THE MATRIX (1999) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING! AMAZING!

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

We hope you enjoy this Reaction Video. Apologies if it's too long (but you can always skip through), but we felt the power of this film justified it. It's more detailed than other reaction videos of this film and we integrated more clips than usual so you can see the scenes we are referencing. We also did a proper sound mix and image quality control of the final output. As a result it took a while to edit and upload (in 4K!). We hope you think it's worth it. This is truly a very important film!

[@blizzunt420e]

Keep up the great work fellas I love hanging out and watching a movie with you guys.. But I think you’re Son is perfectly capable of watching rated R movies with no problem you’re there with him to keep everything in context think it would be bad if he was watching them on his own not understanding, but since you two are watching them together, I don’t think there’s any issue aside from movies with pornographic imagery. You should actually show him the movie Waterworld that’s a great adventure

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes we think there are some films rated R that are ok. Part of this journey is to help with film language to prepare for some of those classics. @@blizzunt420e

[@Purple_Buffalo]

The length was perfect. Do that woth the LOTR trilogy! The sound mixing was much appreciated. It actually came to mind how well it was done as it tends to be a problem with others.

[@intheory32]

Can we see a reaction to the sequel?

[@rudigerk]

At the beginning, the Episode when Neo sees the white rabbit, before that he asks "Do you sometimes have that feeling if your awake or still dreaming?". This is actually taken from the Ashtavakra Gita, an old Hindu Scripture where the King Janaka is awakening from a nightmar, in which he lost his Kingdom after a War. After that he woke up he is constantly asking "Is this true or is that true?" Is the waking World true or the Dream true. Then he meets the wise Sage Ashtavakra who tells him, that neither the waking World is true nor the Dream World, but Janaka's true Self, the Experiencer who experienced both waking and Dream, is the only Truth. The Idea, that we are trapped in some kind of Simulation is very old, it's actually one of the foundational philosophical Ideas of Hinduism. Adi Shankaracharya, who was a very important indian Philospher called it a Process of Superimposition. Mistaking Reality as something false. The classic Example given is that of a Rope and a Snake. In the semi-darkness you see something on the Ground and get the false impression it is a Snake, when in Reality it is a Rope. If you want to know more about all this, check out this Video: Swami Sarvapriyananda - Vedanta in five Parables. Best Regards

[@080gina080]

When I introduced the Matrix to my kids I first had to explain how in the early 90s we were still using our wall phones and dialing up to connect to the internet and how they did that in the film.

[@House0fHoot]

The Oracle didn’t actually tell Neo he wasn’t the ‘One’. Neo actually said it 🍪

[@0okamino]

Right. She phrases it in a way that makes it seem like she’s confirming what he says, however, what she’s telling him is that he can be The One, but he doesn’t seem ready to accept that (“waiting for something”).

[@Noksivs]

She said "not in this life"... He became the one after he died.

[@Raurus_Aran]

exactly, because probably, his dead was needed to activate the "the one" program that was installed in his brain, which alowed him to control the matrix like he did in the end of the movie@@Noksivs

[@Sarumonin]

Even crazier when Neo accepts the cookies, much like accepting cookies on a website 👀

[@doomburger8433]

He said, "I'm not the one" and she replied, "Sorry". I took that to be her saying sorry about his desire to not be the one not being the truth. like, "So I'm not the one, right?" "Sorry kid, you are". And then the whole waiting, another life stuff too

[@bonbonpony]

Staffylover-85 Did you read the book though? I, for example, loved the book, but I'm not a fan of the movies either, because they somehow managed to make the whole story extremely boring. Probably because they were more interested in showing off vfx than storytelling.

[@MoominDoogie]

I'm impressed with how quickly your lad picked up the basic concept of the matrix. He's a smart boy 👍 I was 18 when I first saw this in the cinema and have to confess, I needed a couple of watches on DVD later to fully grasp what was going on.

[@SamBorgman]

True, I was about 25 when this came out. I needed few watches to really get the idea. I think a lot of that had to do with the times. Nothing like this was done before and it was so mind blowing that at first watch all you did was be awed at the action. Paying attention to the story wasn't even a priority on first watch. Now most of the action is overused. And some really good reactors can predict a lot on first watch. I'm pretty sure some of them have watched it before though lol. But they definitely understand the plot lot better. This is also because the idea of AI simulated reality is so common now. Anyone on the internet knows about it. Back then it was a whole new revelation.

