THE MATRIX (1999) MOVIE REACTION* THIS WAS EPIC!!

[@mayorjimmy]

Keanu took back-end money as part of his contract and ended up clearing $75 million from this movie. He gave $1 million to each member off the production crew because he knew without them this movie wouldn't have worked. We don't deserve Keanu.

[@JnEricsonx]

And then his stunt guy directed John Wick and the rest is history.

[@jeffstacy6636]

You want to know another funny FACT about this movie? Did you know Keanu Reeves wasnt their first choice to play Neo (TheOne) in the Matrix? They originally offered the Role to Will Smith, but he turned it down. So they went with Keanu Reeves instead. Just imagine how different this movie would of been with Will Smith in it. im so glad he turned them down. couldnt imagine anyone else playing the part of Neo.

[@jeffstacy6636]

There was only ONE error in this movie. When Cypher betrayed them all. The scene where he was talking to agent Smith. l mean how did he get to the meeting? he was the only one that betrayed the team. so who plugged him into the Matrix so he could enter the DreamWorld, and who disconnected him and brought him back to the ship after the meeting? l mean he couldnt of loaded himself into the Matrix for the meeting, and then bring himself out of it again.

[@manticore4952]

@@jeffstacy6636 I think he was remembering the meeting rather than being jacked out but it's ambiguous.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

@@jeffstacy6636 Of course he could jump in and out alone. All it would take is an electronic timer connected to a simple device set up to plug him up and unplug him at specific times. Remember in Jurassic Park where the programmer Dennis Nedry set up a program designed to open and shut doors, turn cameras off and on, and cloak his movements in a cascading and precise manner? He did that alone and it all worked perfectly except for him running off the road in that storm. So, Cypher could easily set this up on his shift and it would only span a few minutes. Heck, he could even have proximity warning devices set up to warn him if any of the crew was approaching. Why do you think Cypher was surprised to see Trinity picking up an extra night shift at the very beginning of the movie? He was probably sneaking around then, and she screwed up his plans.

[@hellowhat890]

The practical effects and CGI of these films still hold up pretty well compared to how much studios overuse CGI today in their movies.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Good effects continue to hold up despite the inevitable advancements in subsequent films. One simply takes into account when the movie was made. I was watching another reaction to this movie once and turned it off as soon as the reactor laughed at an effect and called it "cheesy."

The cgi in Reloaded looked like sh1t back in the day tho (I can't remember how they look in Revolutions)

Many actions films that came after this one tried to incorporate 'Matrix'-style stunts into them. Doesn't make them good though.

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Keanu Reeves had a back injury during filming but asked not to replace him with a stunt double as much as possible, so the fight choreographer rewrote his character to utilize fewer kicks in his fighting style and not exacerbate his recovert! That's dedication to your art!

[@hellowhat890]

The choreographer was Yuen Woo-Ping. He did Man of Tai Chi which Keanu was also in. He was stunt coordinator for Kill Bill 2. Also helped the stunt choreography for Kung Fu Hustle. Worked with Jet Li on several movies. And also is known for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Carrie Ann Moss jumped around on a broken leg for most of the filming as she broke it in a take of the lobby scene.

[@hellowhat890]

Funny behind the scenes story. When the directors originally wanted to film this movie, they wanted a budget of 100 million dollars. But Warner Bros only gave them about 11 million. So, they blew it all into the entire beginning of the movie with Trinity's introduction. When they showed that footage to the executives, they were greenlit the original budget requested. They wanted to see the entire movie as a finished product. XD

[@hellowhat890]

Edit: My bad, I got the number wrong. The directors wanted 80 million as their original budget. And were only given 10 million at the start of production. But were given the greenlight for the rest of the budget after they showed Trinity's opening sequence. Still rather impressive.

[@karmakaze87]

That's awesome. It's clear a lot of them didn't understand the script and that's why they were so hesitant to let new directors have such a huge budget.

For some context on Cypher's betrayal, there was a deleted scene where he tells Neo that there were five Chosen One candidates before Neo. There were five people that Morpheus plucked from the Matrix, convinced that they were the One, and died when they stood against agents.

[@ShadowyFox_86]

It definitely makes it make more sense. I always got the sense that Cypher was unhappy being freed from the Matrix. The lie was just too good not to be back in it. The deleted scene makes it both understandable and more reprehensible.

Is I’ve written elsewhere. Trinity broke her leg doing the first takes of that scene. She kept working on it throughout the movie because she was terrified of being fired if she told them that her ankle was broken. Isn’t that something.

