This ending means so much more than people realize. It's about you, yourself, as an individual breaking thru the wall you've raised up for yourself and finally seeing your truest potential. You can do, feel, think so much more than you're led to believe. Its about beating anxiety, self doubt, and fear inside you keeping you from becoming the person you're are meant to be. It didn't need sequels or a continuation. In fact the movies that came after just strays further from the real message.

[@PatrickWardActor]

The way I see it there's two ways you can look at this ending. For the people who can't stand sequels, him saying "Showing a world without you" and "Where we go from here is the choice I leave to you" Can be interpreted as him speaking to the audience saying, where the story of The Matrix goes is left up to your imagination, you can think of the possibilities for yourself ... Or you could look at it as this is only the beginning of this story, of things to come, and that there are many hints towards where it all goes in the future films e.g. when it says WARNING: Carrier anomaly, Neo's life being the eventuality of an anomaly, and Smith talking about the matrix being redesigned to be a perfect world (In this movie). That's the genius of this ending, if you want to know where the story goes, then start speculating, if you don't like sequels then let your imagination fly. Thank you Wachowski's for giving the audience credit and letting us decide things for ourselves with our own interpretations of your story, you are truly genius film makers and talented Sci-Fi storytellers, with shit loads of style!

[@PatrickWardActor]

***** Oh yeah completely agree! :)

[@CreepyHandedMan]

They kind of had to make this sort of ending, they wanted to make a trilogy but would have had to stop there hadn't the first movie worked so well. It offers good closure if they can't make sequels, but also serves as a good transition to the other movies. It's like Star Wars : A New Hope. The Death Star is destroyed and the rebels win this battle, there's the ceremony at the end and everyone's happy. The whole thing could end right there if there's no money to keep it going. But Luke still isn't a jedi, The Empire is still omnipresent, Vader and Sidious are alive and well, the rebels are still repressed. These open endings are compulsory for directors who wish to make a series of movies but can't say if finances will follow, to stop whenever they need to stop if they really have to. Peter Jackson is the only director I know of who actually signed a contract for 3 consecutive big budget movies which is why LOTR endings in the first 2 movies don't resolve anything and only hint at how the story will progress.

[@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYou]

Patrick Ward That's actually a cool way to interpret the ending.

[@killerfrank8974]

Your comment goes to show that this movie could have unlimited interpretations, even about the continuation of the film series itself.

[@DF-ss5ep]

I interpreted it in a different way. He's talking to the matrix. He's saying that when he puts down the phone, he's going to reveal to the world that the matrix exists, and he does that by flying in public. It is up to the machines to respond to that, maybe they can negotiate. The green text is supposed to be the machines trying to track down his call but failing. This ending would have stood as a good ending, if there were no sequels.

[@mveytia]

Might just be the greatest ending to a film of all time! Still get chills seeing this after all these years.

[@emanueltorresnunez173]

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you.".

[@darkdon01]

EPIC on so many levels it just blows the mind. Not only artisticly but also on a socio-economic scale. This timeless classic is THE call the think for yourself and stay educated. Don’t follow the heard blindly but keep asking YOURSELF validate questions about what’s happening around you / to you. Me? I would (did) take the Red Pill any day of the week!

Late 90's has to be the golden era. No politics or dei, just beautiful storytelling and dialogue, acting and imagination, and yes, special effects that still blow avatar away.

[@ultravioletdream102]

Came here immediately after watching: matrix 4 the parodies! 1 minute and 30 seconds of original matrix were enough to heal my depression after watching the new movie! Aaaah 2000. How much i miss you and your GREAT movies

[@rbleaks818]

When this movie came out in ‘99, there was a choice to watch between The Phantom Menace (Blue Pill) and The Matrix (Red Pill). I went for The Matrix and the rest was history

[@xavierramirez1911]

you made the right choice

[@geoffreyherrick298]

I took both!😵😅

[@theblackestvoid]

@AlexTheUnknown90 lol

[@point-xn4tu]

Even Star Wars fans were throwing up the middle finger at the Phantom already, but besides that... The Matrix just came out of nowhere. There were so many long-overdue themes of neo-sci-fi all wrapped into one digestible package, yet these are all still relevant themes today. Do you choose escapism, or what is real? How close can machines come to emulating reality? (Given recent AI advancements, pretty close) Who is in charge?

[@georgeofhamilton]

Both were red pills.

[@Evangalex]

Love this ending. Beast song and was shot in Sydney Australia CBD Martin Place.

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Evangalex at @0:55 if you look closely to the right of the traffic light, you can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge!! This scene was shot on the corner of Pitt Street and Hunter Street just a block up from Martin Place.

[@MauZangetsu]

That "C'MON!" puts me in a good mood every time

[@yeaRightAJ]

What a perfect song to end it.. couldn’t pick a better one

[@spithadi]

This ending still rings true today. One will stand against all. And he shall be remembered.

[@BeneathTheGold]

Hard to believe this was over 20 years ago. Loved this trilogy so much. Just watched the new matrix4 . It doesnt even come close to the epicness of the originals. Not by a long shot.

[@mex0nn]

Yeah unfortunately :(, i liked the action scenes tho they were a lot of fun

[@BeneathTheGold]

@@mex0nn yeah there was some cool scenes. Its not a movie you could watch without seeing the originals.alot of the time when they make a new movie from movies made 20 years ago they make the new movie a stand alone mivie meaning you can watch that movie and understand it without having to watch the original movies it was based on. That is not the case with this matrix 4 . If you havent seen the originals your going to struggle keeping up with the plot.

[@violettarosina3721]

If u look up the word "badass" on the dictionary it says "The matrix" .... Keanu was so cool here ! Hot as hell !!!!

[@Qoooba95]

It was a perfect ending. Perfect.

[@thereaver8083]

One of if not the GOAT of movie ending scenes.

[@Mr_Whiteford]

Just saw the 20th anniversary re-release a week or so ago. Never saw this film in the cinema first time around, but seeing this scene for the first time must have been the coolest thing ever. Absolutely awesome.

[@jamesbrooks6195]

I watched this in the cinema back in the day , and this is the best end of a movie sequence I can remember , you literally strutted out of the cinema if you stayed and watched it all, felt absolutely amazing

[@kyle.Al196]

The message that Neo says in the end of this movie has become more relevant and more important in our world more than ever. A call to action is now needed more then ever thought possible, if we want our world to become a better place we can’t just sit by expecting to be done by others, instead if we truly want change we have to be the ones to do it ourselves!

[@dawnypoos]

BEST ending to a film.

[@GameSaurus]

Wish I had a time machine, so I could go back in time and watch this in cinema. Must be fucking awesome.

[@I-speak-U-shut-it]

I can't wait to see you again in part 4😍😍😍

[@helen724]

You might be able to do just that in the fall of 2021. Theaters are in need of business but not enough movies due to Covid. They are already re-releasing old blockbusters!

[@WashedCoachWith3Chips]

It was pretty 🔥! I was only 14 but this movie blew me away! Just finished it on hbo Max last night. Watching Reloaded next. I’m so excited for the 4th!

[@DonCorleone87]

there aren’t very many movies you watch in theaters that have you just mesmerized at the end of it. The Matrix was always one of those movies.
