Revolutions is hard to analyze. In a recent interview, the Wachowskis admitted that Revolutions is supposed to make the audience make up their own meaning/interpretation of the events of the film. They said Part 1 is showing the hero myth. Part 2 is the deconstruction of that myth. And 3 is...what I wrote before. In a way, it's an art film. Very ballsy of them to make the climactic chapter of a mainstream film trilogy so differently. I actually think it's a great film, culminating with the cool idea of Neo fighting for peace, instead of absolute victory.

As much as this movie shouted "meh", the Twins were easily the coolest thing about this movie. That 5 second fight between them and Morpheus in the parking garage was brilliant, as short as it was. The choreography is brilliant with their incorporeal abilities. Watch it again, it's honestly awesome.

this video proves that the matrix sequels are underrated. everyone hates on them because they are not like the first film but they are just as deep as the first matrix.

But 101 in binary is the number 5 in base 10. It is not 6! You could argue your point is still valid, since in computers you start counting from 0, like in arrays or sets. The sixth version of the Matrix would be saved in an array at index 5 like Matrix[5]. This way it's still working out.

[@criztu]

Read Nietzsche's Master-Slave morality. The morality of the Master expresses the need of the Master to exploit the Slave, by deeming the Slave as "evil". By seeing the Slave as "evil", the Master eliminates the psychological burden of exploiting his keen. Since the Slave is "evil", the Master does not identify with him, so he can exploit him. By brainwashing the Slave with the idea that he is inherently "evil", the Master also keeps the Slave busy trying to overcome his own nature, instead of finding ways to rebel against the Master. This is the alienation from the self. By concluding that his natural self is inherently "evil", the Slave will try to deny his self, which leads to self-destruction, ultimately. The more the Slave tries to be "good", the more he self-destructs, which ideally frees the Master's resources that would otherwise be spent on keeping the Slave in his place. Matrix the movie, is the expression of the ruling class, of the Master, of the Bourgeois. Agent Smith is the "evil self", that Neo has to defeat, to be "good". The Cinema is a sophisticated institution of propaganda and social engineering, through which the Master programs the Slave into the same state of mind as through the Church, but more efficiently. Whereas the Church had the written word, the still image, the sculpture and the architecture, the Cinema has all that, and on top of that, it has motion.

[@Longchef]

+criztu Interesting analysis. I have a question for you: do you have any thoughts that are your own? Please do not be insulted by this question. It is not meant to be an insult. Instead, it is meant to trigger the act of looking inside yourself to find your own true thoughts. It is easy to quote other people who have philosophized about reality and the nature of (human) existence. What have you found on your own journey? I am interested in that. If you want to tell me (and others)more of what Nietzsche said, I won't want to hear it. He is dead and gone, while you are still here. What have you discovered?

[@criztu]

+Longchef I quoted Nietzsche (master-slave morality) and Marx (alienation from the self) to provide whomever may read my comment, with references, to expand their understanding of the subject - Cinema as an institution of social programming - which is a contemporary phenomenon, and there are works on the matter, but I can't reference the authors, since their works haven't reached notoriety. You might want to check Christopher Knowles - Our Gods Wear Spandex - it's about the modern superhero culture, which replace the Christian Superhero - Jesus You might be familiar with the saying "reinventing the wheel" - basically, I've figured these things out "on my own" without reading Nietzsche or Marx, and then I came across their works, where I could read the same stuff in a more structured and systematic manner. Knowledge is a holarchy. Me figuring out stuff "on my own" in 2015, is actually assembling the boxes of knowledge of dudes like Nietzsche and Marx and Hume and Hegel and Freud, that was fed into my system by our contemporary culture. One must be seriously troubled to expect to re-discover stuff that the entire mankind discovered over thousands of years, on his own. What a sane man can wish, is to develop upon the foundation laid by his forerunners. If you are referring to this kind of discoveries, upon the discoveries of those before us, I have one such little discovery to share with you: we are all copies of ONE entity, copies that are being combined and sent into the universe to evolve and recombine in trillions of variations, until the perfect ONE arises. Omnipotent. But then again, this idea has already been rudimentary intuited by Nietzsche, who is indeed obsolete in that he didn't figure out the institution of the Church. Nietzche's idea, in a time when Darwin had just came up with his Evolutionary Theory, was that Life is an entity striving for omnipotence, infinite growth (Will to Power). Had he been more familiar with the theory of Evolution, he'd understood that God is this thing that we call the Consciousness, and Christianity calls the Soul, that is trying to evolve its vessels - us - to the point It will probably be able to get back into the realm it came from. It's most probably the 4th dimension. If you're familiar with the concept of the tesseract or the torus, it's pretty fucky, the concept that the Mind exists in a dimension contained in our universe, but which contains our universe. It's fucked up - watch Interestellar by Nolan. The tesseract unfortunately, the concept of the inside containing the outside which in turn contains the inside, has already been thought of, by other dudes. Because, if you realize what the tesseract is, all knowledge has already been discovered, because it's already inside the Mind. It might be new to you, who are awaking from the profane plane, and transgressing into the sacred plane, but the truth is already inside you, waiting to unfold.

