking himself into the matrix to do it.
I think I met Sophia Stewart right after the Matrix came out. I was at her residence due to my employment and a woman who resembled this Sophia Stewart told me that she was going to sue the makers of the Matrix and showed me a piece of paper that had her “original” idea. I read it and it vaguely, really vaguely resembled some plot points of the Matrix. I thought she was a little off her rocker, but she kept telling me that she was going to get rich. I occasionally thought of her whenever I watched the Matrix, but had no idea about Sophia Stewart until watching this TH-cam video. Kinda weird.
😂😂 you was hoping to get more than 11 likes 😂😂 you fool
Nah bro they are still the Wachowski brothers. 🤷
Facts mental health is a thing they need help
You can take this NyQuil or you can take this DayQuil🤣🤣
I’ve never heard anyone mention that the glass windows in the building behind the agent never get bullet holes in them after he dodges Neo’s shots. This bothered me when I saw it in theaters.
Your description of conspiracy theorists applies to far more people than you would be comfortable saying.
Thank you so much for all your good work ❤ Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
Voss is the Neo of breakdowns! Brilliant every time! 👏
@@DeepDiveNR That may be true, but there will always be…. Mephisto
@@DeepDiveNR the Easter egg is the fact that the brothers are stuck in the matrix as fake women.
@@dontworrybout2664 Boom! There is the "red pill" comment I was searching for, too bad the "Erik" swallowed the blue one.
To those who say "ignorance is bliss". I say, Knowledge is power!
If Switch was meant to change between her true self and the projection in the Matrix, the line “Not like this” could mean that the character doesn’t want to die in their Matrix form. Not like this
That wouldn't make sense as her self projection in the matrix would have been her true self so she would have preferred to die as her true self.
A note about Trinity's first scene. I wondered why none of the agents phased into the police already inside Trinity's room. Smith says "Your men are already dead", which means he knows there's no point in phasing into them. I also always wondered how Cypher was able to go into the matrix alone. In all other examples of somebody going into the matrix, another person needed to be a guide/monitor. And Cypher couldn't lie about what he was doing in the matrix, because that guide would see the agent code. Perhaps he had an automatic timer of some sort. Also, some viewers might think if the deal Cypher made with the machines was to "not remember anything", why wouldn't the machines just kill him? I think the machines are in no way deceptive. They are honest to a fault. So if the deal is Cypher will remain alive and become somebody important, he will. Finally, I think any gamer who was exposed to the reality of the matrix would become "The One" within 5 minutes. Even as I watched the movie at the theater opening weekend in 1999, I thought to myself "Why doesn't he just go into God Mode?" Good deep dive for sure.
because he does not know the right key combination. .. is it iddqd ? up up down left right x y ?
then morpheus taught him how to use the console.
@@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233
Nah, it's not about cheat codes - it's about exploring the system, analyzing the rules within the simulation, finding and testing it's limits and limitations, then hunting for, and figuring out exploits.
Somebody used to thinking in those kinds of ways, particularly within computer games and simulations, would get the hang of things more quickly upon realising they were _within_ such a system.
I am sure Cypher made a deal with Agent Smith and The Machines hence why he was able to go into The Matrix alone. Cypher was I feel a Snitch which is a common quality of someone who sells others up the river.
@@stickiedmin6508 but you have to learn the basics first before you can even think to know how and when to key in the cheat codes. He had to learn from Morpheus and all the other events...plus eat the cookie.
The first Matrix movie is mind-blowing. I've never had an interest in watching the later Matrix movies again. Why did the second two just become regular Hollywood action movies?
This is the best analysis on the entire internet!!!
I’ve seen The Matrix (1) over 80 times and you still showed me new things.
"The Matrix" came out in 1999, it had absolutely nothing to do with transgenderism, that's way beyond a reach.
I like how Agent Smith and the humans both grow more powerful by becoming more like each other.
The humans program themselves to learn kung fu and execute it with machine like precision, and even act somewhat cold and robotic in the Matrix. Smith embraces emotion and breaks his programming to try and escape the Matrix, just like Morpheus and pals do. He probably isn't lying about why he despises them but I'm pretty sure he's also jealous
Agent Smith's downfall is a human flaw ("flaw" in the context of the simulation).
Speaking of conspiracies, watching this now in December of 2023 the prediction of a formerly persecuted people retreating to an exclusionary desert state before embarking on a genocidal war with their neighbors is a bit chilling 🥶
Basically neo was given the choice of DayQuil or nitequil
Wake up.... Wake up.... Wake up! Anyone who thinks their governments are not conspiring against the very people they say they are serving, might want to reconsider reality, and pull their heads out the lies of this world and truly seek the truth.
Couple of things that I noticed:
-Pretty sure that the FedEx guy who delivered the package to the office is Mouse
-Neo's date of birth is different on his file: March 11, 1962 and passport: Sept 13, 1971
The FedEx man is played by a dude called Davod O'Connor, and he dont really looks like Mouse
