The best part is, that the Oracle never actually said Neo wasn't the One. He said "I'm not the One?" and she said "Sorry, kid. You've got the gift, but it seems like you're waiting for something... your next life maybe." That's exactly what happened. He was developing his gift, used it to get Morpheus out, then died and came back with his "next life" like it was a video game and Trinity reminded him to respawn lol. I hope you'll do the other three movies like this too.

The other two movies are... not great. Terrible, really. Compared to movies today, they're okay but compared to this, they're mostly awful with brief glimpses of greatness. There is no fourth movie as far as I'm concerned. It's a forced cash-grab, soulless, copy of a once great IP and the action scenes are filmed awfully by comparison. Nothing innovative or groundbreaking whatsoever. Definitely shouldn't have been forced to be made.

BUT... what I loved about it was how she made it such a meta commentary on a bunch of topics including mocking the folks that forced her into making it.

Seeing reactors watch this, and having seen the movie several times myself, it occurs to me that there's really not a moment wasted in the whole story.

What a crazy level of filmmaking.

@NoriMori1992

Yes! 4 years ago I rewatched The Matrix after a long gap, and for the first time I noticed: There's rarely any dialogue where there doesn't need to be. There's no "filler". And the dialogue that is present doesn't take the scenic route. It gets right to the point. It gets the ideas across well, but it does it in very few words. Take the night club scene for example. Many movies would be tempted to have a longer establishing shot, maybe even show Neo having a banal conversation with his friends to really let it sink in how out of his element he is. Instead, we get a brief shot of some people talking but we don't hear what they say, we get a brief shot of Neo standing by himself, and then Trinity immediately shows up and tells him what he needs to know and then it's on to the next scene. Same with the restaurant scene between Cypher and Smith. That _entire_ scene is only a minute and a half long, but by the end we understand exactly what Cypher wants and why he's willing to betray his crew for it and what he's giving the Agents in exchange. They give you time to breathe, but they don't waste your time. Even moments that feel like filler serve another purpose. (e.g. The breakfast scene with the crew.) And there are a lot of quiet moments, because they resist the temptation to fill silences with unnecessary dialogue.

I love how Laura said Neo after he was killed by agent Smith and called him mister Anderson. It's so cute 😁

My boss at my first job said he quit watching this movie at the beginning when Trinity flies through the window because he said it was unrealistic. I told him if he'd kept watching, it would have been explained why she was able to do that and that he had missed out one the most mind blowing movies ever. It's just funny that I still think about that.

So, very unusually for me, I went to see this at the cinema with a bunch of freinds. On the way home, me driving, I came to Junction A (let's call it), which, in the dark, I _thought_ was Junction B. Then a mile later, we came to the _actual_ Junction B and without thinking I said: "whoa, déja vu." And then everybody in the car stopped talking abruptly and just stared at each other with chills going up their spines for a solid ten seconds...

The first time I saw this movie in a theater, shortly after its release, I immediately re-entered the theater afterward and watched it a second time. Then I came back the next day and watched it again. It was completely different than anything I had seen before. It totally blew my mind! An amazing ground-breaking film! It was great to see Laura's reaction as a first-time viewer. Lot's of confusing stuff happening yes, but lots of awesomeness going on as well!!

In case you missed it, what the Oracle said was true. Neo wasn't the One when he visited the Oracle, she told him he was waiting for something, his next life perhaps. After he died in that hallway, and was revived by Trinity's magic kiss, he was able to access the power of the One. There is a lot of symbolism with hidden meanings in the Matrix movies, it took me years to figure out most and still not all of them.

Neo did not die and that was not True Love's Kiss. His body in the Matrix temporarily did, but his mind was already bending the Matrix. "The Body cannot live without the Mind", only applies to those who are tricked, by the Matrix, into giving up when it "kills" you. If you can rewrite it's code, you know that it's all fake, so why would he die? Trinity only "woke" him up. He finally realizes this and goes back in himself, after all he is still connected. Edit: Also, there is no "Power" of The One. The One is simply someone with the knowledge and the experience to Hack the neural connection between Humans and the Computer running the Matrix Simulation. His ability to rewrite code is a "Cheat Code" for the Matrix, making him look superhuman inside. It's all learned ability. You also have to remember that the only members of this group that can change reality in the Matrix (except the kids, but they are always better at new tech anyway) are the Hackers. Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo are famous or notorious Hackers. Mentally trained to change computer code. No wiki-wiki wu-wu required.

He's got the power, he just doesn't entirely believe it or is yet fully aware of it.

