The craziest thing is, everyone in the cast was supposed to read giant book on nihilism and philosophy - Lawrence Fishburne was the only one who didn't read it. There might be more to it, but this was what I remember. His acting is just slightly different than others because he didn't read this massive philosophical thing, and yet he nonetheless made this entire movie next level, and it may have unintentionally worked to this trilogy's advantage.

For an exposition dump, it has a talented enough actor and good enough effects to be engaging, but it isn't good exposition, it's a dump of exposition. Metropolis (the movie that both The Matrix and Dark City ape in terms of themes and style) by Fritz Lang has a masterclass in exposition using visuals and music cues to create and exposit a world unlike anything else ever seen before on film. Hell, even Dark City does a far superior job at expositing about its world without dumps (until the mini-dump by Kiefer Sutherland at the end).

This is one of the best sequences in the history of Science Fiction movies. The only change I wished they would have made was the line "combined with a form of fusion". Beautifully done. Having experienced a similar horrifying shocking reality myself, Neo's mental breakdown was right on point.

[@z00mer]

I always found the loading construct intro so cool. You expect to hear echoes, footsteps or ambient sounds other than their voices, but there is nothing. Even Morpheus sunglasses have no reflection at first because it hasn’t rendered yet. Only when Neo interacts with the chair or when the tv turns on you hear sound effects.

[@Gumbocinno]

His reaction after he got unplugged seemed pretty on point. If someone were to genuinely experience that, I imagine they'd pass out from pure shock.

[@rsolsjo]

As Morpheus says, especially after they've reached a certain age. A child or teen can be easier to free, they haven't fully understood life yet.

[@morganrussman]

I partly think that it was partly because of all of what Morpheus was telling him in this video, I think it overwhelmed Neo. I mean, when you think of it, everything up to however old Neo was at the time of when they freed him, Neo realized was one giant lie made up by a computer program, that's a lot to take in.

[@jayhemfindsyou]

So in a way Morpheus is telling Neo he's been living in a "dream" world and is in fact asleep in the real world and everything in this "dream" is not real.

It's funny how everybody is genuinely concerned about Neo's mental breakdown, except for Cypher, who is just "he's gonna pop ( •-•)"

Cypher is the original incel. Was gonna kill everyone in Zion because his crush liked another guy better.

I love this scene but it always pains me to know the studio dumbed it down: my understanding is that the original script had the machines using humans for processing power, not batteries. But the studio thought the average movie goer wouldn't understand. Still, incredible scene.

The look of Neo at 4:00 is amazing acting. I am a therapist and I see very similar faces when people have confrontations with their unconscious and the real. This is the look of denial blended by hate and aggression towards the confronter -in this context Morpheus-. In my context, their therapist. There is an old Turkish proverb "they kick out who tells the truth from 9 villages" 😂

i figured "Matrix Ressurections" was a diversion tactic to distract us from all the talk and discussion people were having surrounding the aggressive emergence of "AI" this decade. You confirmed it, and I am glad I have yet to allow the 4th installment to ruin the nostalgia I get from watching the original every time. Thanks.

[@Chief4Army117]

2:40 - 2:50: "Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony." That truly is a haunting line from Morpheus.

[@willh7352]

4:25 i had the exact same feeling when i went to college, outside of the public school system. theres some things you wish you never learned you realize you might, just to actually survive. its an odd realization but once you pair it with a few history classes and texts on futurism, you kinda go bonkers for a few hours.

[@10coolfacts]

Really nice audio mixing in this scene. The dead, but resonant sound of the construct. The imposing SFX of the desert of the real, with the added reverb. As Morpheus delves further and further into his explanation, his voice seems to gain heaviness, and so does everything else.

[@nicolasb.henry294]

This scene is amazing. This movie sounds more like a documentatry than a fiction.

[@JustSomeRandomIdiot]

Having an actor who has a voice that is so beautiful, well spoken and deep as Lawrence's, really helps sell the whole scene. Lawrence has the kind of voice suitable to narrate anything, even a nature documentary, and make it sound beautiful and interesting. His cool appearance, his cold factual delivery of such well written lines is a powerful combo. Because the lines it gets to deliver are incredible: "What is real? How do you define real? If you are talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, taste and see then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." That was the kind of thing that blew audience minds back in 1999. The kind of thing that makes you raise a hand and go: "Now wait hang on a sec..... [thinks about this]..... Oh shit >_> ... O_O whoaa.. " To top that off, the excellent mixed emotions acting of Neo as he listens to everything explained to him, and the incredible visuals of the scene as everything is explained. Like the absolute stark white room they start off in, moving through the TV, the visions of the real world, a human as a battery, etc. This scene is cinema history. One of the finest moments of movie making.
