They should've kept the Eddie storyline as an introduction. The reason I say that is because it's why Cypher betrayed Morpheus, and it adds enough depth to Cypher that it makes him relatable. He's tired of Morpheus' ideas getting people killed, and he's tired of fighting a losing war. With that context, Cypher goes from a generic bad guy with no explainable reason he would betray his crew, to someone who reached his breaking point, and just wanted to go back to ignorance, rather than witnessing people die all the time. It's the difference between a dry, unrelatable bad guy, and a deeper, worn out soldier that just wants it all to be over.

The producer was right. That original script devolved into just another Terminator movie. Glad we got the final product that we did. However, there are some elements from that original script that most certainly would’ve worked in the final. The concept of Morpheous’ stance on love, as it pertains to soldiers. This most certainly could have been a secondary theme that presented its own conflicts between the characters. it’s not that Morpheus was against it, it was that he was against it for those selected in carrying out the task of fighting the war. He needed soldiers to be clear minded, unattached and focused. That was one of the sacrifices, as a soldier, they would give up in order to help humanity. The conflict would have been him realizing that soldiers are still humans, too, and that we all need that connection. That story most certainly could’ve worked in the final.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Especially given the later themes of the love between Trinity and Neo being the source of their power, as contrasted with the love of previous integral anomalies for the whole of humanity, it is incredibly on-point and powerful to show Morpheus' initial flaw being his belief that personal love is a weakness. You can really see how the Wachowski sisters carried this idea forward and expanded and improved it, thanks to the tension with a producer who didn't accept the original script. Kind of a stellar example of the system actually working.

In some ways, I feel that this version of the script defined Neo as a character in a way that pushes against the final product. I always thought Neo being a hacker/ software engineer living a double life (where he seems to inhabit 2 people and "wake" from being one to the other) made thematic sense but no real plot sense. Once the false reality is revealed, these parts of his charcater seem to play no meaningful further role in the story (pardon me if I'm wrong but all the software/ hacking from that point on seems to fall to other characters). I feel like these aspects of his character would make more sense in a film about entering rather than exiting virtual reality? (I also cant help thinking that this fits better with Baudrillard's philosophy, which was an influence on the Waxhowskis). I'm not saying the original script wouldve worked. it's just interesting to me to consider how it still influenced the final product.

I heard that the Wachaowski's planarized the Matrix off another author who died before the lawsuit could be finalized. The main sticking point that seemed to have been changed to avoid the lawsuit was that in the Matrix we got humans are being used as batteries to power the machines, but the original had the real deal. Human minds were the building blocks of the Matrix, their brains forming a collective hivemind that was the Matrix itself. When you think about it, a human body produces so little heat energy compared to something like a power plant, which can supply a lifetime of energy with the waste product fitting inside a soda can. It's foolish to think that these machines would use human animals for energy, any more than human cities using cows or pigs for energy when coal, wind and nuclear energy are available. Anyway in this original 'planarized' version, removing people from the Matrix doesn't rob the machines of energy but robs them of the very structure of the matrix itself, the human mind being something the machines couldn't replicate. It would still work within the theme of "control (the matrix) vs free will" that is the heart of the movies. I think it's also very interesting that the human city of Zion was also technically a Matrix, another system of control developed by the machines. If the Matrix was a teacup catching people inside of it, then Zion was a saucer that catches the run off that escapes the teacup. Even Neo's love for Trinity was orchestrated by the Oracle to manipulate his actions to do her bidding without Neo ever knowing it. Anyway many people will now say that the Wachowski's were no geniuses, buck hacks, look at how poorly the sequels were (and their subsequent movies) when they didn't have another stronger script written by others to stand on.

It gets too busy. Smith being more the face of an all powerful system works better in a broader way, and Neo an everyman underdog. The final version invests more in the archetypes. It does the resurrection of the hero at the end to round his arc. And at the same time it wasn’t completely derivative because it’s clearly rooted in a point in time, the 90s were coming to a close and the brave new world of the internet was now ubiquitous…the existential anxieties in how uprooting an influence that was becoming. The script had to find itself.

There's a saying: when it's time to railroad, you railroad, not before. Did you know that the photographic camera, the bicycle, the airplane, and many other inventions were developed by different people, in different places, without knowledge of each other's work, at the same time? Every mathematical or scientific discovery, every invention, every story, all art, they all build on work of the past. They are all discovered or created within the context of a culture that is ripe for them. The Matrix and Dark City are both amazing stories, and very similar, and they were both developed in a world that was ripe for them. It's a fascinating truth about the universe (or simulation?) we live in, and something that I'm afraid won't be recognized in the future, as we are all aware of every latest thing at all times.

If it's true that the producer was a big factor in the final story of the matrix then maybe that would explain why the Matrix 4 wasn't so good.

There is a fundamental difference between a cool idea, and an actual story. The draft you just told us about suffers from a cool idea that is not actually a story, which is an honest, failing of a lot of science fiction. Ideally, you wanna have a solid story that has a lot of cool ideas baked into it, and what you read certainly was not at that point. I do understand what the person reading the script meant when he said, the spiritual and metaphysical aspect of it were confusing. They are. They are not baked into the story itself, in the version you told us about they seem like they’re just sort of bolted on to the sides. The rewrite incorporates them into essential portions of the story rather than superficial sub dressing.

I think the best change here was to fix "VR" ... I don't like how it was mentioned. The later version reversed it, since Neo does not go into VR, but out of it. So they "just" have to create a futuristic, destroyed earth and everything in "VR" aka Matrix is our real world with some superhuman abilities. This makes it comfortable to understand what it's like inside the matrix and nothing outside (the movies real world) is too abstract. If there is anything hard to understand, it is what Neo, Morpheus and Agent Smith were. None of them were only humans or programs. They were part of a system that the Architect builds and the Oracle manipulates. Controlled freedom as the perfect prison. I think this is why "no one" liked Matrix 3, it needed a (non-repeating) end to that story, not just a big boss fight and happy end.

Eddie's story would have been good to include. They sort of did with animatrix. But it should have been included at some point even the last movie or something

Definitely a good thing they rewrote the latter half. It really did feel like a Terminator rip-off in that part.
