  • The Matrix 4

    It’s happening!?!?...Lana Wachowski is set to write and direct a fourth film set in the world of “The Matrix,” with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively.

    The Matrix (1999).

    I'll talk about this here, rather than creating a new thread.

    Sat down and rewatched this movie, and wow... people actually liked this movie 23 years ago? It's a rip off of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles (among other things). Heard somewhere that the two hacks who made the film even had multiple copies of Morrison's work on set, and showed them to people, to show how things should look. When you've actually seen other movies (and TV shows), you realize just how unoriginal this picture is.

    The character interactions are bad. The actions scenes dull. I kept asking myself why?

    In the opening of the film, why didn't the agents take over the cops, that were in the room with Trinity?

    Why can't they exit the Matrix through the cellphones?

    Why weren't they aware that Joe Pantoliano's character was a traitor? Was no one watching the screens, during his (likely multiple) meetings with Agent Smith?

    Why would disconnecting from the Matrix cause death? If you lose internet connection, your computer doesn't die. Surely, the wire only sends signals to and from the brain, instead of a person's mind exiting their body? What happens if their "wi-fi" slows down? What happens if they lose the connection for just a second?

    Why can't the squids detect the humans, just because they shot off power? Wouldn't they be equipted with thermal sensors (allowing them to detect the multiple humans running around that ship)?

    The agents plant a bug inside of Neo, which is quickly removed by the humans. There is no tension after that. No indication what the agents are following them by car. There's no sense of urgency to get Neo out of the Matrix. If the machines already knew about Neo, why not place an actual bug in him?

    When Neo first exits the Matrix, why does the machine mistake him for dead? Can't it see that he's clearly alive?

    How and when did Fishbourne's character find Neo? How and why did he become convinced that Neo's "The One"?

    We're only told what the deal is, but never shown the horrors of the machines. (Meaning how do we know that what Fishbourne says isn't just propaganda?) Clearly, they're not interesting in wiping out humanity. What is their endgame? To use humans as batteries (which is a stupid idea). So, what are the heroes attempting to end? It's not genocide or something horrible like that. They're just keeping humanity in a virtual reality their whole lives (saving the humans the hazzle of having to live in a post-apocalyptic world). Are there wars, acts of terrorism, or mass shootings* in the virtual world? Unspeakable violence? No, it'd be in the machines best interest, to keep mankind safe and alive.

    In fact, the only source of violence within the Matrix, is the self-proclaimed Resistence, who will get lots of guns and shoot massive amounts of people. To rescue one guy, whom they could've just unplugged at any moment.

    * This film was released less than a month before Columbine. I'm not blaming this film for that tragedy. It's just hard not to think about that tragedy, while watching a movie (released five minutes before it happens) where the supposed heroes goes into a building and massacres a lot of people with automatic weapons (instead of trying to find an easier, and less violent approach). Compare it to Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), where Ethan Hunt also needed to get into a skyscraper. He chose an alternate path (that permitted for action), as he's outright said to not want to risk having to harm any security guards. Of course, Ethan Hunt is a good man. The supposed heroes in The Matrix are a bunch of people who've been indoctrinated, and are willing massacre people with automatic weapons. Fishbourne's character says that they never release anyone above a certain age. Sure it's not because younger people are easier to indoctrinate, while older people are more likely to question what you're telling them?
