Best movie turned 20 today, I've got my leather trousers on in appreciation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reloaded is good too but that first one is so great. A masterclass in exposition married with fantastic action. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Considered/offered Neo: will smith, Brad Pitt, Val kilmer, Ewan MacGregor, David duchovney, Tom cruise, leo DiCaprio, Nicolas cage Keanu was the right choice. |

Morpheus is dope, hangs out with dr dre on a ship called the Nigga Kanigga, only pulling white people out of the matrix so they can be his reparation slaves. |
||||||||
|
|

|
i like it when neo enters the room to meet morpheus and morpheus turns around with his dick out and says "at last." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also he wears a leather coat and a lightning strikes as he turns to REVEAL HIMSELF it's awesome |
||||||||

paid the ticket twice for this, only time in my life |

I was living in London at the time and I remember the hype for it was huge. There was a real buzz of excitement. It’s a great movie. Shame about the sequels. |
||||||||

|
|
my fave bit in it is where he is being told how to leave the office |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
My favorite part was when the white guy said "I can smell your stink" to the black guy, and the black guy started crying. |
||||||||

|
|
if morpheus showed me his johnson i'd "choose the red pill" as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't take the red pill anally: or combine it with other drugs: |
||||||||
|

|
|
Did anyone else buy that game enter the matrix, it was a god awful cash in buggy as hell, I reckon they could make a properly good matrix game now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no wmw you take the red pill orally then your anal adventure begins |
||||||||
|

surely that's the brown suppository? |

remember in reloaded they had those cool looking albino kung fu twins and they were in the film for 2 seconds and didn't fight much at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u mean the dreadlock twins |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I just watched a bit on the motorway and you see an agent jump on a car, jesus the CGI was really shit even for that year |
||||||||
|
|

true facqt: due to contractual obligations with the guy that wrote the book that it was based on, the producers of Die Hard were contractually obligated to offer the lead role to Frank Sinatra. then in his 70s, he declined |

seems the communicate ideas through trite cultural memes *strokes chin* |
||||||||

|
i can't be the only one who thinks the matrix is a load of gash, surely... portentous po-faced plop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It's pretty epic that The Matrix was released on International Transgender Day of Visibility. There's a lot of great queer and feminist analysis of the film out there. I haven't been able to watch it since it was hijacked by alt-right and MRA manbabies, though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean a lot of cod philosophy, and the fact is not as good as the sum of its influences, yeah I think its alright, I think its one of those films that is quite spectacular on first viewing but doesn't hold up that well for repeated viewings |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno haven't seen it in a while I might reassess it, the sequels were deffo a bit gash, first one was a lot better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked the first one a lot when I first saw it, it's a good yarn and brilliantly produced. Some of the sci fi ideas are a bit dodgy but whatever, not everything has to be hard SF. completely get why belb says "portentous po-faced plop". The worst scene for that is the drivel-speech by the architect, I think in the second one. Holy shit was that bad. My jaw was hanging open. How did anyone greenlight that dialogue. guys are we ziltypilled |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could be cos i didn't see it at the cinema, it wasn't very immersive on an old portable with ad breaks. and cod-philosophy is right. it spawned a load of sixth formers at our school going round in leather trenchcoats, i just found the whole thing ridiculous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it is very first year philosophy but that's part of the first ones charm as it's an action movie most of all with cod philosophy to justify it. it's the second and third where the wachowskis started sniffing their own farts (architect, ghosts and vampire etc) where it goes off the rails. First one has lots of shorter exposition scenes that work really well as they're always punctuated with examples, second and third are paragraph after paragraph of 'i am so smart'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sniffing their own farts, I think their limitations were really exposed with the sequels, if they had to construct nuance to a grand narrative they just couldn't do it, it was a muddled mess, Im usually good at following plot threads but I was confused. there was just a lot of mumbly dialogue that didn't really say much of anything, there was one scene that was quite well done, the one with the architect guy, that was memorable perhaps cos it This guy was like a character from Allo Allo He make Keanu Reeves look like a subtle actor lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I remember that fad was especially big with awkward youth types in America, like fedoras and fingerless gloves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just watching it now, yeah Dialogue Is really overwrought, I like the video screens in the background, the bad guy is very reminiscent of peter cushing as moff tarkin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just missing a monocle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Total Film magazine says this film contains "the worst line ever delivered in a mainstream Hollywood film." The line of dialogue is: "Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of The Matrix. |
