[@CatCheshireThe]

Just a random little detail about the "Lady in the red dress" scene that I always enjoyed is how Morpheus is effortlessly gliding through the crowd while Neo is constantly bumping into everyone

[@AviRox1154]

I always interpreted that as showing how Morpheus has been through the training program multiple times before, innately knowing where all of the "NPCs" are going to be, while Neo hasn't seen it before. Fun way to show their differences in experience.

[@myndlink]

It's like Morpheus is Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

[@redholm]

@@AviRox1154 I think it might be that since everyone is code. It would not take to much to just influence them to not be in your path

[@NeoGeo2006]

Hahaha

[@MadMaxBible]

One thing should be mentioned: Morpheus pulled multiple people from the Matrix thinking they were the 'One' and they all died. Cypher watched it happen over and over again and it was one of the reasons he betrayed him. It's not in the film, but in the script that Cypher said something akin to "He's been telling all of them they can fight the Agents, none of them survived. So here's my advice if you see an Agent. Run". Eventually Morpheus found Neo but the part that that he killed multiple innocent people to do that is not even mentioned.

[@Szokynyovics]

Yeah, Cypher is TOTALLY a relatable character. I don't say I'd do the same as he did, especially with the explicit betrayal, but still... understandable.

[@Mopark25]

This makes the movie soooo much better than it already is. Wish they kept it in.

[@MadMaxBible]

@@Mopark25 Parts of it are still in the film. In the opening you can hear Trinity talk to Cypher and he says "We're going to kill him, do you understand that?". Without context it sounds like Cypher is planning to kill Neo. But what he really means is that Neo is just another one they're trying to pull out of the Matrix and that's going to kill him.

Fun fact: In the original script of this movie, the machines were using humans' nervous systems for processing power, not just harvesting body heat for energy. I love this idea and think it makes a lot more sense, so even if the executives vetoed the idea, I still headcanon that the humans have it all wrong and that's still what's really happening.

[@littlemissmonster6969]

Fun fact: when the idea for this movie was first presented and a budget of over $60,000,000 was requested, they were rejected and given around $15,000,000 instead. All fifteen million was spent on the opening scene with Trinity, and the studio were so wowed that they gave the green light for the larger budget

[@SignalFlowers]

So they spent 15Mil on the first 10 minutes of the film and 45Mil on the rest 120 ? Seems weird.

[@darekun46]

@@SignalFlowers A significant part of the spending to get that opening scene done is resources they can use for the rest of the movie. Frex, the many-cameras setup to get that freeze-and-pan using physical effects; they then continued to use the same cameras.

[@SignalFlowers]

@@darekun46 Ohhh ! That makes sense.

[@crazytony18]

I did wonder how they managed (as fresh new directors in Hollywood with almost no films to their name and a crazy idea) to get a budget big enough for every crazy tech they invented for this film. Turns out they kicked ass, which is kinda to the point of this film. Edit: they kinda snicked the movie by the producers, like they snicked it by the audience. "Yeah! This is and awesome action sci-fi movie! But is it...?"

[@just-trying-my-best-everyday]

Them using a fifth of the budget on ten minutes feels the exact same way as High School Musical 2 using an entire week of its 5-week shooting time to film Bet On It.

[@nathanabbotts9588]

I really liked the scene with Trinity where she's aiming her guns at the window she just jumped through expecting an agent and she's just willing herself to move, I thought it was such a brilliant scene showing her fear of the agents and how scared and running on instinct she is when fleeing them, brilliant way to showcase how terrifying the agents really are

[@happyninja42]

Another thing about the window washing scene that I think was intentional, is that, having that thing happening while he is being "dressed down" by his boss, is very odd. It serves to remove a lot of the sting and authority of his supervisor. Because....Neo just keeps getting distracted, and watching the squeaky cleaning wands go up and down. It's fairly comical with it's absurdist tone. It feels like something that might happen in a Monty Python skit. Where this Really Serious Thing is happening....and the janitor comes in and starts loudly vacuuming in the room. Undercutting any sense of threat or power from the speaker. To me, this feels like one of those times that "The One, could reshape the Matrix, as he saw fit." That Neo, unconsciously did this, because he was probably thinking "Man I'd rather being doing ANYTHING than listening to this asshole....." *squeak, squeak, sssquuuuueak* *Stops listening to his boss and just watches that for a bit* Then when he finally snaps back, he realizes the guy didn't even notice he wasn't paying attention, but that he was done. So he just kind of nods and is like "yes sir." Reprimand over, leave room.

