The Matrix was a plagarism

They Fucked the Oracle

I've seen way too many similarities and ideas in other
movies to be too true for all their ideas too be original
anyways. Sad, even for a fan like me.

matrix is a rip-off of just about every book and movie those
brother-people have ever seen.. that alone doesn't make it
bad, though.. the two lasts films make it bad (when seen as
a whole).

NO I didn't JUST realize it, phukkface!
Apparently, she's taking credit for all the Terminator shit
too.
Who the fuck is this Mormon cunt?!
They've been disputing it for *Six* years, yet she realized
the themes in 1981... something's not right.
"Yeah, I'm gonna sit around for 17 years on my ass and do
nothing" (2004 minus Six years = 1998)...

Everybody knows that... right?

Star Wars = Fairy Tales moved to Spaceships

Millennium Falcon - USS Enterprise. I suppose I can see what
you're getting at.

star wars was a rip off of every epic story ever told, most
notably the odyssey. just check out the book "the hero with
a thousand faces" and youll know what im talking about.

Personally, I'd give my right arm to see this "Third Eye"
"script" or "idea" or whatever said cunt came up with...

Third Eye Vision is a fucking kick ass CD, BTW hahahaa
Heiroglyphics got the beats that make you say damnnnn

Heh... I don't think these are really rip-offs. Half the
time when you use a dystophia as the setting for your story,
people always scream 1984. But 1984 is a rip off of Brave
New World, and Brave New World is a rip off of about 30
other less popular stories written before the turn of the
century, and those stories are rip offs of about 50 other
books written in the 19th century.

I like The Matrix.
I dislike Reloaded and Revolutions.

I want to know what this script has in it that means both
Terminator and The Matrix infringe on it... I mean there is
an obvious common ground between them but nothing I thought
could come from just one story.

Uh NO
It's not.
Look when that article came out.
YES, there have been previous discussions about ripoffs
pertaining to the Matrix.
This thread is about that article.
Which is dated October 28, 2004.

for me.

if they removed the whole kid/general, and uncheesified
trinities death, i'd have few complaints.

those two scenes were painful though.

The thing that bugs me about The Matrix is how it is just a
computer game with cut-scenes where the trio are told what
they need to do next. It's like playing a computer game
without the fun of actually playing it.

i don't really understand the analogy. unless you're
talking about how much CG they used.

i mean, you're a passive participant in all movies.

I sure as hell wasn't.

I couldn't give a fuck what happened.

especially in that utter turd of a film "reloaded". nothing
happens for two hours, then there's 10 minutes of hasty
exposition aaand RUN CREDITS!

the actual word 'plagerism' was credited to Michael Jenkins
of Cornwall in 1821, but in actual fact, he stole the word
from one Graham Lewis who as you may know, invented the word
'gullible;
