Agree 100% This when Actors worked on Sets together and Acted, instead of relying on Special effects. Saw a preview of a movie recently where not only was there a scene with a group of actors having a meeting, while none of the Actors were in the room at the same time. But some of them were shooting their Scenes from other Countries. Some Actors hadn't even been Cast yet and had to shoot their scenes later with body doubles. So basically even a simple scene of a meeting relied on Body Doubless, Digitally altered Actors, and actors sust phoning in their parts. Its just so disappointing. That's not a Movie set. The Matrix was a Movie set with Actors working together and Special Effects that still hold up today. There's very little you'd change even given today's effect's. It's still a Classic in my book.

The special effects mostly hold up to today's standards if you ask me. Hell, the effects on this film sometimes look more natural given less reliance on CGI like we have today, since instead it uses a more a masterful mix of green screen, natural pyrotechnic, ballistic, and wire work than is used today. These organic special effects as well as practical effects, camera tricks and clever editing, makes many scenes look even better than today's movies that use CGI as a crutch.

Possibly because of the reliance on CGI now has made them lazy. They don't even try to make awe inspiring shot's, and instead go straight to CGI. It's like they don't even have to try anymore. There was a great movie I saw hundreds of times growing up called "Tora! Tora! Tora!". It was a 1970''s movie based on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. At the time most of these movies were made with little model airplanes & boats shot up close to look real. But the Directors of Tora! Tora! Tora! used real planes, boats and stunt men to the point where a few stunts went wrong, but were so good they were left in the released film. Some of the crash scenes were so big they only had one shot at them due to budget constraints. But they pulled them off. There's two scenes in particular where the Stunts went wrong, but luckily nobody was killed. And the finished shots were amazing because obviously the Stunt men were really running for their life. So in the same way this 1970 movie upped it's game and broke boundaries for Special Effects, The Matrix & Terminator 2 did the same in the 1990''s and set the pace going foward. They were just out of their league for that era, and have stood the test of time.

Keanu Reeves has quietly put together a nearly 40 year career. He has a franchise series at this moment "John Wick" films. Critics still do not appreciate his work while fans flock to his movies.👏👏

It introduced a wider western audience to Japanese anime and Chinese kung-fu elements, and crested a returning wave of steampunk AND cyber-noir aesthetics.

Knowing you had just witnessed something special. Too bad the Matrix couldn’t have an Empire Strikes back moment too but hey the OG was enough to change the way I thought about movies from then on out.

The fight choreographer for this was Yuen Woo-Ping. He did a lot of work in Hong Kong cinema in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. There are several references to Bruce Lee in the fight scenes, like Neo brushing his nose with his thumb, and the "come at me" gesture with the hand. He also threw in a few references to American and Italian westerns, like the shot angle that sets off the subway fight scene, a copy of one of the scenes from Sergio Leone's "Man with no name" trilogy. Lots of easter eggs in this movie.

I love that everyone thinks the Oracle told Neo he wasn't The One, but when they think back afterwards they realize HE said, "I'm not The One" with some relief and she shook her head and said, "Sorry, kid." And he assumed she was agreeing with him, as does the audience. Sooooo well written!

Technically she said "Sorry kid", "You've got the gift", "You're waiting for something" and "I hate giving good people bad news". She may not have said he wasn't The One in words, but she was expressing he's not fully committed. I always took it as, if she told him he's the one there's a chance he doesn't believe it, that's why Morpheus didn't have him 100% convinced. That's why she gives him a cookie and said "You'll remember you don't believe in this fate crap". She knew he was fighting this incredible responsibility and allowing him the choice to save Morpheus would force him to commit and embrace his power. And that's why Morpheus says, "She told you exactly what you needed to hear. That's all." She can see all the future possibilities and what might motivate Neo to unlock his potential. That's why she's so incredibly wise. I really liked that actress. I was impressed with her memorable performance.

