THE MATRIX (1999) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@Cifer77]

And nailed every single role. He's amazing! Knowing he won't be in the new film is honestly a brutal blow, Smith was like 50% important from the whole trilogy

[@pikachuspartan1868]

All the fights were done by the actors. They were trained for 4 to 6 months by the fight coordinator's team(that being Yuen Woo Ping, a Chinese film legend). This gave Keanu inspiration to continue martial arts which led to him doing John Wick.

[@transplantman2287]

YES. I love watching behind the scenes stuff from the Matrix movies bc you can SEE the foundations being laid for his interest in martial arts and stunt work. Now we’ve got behind the scenes of John Wick where the crew is saying he’s basically a professional stunt man at this point. I love that for him.

[@billbill6094]

Don't forget that Keanu Reeves' stunt man from The Matrix directed John Wick. Or that it was _because_ he as a stunt man was so impressed with Keanu Reeves' dedication that even over a decade later he changed up the whole script of his very first movie so that the role of John could fit Keanu. Keanu Reeves as of 2023 when JW 4 came out is still younger than the original vision of John Wick Chad Stahelski had. Nowadays every movie studio tries to copy John Wick's marketing by excessively praising their A list actor for being the most hardworking, dedicated, talented, etc. But it goes to show you how genuine that praise is for Reeves when a man who worked with him a decade before is willing to gamble his directorial debut on him. And it changed action movies forever, and even among the copycats each Wick raised the bar and showed you what could be done if you let the actual performers have input.

[@aelussa7047]

She also never actually says that he isn't The One. Neo says he isn't The One, and the Oracle just says, "Sorry kiddo." You could interpret that as her being sorry because he doesn't want to be The One, but she sees that he's going to be.

Also notice that just has a website, She ask/propose Neo for "cookies". She's making a "cold reading" (collecting information), by taking his hands and looking at him. One of the inspiration for the Oracle, was an Old website, from before Search engines where made in the very first years of the internet, called the Oracle Machine or something like that. An User would ask a question, that question would be reviewed by Other users and Moderators, and they would answer that question. WHile the User who asked that question had to wait for the answer, he would then be proposed by the site, to review and answer someone's else Question,and so forth, creating somekind of Network between users, where they would each other answers, each others question and sharing their informations and knowledge.

[@vascobroma8907]

"If you die in the Matrix, you die here too," because "the mind makes it real." Whatever you convince the conscious mind to recognize, the subconscious mind still has trouble letting go of the Matrix. That's why death in the Matrix results in death in the real world; the subconscious can't tell the difference, so the mind ceases. Except, when Trinity kissed Neo in the real world as he was dying in the Matrix, something about the sensation of it caused his subconscious to recognize that the death he's facing isn't real. It's like a lucid dream - if you're dreaming and you come to the realization that you're asleep and dreaming, you have the ability to control it. It not only "brought him back" but it was the last nudge he needed to really detach his subconscious from the simulation it's accustomed to, thereby allowing him to be "reborn" with the full ability to manipulate the simulated environment.

I've watched SO MANY REACTIONS to The Matrix and y'all's is by far the best, especially the climax of the film. It's _so satisfying_ to watch people experience it for the first time, even moreso when they don't even try to hold anything back. Isn't it amazing how well this movie holds up even though it's more than 20 years old at this point?

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

One of the best rewatchable films ever made, you'll discover new little details every time you see it and understand more of the underlying aspects of the film. Like people thinking Neo is flying in the end, but when you rewatch it you remember Morpheus saying "you think that's air you're breathing?", meaning Neo isn't flying because there's no actual air or gravity in the Matrix, Neo is moving freely within the Matrix because he no longer has any restraints.

[@ringod123]

A lot of people miss that the Oracle actually told the truth (you have the gift but it seems like you're waiting for something, your next life maybe), Neo wasnt the one to start with, and only after he died and came back to life did he become the one, as seen when he wakes up and sees the matrix in code.

Remember watching this on VHS when I was 10 for the first time. Mind blowing stuff, especially pre-digital/internet/social media age.

[@antdujar]

My fave movie trilogy in existence. Along with the animatrix. Everything about it, the concepts that have aged like fine wine with computer programming, tech, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, art, comics/manga/anime, and due to the growth of video game culture, actually helped to prove how much the concepts in the trilogy is justified and work. Even if the cgi becomes dated(in regards to reloaded and revolutions due to the limitations of cgi at that time), it contextually still fits in with the matrix since this iteration is basically what video games were like when gameplay would blend in and out of cutscenes haha. So it justifies everything perfectly. And the trilogy and concepts actually aged well after all these years. Videos,e culture at this point has caught up to the concepts of the matrix trilogy and even helped to give it even more substance now. Hell, evangelion 3.0+0.1 did a good job at exemplifying what the matrix trilogy tried to get across ata time where we just wasn’t as open to until now. Even then, the trilogy is amazing and is my fave film trilogy of existence.