Agreed. One of the reasons (among many) the fourth movie is so awful is that it had *none* of the innovation and inspiration that this film had driving it. Action scenes and choreography in the fourth was god awful.

Glad you discovered this gem. I just rewatched it recently (in Belgium, a theater had the great idea of screening the original a week before the last one that came out last year), and gosh, it's as badass and well shot as I remembered it ! And quite frankly, it didn't aged that much. I actually find it much more visually compelling, and with its own visual identity than many movies that have been done in the past 24 years that came after it. It was the perfect action movie to cap the 90's (the movie came out in 99), encapsulating all the big hits of the decade, like Terminator 2, Ghost in the Shell, and kungfu movies ! It was basically a filmmaker's film, and the Wachowskis were definitely film buffs, especially inspired by Asian movies. It's one of these rare movies, like Star Wars, before it, that defined an entire era. When it came out, EVERYBODY was talking about it ! So you can imagine just how loud were the cheers in theaters when Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne got reunited in John Wick some 20+ years later. The only thing that's a bit sad with it is that the movie suffered the Terminator syndrom : The first one was so good that no other movies that came after in the saga were nearly as good (it actually got worse and worse as it went on). Quite frankly, the first Matrix was just perfectly enough on its own, with an open end that was just perfect as is. You don't need to watch the others.

"He's perfect for that role" Funny story, the Wachowskis originally cast Will Smith to play Neo, and he passed on it to do Wild Wild West.

In the theater with surround sound was a totally awesome experience when it first came out. One of the few movies ever that has inspired philosophic discussion among almost everyone who sees it. If you knew your physical body was being used to generate power for an artificial intelligence to survive and your conscience existed only in a computer simulation, would you really want to know? To expound further if your government is lying to you about almost everything to manipulate your emotions so you will demand they make changes that they want to make would you want to know? The Tavistock Institute in England was started in WW1 to figure out how to treat the soldiers who became incapable of normal function due to the stress induced by continual fear of dying, they called it Shell Shock. The treatment found to be most effective was group therapy. It turns out that most human beings will conform to group think even when the group believes the sky is pink and not blue. Most people do not have enough confidence in their own knowledge and reasoning abilities to trust themselves over what the group believes. This principle is how the Nazi's were able to turn the German people against the European Jewish community to the point they were OK with them being systematically exterminated. All dictatorships have absolute control over all forms of communication with the public for this very reason. All they have to do is convince the majority that something is true when it is not to get the public to support the changes they wish to implement. That is why so many western governments are locking down the internet and labeling any information that goes against the narrative they want the public to believe as misinformation. The Tavistock split into the British Ministry of Health and the non profit Tavistock Institute after WW1 and continued their research. In the 1950's they created a division to advise paying customers on how to influence the masses. Their first paying customer on record was a British company called UNILEVER which is now one of the largest corporations in the world. The internet is a very easy place for governments to write computer programs to simulate human beings and push ideas to create the perception that a point of view they want the public to acquire is a majority opinion and create change.

Neo, sooner or later, you're going to understand that there's a difference between _knowing_ the path and _walking_ the path." And that is an _especially_ profound concept of philosophy called "determinism."

There's a lot of fun little touches to this movie that people overlook or don't understand until they've seen it multiple times. At the beginning, when Agent Smith tells the police lieutenant, "No Lieutenant, your men are already dead...", that wasn't because he knew Trinity and knew that she was a formidable person, it's because the Agents were unable to upload themselves into the two police units that the lieutenant sent up - because they were already dead.

I was really hoping that you two would react to these movies. They are a big part of my childhood and so much fun. Please continue with them you lovely ladies.

You should absolutely watch Heat, it's an absolute classic of cinema with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

When I saw this movie back in the day, I was blown away. It was a cultural phenomenon.

19:41 the song is by The PropellerHeads... the whole album is amazing . Decks, Drums, and Rock'n'Roll is the album.

Imagine the person working on the story for John Wick is watching this movie. He watches it and says to himself "I think I found the perfect actor for my movie."

24:25 And with that, Morpheus made history as the _first_ human being successfully rescued from Agents.

17:06 Admittedly, Tank is a _supporting_ character, but I really like his contribution to this movie. I heard, though, that during contract negotiations for _Reloaded,_ he did one of the _dumbest_ things under the Sun. He threatened the lives of the _Wachowskis._ I cannot fathom what would compel him to do that, but that's why he's not in _Reloaded_ or _Revolutions,_ and that's unfortunate. His absence is conspicuous.

