Its kinda ironic because Morpheus really only introduced his perspective and knowledge as the truth to Neo, but Morpheus does not know the whole story either as he is being played by the Oracle and Architect. It really just shows that anyone with a strong enough belief will present their own subjective reality to others as facts.

[@phillipmcneely8384]

@fighder2 Thank you for your interesting comment. I agree that Morpheus does not know the whole story. And I am glad that you brought this up. Just remember that God's truth is infinite. So nobody (except God) knows the whole story about anything. At first glance, it appears to me that Morpheus fell short of doing an adequate job of preparing Neo by telling Neo the things that Neo needed to know in order to make an informed decision about whether to exit the Matrix (I.E. the dream world) or take the blue pill. Morpheus later apologized to Neo in the movie. When he apologized, Morpheus told Neo that he did what he did because he had to (do it). After I thought this over, it occurred to me that Morpheus did not have all day long to prepare Neo. The duration of the interview between Morpheus and Neo was limited because Neo was still connected to the Matrix and the agents can eventually discover the hack in the Matrix if they are allowed enough time to do so. In the end, Morpheus had to do what he did because Neo is the one. If Neo takes the blue pill and goes home, then humanity cannot be saved. At least, not during this particular iteration of the Matrix.

[@rsolsjo]

It also makes you question free will. The entire first movie says "we do have free will, we aren't just slaves to our programming (destiny)". The second one says "but maybe not..". Neo does eventually CHOOSE Trinity, and that leads all the way to peace, but before that.. Morpheus was just another cog in a system. He thinks he's telling Neo the truth and doing it by his own choosing, he isn't, he never was. As The Merovingian says, "choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without". You can take it pretty far.

[@Ziids7]

The dichotomy between this scene and Neo’s earlier interrogation by Smith is awesome. Smith, as an Agent of the Matrix, saying ‘you pay your taxes’ with almost respect in his voice, because it’s a standard act within the laws of the Matrix that maintains the illusion and keeps humanity in line. Morpheus saying ‘when you pay your taxes’ with almost derision in his voice, because he knows it just helps maintain the status quo that the Matrix needs to keep functioning; as the Architect later explained, the ‘ideallic’ Matrix they created first was rejected by humanity, and only in one where humans have to do something as mundane as paying taxes do they blindly accept it as reality.

[@M0butu]

[@dentn462]

Yep

[@archerj.maggott1372]

Yeah, I think the Matrix is a parable for society and culture. It's a force which is internal to our minds, which governs our behavior without any kind of external physical coercion, like an internal prison, since the majority of what governs our behavior is culture, rather than law. We're just brought up to believe that we must stay within the confines of what our culture dictates, and since it's all been reinforced to us so repeatedly, going against it produces a sensation of anxiety, not unlike a little voice that says, "Ooh, you shouldn't do that," even if the decision to either do or not do a particular thing should be completely trivial. Even if and when we suspect that it's all trivial, for some reason, the majority of us would stay within our internal confines anyway, even if we might genuinely like to break the ever-so-precious rules a little bit. For instance, maybe you'd like to go to a restaurant and order dessert first, or maybe you'd like to go for a walk during a rainstorm and deliberately get soaking wet, or maybe you're a man who would rather wear women's underpants than men's, just because you find them so much more comfortable. They're just random examples, but if you feel like doing such things, the only rules that say you mustn't are completely inside of your own head.

So I've been on a Matrix binge lately. What I first assumed was clunky pacing is actually high level filmmaking. The mystery surrounding Morpheus and his team all but disappears in a matter of 15 minutes, between the time Neo takes the pill and defeats Morpheus in the Kung-Fu simulation. As a younger viewer, I wished the movie revealed more, later in the film, and get Morpheus and Trinity more mysterious until later in the film, but now I realize it's just right. The red pilled humans were desperate, and gave Neo exactly what he needed so that his mind wouldn't reject the truth. I wish the rest of the series kept this kind of intentional pacing.

This movie hasn't aged, if anything it's gotten better and more relevant as time's gone on. I watched it in the cinema with a friend of mine who insisted we go watch it. I couldn’t thank him enough. My mind as the end credits rolled was full of delight, questions and anticipation for a sequel. The Matrix could have turned out terrible had they cast the wrong (bums on seats) actors. This film had a huge cultural impact and has become a cinematic masterpiece. The cast, setting, lighting, and sound all create a powerful ensemble. I'm going to learn Morpheus' monologue from this scene for my next acting class. Thanks for sharing!

[@marcelclover6650]

FishBurn Sooooo underrated.

