The Matrix (1999) Movie REACTION!!! (Part 1)

[@metoo7557]

this is the movie the pioneered that 'camera work', and it was imitated in dozens if not hundreds of produced content since.

[@StonayBalogna]

Not true it was actually used in a commercial once before this film

[@maxwellalexander2962]

@@StonayBalogna Define pioneer and apply the definitions to his use. Does bouts of bombastic lip flapping satisfy you that much? American education on par with favela children.

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Visual Effects. This movie blew me away in theaters when I was 9! It's the greatest Sci-fi Action movie ever made!

[@Dinkdownn]

I was 16 when it came out and after seeing it in theaters, I was never the same 😂 such an iconic movie.

[@juliocesarg.r.1238]

facts...

[@Nanology101]

There's a book called "Simulacra and Simulation" the cast had to read to fully understand what the movie was going to be about. It is also shown hallowed out when Neo retrieves the disc from it. The intro rooftop scene set was reused from the movie "The Crow."

[@nluna75]

I believe the movie was actually Dark City where the sets were reused.

[@DTec1978]

Saw this in a theatre back in '99 when I was about your age....this movie blew our minds....and it still holds up to this day

[@michaelbrown9301]

When this came out, no one had seen anything like this. This film changed the game.

[@nikki22yeo]

Keanu somehow ages backwards and forwards at the same time which reminds me that Mr Smith played Elrond in Lord of the Rings.

[@bpo1975]

The buzzcut and the beefed up physique probably made Keanu look older in SPEED than he did in this movie.

[@Dinkdownn]

The matrix is cinematic perfection 🥰

[@juliocesarg.r.1238]

damn right

[@alexsclewis]

top two fav trilogies

[@Jeremy-rd3bo]

It's funny you mentioned "Nightmare on Elm Street", the guy who plays Morphius was actually in "Nightmare on Elm Street 3"

[@MovieFusion]

I've seen that movie like a million times and I JUST now realize that was him in it LMAO

[@archangeljmj6008]

I love how Switch says "Listen, copper top" Lol awesome

[@phj223]

This movie is actually more of a trip today than it was when it came out. I watched it in a theater in 1999, and the whole concept of The Matrix seemed a bit far-fetched, Internet was just becoming a thing, EverQuest had just been released the same year, A.I. technology was still pretty far off the mark (I think the best chess players could still beat the computers?), and so on. Now, it's completely different story, computer graphics and CGI are starting to blend with reality, all your devices are connected, not only can A.I. easily beat the best chess players, but it can learn itself to play chess better than all the chess engines out there, and you have these crazy people at Boston Dynamics creating increasingly scary robots..

[@IvanIvanov-ro1vh]

Good call.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

The question people have about whether they'd be the guy to take the blue pill or the red pill... neither is actually the correct answer. When a bunch of strange, leather-clad hipsters that you just met take you to a dark, abandoned building, and offer you a weird selection of mystery drugs... you should say "No, thanks", and promptly leave.

[@ironsaaron57]

This guy is sooooo good looking

[@flibber123]

I read somewhere that the original use the machines were going to have for humans was as part of a neural network, AI using human brains for computing power. But apparently back then they thought audiences wouldn't understand a neural network concept so it was changed to batteries. I think that was a smart move in 1999. Some people complain that it would cost more in energy keeping a person alive than you would get out of them in electricity but for the purposes of a movie I think most people don't care about that.

[@paratus04]

When we saw it in 99 we thought the battery thing was stupid then. Human brains as a network made more sense.

[@crimsonhunter7598]

Matrix? Woah.

[@LJMiho]

Give yourself a treat and make sure you watch *_The Animatrix_* BEFORE jumping on to *_The Matrix: Reloaded_* and *_The Matrix: Revolutions._* *_The Animatrix_* is an official part of *_The Matrix_* franchise and is best watched in-between the 1st and 2nd movie of the Trilogy, and it helps bridge the gap between the two much better. If you could, I would love to see your reaction to *_The Animatrix._*

[@belac.howard8295]

Even though I've seen Keanu Reeves movies before I saw this, this is the movie that made me love him as an actor, And then John Wick

[@WriterusAeternus]

The Matrix in 1999 was what Star Wars was in 1977. Game changer

[@krono5el]

Rage Against the Machine

[@glennwelsh9784]

Keanu Reeves, Carrie Ann Moss, Lawrence Fishburne, and Hugo Weaving were trained in kung fu by Hong Kong stunt coordinators for four months because the Watchowski sisters wanted the audience to be able to see the actors doing the fight scenes themselves. This was practically unheard of before The Matrix, as most Hollywood film studios opted to merely swap out the actors with stunt performers during fight scenes and used camera tricks like quick cuts and extremely wide shots to hide it (or they hired actors who already knew martial arts, though with mixed-to-poor results since not all martial artists just happen to also be good at acting). But after The Matrix's success, more and more studios began having their actors extensively train in fight choreography during preproduction so they could perform their own fight scenes.

[@orlandostock7440]

The Matrix changed movie history !

