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.

@@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.

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.

[@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...?"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11:06 The Matrix made an animatronic baby look real that no other movie has done since.

I always thought the far simpler window cleaning subtext was that it's reinforcing the running theme of people being dispassionately observed from outside.

[@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.

[@chopper2429]

16:00 Fun fact: the movie on the TV is "Night of the Lepus". A really BAAAAAD sci-fi film about giant killer bunnies starring DeForrest Kelly that was recently given the RiffTrax treatment.

[@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.

[@firerath]

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.

9:46 you say that as a joke, but my whole life, i have had around 2 nightmares, and one of them is 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

[@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.

[@FlynnTheRedhead]

Was looking for this a few weeks back and was shocked you hadn't done them yet. Excited for these videos!

[@wingedfish1175]

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

[@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

@@ChadKakashi you look like you were interrupted while being born my guy

[@ejewart1450]

Fun fact: I was born in 2001 so by the time I was old enough to see the movie, it was very much already a classic and no longer new (think I was 12 or 13?) But when I first heard of it and asked what it was about, my mum used the line "nobody can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself" to get me to watch it without spoilers. Worked, cos Ive been hooked ever since.

[@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

[@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.

[@tinashetf]

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

[@lefunghi6151]

Man I adore the Matrix Movies. Hope the new one can even give me a slight bit of that wonder the Trilogy gave me when I first watched it. The music alone gives me goosebumps, those horns are just iconic.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@-MrFozzy-]

This movie freaking BLEW my tiny mind when I saw it in the cinema….it transcended ‘a movie’ to me, and a lot of my friends. Incredible at the time, still fantastic today! I just wish the sequels were ……better? More faithful to this film? They were just a misstep.

[@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.

[@Borrdrc]

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

2:53 if you wonder why he is using Linux instead of Windows. Hint: He's a hacker.

[@adamshepherd640]

I know this is far too late to late in the day to say now but when neo is told to go to the bridge and he is stood under it I for some reason always just assumed there must be a railway on top of the bridge so when people talk about that bridge they generally mean under it

[@3crowsinatrenchcoat]

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

[@not.sure.yet.]

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

[@dont-hurt-me2519]

So this week was EGA The Matrix? And it's also another Two-Parter! So here's a list of twelve suggestions (in no particular order) to consider the week after next week: 1) Gremlins 2) Illumination's Sing 3) Arthur Christmas 4) The Peanuts Movie 5) Elf 6) Toy Story (& its' sequels) 7) Home Alone 2: Lost in New York 8) Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings (It should be out on DVD soon?) 9) The Polar Express 10) Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 Film) 11) Happy Feet 12) The Land Before Time

[@RobertJW]

“Green, mostly. Even the typically white walk signals.” … Our walk signals in Australia, where this was filmed, are green. I recognise that corner, even!

[@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! 🎬🎥🙌

[@ryder19]

Pause at 14:06 and look at the reflection in Morpheus's glasses. When Keanu Reeves becomes the one at the end of the movie he's shot by agent Smith just like he is about to be shot in the reflection. They predicted it THAT soon in the movie.