Hi Ladies!😊 Great to see you introducing Laura to the fine classic Matrix film, Magy!!!!👏👏👏👏 When Neo was learning all his skills like Kung Fu, I am sure one of them involved gunfire. That is how he is able to not shoot Morpheus in the rescue scene. You might want to consider adding "(Laura's First Time)" in your title Magy, so people know it is still a first-time reaction.😉 It will probably generate more views. Maybe you should watch an even younger Keanu Reeves with Laura in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989), a very enjoyable comedy. The one flaw in this film in my opinion is that when Neo and his friends are killing the bad guys (Agents that have taken over bodies) they are actually killing innocent civilians trapped inside the matrix. Great reactions with your repeat viewing Magy, and Laura's first time!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

It's genuinely awesome seeing a new generation experience this. It was so defining and shows how timeless the tale can really be.. though now I feel old as heck. Bravo!

Something most (well maybe not most, but some) people don't realise: when Neo drops the phone and it hangs there in the air a second before dropping.....NEO did that. Subconsciously at least. He made the phone hang there, but then since (as much as he knew) it needed to fall because of gravity, it fell.

I love seeing sincere reactions. The girl at the microphone finally shed a tear, and so did I))) Thank you for the emotions and greetings from Mother Russia!

Hello 👋🏻 I’m writing from Canada. Great movie aside, it’s always good to see you girls smile and laugh. It truly is! It can be said that a smile can indicate happiness and positivity, as well as being a sign of confidence and approachability. Qualities that unfortunately can’t be found in everybody nowadays. So keep on bringing the smiles and laughter, girls. I’m always looking forward to which reaction you’ll do next.

You girls rock. Watching your face when Neo was been bugged by the agent was priceless. Let me suggest you another sci-fi classic with a good touch of humor: Back to the future (1985). I think you could enjoy it too if you liked this one.

31:54 I saw it in the theater on opening weekend. I walked out of the theater & went straight to the box office & bought another ticket for the next show. It was such an impactful experience.

The Matrix is basically a metaphor for the real world we currently live in, using the red pill for understanding how the real world works whether you like it or not (which most don't) and using the blue pill for living in your own personal reality where everything revolves around you (which most people prefer, and that's how you decipher the narcissists of the world such as people who can't live without social media). This movie, including movies such as The Terminator, was way ahead of its time and it's also timeless and that's what makes it so great. You can say what you want about Reloaded and Revolutions, but Resurrection is 100% skippable

I remember when the movie first came out, it was a sleeper that grew each week through word of mouth. I had a friend who supplemented his income by working part time at the theatres. He used his free passes and dragged me to see it in a nearly empty theatre. I was amazing. Then it grew into the only thing people talked about. It was not just how well they blended the early CGI with wire work, but that the method for using the wires and "bullet-time" were revolutionary. Much of how practical effects and green screen are done today in Marvel films owes its existence to effects pioneered for this movie.

I'm so glad you ladies have had the experience of this movie. It's a classic. Still mind-bending today if you think about it as an allegory.

The effects are revolutionary and changed the game for Hollywood.

7:19 That’s Laurence Fishburne, great Actor from multiple classic films like Boyz N The Hood, Deep Cover, What’s Love Got To Do With it as he plays Ike Turner, Tina Turner ex abusive husband, also on Higher Learning, and Black-Ish

11:50 Fun Fact; match the twins! to give a copy & paste feel to this scene nearly all the extras are twins or triples & when I found this out I went back to check frame by frame & you can make out nearly everyone has a copy.

If you get the chance, read The Allegory of the Cave by Plato. The Wachowskis took the ideas from that ancient philosophical piece and gave them a modern twist. In the allegory, Plato describes a group of people who have lived chained in a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality but are not accurate representations of the real world. Only when they break their chains, escape the cave, and see the world in the light of day, have they experienced the real world. Of course, then it becomes a matter of to what degree perception is reality. It's a fairly short read and going into the movie knowing the basis of the plot gives the movie even more impact.

Imagine watching this 23 years ago when the movie first released... I had my mind blown. The first time, it was for the action sequences, the second time, it was because I finally understood what the movie was about, and every single time after being just amazed at the amazingly weird brains of the writer-directors. Now, I just mouth the dialogs along with the actors. Also, Keanu Reeves is one of those guys who somehow never seems to age. Oh, and also, after you watch the Matrix trilogy, may I suggest that you girls watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy?

What will really bake your noodle is several scientists now believe we are really living in a simulation.

One of the five movies I watch once a year since the early 00s. Expect the fact it is so rewatchable for the reasons u said, its also a fun way to compare with the previous interpretations/reactions you had like comparing yourself with your older/previous selves. The other four movies are Fight Club, The Revolver by Guy Ritchie, Kubricks Space Odyssey, Ghost in the Shell (anime) Great reaction girls.