[@scottlouis]

I remember watching this for the first time. We were blown away and had no idea what just happened. We went right to the next showing. Lol One of my best memories. Kinda pre-internet spoilers. Was great. 🤘🏽🤘🏽 Wished they would’ve shown when the agent dodges all the bullets. I’ll never forget the theaters reaction at that part.

[@williamozier918]

One of the unique brilliances fo this movie; it's one of the few movies where the special effects aren't just for show, every special effect represents something actually happening to the characters.

[@wolfmayner6274]

You guys have GOT to do the whole trilogy, it's a masterpiece.

[@tanelviil9149]

Come on are you telling me you believe that they never saw the matrix ??? Come on, even people in poor siberia could watch matrix the movie.

[@paulelroy6650]

The first 1 is 2 and 3 in no way are masterpieces

@@paulelroy6650 the whole trilogy is a masterpiece, to think the contrary means you didn't understand it. 😂

[@SillyPom]

I had no idea you two hadn't seen this gem yet. Moment that I saw it on my feed I just thought, "Oh hell yes. These guys are going to dig this so hard!" Blockbuster blend of sci-fi, cyberpunk, anime, European action movies, spy thrillers, John Woo and Hong Kong martial arts and wire-work stunts. It really is the Wachowskis' dream rock album encompassing everything they love about cinema, comic books, world philosophies, right down to the music. - They insisted it had to end on Rage Against The Machine. Just a top notch flick all around that certainly left its mark. Rock on brothers.

[@roguealien]

Excellent review gentlemen. Watching you both "get it" was fantastic. I was a home theater installer and would use the opening scenes to demo a homeowners surround sound system. Watching Trinity run across the wall taking out the police thunders with the bass up. One of my all time favorite movies. Watch and review the 2nd and 3rd. We who have seen them all want to see your reaction to the sequels. Go Brothers, the Matrix calls..(do you think that's air your breathing?)

[@vertigoz]

22:53 One thing that always surprised me was the fact that half of the crew has been dead but it's as if nothing has happened

[@ahdvd]

You guys need ti see the original anime of Ghost In The Shell (the recent movie with Scarlett Johannsenn was a live action version of it, which is watchable but not a touch on the original anime). The anime is seen by many as a huge influence on The Matrix, not the martial arts but the visual style and the look. One review simply put it ‘No Ghost In The Shell, no Matrix, it’s that simple’. Also, you don’t think about it during the movie while you’re caught up in it, but think about this: Morpheus is told he will be the one to find ‘the One’. Neo is told he’s not the one, but has ‘The Gift’. When Morpheus is captured, and Neo makes the decision to rescue him, if he left him to die it automatically means that Neo must be The One.

[@all1lla197]

@3:12 "Okay... 'Wall Run'???!" There it is ladies and gentlemen. 2021 and he just coined that action scene! 😆😅🤣Can't wait to see the rest of these guys' reaction.

[@Camille4Real]

Oh wow! Didn't know you guys have never seen this movie! I saw it in theaters... walked out looking at everything and everyone weird lol.

[@avace917]

Watching you two react to this 24 years later is hysterical. When I saw this in the theater, I knew IMMEDIATELY that I needed a DVD player

[@Chillyz]

When this movie came out that style of Nokia did not exist. Everyone wanted one so bad!

[@winwinmilieudefensie7757]

Thats bullshit ...that nokia was allready old by then

[@Chillyz]

@@winwinmilieudefensie7757 Not the spring loaded one that slid down like that. They had the 8110 that you had to manually put down. The 7110 (spring loaded) came out in October of 1999 after the movie was released. Most people had the 3210, which I had in my early 20's cause it was cheaper. I also bought a trench coat cause of the Matrix lol!

[@01bigtrev]

My friend bought one at the time and when we was out at a bar or in a club he would just pull it out and so the flick with the biggest grin on his face just to wind us up. It was funny I have to admit.

[@darkbloodgt6577]

He is my favorite actor he is so kind and humble he can go anywhere and be well respected

[@bluegreenglue6565]

You guys! : D Your enjoyment of this movie has made my whole day!!

[@jsapcakrrow]

This was a huge blockbuster!! I saw this in the theater. It blew everyone’s mind. It’s one of those movies you needed to watch a couple of times to grasp what the matrix was back then. Y’all have you watch #2 & #3 to finish off the trilogy. They are filming #4 finally!!

[@bryanstarke2931]

Nice bonus that you guys dig Rage Against The Machine 🔥

[@VolatileSupernova]

Yo you guys are too much fun, it's always a hype day when I find a new channel that reacts to so much good stuff and they have great reactions! That fast travel comment had me rolling!

[@jamedraa8472]

When this movie came out, I went to see it 3 times. Still one of my faves.

[@QoQabai658]

I didn't watch it until 4 years later in 03. And even then it was on cable, blew my f***ing mind! I soooo regretted waiting so long but once I saw it, I went out and bought the VHS 'and' the DVD and must've watched it dozens of times. I love this movie!

[@504octo]

I saw it first day release and 54 times after that day and still counting.