That was outstanding, and I really enjoyed watching you guys watch it! Now you must watch the matrix two and three together! 💙💙💙

[@Purple_Buffalo]

- Did you guys notice the "traitor" was one of the "Fratelli borthers" in GOONIES? - During the rescue scene, the gaurds were not programs. They represented real poeple which is why Neo and Trinity could out manuever and shoot them. - Neo wasn't flexing. It was quick, but he picked up an M-16 in the most efficient way possible. And the low angle shooting was to make it more difficult for the enemy to get a head shot. There is a "duck/stand/duck" technique when playing any multiplayer games that seems to apply here. - They can only summon in things inside the "Construct". Which is the loading program before entering the Matrix.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

oh yes!

[@0okamino]

Francis “I don’t wear a hair piece!” Fratelli. Good ol’ Joey Pants.

[@thesprawl2361]

He was also in Bound, the Wachowski's previous film, and he was one of the most important characters in season four of The Sopranos, arguably its best season.

[@bloatus7611]

His suggestion that the Matrix should have auto-aim is a nice one! And a good demonstration of how far the understanding computers has come in 25 years.

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

The people can't have auto aim. The Matrix is built on a set of rules that mimic the real world. Smith even said the first Matrix was built to be a perfect human world but the system crashed because humanity isn't perfect. So it had to be designed to what our world actually is. If normal people broke those rules, the system would crash. The cops that were shooting at Neo and Trinity in the building were still humans plugged into the system, not programs. This is why the agents were able to take them over. Only the sentient programs (agents) can bend the rules, even they can't break them like Neo can.

[@miraichampion3366]

I'm so glad i stumbled on this channel; wholesome. solid interactions with you guys, smart kid too. Watching more mature films with a parent who can provide context etc is a perfect way for them to grow and understand imo.

[@tomm9789]

Im sure someone has already said this but props to you for introducing your boy to this kind of material. Think a lot of parents these days are so afraid of doing this to "protect" their kids but they actually end up doing the opposite by denying their kids from learning how to understand mature content. Even better that you did it with him to help him understand this type of content to guide his experience. Very cool dad and very on to it kid. All the best!

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Thank you so much, we are about to start a series of action films where we allow the maturity level to be nudged slightly higher. Nothing wild or gratuitous gory but just a little nudge in that direction. We would rather he sees this stuff in safe/secure setting than in a out of context way at a friends house or similar

[@tomm9789]

@@GenerationMediaReaction ​ I think it doesn't really matter what the content is if you are watching it with him. I don't know if you guys do this already, but I was gonna say, does he pick the shows? If not, it would be interesting to see what he's keen to watch, maybe based on a list you provide. Like what title or trailer intrigues him the most, and then you can kinda see where his tastes lie and follow that theme or genre for a bit. Regardless of how you two do it, I think what you are doing is a really cool way to spend time with each other.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

@@tomm9789 We do a bit of everything to be honest, sometimes i show him trailers and gauge what he likes the most and sometimes he says something to me during the week and i think i will surprise him etc. Right now for example, we discussed going down the Monsterverse route for a couple of films, doing the Star Wars prequels, or doing Action 80s/90s films... There's a lot to cover!

[@tomm9789]

@@GenerationMediaReaction Yeah that's cool. I suppose I was really interested to see what a kid like him goes for in a movie sense. Feel like growing up in the 90s we were maybe a bit more hard wired to watch movies etc at theaters or on TV so I always ponder how young kids go to for their movie fix. Sometimes when I was young you only had a couple channels playing movies so you were kinda forced to watch what ever was on, sometimes a classic sometimes not lol. But yeah you guys have a shit ton to choose from haha, will follow along to see where you guys get to :)

[@tedshep]

Your son may enjoy The Animatrix. It’s better than the other sequels and expands the Matrix universe.

[@commonstragedy]

It's absolutely better than the sequels. Nearly equal to the original!

[@Purple_Buffalo]

Please consider MASTER AND COMMANDER. There’s a kid in the film about your son’s age that ends up captaining a battleship during a pirate battle. It’s also a Peter Weir masterpiece.

[@adamn7516]

Yes I think this is a great film for him. It takes some historical liberties but its a great historical drama. Also Blakely doesn't captain the ship but he is given a level of control of the men on the cannon battery during the attack of the Acheron.

[@ChrisMikaitis]

Really respect how you are handling this with your kid. Thanks for how you are molding the future.

[@DanJackson1977]

There' been a lot of chatter on social media whether or not this film is still relevant becuase many people under 20 years old havent seen or heard of this movie, despite how big and influential it was in 1999 (reasons given "kids don't know what flip phones are", "the computer stuff is outdated", "the Gen X philosphy is irrelevant", etc). But what I've always said is.. any movie or band or whatever can be "relevant" if a parent can take the time to properly introduce their kid to it and give them context... and that's what you're doing. So, good work... you're doing it right.

Watching The Matrix a number of times and it's amazing how much they fit into the movie, everything is purposeful and deliberate. There wasn't anything else they could possibly cut and still keep the cohesive story.

