(I mean, Ewan McGregor was fantastic casting. And then he was cast as a Jedi in "Men Who Stare At Goats" also, which was a wonderful, fun movie. Other than that, though... *farting noises*)

I love Keanu Reeves as Neo, but I have to admit the idea of Brandon Lee playing Neo is very intriguing, particularly given his martial arts background and the fact that he was really coming into his own as an actor before his untimely death.

I was in film school right after this came out (2002) and the bullet time scene is incredibly influential in film history because if was one of the key scenes that proved the concept that computers could be used in camera effects to be more than just making digital shapes and Animations. My roommate, who now works in VR, was obsessed with it and we spent a LOT of time talking about it. It was a huge deal at the time and is one of the things that led to things like image stabilization being standard, facial tracking for apps and effects, and many things we use every day. It's kinda a bummer that it's become spoofed to the point of being an old meme.

"Why couldn't they just tell Neo it was all a computer simulation?" They could, but what good would that make? Even if he believed them, where to go from there? He would never fully appreciate the implications unless he experienced the reality of it himself. Also, from a storytelling perspective, Neo is the audience's PoV character. It's important that things are *shown* to him, not just told, so that they're also shown to the audience - who, let's be honest, includes a fair amount of people who would have never understood the Matrix otherwise.

I remember the first time I saw The Matrix - the only thing I knew before watching it is some people around school talking about it as a 'this movie about hackers' (in hindsight they obviously had not seen it at the time). So I started watching it with that mindset - 'a cool movie about hackers'... First couple of minutes - confirmation, hackers doing hackety things. Then some scenes where obviously reality mixes with dreams, and there's probably more tech and science-fiction to it - all right. At the point where Neo was extracted from the big ol' charger and literally picked up by an oversize arcade machine claw, I had my jaw firmly on the floor with utter bewilderment - and it stayed there until the end of the movie.

I always fought him on the tracks and jumped last minute to make it as close to the movie as I could. Also, when you fight smith in the final fight, you can jump when he flies through the wall and it plays an animated cutscene akin to how Neo jumps over Smith as he flies through said wall. I always thought that was cool that it’s not scripted and you only get it if you jump like in the movie.

Predator would like a word as well.

I saw it for the first time in early 2020 in a movie theater, right before COVID. Can confirm it still rocks, even for newcomers.

So Grant Morrison is responsible and the originator of The Matrix plot. Good to know!

So Grant Morrison claims to be… FTFY

I was in Basic training when this move came out. It blew my mind. This was a pivotal moment in cinema. Going to watch the Matrix now, last time I did was in the theater. Thanks guys.

That video game head kick bonk was absolutely perfect

I love the Matrix Trilogy sm. Can't wait for the 4th one.

My local cinema showed the first one for the 20th anniversary, was pretty neat because coincidentally I was born on the same day. Felt like it was especially for my birthday lmao

Saw this opening day in Brooklyn in the theater and there were only like five people in the audience with me. We all had LOW expectations - the trailers weren’t great- and we just wanted to see a sci-fi movie matinee. Our minds were BLOWN. After the movie we all gathered in the lobby and started geeking out about the film. We were strangers then, but some of us are still friends. I called all my friends (no real internet or texting then) and begged them to see the Matrix. I also got to see the film months later when it opening in Rotterdam - another amazing experience. But that… is another story.

@@mrsundaymovies that’s a great idea! We don’t all live in the same city any more, but some of us might be able to do it.

There are some key fight scene moments are DIRECTLY pulled from Jet Li-starrer "Fist of Legend."

You guys need to review the animatrix, that would be a great video

The "Wachowskis at 18 and 21" bit took me a second, but really got me

I find myself rewatching your shows, and they are still enjoyable and funny. Well done for producing something interesting enough to be rewatched. On the Matrix I find it better each time I watch it, such a great film

I thoroughly enjoyed Enter the Matrix. I played the hell out of it on 360 or PS2 or whatever it was on.

The thumbnail got a Neo-esque "whoa" out of me. Now I understand the point of going with that image.
