The Frenchman was giving Neo a subtle warning that the coded food in the matrix can be made to manipulate the one eating it. The Oracle gives Neo a red candy earlier in the film.

[@SirBigWater]

@@ThreadBomb WiFi isnt said in the movie. But the Oracle tells Neo that his connection to the Source allows him to use some abilities outside of the matrix.

[@parasaur2]

Thematically, it’s because Neo understands that the outside world is just as much an illusion as the matrix itself. Part of the architects speech is saying that the idea of zion and the chosen one was a manufactured charade to manipulate the portion of the human psyche that seeks to rebuke the world as they know it, only to build a second layer of illusion outside of it. Thus by understanding that the reality outside the matrix is also manufactured like the reality in the matrix, he should be able to see past it and bend it to his will.

I like the theory that the reason that the fight with the bunch of Smiths looks like that is because the Matrix (like any videogame) can't handle so many clones of one program or it can't handle the graphics or whatever so the Matrix lowers the resolution to accommodate for the action and to be honest...

I think the quality is kind of all over the place, I think 1 or two absolute stinkers but was such a great thing overall. I had this big theory based on Kid's Story, and World Record where they both show a person being able to wake themselves up by sheer willpower, the Kid by belief I think and the athlete by pushing his body beyond what should be possible, that they were planting seeds for a reveal and at the end of Matrix Reloaded, when Neo uses his force powers to disable the sentinels the only reason he could do that was because he finally realized that the 'Real world' was also just another layer of construct by the Matrix. To me it was the only explanation that made sense, like why would the machines tolerate a resistance and how would the human survivors, after each reset, not pass down this knowledge to their children, instead lying to them and pretending they were just the human survivors from the original war........ The Architect making a secondary layer to control the anomaly (the One) and containing them that way until they are dealt with made so much more sense to me then the garbage we got..... Matrix Revolutions sucks so much balls, except for the Zion fight scene, those walking tanks things are amazing.

I’m a matrix nerd and have thought about these movies way too much. I’m pretty sure when the 1st matrix was made, it was like an automatic rejection mentally. The Frenchman is a cause and effect program (hence his obsession with causality). The 2nd matrix has cause and effect but not true choices. That’s why the 3rd brought the oracle. Who, even if the choice isn’t really a choice, is needed. But you have so many illogical choices being made in an equation and you eventually get a remainder. The one.

[@FalconOfStorms]

The concept of the Matrix is a more literal extension of French Marxist Jean Baudrillard's philosophical treatise in Simulacra and Simulation. Despite the nonsensical rants blaming capitalism for everything, the book still has some interesting ideas about symbolism and hyperreality that are worth thinking about and exploring. A specific analogy that Baudrillard uses is a fable derived from the work of Jorge Luis Borges. In it, a great Empire created a map that was so detailed it was as large as the Empire itself. The actual map grew and decayed as the Empire itself conquered or lost territory. When the Empire crumbled, all that was left was the map. In Baudrillard's rendition, it is the map that we are living in, the simulation of reality, and it is reality that is crumbling away from disuse. Baudrillard, cantankerous and pretentious prick that he was, always refused to admit that The Matrix really represented his work. It could also be the case that the old coot didn't understand how computers work so he didn't understand that the Matrix was also a prison of the mind, albeit a much more literal one than the signs and symbolism of capitalism. Or perhaps he just didn't like that the concept was being divorced from his intent to critique capitalism and promote communism. In any case, the Wachowskis were clearly running with the idea and making the same point as Baudrillard about what we think of as reality actually being our hyperreality -- a perception more real to us than the real world. Does that strawberry candy you're eating really taste like strawberry, or does it taste like someone's idea of strawberry? Do you really know what love or joy feel like or are your brain chemicals just being manipulated by sophisticated messaging from people with ulterior motives? Those are the kinds of concepts Baudrillard presents in Simulacra and Simulation. In The Matrix films, scenes like the lady in red and Cypher eating his "steak" with Agent Smith while betraying Zion directly ask almost exactly the same questions. The flavor of steak only exists in our perception of it, entirely in our minds; and a beautiful woman in a red dress is always more than what our 5 senses can tell us she is. The Wachowskis were always saying that the Matrix has us.

Animorphs is a lost treasure of YA sci-fi.

[@davidpap5369]

As I recall my Dad and I rewatched the Matrixes while I was in Highschool. We had a grand old time with the first one, then we moved on to Reloaded. We were watching the Arkitect scene dubbed to our native language, after like 10 minutes of jabbering I turn to him and ask "Want me to put subtitles on?". Neither of us could understand a damn thing.

[@codekhalil6437]

This movie has one of the best car chase scenes I have ever witnessed. That whole sequence was action filmmaking at it's best

[@Puncherjoe1]

I recently rewatched this about a year ago and I forgot how much nothing happens in the first half of this movie

[@k2muts]

Please explain the "nothing happens in the first half" of Matrix Reloaded.