[@Longchef]

+criztu Hello. You are giving me more of the same, in many more words. Here is a thought: they were all wrong. They were the eye trying to see itself, which is impossible. The eye can never see itself. Instead, they (and you) needed to look within, which is where the answers lie. And to look with a different eye, your own true eye which doesn't give you false images. I noticed you're looking down on me in your reply, assuming that I haven't explored the people you have mentioned. That suggests to me that you haven't learned how to recognize your own true thoughts and separate them from what you have learned in books. Here is another thought: the theory of evolution is dead wrong. It cannot be proved but only accepted as blind belief. It certainly does not explain in any way I can accept the, "origin of the species." I find a lot of what you are saying to be interesting. Thanks for sharing your "little" discovery with me. However, what if we are "copies" of many entities, instead of one? What if instead of being "copies" we are the entities themselves? What if our true purpose for being here in this place is to discover why we are in this place to begin with? What if knowledge (and the pursuit of it) is itself the problem? I will end here. I had no intention of entering into a debate with you. I am instead interested in things like your little discovery with the purpose of sharing what we have discovered with each other, thus fulfilling what I believe is part of our purpose for being here. I apologize if I came across in another way, than my intended way. What I made was a suggestion: question deeply what you hold to be absolutely true and self-evident. Find your own true thoughts, then use them to think for yourself. This is very difficult but also quite necessary.

101 is also the torture room in Orwell's 1984. Morpheus is being tortured in the hotel. I appreciate the binary analysis but I think the Wachowski's intended it to be another 1984 reference

[@jackpotsb3]

+jackpotsb3 I just realized that the clip with 101 was at the restaurant, not the lobby of the hotel. I still think it's a 1984 reference, just clearing that up

I love you, Earthling Cinema. These kind of jokes are what we all need more of.

[@aussj4link]

Wasn't that a big thing at the end of the 3rd movie? Where Neo beat out determinism and actually chose to do something? When Smith asked him why he kept getting back up, Neo said "Because I choose to." and this basically blew Smith's mind. Neo broke destiny.

[@alapalacasual]

I find it cool yet kinda saddening that all these cool things can be found in movies sometimes (things that the movie makers had to think about and put together themselves) yet the movie isn't always the best it can be. In other words, they put all the effort into secret messages most of their viewers won't notice instead of the story.

[@ldragon2515]

Wow, I just now realized how much more convoluted and pretentious the symbolism in Reloaded was. The thing about the original was that it was left open to interpretation. You could see it as both a telling of The New Testament, a take on Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Buddhist reincarnation, etc. Reloaded on the other hand is far less open. It has one specific message, and as a result, feels far less interesting. It also wouldn't have been a problem were it not for the fact that these themes are starting to completely take over the plot. While in the original, the symbolism was kept in the background, making it possible to simply enjoy the story first, and allowing for re-watch bonuses and analysis afterwards, in Reloaded, the themes and symbols are shoved to the front and center, like the writers were trying to yell the message into the audience's ear in case they didn't get it. Plus, it also starts to dictate how the characters act and how the story pans out, making it feel far less natural than before. Basically, it's Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo nine years earlier. And that's not even getting into Revolutions, which just magnifies all the above problems.