Magy, you've changed a lot since your first reaction to The Matrix. That one was great. But, it made a room to enjoy Laura's reaction. Thx for sharing, girls.

31:29 Everyone is confused the first time they see The Matrix, just like everyone falls when the first time they try to make the jump across buildings

Did anyone realize that for Neo to meet Oracle he needs to accept cookies first?

Besides recognizing Keanu Reeves from John Wick, you two may recognize the voice of Agent Smith. He’s *Hugo Weaving* and he played V in V For Vendetta. Laura, you’ll see him again in Captain America and in Lord Of The Rings. 😎 Besides John Wick *Laurence Fishburne* (Morpheus) was Lois Lane’s boss in *Man Of Steel*

saw matrix like a 100 times. But these two girls said things that never crossed my mind =D

This won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Yes, they do look cool. But the effects in The Phantom Menace (also released that year) broke new ground in combining models and CGI, creating artificial terrain and landscapes, artificial crowds, and had not one, but two CGI characters in a supporting roles.

Посмотреть этот фильм впервые... Завидую 😌

Remember when he said “ guns lots of guns “ in both this movie and Wick

Agent Smith was in the Hobbit movies if you remember.. :)

Thank you for reacting to this, ladies. It’s always love over gold.

I remember when it came out in theaters. I was like, "maybe it will be alright, i'll rent it after it comes out on on tape". About a year later, I finally watched it and was like, "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I WATCH IT IN THEATERS!!!!!".

I remember in the early 2000s enjoying The Matrix. I also enjoyed the two sequels of Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions as they are better than what critics say about them. One action movie request which also stars Keanu Reeves is Speed 1994.

Meta commentary on the movie: "No one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

There were only 2 movies that I saw twice in the cinema: 1st is the Matrix, 2nd is the Avatar

My favorite was the second one. Neo showed more of his powers & abilities.

I'm so glad you girls loved one of my favorite movies. 😊👍 I recommend also watching: Terminator 1 & 2 and also The Shawshank Redemption, The Abyss, Braveheart, Alien, Aliens, Predator, Rambo first blood, Blade Runner, The notebook (Romantic) Titanic. Just to name a few great ones.

You girls _do_ realize that the screenshot you used for this vid's thumbnail is from The Matrix Reloaded, right? 🤨 Anyways, I'll watch this reaction in a bit.

You mentioned Lawrence Fishburn and Keanu Reeves but you forgot to tell her that Hugo Weaving who was Agent Smith was also V in V For Vendetta

Favorit food: TBD Favorite music: To good at goodbyes Favorite book: Robinson Crusoé Favorite game: Metal Gear Solid Favorite comic: Superman Red Son Favorit movie: The Matrix

I love watching you two! I really enjoy watching both your reactions. Thank you

The more the knowledge you acquire from 'downloads' the less 'ignorance is bliss' you'll get to experience. Thanks for sharing.

Don't forget Animatrix between Matrix 2 and Matrix 3. It's full of important details.

This movie is inspired from a style of paperback book Sci-Fi writing (a genre)called Cyberpunk from the 1970s & 80s.

29:46 I chuckle a bit, whenever I see this part. Remember the _first_ time Neo met Agent Smith. Smith (and the other agents) intimidated him _so_ much, Neo did not see how he could _ever_ stand up to him. Now, they can no longer go toe to toe with _him._

The first movie was a great start. I thought the next two movies took themselves way too seriously, and the mythologies felt off.

It *would* be nice to learn martial art like that. I've been a practitioner of Goju Ryu for almost 50 years.

The Matrix is one of only couple lifechanging pictures in history.

You have to watch it several times, and the more information you pick up when you do. Love the reaction, girls! Intelligent and beautiful... now i hope I'm not giving you two that same "creepy guy" feeling that Cypher gave you whole watching The Matrix... Best of luck with growing your reaction channel! I wish both of you and your family nothing but the best. Sending peace, love and happiness all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I will keep a look out for your next upload. Peace, ladies!

I love your react when "he is the one" same as me when I watch this scense at the first time in theater(24 years ago).

Magy, since Laura likes Keanu Reeves, maybe it's time to let her watch the movie called "Bill and Ted's excellent adventure" and maybe "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey". Let Laura see how young Keanu Reeves is in those movies lol.

I am defo ❤ for Magys guest. Only problem I am as old, or older, than her Gramps. Lovely girl.

I like how the red/blue pill scenario is used in the Barbie movie.