[@freepalestinanow]

he reminds me of my cute teacher

[@chrisleebowers]

"Is this where the red pill/blue pill come from?" This is where the BLUE pill is from. There was a red pill in Total Recall

[@Narutoanime16g]

I was born the year this came out and 1999 was a good year for lots of classic films I’ve found especially movies with Tom Hanks around this time

[@phillipchoate550]

have u yet to see hereditary? love that you're coming across these classic twist films. sunset boule is a great one

[@spiderfingers86]

Directed by the Wachowskis starring Keanu Reeves, Carey Ann Moss, and Lawrence Fishburne

[@archangeljmj6008]

Regular people watching the matrix: "DUDE WTF IS GOING ON?????" Shadowrunner deckers: "Hold my beer"

[@matsv201]

Matrix is based on a few othrr movies and a short story o cant remeber the name of. But if you want to se one of the movies thst had the most impact, i could recomend Ghost in the shell

[@omegapsi847]

11:34 That is true, the Matrix producer were themselves inspired by the Anime Ghost in the Shell from 1995. Just like many people being blown away by watching Matrix, the Wachowski Brothers back then were blown away by Ghost in the Shell and developed a similar concept, creating their own movie. They even copied the intro from the Anime into Matrix with the whole green coding style, it is amazhing how many similarities there are, yet Matrix keeps its own plot and concept

[@MrInuhanyou123]

Ghost in the shell 95 and the matrix are two of the best movies of all time definately

[@crimsonhunter7598]

Would be great if neo was in injustice 3 And there should be prequels about trinity and morpheus

[@pablom-f8762]

Forgive my rudeness but someone has to say it... "The 13th Warrior" reaction has to happen

[@athens_1psvr31]

Deep Cover- Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldbloom. Undercover cop movie.

[@metoo7557]

Yes this is where the red pill/blue pill comes from.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Loving your reactions. Reminds me of myself when I watched it for the first time.

[@bryantguerrero5914]

Bro you gotta react to reloaded and revolution too I love this movie perhaps the best action trilogy ever in my opinion

[@jonathanpowell7256]

Check out the movies Dark City & The 13th floor which both use similar concepts to The Matrix in their stories.

[@Saalome84Blue]

...take the RED PILL... If you watched Total Recall (1990) there is a red pill scene, which is probably the inspiration for red pill in Matrix...

[@mikemath9508]

Give me 90 minutes of a movie that feels like when keanu says "I know kung fu" with that exhilaration

[@seanstoutgamer]

ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES!!!!!!!!

[@edjoultz9678]

14:08 so adorable!

[@spiderfingers86]

Agent Smith is played by Hugo Weaving

[@maxwellalexander2962]

9:35 since you watched all these, I can safely tell you that's what they thought as the free people. But as you learned, this happened before Zion rose and fell multiple times. So for all they know it could be 2800s or something.

[@derworfnet]

As far as I know, the main inspiration for this Movie was Anime. "Ghost in the Shell" from 1995 for example.

[@j.gyamayaka5826]

Perception is a funny thing.. In the beginning my instincts told me that the agents were somehow the bad guys lol Either that or they didn't have good intentions..

[@morbid1.]

you would think that people living in 2021 with current technology would react quite naturally to matrix like it's not that fantastical like it was 22 years ago... wow i just hit me how old I am... I saw matrix in cinema.

[@mikemath9508]

I'm a computa stop all da downloadin

[@StCerberusEngel]

So, gonna throw you a recommendation for Ghost in the Shell (1995). This movie took a lot of inspiration from GITS, among other things.

[@stevenhunter5396]

Watch them all

[@edjoultz9678]

you definitely work out!

[@rogerlynch5279]

12>04 INSPIRED MOVIES... very intelligently phrased, I have to give you this. The point is those materials are based on some Expressionistic Comics done since the Sixties and Seventies mostly Belgium and French in Origin. Even so the MATRIX is stll tame to what else those European and Europan influenced authors have done like THE VALERIAN movie from Luc Besson like LUCY, THE FIFTH ELEMENT, LEON THE KILLER, LA FEMME NIKITA, VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF THOUSAND PLANETS and so on or even the movie XIII

[@UnorthodoxCreature]

U should react to rampage

Watch the sequels, not as great as 1st one, but still fun ones. Also The Animatrix, lore is explained there

[@axelstone3131]

The Wachowski brothers are now the Wachowski sisters 🤦‍♂️

[@dene39]

Watch The Movie And React. Why do younger reactors continually try to predict where its going?

[@MovieFusion]

For reaction videos, to keep it interesting so I'm not literally sitting there looking at a screen for 2 hours without talking, we like to discuss our thoughts and questions on what's going on at that point in the film.

[@dene39]

@@MovieFusion In no way am I suggesting that you sit mute. But you seem to spend more time predicting things that get explained 5 mins after if you just watched. React to what you're seeing is what I'm getting at. Not what you think is going to happen. Only my opinion. No malice intended.

[@MovieFusion]

@@dene39 I appreciate the suggestion, I get what you mean but I feel as though many enjoy hearing my thought process on the film as it goes a long.

@@MovieFusion I'm among them. Was just an observation.

Geez man there’s so many films you haven’t seen I’m guessing you can’t be any older than 20?

[@MovieFusion]

I'm 20. I know people older than me who haven't seen a lot of movies as well. There's just so many out there and we all have different preferences of what we normally like to watch, some people don't watch movies at all. I've just never felt the motivation to watch all of these until this past year when I've been getting into movies a lot more. Before that I only really checked out a select few franchises or movies.

[@jesselester9722]

[@axelstone3131]

@@MovieFusion I feel you. The matrix came out when I was in secondary school/high school so it was all the rage back then. Grew up with Stallone and Arnold, Jurassic park, terminator, robocop, enter the dragon, the matrix etc. All those sort of movies.

i just realised the matrix is actually similar to Tron and Johnny mnemonic. The Wachowskis added religion and mysticism.

[@richnorcal]

This is a tremendous series, there's no way someone can just watch one, you must watch all and watch in order..yes they are filming Part IV right now, personally II is my favorite but like them all, hope you react to all three...Um just gotta say, you look amazing in a tank top
