That film is more relevant today than it was back in 1999. It's a masterpiece!

"Have you ever had a dream Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to awake from that dream. How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?" One of the most profound and philosophical movies I've ever watched, just because of this line.

My personal favourite dialogue in the movie… from when Morpheus was taking Neo to the Oracle. Neo: “so the Oracle is never wrong?” Morpheus: “ try not to think about it in terms or right and wrong. She is a guide… that can help you find the path.” Woah … that’s deep. Masterpiece of a film!

When I saw this movie for the first time I was high as a kite. When the movie went off I was sober and I couldn’t sleep .it made more sense than anything I’ve ever read in a book. I’ve never look at anything the same.

This movie had a tremendous impact of my perception of goes around the world. The depth of the concepts engaged and how they conected them was like an answer that I was waiting for, unfolding in front of me. I was 18 at the time. Even today The Matrix and Revolver are my favourite ones. They make you think and engage in questioning.

this is by far the best analysis ive seen of the first matrix movie! 100 % Complete in all levels. Im going to share this with many of my friends that are to interested in this. You should have more viiiews

The fact that people say the Matrix is inaccessible because of its themes, and amount of exposition are the exact reason why science fiction movies haven't been worth a shit in decades. Things should have gone up from here, the reason they haven't is because of the failure of the sequels.

the difficulty perceiving true reality only occurs when one is unaware their world is a separate world existing along side true reality, where all other known life resides.

What made the Matrix so great is very similar to what made The Dark Knight so great (of course, Heath Ledger's performance also contributed) and also what makes tv shows like Black Mirror and especially Westworld so great. They work well on their own as a movie/show (great stories, well made, well acted etc.), but they also dare to dig into fairly profound subjects that make the viewers think and ask questions, and by working well as a movie/tv show it appeals to a wider audience than books or comics that deal with similar topics. I hope (and actually think) that we're moving towards more of these types of movies/tv shows in the future.

This analysis was as deep and interesting as the movie itself

This film *fucked* me up I loved it. I was at a truly impressionable age when I saw it and the concept of “beneath reality “ and deeper perception really struck me. The nature of truth and reality, it’s still stuck with me. Fukkin legend movie. Funny enough, a few years later, baritone introduced the idea of looking beneath the underneath. Again, deeper perception. Fun stuff.

I have woken up in my own dream before and thought l was awake but l was still dreaming. My brain tricked me three times in one night. Have anyone else had that experience.

that was unbelievable. Thanks for going so in depth. so insightful/entertaining

Great analysis, it had me hooked. Very interesting, thanks.

More of this please, really enjoyed this and the information was spot on unlike many others.

Wow what a great analysis my friend ! Thank you for sharing.

Psychedelics and thinking patterns like shown in this movie have made me realize so much of the reality we live in.

What a video ! congrats. You knew two years ago what a good KZfaq video would become today, cheers from France

Each individual choose their own reality due to their perception. The reality is the manifestion of thoughts that dominant by perception. Perception consists of sensory of experiences. The mind system control sensory of exoefiences. The mind system create thoughts. The intention determine the projection of thoughts. I need to think

Best review for The Matrix.

Within the first 2 minutes your thoughts about intelligent action films sets yourself way above the other matrix analyses I was looking at

Absolutely outstanding analysis. Thank you. More please.

Extremely quality breakdown thank you

Its like the difference between being an employee and a business owner

Great video. This was fun and fascinating.