Though "digital age" is a very loose term. Where you draw the line is up to you. I started programming in the 90s and I've seen a lot of change since then. Maybe we haven't seen the greatest invention of this age yet, who knows.

It even made wire work stunts popular in the US after years of only being a common practice in Asian martial arts films. And I love that it’s true love’s kiss that brings Neo back, like a fairy tale.

This is still my favorite movie ever. And as mind blowing as it is to see it for the first time, everytime you rewatch it, you still find something new, some little bit of foreshadowing that you didn't pick up on in previous viewings. Such a well made masterpiece.

This movie will never grow old. A science fiction masterpiece. " ...There is no spoon..."

This movie blew everyone's mind when it first came out! And, the whole soundtrack is FIRE! 🔥🔥 Thanks for going down this rabbit hole! Great reaction!

Jay & Amber - The song that was playing over the last moments into the credits was "Wake Up" by Rage Against The Machine, one of their best. - The Wachowskis are very philosophical filmmakers. They required Keanu Reeves to read three books: 'Out of Control' by Kevin Kelly, 'Introducing Evolutionary Psychology', and 'Simulacra and Simulation' by Jean Baudrillard (which was the book that Keanu opened with all of the computer disks). The amount of philosophers that the filmmakers drew from in this story is impressive. - Keanu, Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus), Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity), and Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) all went through six months of training with Hong Kong martial arts choreographer Yuen-Wo Ping, learning how to do the fights and the wire work to do the more outrageous in-camera stunts. Keanu was recuperating from spinal fusion surgery at the time, which is why he doesn't do many kicks as opposed to the other leads. - The next two films, 'The Matrix: Reloaded' and 'The Matrix: Revolutions' were filmed together. Basically, some people hate them, some people love them...I love them. They take everything from the first film and turn it upside down and inside out...and then do it again with last year's 'The Matrix: Resurrections'. They are very complex, especially towards the end of the second one. - At the time of filming The Wachowskis were The Wachowski Brothers...they are both trans, and now are Lana (formerly Larry) and Lilly (formerly Andy). Lana directed 'Resurrections' by herself, with Lilly's blessing...but when they made the first three, they were still male-identified. I state all this about Lana and Lilly because one of you said, "I hate the way he talks" about Agent Smith. Hugo Weaving played his role speaking in the same cadence as Lana and Lilly used to in the 1990s and early 2000s. For proof, there are full-length documentaries about the making of the first three films, and the footage of them speaking is kinda funny...it's like Agent Smith. Stilted, robotic, and measured...not so much anymore. - For more background on the real world, the Wachowskis created an anthology of anime shorts called 'The Animatrix', several are really informative especially 'The Second Renaissance, Parts 1 & 2' and 'The Final Flight of the Osiris' which takes place just before 'Reloaded'. This series is just behind 'Star Wars' as my favorite film series of all time. Thanks for doing this one. The Red Pill...always the Red Pill.

I'm sure someone informed you already, but the ending song was played by Rage Against the Machine, song is called Wake Up.

Although it didn't make the KZread edit, I've always loved the scene where Switch (dressed in white) says "not like this" right before she dies. That scene always gets me because imagine you free yourself from the matrix and find yourself following the magnificent Morpheus in his mission to fulfil his part of the prophecy and find the one, you feel like you are doing something truly worthwhile only to be snuffed out in such despicable circumstances. It makes the betrayal of cypher so much more infuriating. I knew Jay would love this but I'm loving how much Amber has come out of her shell when watching action/violence since the channel started. The matrix went a long way to spark something in a lot of people to question other matrices we are a part of. The way our society and economy works. The way our Governments use information or lack thereof to control us to a certain extent. To question how big pharma and big food misinform us to first make us ill or make poor health choices and then ply us with medicines we shouldn't have to take in the first place so they can make money. How the media moguls have an agenda to stoke division and keep us fearful (immigration, socialism and gun politics) in order to maintain their will over us.

