The soap suds also mirror the look of matrix code.

I am reminded from seeing it again how brilliant the writing and acting of that Oracle scene is and how it plays on psychology. She never told him he wasn't, and she never lied to him. She just let him guess at the answer, and then made him feel satisfied and confident in his answer, even though she never explicitly confirmed or denied it. And the interesting thing is how it not only misleads him, it also usually misleads anyone watching the movie the first time.

"I don't know whats real and what's not" that's a great quote that encapsulates why this movie is an all time great

Plus, everything they say about him being a good dude is true. The reason he's in John Wick is his stunt double, and three of the stunt men who doubled the agents, approached him with the John Wick script. He read the script and loved it. How many actors would read a script from their stunt double, and trust that stunt double to direct that movie? A rare kind of person. Oh, and the one time I saw him really excited was when he was discussing a book he'd just read on string theory. The reason he's kind of odd and reserved is he's brilliant.

The part aboard the Nebuchadnezzar was supposed to be made by a (undisclosed) male actor. Hence the name of the character But producers thoutgh that it would be "too confusing" for the audience in 1999.

It was the dawn of the internet as we know it now (2024), but the story drew on ideas that have been around since the golden age of science fiction. It is inevitable. And that's just the story. The Wachoskis invented a whole new way of filming, embraced the meta, and really just revolutionized movie storytelling. It's so good when today Morpheus says "we gave birth to AI" and all the reactions to that... because when I watched it in 1999, it was a futuristic prediction not reality. Keep up the good work.

Watching the reactions to this movie NEVER get old. It's so fascinating watching the proper confusion play out as the revelations keep on coming. BRILLIANT film!

One thing that I didn't understand the first time watching was why Neo was the One and so special. Neo is a hacker and the best ever. So Matrix is just a computer that he can easily hack the world. That is why other people may be aware and have understanding but they simply not as great as hacker as Neo. So its not a Hero that was the strongest or most powerful or even random but simply biggest computer nerd. Its a very original concept that actually makes sense when doing the chosen one stories.

​@@jerodast, Agent Smith, is that you? 😁 Anyway, nice one. Me like it.

Watching this in the theaters was one of the greatest movie experiences ever and I've seen everything from the original Star Wars first release to Lord Of The Rings and all the Rocky movies on first release in movie theaters. People have no idea how amazing it was to go into these movies with no knowledge other than a trailer and just be blown away. There wasn't the internet and social media there to spoil everything before the movie even came out. The only trailer for The Matrix just said "What is The Matrix?" with very little actual showing of what to expect. I can still hear in my head the cheering and "ooohhh!!" when Smith charges Neo at the end and Neo is just blocking everything with ease and turns to the side blocking all his punches with one are. I'll never forget that experience. It will always be one of my favorite movies. If they would've nailed 2 & 3 it would easily be in the convo for best trilogy. But they didn't so 🤷🏾‍♂️. I kind of saw it coming tho. Two things at the end of The Matrix that made me go "oh no". The whole "love" being able to being him back and Neo flying. I hated both as it played out for the remainder of the series, I was right about both.

"Copper-top" is the nickname used in US commercials for Duracell Batteries. In the film, it's a slur to describe people who unconsciously inhabit the Matrix, since (according to the freed humans' beliefs) the Machines use them like batteries-sources of power.

Coby, you had a preconcieved notion that Joe Pantoliano would double-cross Neo because "he always plays those types of characters." When this film came out, that wasn't always the case. There were some exceptions, but he typically played the good guy and usually law enforcement (Fugitive, Bad Boys, Marshal, etc.). After The Matrix he was Teddy in Memento... and that gave him the credence to effectively play either side for the rest of his career.

