Cypher was a character that didn't get a lot of attention, but he was extremely important. He KNEW that everything was a simulation, yet he still wanted to be put back in, blissful and unaware. He wanted an easy, comfortable, fake life instead of having to deal with a difficult reality. I think many people in our world have this mindset.

Lots of guns." - Neo, still not getting it "No." - Neo gets it and deletes Smith Among the best progressions of "show not tell" I can think of.

While the Matrix may not be an exact equivalent of maya and Keanu Reeve's character Neo may not be a bodhisattava, the Wachowski brothers did deliberately incorporate aspects of Buddhism into their story because they believe that Buddhism has something to say to us about our world and how we conduct our lives. The quote you referenced is addressed in many teachings in Buddhism, regarding the nature of reality.

@@CrayCruz In one of the making ofs, I heard someone (camera man? fx specialist?) say they got inspiration from "Run, Lola run".

Like.. if you had folded a paper plan, enjoyed seeing how it flies.. and then you see a real plane or some majestic bird flying. Since I heard about this connection, I really love the Lola movie, though its nothing compared to the matrix, of course.

[@johnthorsson1515]

The concept of the Matrix is based off of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. A few things you might have missed: Morpheus asked Neo “you think that’s air you’re breathing?” Insinuating that he wasn’t, and if he wasn’t there was no need for Cypher to sneeze or cough. It was just to give away their position. The Oracle told Neo that he was waiting “for another life.” He only became the one after dying.”

[@IrvingM]

Stephen Colbert: "What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?" (audience laughs) Keanu Reeves: (he takes a deep breath) "I know that the ones who love us, will miss us." (audience wasn't expecting an amazing answer)

[@CrayCruz]

Yeah dude, perfect fucking answer. Keanu is a Zen Master. Would love to see him in Star Wars as a Jedi Master.

[@ArcaneWorkshop]

It was an answer of avoidance. Keanu is very private, and Stephen was attempting to unravel the enigma that is Keanu Reeves, but he was thwarted. Keanu can dodge contentious questions like Neo can dodge bullets. Thus, the mystery man remains a mystery.

[@MasterBetty69]

@@ArcaneWorkshop ... no? It wasn't an answer of avoidance, it was a no bs answer about grasping or understanding loss. Watch the entire interview. Colbert was just being witty & expecting a witty answer. Keanu just caught him & the audience off guard, especially Colbert, given that both he & Keanu have gone through traumatic experiences (Colbert lost his father & two brothers in a plane crash when he was only 10 years old & Keanu's girlfriend delivered their baby stillborn & a year later she died in a car crash). That's why Colbert simply shook his hand & went on with.

Then later Morpheus tells Neo about the One who bent the rules of the Matrix to his will. "you're my personal savior, my Jesus Christ. You've got to unplug." "Follow the white rabbit" Neo to the dude at the door: "Remember if you get caught..." Young dude: "Yeah, I know you don't exist." His room number is 101, which binary code. So much information is passed on in those couple of minutes, that, at first and second viewings in the theater, went completely over my head. It took several more viewings at home until I got it. Such a fantastic film.

Plus, just making a force field wouldn't work. It's too far out. Your mind has to believe it. Remember that first rooftop jump Morpheus makes, Neo doesn't make it all the way across? Because his mind couldn't accept that he could jump that far. By the end when he fully believes it's a simulation, then he can do so much more. I be you as they do these extraordinary things within the matrix, they are constantly fighting thier mind's attempt to revert to what would be normal, or doable if the world was real.

The Matrix raises lots of existential questions such as “what is the nature of reality?”, and “will creating the singularity lead to the inevitable destruction of humans”, and “what does make one noodle place better than the other?”. Questions we may never have the answers to.

To be honest I think the first two questions may be answered someday in a distant future. I have no hope fore the third one though, this will forever stay a mystery :)

The philosophical aspect is what makes it my favorite. I had been reading & thinking about many of these topics in college when I went to the theater to see this. Walking out, I truly felt skepticism in a palpable, tangible way-as opposed to purely intellectual- for the first time everything around me was completely up for question.

[@asmariamoon]

What I love about The Matrix is how much there is if you dig deeper into the meaning behind it. For instance, my favorite line is from the Oracle, when after Neo knocks over the vase she told him not to worry about, she says, "What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?" This does two things. First, it indicates that her prophecies are very much real. Second, it hints at how she likes to operate, subtly twisting the fates of those around her into the optimal position for her desired outcome.

I think the part where the Oracle tells him "not too bright though" when he asks who likes him is one of my favorite moments in the movie. I didn't expect the Oracle to have that kind of sense of humor. The way Gloria Foster says line helps too. She's not mocking him, or sounding disappointed in him. She's just evaluating him, adding that to her list of Neo's skills and stats. Neo apparently didn't put enough points into Intelligence.