[@mr.moviemafia]

If only the Neo v. Smith fight didn’t become so CGI-heavy because the practicality of the first 2/3 of that fight are incredibly impressive

[@ScooterinAB]

I think that's definitely a problem with this movie. The first one was so interesting and exciting, while this one is just a weird, floaty video game with basically no stakes or grounding.

[@maxithalo7796]

Should've just been a few smiths, like, 10 or 15 for that fight, then bring the army at the end as a surprise

[@YTWanderer]

It certainly overstayed it's welcome. Smith beating the shit out of Morpheus in the bathroom in the 1st Matrix is ten times better. More is less from time to time.

[@allengaible6436]

I love this movie. The castle weaponry fight combined with the car chase is one of the top action sequences. And then after that you get the drama and philosophical bits. This movie is exhausting in the best of ways.

[@juliangrant9718]

Seraph is an agent of the first Matrix hence the name. Short for Seraphim as in an angel. The first Matrix was what the Architect thought our perception of heaven was. Seraph's code is made of that versions code which is why it's made to look like a soul filled with light. That's why Neo looks at him strange. I guess his Matrix's code is more practical where Seraph's is more elaborate and flashier.

[@ryzigg7187]

Honestly I’ve watched the movie multiple times and you telling me what the architect was actually saying was new information I never have any clue what’s going on 😂 I’m just usually amazed by how many TVs there are 🤷‍♂️

When we were watching this movie the general consensus was, at the time, that they were doing a second movie and grew to big; so they divided it into two movies. And still, we were pissed (my friends and I, that is) coz it felt too much of a sudden stop to the pacing of the story.

[@FutureDeep]

I remember at the end of Reloaded seeing the camera pan to the unconscious Bane/Smith, hearing the dramatic music and just wondering who the heck it was. Then credits!

[@shawklan27]

@@FutureDeep I watched this film for the first time recently and I had this same exact reaction

[@emile1365]

I remember a rumour being put out that the Matrix 4 was entirely from the Machines point of view and it was in pre-production straight after the trilogy.

[@greghill158]

This movie would have been amazing if it had been a setup for a better 3rd movie. It feels more like they set up a lot of threads and then just kind of threw it all away in the 3rd movie. My theory at the time was that "the real world" was actually a secondary matrix for people who wouldn't accept the first Matrix. And then Neo left that at the end of the movie to enter the actual real world, being the first "one" to having figured that out. That would have fit a lot of the setup a lot better than "Neo has superpowers in the real world".

[@sharkawy1998]

Never heard this theory before! That's actually pretty cool, maybe the idea seemed tacky for execs to repeat the same premise again? I'm curious if they may address that in the fourth movie. Also what would the real-real world be like? more machines/apocalyptical cities?

[@greghill158]

@@sharkawy1998 I don't think I was alone in theorizing this, although I did come up with independently. My take was that the real world would be more normal. No blotted out sky or anything, just the machines took over and subjugated the people to experiment on them or something. Admittedly I didn't flesh out my theory all that much, just after the Architect's rant about control, it seemed like a good control would be to make the Matrix multi-layer to catch all the outliers in something they would believe to be real but still wasn't real.

[@sharkawy1998]

@@greghill158 Pretty cool idea man! thanks for sharing.

[@MZ99698]

Yeah I think you’re bang on, Reloaded is a pretty decent sci-fi flick with some spectacular action that sets up some really interesting potential storylines and then Revolutions is a real disappointment. If Revolutions was great Reloaded would be remembered much more fondly.

[@blazeuchiha2169]

lol @ the conversation around the 3:30 mark! You know, Workman's Comp doesn't cover injuries that happen off the clock also with the guardhouse destroyed, there's a good chance that those security guards are now unemployed. No reason they have to die too lmao

I didn’t create Frogger, but I came up with the name for it… Can you believe they wanted to name it “Highway Crossing Frog”? …I know, it’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard. "Highway Crossing Frog"🙄

Y’all should do the animatrix. Often overlooked but actually VERY good.

[@joeharshbarger3610]

I like to think of the Architect as the Terms of Service for the Matrix and Neo as "The One" is an administrator that must listen to and read the entire terms before agreeing to them.

[@samuelsimmons6647]

That's a real, solid theory!!

[@pairofsneakerheads]

My favorite Matrix Trilogy moments are the first time Neo meets Morpheus, the waking up of Neo, Morpheus Matrix explanation scene, Agent Smith Virus speach, The Merovingion restaurant scene, The Architect, Neo reaching for and destroying squiddies, Neo going to the machine city and Neo speaking to Deus Ex Machina.

[@DavidAnthonyH]

There's a scene in this Matrix game where you're fighting a scene from the movie in the movie theater whilst the scene is playing in the background and some dude is heckling you, I'm sure you'd love it

I found it funny, there is a scene in the new movie trailer where Matrix 4 Neo is standing in front of a footage of previous Neo... like... yeah... reminds me of that scene. That game was fun but absurd at points... Ants? MEGA SMITH! Extended fight scenes (I loved them)!