You brought up an interesting point in the movie about Cipher's intentions beyond just handing over Morpheus to the Agents. I suppose Cipher was committed to a particular course of action when he agreed to help the Agents. Mainly not leaving anyone else alive after betraying Morpheus and the team. I presume Cipher had keep the rest of the team and the operators from disconnecting Morpheus from the Matrix before the Agents had a chance to extract any Info from Morpheus's mind. Once Cipher confirmed the agents have the needed info he could just sit back and chill while the machines infiltrate/attack and or destroy Zion and fly the hovercraft to a pre-arranged (assuming he could operate/fly the ship himself) location where the machines take him to a reserved pod and hook him back into the Matrix. With Zion destroyed and his crew dead there would be virtually no one left alive to question his actions or to discover that he was solely responsible for the death of his team and the destruction of Zion. This all supposition on my part but a possible scenario had Cipher managed to succeed and a terrible ending to the movie.

"We have a rule: we never free a mind once it's reached a certain age. It's dangerous, the mind has trouble letting go. I've seen it before and I'm sorry." Cipher is beyond tired of living in the real world and desperately wants to get plugged back into The Matrix asap. So he's also killing everyone so he can get caught and plugged back in sooner. No idea if they would have honoured their agreement.

My thing is the moment the operator confirmed that Morpheus was captured and being tortured for critical info by agents. That should have been an immediate emergency signal to Zion control to change the access codes.( provided they could get a signal to Zion to warm them about a possible security breach)

Using "Wake Up" for the end credits, meta.

I've always wished this to be a standalone film and not a franchise. I absolutely love The Matrix. The sequels are Def some decent eye candy but I have just always considered the first one a near perfect film for what it sets out to do. All of the revolutionary slow-mo "shots" (CGI/ slowed framerate) are still amazing to look at. The timing/ editing of the climax as Neo discovers his true potential and Morpheus throwing the switches for the EMP to knock out the sentinels is superb. And that last scene where Neo breaks the fourth wall by looking at us, then looks up, the camera quickcuts out and up, and Neo just flies into the sky, roll credits. Absolutely stunning for 1999. I do enjoy the 2nd and 3rd overall with continuation/ conclusion of the story, I just feel they lacked the essence of the 1st.

He had to die. The Oracle told him "one of you is gonna die." I saw this movie 5 times in the theater and dozens of times afterwards. Each movie is just as good My recommendation is to continue down the rabbit hole

I remember back when this movie was all the rage... I used to have a Matrix source code screensaver on my Windows 98 desktop. 😅 PS: new viewer here :) found you randomly via your _Léon The Professional_ video. Since I'm already following a bunch of reaction channels, I'm always hesitant to add yet another one to the list; however you seem genuinely fun and able to comprehend what's going on. It's so nice to have a person not just consuming something for content's sake. 🥰

Great reaction. The Matrix will always hold a special place for me and my family. I took my wife to see this when she was 9 months pregnant with our first child as out last 1 on 1 date night before we had kids. That 1st child of ours is 24 now and just graduated college. To quote Keanu in this one..."Whoa."

Nice reaction and I’m very happy you liked it. I just want to add that at this point after you finish watching the 1st movie everything’s “clear”. Like we leave the theater room thinking we understood everything until the last scene of the second movie. When Neo immobilizes the sentinels in the real world. When this happens, we have to reconsider everything we learned about the movie so far…😅

Right after telling him he's not the one, the oracle told Neo he IS the one. "You've got the gift"

It's refreshing to hear someone note the importance of casting Keanu Reeves in the right role (he's no Gary Oldman). One of my life's small regrets: I *passed* on seeing The Matrix when it was in the theaters, and I've never seen it on the big screen. But in 1999, I'd made up my mind: "No more f'g Keanu Reeves movies!" I'd seen his weak performance in My Own Private Idaho (outshone by River Phoenix, RIP)... I'd been appalled at his totally-$HIT English accent in Coppola's Dracula, annoyed that he was ever cast in the role ("Aren't there any *British* actors Coppola could've cast?" I wondered)... And I'd been dragged by college friends to Johnny Mnemonic -- a mess of a film, letting down the source material (Gibson) -- "One for Johnny Moronic," I said, purchasing my ticket. Walking out of the film, it occurred to me, "We've worked out Keanu's range, and that range is... Ted! Because he IS Ted!" (Bogus, dude! That said, he was OK in Parenthood, but obviously *acting.* I'm also one of the few people who thought Speed was just a little too dumb to enjoy -- nowhere near as plausible or fun as Die Hard or Lethal Weapon, and Keanu's just... boring. But then again, in that movie, even Dennis Hopper was boring!) Anyways, that's how I missed the best Keanu Reeves movie ever: THE MATRIX! Keanu is *perfect* as Neo in this brilliant film. Today, a quarter-century after The Matrix, I admit Keanu is very good in the right role and a very disciplined actor. (But no more accents, Keanu. Please.)