[@tdugong]

Actually, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

[@samimechitoua6556]

[@MsLouisez]

@@taylorgalilea698 do you have other safety measures where you live for colourblindness? - green and red are in different boxes so they can't be confused. - the icons are different (walk man is green and stand man is red) - the 'crossing noise/tick' goes off with the green man (pedestrian right of way), and gradually gets slower as you run out of time. The noise turns off as the red man comes on. I am near sighted so the red and green blur and noise really help me.

The agents as a metaphor for transphobia makes a lot of sense now that i think about it. If Neo does something out of the ordinary, any person around him can turn into an agent, and because of that he has to keep his guard up around everyone. They’re obsessed with keeping him from discovering his true self and then when he does they want to drag him back into the matrix or kill him. They bribe his ally into betraying him by offering him acceptance back into society. The creators coming out really gives the film a whole new angle to explore (not that it needed it, I think this movies brilliant)

I've read countless essays, magazine articles, watched videos on it, talked with friends for hours... and yet you still managed to point out stuff in here that I'd never noticed before. Second, I had no clue about Nebula. I used your link and signed up for a year's access... I mean, an entire year for less than $12!

As many people have pointed out in the comments to this video, The Matrix wasn't just a movie. It literally changed how I looked at life and how I approached different situations. I was 21 when it came out, and I can directly attribute a lot of the success I've had in my life to some of the philosophies I gained by watching this movie and reading up on the story behind the story. In fact, there is one other work of fiction that had an even greater impact on my life: Ender's Game. I read it in the early 1990s when I was in high school, and I've read it at least once per year, every year, ever since. "The enemy's gate is down" is a line the resonates with me as much as "there is no spoon" does.

[@keigoftw]

For Keanu this was a major bridge point to John Wick, not nearly as important of a movie as a whole, but a very important movie for *him*. This established him as a serious actor & gave him the cred that made people realize he'd be game for extreme amounts of weapons training. This is how we got a 50+ Keanu Reeves that knows how to kill a man 50+ different ways, despite the fact that in real life he's way, way to nice to ever lay hands on someone irl.

[@rmsgrey]

Based purely on the pioneering effects work and the sheer number of references and parodies over the years, I find it hard to come up with a reasonable definition of "importance" where The Matrix is outweighed by John Wick - except possible if you add "when only looking at the last 5 years of cinema" or similar.

[@Deathlygunn]

@@rmsgrey Agreed.

One of my favorite little touches in the office scene is how robotic the agents are. If you went to a cubicle to try to find someone, and didn't see them, your first instinct would be to look around the immediate area, but because they're inhuman programs, their first instinct is to begin scanning the office top-down, to the point that even as Neo fumbles out behind them, they don't have any notice that he's there because he's not in the part he's searching. They haven't revealed what the Matrix is yet but they're already showing how inhuman they are.

9:26 That sound you're hearing comes from an instrument called a waterphone. It's basically a pot with metal rods of variable lengths welded along its circumference and a pipe welded at the center. when you add water to the pot and rub a bass bow against the rods, it creates that sound effect. It's also very prominently heard in the opening theme as well. Don Davis' use of modern percussion techniques like the use of a waterphone, tam-tam effects, crotales on timpani, anvils, etc. has quickly made this movie's soundtrack among my favorites, and I haven't even seen the movie before (I don't mind spoilers, because I'll honestly forget them in 5 minutes).

love this film... even more because my names carved into the elevator when they go to see the oracle! 15:49

[@joshjones9749]

Neo coming off that broken neck in the training sequence really added to his performance of him looking stiff, rigid and green around the gills compared to Morpheus.

13:36 I hate to tell you this, but walking lights in Australia are just green everywhere, including Sydney where this was filmed. I didn’t even know white walk signals were a thing until you said what I thought was normal apparently wasn’t.

[@edmac3651]

13:36 . In Australia the 'WALK' signals are already green. It was the one of the lynchpins of the movie being filmed there. The dot matrix imagery of crosswalk signs is notoriously hard to edit in post production so they chose Sydney to film in so they at least wouldn't need to retouch the scenes later.

[@itsjustbrandy4290]

That's awesome info. Thank you!

[@wingedfish1175]

13:36 the move was filmed in Australia (I believe sydney) where the crossing signals are green

[@CubanSpartan]

Just like with The Matrix, i'm gonna have to rewatch this like 50 times to catch and appreciate all the little details you worked into this thing. And just like with The Matrix, it's gonna be excellent every single time.

The "little horror trill sound" at 9:21 is done with an instrument called "Waterphone"

[@jackbubblegum]

Cool!

