Yeah, there's so many movies pointing at the issue, the list is huge! It goes way back to a time before movies too, like Plato's - The Cave....it seems it's a story as old as time, a neverending story, one might say. And it's not going anywhere.....

[@TerraFilmTV]

@@paulcurran4786 odd to think. But what if we just never learn. A never ending cycle, some with memories of it try to warn us of not going down the path of computers. Yet the idea of technology always intrigues us as humans to push further, discover more. Only leading to greed, lethargic behavior, and unfortunately our own demise. However even things like movies that could be used to instill this warning, drive us to fulfill that urge even more. Who knows

[@paulcurran4786]

@@TerraFilmTV Yeah, i wasn't really talking about computers/technology. I see those as only the modern day backdrop that the Wachowskie's used to get their point across.

I'm probably from your age group, America was still in it's golden age. in the 90's I watched all the school psychologists observing mainly the kids with divorced parents like myself, i noticed those kids had similar issues too me. I noticed how burned out teachers already were when I got there, and I felt like there was this enormous enslaving like pressure to become a doctor, like my dad, at like age 8, despite barely average grades from barely being able to focus (then they wanted to medicate). Trauma at home = not focusing at school in short. I was obviously miserable feeling like a prisoner, and I saw most of the population miserable back then, adult professionals especially, cops were miserable, my parents, and thought, something isn't right, and there is no way the world is going to make it like this with a 50% divorce rate, homelessness, etc. I smirked over the identity crisis, the kids at school mimicking the outfits, but as I explored the first film especially I was pretty blown away once I understood it; and I especially understood it when I started to work for corporations!

[@soapboxearth2]

The reason this movie was so popular was because it gave people the feeling that , yes, there is something very wrong with the world. People had felt for a very long time, a feeling that our world was somehow doomed and not what it seemed. Admittedly, that feeling in part was a product of other media we had all consumed.. Now, a quarter century later, the grip of media influence has loosened, and the internet has become a serious threat to the people who were in charge of what we thought. Now you are in charge of what you think.

[@chuckintexas]

It also made people realize that what they feared thus hated , COULD be defeated, but then it showed too that while that fight is crucially _important_ , it would ONLY be won at GREAT COST . Basically its up to US , and we (most of us) aren't interested . Remember, ~200 years ago - only III% of the original colonists stood against the overpowering authority of the time, the most important world power on the planet . We prevailed but only at GREAT cost . While some are busily 'shrooming and toking their lives away, SOME have chosen to unplug from that Matrix .

[@gamingforever6687]

The matrix was not created by the wachowskies. A black female author wrote the matrix books 1 and 2, and wrote the terminator 1- 4 stories 30 years prier to the films. The wachowskies and jamaes cameron stole her content. She sued them for $2 billion., hollywood stays quiet. The majority of directors in hollywood are talentless. The director of the village movie M night shyamala with jaquin pheonix, stole the idea from a female author called magaret haddix who wrote the book running out of time which is identical to the film. His other movie life of Pi was ripped off from an indian childrens book author who grew up in the same part of idea as he did. The matrix is nonsense anyway. Its just religion repackaged into new age philosophy. If you look at Neos long black coat he wears, it looks very similar to the catholics popes uniform.

[@russpearson9802]

I was an extra on 2-3. I was originally cast as a stand in, cut my hair off between casting and filming, and got relegated to the extra ranks. Spent a lot of time on several sets. We often sat around for 2 or 3 days waiting for the call out, get the call, do a few takes or rehearsals, get called to go to lunch, that was the days work. It was pretty hard to work out what the story line was, as they mixed up the filming sequences so yu had no bloody clue. It was a lot of fun but. I got on screen a few times, but they dimmed the lighting in the movie, and im in the shadows mostly. Had yarns with a few of the main actors. Fishburne is a hectic dude. Im in a couple of scenes with him, but yu hardly see me. In one scene im sitting next to roy jones jr (hes also a cool dude) at the war council, yu can see him clear as day and im in the bloody shadows. Lol. 😆😁. I got busted looking at the directors monitors after each reset. They even told me off for acting, or more to the point over acting. I said oh if im actually acting am i, shouldn't i be getting actor rates instead of extras rate. I got a good laugh out of that, but naa, sadly never got no pay rise. I was watching where the camera was going and where the action was, to makes sure i got on screen. They figured me out i reckon, cause i did get on screen a few times, the only time yu can see me clearly bugger it, is my friggin hand ffs. Fmd, there went my dreams of bein the next Mel.

This is called the quickening. As time progresses, the rate of change increases. There are different power structures, amd we cycle through them. Every system has a lifecycle and none of them last forever. It generally follows the MODRA pattern. Monarchy, Oligarcy, Democracy, Republic, Amarchy.

There are so few movies with content that can emotionally engage me so much that I get chills from them for 1 reason or another, that I can count them on 1 hand, but Matrix has such a big hidden message that it just needs to play the main title track and I already have chills from that moment.