A couple things I'd like to note: I believe it isn't The Matrix that misunderstood Baudrillard's work but rather Baudrillard that misunderstood The Matrix. If his foundation for such a belief is that the matrix is distinguishable from reality, his belief is mistaken as the matrix is only distinguishable to those in the know. Those living within the simulation are entirely ignorant to the nature of their reality. From their perspective, the matrix IS reality. Therefor there is no distinction. His work falls apart if we're to define simulacra as indistinguishable even with the knowledge of the "deeper reality" extending beyond it. Think Inception and their totems. They use totems to tell if they're still dreaming. Without the totem, they might get lost within the dream or simulation. And yet their knowledge of the circumstances of the simulation itself enables them to determine the state of their reality. Knowledge breaks the illusion. The same is present in The Matrix. Additionally the idea that Neo isn't "The One" and that Morpheus was dogmatic and misinformed is kind of inaccurate. This belief is predicated upon the idea that what The Architect and The Oracle say is absolute truth. Simply put, just because Neo is ALSO an anomaly and has had what would be considered predecessors does not mean Neo isn't also unique to himself and functionally indistinguishable from "The One." He's shown time and time again to be divergent from his previous iterations as well as the expectations of those who believe they control him. What The Architect says will happen ultimately falls short and Neo ultimately does exactly as he was foretold to do. On a similar note, the idea that Morpheus lost faith in The Oracle and her prophecies is shown in the second film yet it is predicated on the belief that The Oracle was being 100% literal when explaining the future. That The One would reach The Source and the war would end. Because Neo is successful and the war doesn't end immediately, it's shown that The Oracle must have lied and that Morpheus must have been mistaken in his belief. And yet Neo DOES IN FACT return to The Source in physical form later on, defeats Smith, and ends the war. The prophecy DOES come true. Just not in the way and at the exact time Morpheus expected it to. The Oracle didn't say Neo would reach The Source and the war would be over 'immediately'. The problem wasn't The Oracle's words but Morpheus' expectation and interpretation of them. In the same way that The Merovingian refuses to give up The Keymaker and on their way out Persephone intercepts them. The Oracle never once told a lie to the humans. She was always right. Therefor Morpheus was always right for believing in her.

Nicely done bro! ✊🏽🇨🇱

Great job on the philosophical aspects of the film , in my opinion what made the matrix a great film was the fact that everything in the film had more then one meaning. It went into the metaphysical as well as everything else.

I'm a simple man. When I see a Matrix video, I click.

I first heard about the movies in high school, and I was told they were the best action films ever, but never watched till 2005-06. So yeah, I first watched for entertainment. But after seeing the style and fashion, I stayed. After seeing the story and how deep it is, it became my favorite trilogy.

Amazing video ❤️

I could never get over that ending where neo blocks all thoes punches 🤣🤣🤣

excellent breakdowns, however you missed a golden opportunity to delve into Sartre and Existential Freedom, Bad Faith and Authenticity during the segment on Choice that dealt with Cipher.

this shit just helped me with my philosophy midterm lmao

Great analysis.

4:19 This seems like a good video but having studied Descartes with one of the best philosophy professors one could hope to find (Janet Broughton) I would say that you are misunderstanding what the quote "I think therefore I am" means. Descartes started with that quote and used it to go all the way to confirming that there must be a benevolent God and that our senses must be accurate. Not because we can think about reality, as you say here, but because he deduced from "I think therefore I am," through a long chain of reasoning, that there must be a benevolent God would not allow us to be deceived. But otherwise Very Cool video~😎🦹‍♀️😎

I am a schizophrenic and I frequently have ideas of Matrix, Truman show, solipsism etc

the music timing was brilliant

16:59- The Banyan tree of wisdom! :) I wonder if the artist was consciously alluding to a tree or even the legendary tree under which Buddha attained 'enlightenment', or whether it was an unconscious result.

Could a movie have told any more truth without letting the viewer really know whats going on?

Good job. that was very good

Would love to see you analyze Dark City this same way.

The shots in this movie are beautiful .

Excellent thank you Sir

At last an intelligent aproach to this film! What about a video of "Batman begins". I´ll follow yow. Congrats!

This has to be the best analysis of The Matrix I've seen. There is nothing more to say about it. I must say personally I actually enjoyed parts 2 and 3 as they progress technologically in each movie hence each movie starts to stretch out the overuse of CGI each time Neo is plugged in. The complete trilogy totally knocks my socks off. Excellent analysis again my friend. Have a great day or night wherever anyone is. The above is only my opinion though, before I get trolled 😆

Wow ,i am enlightened!!

"The Matrix is surely the kind of film about the matrix that The Matrix would have been able to produce." Baudrillard

Interesting. The only criticism I've ever heard regarding this movie is that someone didn't understand it. Literally just one person. Now the SEQUELS are a whole other story but the Matrix is probably one of the few movies that I've seen get tons of praise and I actually agree with it