[@tanelviil9149]

Come on are you telling me you believe that they never saw the matrix ??? Come on, even people in poor siberia could watch matrix the movie.

[@lefthand5364]

​@@tanelviil9149 stop crying🤣🤣🤣

[@jordangibbish7701]

That Rage Against The Machine ending is one of the best movie endings of all-time. I only hope that, when we die, we don't wake up to find out we're in The Matrix

[@BJBee]

Hmm. That we're in a Matrix has been said for literally thousands of years. Each period just uses the language of its times. Archons: Machines. Maya/illusion: Matrix. Worse, the matrix is apparently so complex and layered, death isn't an escape. Just a doorway into another layer of the same.

[@Siegeclan34]

Newsflash 😂😅

[@amandadougherty6615]

You guys are f?!ing hilarious. “Oh this room looks like a place you’d get killed…or maybe a WiFi hotspot.” Who knows man?! Stupid alien shrimp.

[@shakplay3992]

i went to watch this movie i was 18 at that time. so whenever someone bought any music system we use MATRIX movie soundtrack to check the sound. MATRIX soundtrack was also great and it was ahead of its time.

[@JesusJuarezGutierrez]

one of my childhood favorite movies!

[@tallyp.7643]

One of my fave things I noticed in this movie--and made me pay more attention to lighting choices in films from then on--is when you're in the Matrix, everything has a greenish tint to it. When in the real world, it's all blue-ish. Makes sense because you're going into some industrial-lighting in the real world on the ships and all (no sunlight to take advantage of).

[@KenjiMapes]

“Are they wizards?” 😆 Actually…yes, kinda… “It’s a shrimp!” 😆🤣😂 “The Matrix is the force” 😁 I love these guys. Just genuine curiosity & excitement. I still cannot believe there are people on this earth who hadn’t seen the Matrix

[@TheRealGSmith]

Every damn scene in this movie is so iconic. It wouldn't have as much of an impact now but back in 1999 The Matrix was something the world hadn't seen yet. It shaped SciFi and action for ... ever.

[@artvandelay3840]

My favorite movie going experience was seeing this movie with a group of friends after school, having only seen a few ads on television, and not really knowing what it was about besides that it had cool fx. Was somewhat bored for the first 20 minutes or so, until the red pill, blue pill scene. Then, my mind was blown. I can't stress enough how exciting this movie was seeing it for the first time. Leaving the cinema absolutely amped.

[@PrettySaditty1920]

The first one was a classic but "Matrix Reloaded" was my favorite.

[@marievjing]

@PrettySaditty1920 Wow. That is really interesting. Actually, I think you're the really first one who said he liked Revolutions. Usually, people prefers the first one or even Reloaded but never the third one. Usually, everybody (even the matrix fans) hate the third one ^^

[@PrettySaditty1920]

@@marievjing I had them mixed up. I meant Reloaded 😆... Revolutions was trash

[@PrettySaditty1920]

@Lee Brown Mixed them up, meant Reloaded...hey it was 3am 🤷🏾‍♀️😆

[@CaddyJim]

Your wild reaction to this movie is cause for reminder imagine seeing this in the 90s 20 years ago

[@presumed_guilty]

Congrats guys on the success of the channel! Keep having fun and it will continue to grow.

[@mrg0th1er83]

Yep. The posters make it look like an action movie. But it's really a hard sci-fi movie with some cool action moments.

[@MrSporkster]

Nokia was king of mobile phones in the 90s and early 2000s. The model used in this movie is the 8110, and it is cool as hell. EVERYBODY wanted one, especially after The Matrix came out!

[@gabsrants]

Apart from the Machines seeming to like the insect aesthetic, I think the bug they put into Neo basically breaks so many laws of the simulation, it can't be depicted as something that would be compatible. It's basically malicious code or an ugly hack, it has to stand out.

[@DerekMoore82]

You guys would *LOVE* The Animatrix!! It's officially canon mini episodes of the Matrix where each episode explains a little more than just what the films provide, and they hired the best anime artists to animate it. Nobody's got a reaction video of the Animatrix yet, your channel should be the first because you guys have the best reaction to the Matrix.

[@Ceractucus]

Good to appreciate the fans, but speaking as a fan, your channel rocks and that's why I show up. I am sure you guys will be at one million a lot sooner than you think. Best Wishes.

[@cassandraphoenix6773]

I saw this in the cinema when it was released and totally blew my mind. It was one of those movies that got the whole world talking.So cool seeing your first time reactions to film.

[@blackkatt777]

The first and second movie is everything. The third one was ok. The soundtrack is so amazing. P.O.D. did a song for movie 2 called Sleeping Awake. So good. I think trinity was forcing his real body to breath by kissing him. It brings his mind to go into survival mode and take a breath. Btw...Neo is an anagram for One, as in The One.

[@JustSomeRandomIdiot]

This was a movie made in an era where they actually put real passion and effort into movies. They were actually innovating with technology, the actors did months of martial arts training, the directors were trying to not just tell a story but make a statement too. It was a different era.