[@zakrios7389]

Damn Morpheus didn’t wash his hands before giving him the pill

[@xevox7927]

And he held them firmly

[@uncharted7againblackking256]

Oh hush lol

[@callumsykes1307]

Hold on, Neo. I must first rinse my hands with warm water and soap whilst singing the song 'happy birthday' twice. Ironic, considering the birth that is available to you.

3:30 Neo is like "Uh, so this guy I've been searching for for years is just a drug dealer and user? That's his big secret? I guess all the philosophical talk about the mind being enslaved starts to make sense now... Must be some powerful stuff, I guess I'll try it"

[@TopFix]

Can you imagine being in the room in post-production watching this before the world, knowing you're seeing a literal masterpiece in the making?

[@kextrz]

One of the greatest scenes in cinema history. One of the greatest acting performances in cinema history from Laurence Fishburne. He wasn't even nominated if I remember correctly.

[@yan2503]

I still remember watching this at the theater, the buildup and suspense before Neo knows the truth is amazing.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Neo & Morpheus's last lines to each other were exactly the same as their first.

[@Mrctubeee]

0:23 literally my reaction when my boss calls me to his office

[@michaelkeaton5394]

I love how when morpheus says "that you are a slave" the shot on neo is slightly less green, he now already has a foot out of the matrix...

[@lincolnrafale4891]

Oh yes don't forget the ominous sound of thunder when he takes the pill to add to the suspense

notice how when Neo reaches for the red pill then Morpheus interrupts, Neo doesn't bring his hand back and hesitate. When Morpheus finishes talking he grabs the red pill right away - that's the decision making we should all have

3:49 cool use of the reflective sunglasses. Also really cool sunglasses.

One of my favorite scenes. Morpheus: "I imagine you are feeling a bit like Alice". Me: Hell, I feel like that everyday. 😂😂

[@Crichjo32]

21 years later and this movie is more relevant than ever. The 'Matrix' is very real. It's the system of contol we put under ourselves every day, simply because we believe in the lie.

[@BabbyCat3008]

I would want to call you a conspiracy theorist, but I can't. I simply can't. You guys make more and more sense everyday.

[@fmagalhaes1521]

@Crichjo32. Some of us have seen through the lie but we are surrounded by family and loved ones who not only believe the lie, but defend it as well.

[@Scyllax]

NOOOOOO, REALLY? You figured this out all by yourself.

[@aristidesc.9934]

The stablishment.

[@therealkingofrhye]

Thinking you're living in some great lie is a typical, instinctive self-defence mechanism. It often happens to people in times of high stress, simply because they can't deal with the fact that their reality is truth. Cool story though.

[@noogieyeet1102]

Every single casting in this movie is just SO good.

[@triquepersonalwork6369]

I saw the Matrix in the theatre at age 17, and at the end, I told my friend, “wow, the philosophy and meaning of this movie was amazing”, and he said, “nah, it was just about special effects”. To this day, I have seen many references in popular culture through the years about the philosophy of this movie.

[@brianchu8147]

I think it's understated that the Matrix brought virtual avatars in to mainstream culture. Neo has no idea if this is what the "real" Morpheus even looks like - but it doesn't matter, because the meeting of their virtual avatars is essentially used to represent their potential "first" meeting in the real world. So cool.

[@picklecraft164]

True

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

It's kinda funny thinking about it. It's like Neo was being tempted into a cult or about to have his organs stolen if the rest of the movie didn't happen.

[@vamsikgp]

From Morpheus point of view, he must have practised this hundreds of times to keep it interesting enough and mysterious enough, hoping that Neo wouldn't chose the wrong pill. After all, he literally bet his life on Neo being the one.

We're enslaved not only in the material world because of money, banking, interest etc, but also our consiounessness. We've been separated from the soul. This movie is a documentary.

[@deathrager2404]

the enslavement is different now. they dont force you anymore, they give you options. but the options make your brain addicted to their substances whatever they are. fast food, alcohol, tobacco and even smartphones and wifi. they make you addicted to this shit, they get paid for it and at the same time they will kill you with it. people are litterally paying the elites to get killed. lol redpill for life.

[@jamiefenwick8359]

The real indicator of this scenes brilliance to me is that so many different people interpret the elements of it in completely different ways. It just shows that the ideas it gets at are so innate to how our brains work or at least how the world has shaped our brains. You can get 2 different people with completely polar opposite world views and they would give you two completely different takes on what this means despite it all being based on the same core ideas the movie invokes . All of this only scratches the surface level of the ideas in the matrix. What a truly brilliant movie.

[@rajeshnaidu8715]

movie is just perfect.... with nice cast... masterpiece touching reality of life