[@TuruTheBlack]

But it is open to interpretation. Neo and Morpheus say that we are led by choice rather than couse and effect. Thats what he sais to the Merovingian. Thats the anomaly, the power to chooce. Neo choose love intead of reset the matrix, not like all the others ones. Thats why it defys mathematics and the matrix itself. At least thats what i see

[@TuruTheBlack]

And in the Merovingian scene you can see the guy that is in train station in the trird one

[@frankystrings]

So basically...the system was designed as a mathematical viewmanship...a result of that came an anomaly . This anomaly has free will because there is an equal on the other side of the equation trying to balance it out. So if you say 3x+5 17. we know that we have to divide each side by 3...the dividing sign would be the agent because there is an equal dividing sign on the other side (the one) that teeters on both sides because their powers are used to balance it as a whole

[@happmacdonald]

I had noticed Gödel's incompleteness theorem by the time we hit the close of the first Matrix movie, but it's not something I ever expected to hear somebody on youtube bring up in this context. :O Hell, later I was half convinced that the problem was that I had read GEB only recently before seeing the movie, and that this was a "when you have a hammer all curiosities resemble nails" sort of deal.

[@wilddogspam]

The incompleteness theorem revolutionized the way we see knowledge, so I don't think your interpretation is unfounded. On the other hand, because the theorem itself is perceived by most people (in my experience) as too complex to even attempt to read and there's a general shallowness to the movie's philosophy, it's perhaps more likely that the general idea that all (formal) systems (complex enough to contain algebra ;p) are somehow flawed is the immediate inspiration, instead of drawing directly from Gödel's actual work. I still don't see a direct link to the theorem itself, given that completeness doesn't translate into anything as concrete as what's depicted in the movie, impacting knowledge we don't have, implying it may be inaccessible in a way, even guaranteeing some of it is. The unknowable aspect of the anomaly certainly hints at the idea, but incompleteness has to do with proof and that's where a direct comparison breaks. Thinking abou it, the Matrix feels more like an inconsistent system than an incomplete one, what with the "everything is possible" quality to it.

[@happmacdonald]

+wolfspam Well, while I haven't seen any analysis on it, I don't think anybody denies that there exist correlations between Gödel's theorem and the Church-Turing thesis. And the movie does contain the line: > What you must learn is that these rules are no different > than the rules of a computer system. > Some of them can be bent. > Others can be broken. Given another hour or so of steeping, what I took from this during the climax is that within the matroska dolls of simulated realities it is impossible to prevent unexpected causal links from seeping through the levels: leading even potentially mundane consequences from the innermost reality to start further chains and patterns of consequence that ring larger through the outermost manifestations of reality. Give it a hundred or so years of artificially intelligent dominion and you'll have built up some very uncanny channels of influence between parts of the system and certain rhythms in reality that don't superficially make an awful lot of sense. And while that may be a lot of gristle to chew on, the part where it relates to the incompleteness theorem is only the "impossible to prevent" part: the idea that you can never build a perfect or a perfectly secure "sandbox" within an automated formal system. Given sufficient room to perform algebra and potentially arbitrary levels of entropy (for example, RAM space multiplied by iterations of instructions) any intent from within the sandbox (a virus being a fine example) can see it's will done outside of the sandbox, even if only by transmitting it's influence through the inevitable outputs to the outer world or system that the sandbox must allow. F/E social engineering, or exploiting an uncleanable attack surface along the output pipeline.

[@wilddogspam]

+Happ MacDonald interesting analysis. I was thinking of the pure metamathematical side of the theorem, but I see what you mean on the computer science side (which fits a lot better with the movie anyway). If you don't mind me asking, are you a computer scientist out something like that? I ask because I'm a mathematician and