[@DaveTh3Ninja]

Link is the literal link to the operator characters from the first movie. They could have just as easily called him Callback.

[@bobaphet4125]

Doesn't the Architect basically call him a loner? You can imagine him clicking his pen and coding a cute dog and sweet muscle car.

[@deanchur]

"It was 2003 and not all the effects were there at the time" Black Widow has a few scenes with very obvious chroma keying; at least the Matrix has the excuse that it was doing something new and it was being rendered on something slower than a modern smartphone.

[@YokieWartooth]

I genuinely hope that the film we get to see in December has more of the Vampire and horror elements that were clearly seeded in 2 + 3. Such a weird element to add but damn it's a cool one

[@YokieWartooth]

Also, I want to know if The Matrix will look like 1999 again while the characters are inside. Because according to Smith, the machines specifically designed that iteration as 1999 for the humans inside. Now, with the ending of Revolutions, the machines are still keeping people within the Matrix, so it should still look like 1999 right? It's not like the machines would have just let the Matrix progress 20 years realistically, the technological progress within the Matrix would have stagnated and halted.

[@alexjang7836]

Would have been cool if Merovingian's henchmen go animalistic during Chateau Fight when they see Neo's blood since they used to be vampires and werewolves.

Imagine having giant ants and giant Smith in the new movie! ;)

The Architect scene is one of my favourite things in movies. I think it’s a brilliant reveal.

The Matrix movies get better with each instalment. If this trend continues The Matrix 4 will be the greatest film ever made.

[@kronos1794]

I always wanted Neo to just walk up to the architect and take the pen just to show he was different. Something small and impactful to contrast all the big flashy fight scenes.

[@bettikennedy5110]

"We're doing the Matrix." "Which Matrix?" "The one you don't like."

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

All the Neo fight sequences had no gravitas because there were no stakes. He was a transcendent being who you knew would come ahead, and that wasn't as interesting as in the first movie, where we new he could be hurt and killed. Now when Morpheus or Trinity were in an action sequence, the movie got infinitely more interesting because you knew for a fact they were mortal and might die.

[@lchatts1]

Glad you mentioned Neo’s power level in this one. When he’s fighting Seraph I thought to myself ‘he could hit him easily’ and he could! Also, why is he so slow when the French man closes the door? Why choose that moment to move at regular human speed of a human?

[@ThreadBomb]

Because "movie".

[@TheJesselopez1981]

Did he know the Merovingian could change doors at that point? If not I think it was just hubris. He thought, "I'll just smash through that door. It'll look cool.[smash] ahhhh nuts."

[@kazkilla1]

Seraph is stronger than an agent so no he couldn’t just hit him, you could tell he was different from how he was glowing in neo’s vision + he’s acting as the oracles bodyguard that should say enough

[@ChestHighWalls]

“ When he’s fighting Seraph I thought to myself ‘he could hit him easily’ and he could!” Considering Seraph is from the very first matrix (the paradise one) it’s conceivable he has been accumulating powers to the point his skill matches “The One”. Another theory I’ve heard is he is a program designed to match the skills of any opponent to test them.

[@t.c9435]

For the intro scene when Trinity attacked the security office; the fact that his reaction went first to "hey wait I already clocked out ... welp this is not my problem" was hilarious to me and everyone who works by shifts.

[@CitizenKen01]

Another Matrivia fact: The Wachowski’s said they wrote the Architect to be like a mechine who is meant to speak in more mathematical or logical terms. This is why it would make sense that he speaks in a rigid or more logical manner. Sure… so now we can let the Wachowski’s dissect the systemic anomaly of learning how to make sure their characters speak English to their audience and how major studios would never fully trust filmmakers without their interfearance on 100+ million dollar projects ever again.

I'm not a fan of the Matrix sequels and there are certainly plenty of valid criticisms you can levy against the Architect scene but I always found it odd that the most common argument against it is "I am too dumb to understand his words."

[@highlandus]

That's never been the argument. It's more that instead of coming off as smart it was so dense as to become jarring and takes a lot of people out the movie and we just see the script and writers trying to overblow the character

[@masterkent1]

thats not really the case, alot of the people who criticized it constructively knew what it meant, problem is spamming unnecessarily long words structured with run on sentences everywhere because they needed to hide the fact that they can't effectively focus on show and not tell so they throw a fuck ton of expository dialogue to waste everyone (including neo)'s time. This is the classic example of why you want to follow the age old advice of "brevity is the soul of wit". Not to mention the added exposition did nothing but kinda made the 1st movie pointless because turns out neo's existence was all planned out by the machines anyway when the whole point of his character in the 1st movie was that it was a miraculous symbol of hope for the human race.