Before you watch the sequels, I recommend watching 'The Animatrix'. It's an animated anthology with different stories that take place between the 1st and 2nd movie. It'll help give you some insight into plot points and characters in the 2nd movie, and also explain the history of The Matrix and the Machine world. It's also incredibly well made, with some of the most amazing visuals.

The Wachowski sisters writing this before coming out as trans makes so much sense. The whole having a way you are perceived in the simulation vs having a real self. They had wanted to include one of the characters that was a man in the real world and a woman in the simulation (or it could have been the other way around), but it didn't make the cut. Really a great film.

The didn't exactly write the original. I thought everyone knew this by now.

Neo believes he can bring Morpheus back because he actually believed what the Oracle told him, that he is not the one (his interpretation) AND he can make a choice to save Morpheus' life by giving up his own.

Once you realize that you can rearrange Neo's name. you're going to love it.

How do you just randomly know extras in the matrix lmao

I think the most interesting part of this video was seeing Coby's surprised reaction to seeing people she knows who had bit parts that she didn't know were in the movie, especially when you consider it's a 25 year-old flick! Me: happy to see a youtuber somewhat close to my age, and she's crazy cute too, even though I used to live in SoCal and Vegas and saw my fair share of beautiful women. Me halfway through the movie when she says, "Suicide doors on the Lincoln Continental!", I just fell in love. LOL!

Cypher coughing and sneezing wasnt a accident. He betrayed them. He wants morpheus to get caught.

My favorite Oracle part is when she SAID what he was waiting for: His "next life"... and she was correct.

Such a talent, and yes, reacting IS A TALENT- At least, when an audience is the recipient. Can’t wait for the rest of the series. 😊 PS - have you seen Dark City?

Coby, Ada Nicodemou and Fiona Johnson in '90s Sidney Australia. What a trio! XD

I'm interested in your life story to answer two perplexing questions: 1. How does someone in the industry not see some of the biggest movies of the past 25 years? (I imagine it may involve something like, "I'm pretty therefore I had better things to do." :-) 2. How does someone from Australia not have an Australian accent? I know Australians can sound American when they want to, but their everyday voice typically has an Australian accent.

A movie with a similar dress code, from the year before this, is "Blade." It has the distinction of being the first successful Marvel film, and it's the first of a trilogy. While "The Matrix" is the better film, maybe "Blade" is the better trilogy? IDK. Popcorn muncher action. BTW, if you haven't seen Hugo Weaving in "V for Vendetta," it's a top film, must see, classic.

25 fucking years! That is mu fav movie and I have watched it hundreds of times. I don't usually write comments and give compliments especially to pretty girls as you, cuz you know, everybody else does and it's probably annoying, but I just have to tell you that your reaction to the movie made me so happy, you are so joyful and genuine in your expression that is contagious.

You are cool on top of the amazing face God give you, I wish you all the best things, keep being yourself cuz it's pretty fucking awesome! ;)

Neo had to die before he could be reborn as the One. As the Oracle said "You're waiting for something, another life maybe." Trinity's prophecy had to happen in order for Neo's to happen.

When Neo first entered the car with Trinity and Switch, Switch called him "Coppertop". I was like what? I was blown away by the radical shift of POV.