[@enlightendbel]

Reason he is so good in action is because out of all actors, he puts in the most time to do it right. The man has more stunt, weapons and martial arts training than most stunt people.

[@hellowhat890]

I actually loved the actors' and their dedication to this movie. Notice how Keanu Reeves has very little high kicks in this movie. His choreography had to take into account that Keanu was in a neck brace for most of this movie. He was recovering from spine surgery. Hugo Weaving needed hip surgery after he accidentally overworked himself during the fight training he was doing for the movie. Even Carrie Anne Moss broke her ankle during filming. But she was terrified of being fired and recast by another actress so she kept it a secret and continued filming. Even goes to show how much Keanu was such a nice supportive person. When the second and third film was going through some tight budget situations, he funded the rest of the budget personally as needed.

Good trilogy to start Dev G! (Another great trilogy is Lord of the Rings) The matrix as a concept is one of the best and most likely theory of reality itself because we have evidence of such a beginning through our own technological advances. Arthur C. Clarke wrote it best: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I only recently came to fully understand "There is no spoon." The spoon is just computer code. Bending the spoon is just altering the code. On a smaller scale, it's the jumps. It's also exactly what Morpheus tells Neo about bullets. He won't have to dodge them, because he can alter the code so they never hit him to begin with.

[@gatzad]

Dude, you are smart. On your first view of this movie, you figured out that the Oracle was saying that Neo could be the One, but wasn’t currently…rather than ‘Neo, you’re not the one’.

Man, I've been WAITING for you to react to one of my favorite movies! Awesome!

[@Flurbskating]

Captain here. No spoilers, this was all explained in the first movie, but it is hard to catch everything. The humans created Artificial intelligence. It became self aware and decided humans no longer were needed. This led to a war which all but exterminated humanity. Humans fought back by extinguishing the suns rays with the clouds (somehow), so the machines now needed to find a new source of energy. They then captured and started growing humans in order to power themselves (which doesn't really make sense... but w/e its a sci-fi movie). The humans were dying because their minds were not stimulated in the right way, so the machines created 'The Matrix' which is a simulation to keep the humans minds functioning while they are in their tube (They explain this further in later films so I won't spoil that). There are still humans that are alive in the real world in an underground city called 'Zion' which is mentioned a few times in this movie. The 'Agents' are just a program in the matrix that provide security for the machines, their purpose (to my understanding) is to capture, kill, and/or interrogate any humans that have become aware of the matrix-- or inserted themselves into the matrix like Neo , Trinity etc. Their mission in this movie is trying to get the security codes to Zion, because the machines are still trying to exterminate the remaining humans in the real world. The story continues.... *Flys away*

[@Thane36425]

I've heard that originally people weren't a power source, but the machines were using the human brains as living computers. That is to say, the brain was smaller than computers of the same processing power and used less energy, etc., so the idea of having computers control brains and using them that way isn't new. It certainly makes a lot more sense than using people as a power source since that would be highly inefficient, especially since the machines have "a kind of fusion". But it was thought that the audience wouldn't be able to underrstand that, so the coppertop idea was used instead.

[@stanmann356]

I agree the copper top plot makes no sense, because it would require more energy to maintain the human body than would be produced. I think a better story would have been that the matrix was set up by an alien race to harvest chemicals from the human brains, chemicals only produced if the brain was happy and healthy. It could have been an automatic system run by machines and the aliens only show up every hundred years or so to collect what was in the storage tanks

@@stanmann356 Humans are energy consumers not generators. The machines would be better off burning the crops to power steam plants than feeding humans.

I remember this one coming out. Saw it opening week, theater was dead. After a couple weeks it blew up. Couldn't get tickets months later. Was always sold out on the weekends. Real sleeper hit. Changed so much about fight choreography and filming (the whole slow mo sweep around). Not to mention bringing Keanu back into the movie spotlight when people still only knew him for things like Speed and Bill & Ted. Also the answer that early question it's about 25-30 feet across a city two lane from rooftop to rooftop. City lanes are usually about 10 or 11 feet across and the simulated jump where he face plants is only a single back alley style lane, small to train on I guess. Either way this one was a huge sleeper of a blockbuster. 63 million for a budget and they pop out 8 times that and 2 more follow up movies, an anime set, and now a 4th one, not to mention the games, merc, and making a number of things from the movies into their own culture style.