[@mushroomsoup2866]

Of course the Wachowski sisters are great at scene transitions. They're also amazing at other kinds of transitions too

[@lukeskywalker8543]

These are the kind of trans jokes that are actually funny.

[@ChadKakashi]

@@lukeskywalker8543 you should hear more jokes then, this one was just lame.

[@ChadKakashi]

I wouldn’t call it “amazing”, they look like they got interrupted while transitioning.

[@lukeskywalker8543]

@@ChadKakashi only people who are still dudebros from the 90s use the word lame

3:08 it could also be a reference to 1984, the torture room 101, as in he is trapped in here being tortured

[@Sleeepehead]

He’ll do the secret life of Walter Mitty before I turn 20. Hopefully

Here I am wondering how it took so long to get this one. This is the GREAT vid I didint realise just how much I needed to see considering The Matrix is one of my favourite films

[@ferrous719]

Honestly I've never considered getting nebula until you said the extra video was on there. I think it's an extremely important thing to discuss and I like the way you discuss movies.

[@NickKoutonias]

Oh man YES. Since Ressurections got a release day I have just been waiting for your videos on the trilogy (gotta play to the algorithm somehow), and I'm so happy it's finally here. So hyped to watch. EDIT: It's goood. Heading over to Nebula to watch the rest right now

[@3817tuamigo]

Thank you for this. My young inner self was just beaming the whole time. This and Jurassic Park define much of our childhood movie experience. Everything else is either coming up the mountain or down the mountain from those two peeks.

[@darryljack6612]

I know it has a whole month till it reaches Disney Plus, but i cant wait for EGA Encanto. Maybe you can do a 60 sec review for it, because that movie is too amazing not to be at least reviewed.

[@darryljack6612]

@Anna ♪ thanks I have now been traumatized, but it gets a win for a good message.

[@lilnicky131]

The Matrix has always been my favorite movie and i too was around 14 the first time I saw it. But you have shown me so many new Easter eggs I never new existed. Thank you!

[@3crowsinatrenchcoat]

To this day everytime I'm feeling nervous about something I remind myself "there is no spoon"

[@TheCombatEditor62]

4:45 fun fact: I believe that the two directors were the window cleaners in this scene.

[@Aidscapade71]

Dunno how anyone else feels but check out Sideways talking about the matrix. He does a whole video about why the soundtrack is so awesome, and why someone was able to use the compete complexity of it as their doctoral dissertation

[@odalicio]

10:55 brother, i watch it every month or so and the matrix still make brain pudding out of my conscience

[@classiccinemac9480]

So happy to be watching this!!! Been waiting to see Everything Great About The Matrix!! My favorite film from 1999!! 😎😎 Can’t wait for Resurrections in December! Because of this, I gotta rewatch the trilogy 😎🙌 Thank you CinemaWins! 🎬🎥🙌

[@not.sure.yet.]

I am totally enjoying the subtitles changing colors for the different parts of the movie. Beautiful touch.

[@itsamerby4270]

THANK YOU for noticing and commenting on the trans allegorical layers of the Matrix as just another good point that adds to the merit of the film. No social uprising or similar necessary, just saying things like "Huh, deadnaming Neo is trying to push him back into the Matrix." Much love and many thanks

[@piplup10203854]

The two reflections of Neo in the agent's glasses is one of the coolest details in this movie for me, I love that narrative of dual lives co-existing in one sense of reality.

[@matthewparker9276]

This is a great movie, and the directing and cinematography is truely inspired. So many missed opportunities in the sequels though. The trilogy would have been much better if it continued as sci-fi horror rather than sci fi action.

[@ragnarlothbrok5100]

Gotta say that I really appreciate your work man. It's really cool how you notice the little things. I find myself always clicking your videos whenever I see them pop-up. I mostly agree with your wins and I love your style of dry humor. Just good job

hey! I know this will be lost in the sea of comments but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your content. Love how it shows the good side to all movies good or bad. whenever I cant sleep I put your old videos I've seen on and its certainly helps

[@xephronzz9585]

It pains me that people in 2021 are so hateful over Trans issues, even though real world health organizations support transgender people. I look forward to watching your extended analysis on Nebula! I love this channel so much!

[@james10morin]

I love your work, I've watched every one of your videos. So happy you are finally doing the Matrix. Next id love to see you do V for Vendetta. I think you would truly show how amazing that movie really is. Thanks, keep up the great work! Enjoy your upcoming holidays!

[@dont-hurt-me2519]