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

At the end, Neo was talking to the source (the machine mainframe), telling it he can feel it and a new beginning is coming. Neo is also an anagram for One. (Side note for the dad) If you're going to watch the second movie, there's a scene in it not intended for younger viewers🙈

the movie is chock-full of amazing visual moments, but one that always stuck with me is the realtime shot of the minigun ripping across the couch and catching Smith, its just enough to let you appreciate just how destructive and immediate Neo's helicopter ambush was.

[@pauldryburgh6346]

So many easter eggs indeed. My favourite was Neo's fake Baudrillard book Simulacra and Simulation (opened at the chapter 'on nihilism', though not the same placement as reality), where he gives Choi the disk. Choi answers Neo about distinguishing dreaming or awake with mescaline. Fair enough. I would have loved DMT to have been the reference though. A must try for every adult human in my opinion. The most awe inspiring and humbling experience one can have, echoed by so many, not just my experiences. Glad you both enjoyed, as did I. Be well one and all.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

The Oracle didn't tell Neo he wasn't the one. She let him tell her what he thought and then she said she was sorry and she hated breaking bad news to good people. This is a problem with the way most people think. They jump to conclusions and assume things too much. The Oracle used this because she knew he wouldn't "level up" until he becomes the one by choice and knowledge of his abilities. At least, this is my interpretation of it after rolling it around in my head for a couple decades. :D

[@malcolmdrake6137]

She told him, specifically, that he was Not the one. People have trouble accepting this, so they make a different story in their mind, so they can accept it...😂😂

[@donaldseale2700]

@@malcolmdrake6137 Actually, Neo said that he wasn't the One and she said, "sorry kid, you have the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something". She never specifically said that he wasn't the One. When he asked what he was waiting for, she said "maybe your next life". He became the One after he died, so he was on his next life.

[@PorterJustPorter]

she gave him a cookie. What is a "cookie" in computer language?

[@ringod123]

Everything the Oracle said was literal. He was not the one until his "next life", one of them had to die etc etc. Neo dies and comes back to life as the one. Funny you talk about assumptions as Morpheus' is wrong, but as the Oracle explained, he is blind to this, but yet you were willing to take Morpheus at his word instead of the Oracles......

[@TurinTurambar-ho3qo]

Oracle said literally what will happen

[@CharlesVanNoland]

The movie focusing on the window cleaners is apparently a reference to Neo rubbing the sides of his tub/capsule IRL, he keeps looking at the window cleaners while his boss is chewing him out, and it symbolizes him trying to break free of the Matrix.

Something that the movie sort of glosses over... they mention it during the training sessions... that each human linked into the Matrix is a danger to them (Neo, Trinity, Morpheus...) Not only because they could shoot the Freedom Fighters in the Matrix - killing them in the real world, but also because the Linked Humans can be taken over by Agents, becoming vastly more deadly. But yeah... everyone in the Matrix that's killed is actually dying for real in their little battery pod. The body can't live without the mind.

Boss when yer 44 and want yer kid to love and respect the movies we loved there's nothing better 😊 born 1980 and we had it the best 👌

[@chrisgertz8250]

Excellent review. Your son is very perceptive. This movie is more relevant today than it was in 1999. Timeless for sure. Hope you continue with the rest of them. Rumor has it there is a Matrix 5 on the way.

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Thank you kindly!

[@YorkshiremanReacts26]

Matrix 5? Oh please no! For fu*k sake! 😭

As a father of a 3yr old, he seems like he's the perfect age to watch The Matrix for the first time! It's a little "too old", but in a way that expands his horizons instead of being a negative

[@GenerationMediaReaction]

Yes and also before her found out too much of the film from others

[@3DJapan]

Ever notice that Neo is an anagram for One?

[@0okamino]

Lloyd Christmas didn’t. He was stuck trying to figure out The. 😉

[@KwisatzHaderach77]

Wish I woulda raised my kid like this. Good job.

[@justusbraz]

Oh fun! I remember showing my kids this movie for the first time!

[@krono5el]

When i was the kids age i was deeply into everything the matrix references and takes influence from. so when years later grown up seeing the matrix opening night was so fun and felt made just for me : D

A great intoduction to very complex philosophical concepts. I'd love to watch father, son and maybe grandkids, revisit this film in another 20 years, I wonder where the world will be with AI two decades on. 1:06:45 This is lovely, both of you so happy to see Neo starting to believe in himself.

I believe that Agent Smith was played by a British actor who needed to adapt to having an American accent… truly an amazing actor. Correct me if I’m mistaken.

the Lobby Shootout was done on Beginner Difficulty - also Just a Scratch.... someone needs to watch HOLY GRAIL