The "dodge this" shot is one of my favourites in cinema history

35:42 Fun fact, this was filmed by setting up a bajillion cameras 360 degrees around him in the pattern they wanted. Look up a behind the scenes video, it's neat.

Renee Decartes' reference is itself an analogy. The Matrix film is an analogy built upon other analogies, such as "Alice in Wonderland". It has a meaning that goes much further in which the actual message is both obvious and obscure at the same time. The makers of the film have done this on purpose because the message is not understood by being an intellectual, the film is only understood through Revelation, and it requires the Free Will choice of each individual to see it for himself, and not to allow one's own heart to deceive him in his observation, because the meaning is not what people think it is.

And to be fair, Descartes was wrong. The whole experiment was to provide proof of existence without relying on pre-existing assumptions. At that time thinking was considered a very Human centric thing to do, but we all know today that thinking is just as mundane as breathing, as most animals do it one shape or another. On top of it we can simulate thought processes, more so today with AI and machine learning. So the fact that we can think, does not constitute proof of existence. Very interesting topic to go into, and if you like mind-fucks, its the best to one to look into.

Keanu is an awesome actor and pushes himself for all of his roles. Keanu trained in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and other styles of martial arts for this role and his John Wick roles.

This is by far my favorite reaction video from you two. There's good sci-fi, and bad sci-fi. The Matrix is Fantastic Sci-fi. One of my favorites. Glad to see you enjoyed it.

Watching Neo walking along the ledge gives me the chills!

"The Matrix" was a groundbreaking moment in cinema and changed how movies were made from then on. It's the perfect movie to lead up to the 21st century. When it came out in the spring of 1999 no one had any idea just how huge "The Matrix" would be and it became one of Keanu Reeve's most memorable roles. Another good 90's action movie I would recommend for your movie channel is "Speed", which also stars Keanu Reeves and made Sandra Bullock a star.

Watching your reactions always puts a smile on my face. Seeing the range of emotions upon your faces, especially Amber, like from 30:13 to 30:21, with the "light him up, light him up" through gritted teeth just got me chuckling. Why?

I'm 35, my generation we all knew what the Matrix was, references and skits were everywhere, so for a while it was hard to not know anything about it. It's nice to see young people experience it for the first time, going in blind and getting confused then getting their mind blown like we did in 1999. I need y'all to understand there was NOTHING LIKE IT when it dropped. The film not only holds up, but is becoming more relevant in the digital age.

Chad Stahelski was Keanu Reeves stand-in for the more difficult stunts. Stahelski later became director of the John Wick films.

The reason why this movie looks fresh and thr fight scenes are so awesome is the way it was filmed.they used 120 still DSLR cameras with the video cameras synced up to take images on a green screen from multiple angles so they could slow it down & spin it around. That technology had never been seen before, and a lot of movies afterwards (as well as CGI after effects studios) copied their style. It even had its own name: "Matrix Bullet Time." And because of this movie (and copycats) and improvements in technology, what took The Matrix 120 cameras to do, the feature is now possible with GoPro cameras or with the insta360 X and a selfish stick.

Yes, I took the "red pill" 8 years ago and haven't regretted it, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

I loved your reaction! Just to clarify why the Oracle said Neo wasn't the one, at the time of his visit he wasn't the one...he didn't believe. He was still second guessing himself. The oracle said "maybe in another life". Meaning he had to die to become the one.

As I recall, the Oracle never actually said he was not The One. He said he was not The One and she went along with it. BTW, Neo is an anagram for One. See all the cool details that were put into this movie. Fans can debate the implications forever.

This gave me flashback to laying on the carpet on my livingroom floor 20+ years ago, parents sitting on the coach behind me. Same reactions. "Dirty little snake", squirming for the 'bug'. Her face was my face when he bent back under the bullets on the roof. Thank you for letting me watch this again through your eyes. Glad it still holds up ❤

This movie was absolutely perfect.