*Hindu's Sanskrit Shlokas used in The Matrix Revolution movie* ‘ *Navras*’ is a song from The Matrix Revolutions soundtrack by goa trance band Juno Reactor, composed by Don Davis and featuring vocal elements by Lakshmi Shankar and Azam Ali. The song contains an adaption of the Asato ma mantra found in the *Hindu* sacred text the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, section I.iii.28, used in the soundtrack of the movie trilogy The Matrix. The name Navras might refer to the notion of nine rasas (nava rasa) in Sanskrit aesthetics. *Lyrics* Asato ma sad gamaya (From untruth lead me to truth) Asato ma sad gamaya tamaso ma jyotir gamaya (From darkness lead me to light ) mrtyor mamrtam gamaya (From death lead me to immortality) -Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Asato ma sad gamaya Asato ma sad gamaya tamaso ma jyotir gamaya mrtyor mamrtam gamaya **The women’s lyrics (**1:45**-**1:59**) remain unknown.** Umasa Detore bappaï iyo Dessare bae gae iyo Nanana sulle baghu gabbaï iyo Dessare bae gae iyo Umasa Detore bappaï iyo Dessare bae gae iyo Om shanti shanti shanti Om shanti shanti shanti Om shanti shanti shanti om… (Let there be peace everywhere.

Know Theyself is the principal teaching of Ancient Kemet (Egypt). This pre dates Greek culture.

this is a great intro to the matrix, and i enjoyed watching it. i do have a difference of opinion on one topic: the interpretation of the film with regards to jean b (never can spell his name). he did not like the way the film interpreted his work, and i think that is because the film (and ultimately all 3 films certainly do this) reject his conclusions. i don’t see it as a hollowed out copy of his book. i see it as commentary that his book is mostly empty. i think the films are a hopeful rejection of nihilism, and they make more than enough references to his work to ensure that there is no confusing their rejection of his philosophical conclusions. anyhow, that’s my attempt to explain it, and hope it makes sense. best wishes to you.

Cool, you would never notice it in the movie, this is the first time I noticed it, but in the 'woman in red' scene, when they freeze the program, most of the people are repeated, flipped or both. What I find strange is that if I was standing there for real, I know, as most people would, that I would notice repeated people walking around me. Interesting

*The Matrix was perfection itself---a thinking person's series* 🍃❣🍃

What happened to this channel? I want more of this - such a great work.

Great analysis! But I do find Neo to be the one. I don’t doubt Morpheus’ dogma as you stated which was mentioned to be false in part 2. How could he not be the one when he’s able to do extraordinary capabilities unlike anyone else? In terms of choice and the illusion of that as presented by the Architect, I saw him not only as the villain but a manipulator as well. He pressures Neo to try to make the wrong choice. This here also shows the one going beyond the rules and authority, and making his path. Ultimately, mankind is saved. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Excellent video. Thoughts on matrix 4?

it depends on the level of intelligence of a person is whether a person will understand the matrix or not. It's not until I went through some of my computer classes that some of it made sense. For example, how an anti-virus works or virus replicate or what is an OS. The philosophy part of the matrix still eludes me.

what was the music used in this video because I really like it

The Matrix is simple to understand, in fact I already thought of it myself 5 years before the movie was made.

I think the same goes for all movies and experiences. Some see meaning in everything and some in nothing. For example the Movie SPLIT and STARWARS are both very spiritual for me and for a lot of people just entertainment.

Bullet time actually started with the blade movie featuring Wesley snipes

On the one hand, I totally agree that the Matrix has no idea what Boudriliard said, and crashed together incompatible philosophies. However, one must always be careful when referencing these sources, that one doesn't let the language trick you into unquestioningly internalizing the self-rationalization of the unhappy burguoise philosopher who wrote it.

A life changing trilogy and a superb analysis. Have your ever considered the Matrix in the context of Jane Robert's book 'Seth Speaks'?

What is the name of the soundtrack please.🙏

What is the name of soundtrack that plays at 3:55

Neo goes through the whole second moving ignorant as hell. "I don't know" "What do you mean?" over and over.

Does anyone know the name of the song with the woman singing, or what type of music it is?

I do not remember ever smelling anything in my dreams. You?

Many Possibilities, We Didn't Even Go The Alternate Universe Route.

When they stop and walk cause the red or green, is it really because of the danger? Or is danger and illusion used to make you perceive it that way. The red &green light in fact is used to control you.

Spelling is actually George Berkeley but pronounced as "Barkley".

I can't find any video on original Matrix trilogy scenario, I can't believe there's no video in english on this subject. After the first part, Wachowski brothers simplified story of sequels VERY much to please the masses and make more money. Original story of trilogy was very dark, the ending could be more dark and twisted than Fight Club. Fuck! It was so good, I want to see a movie based on original story.

Did the directors come up with the story or was it a book or bunch of writers etc? If they came up with it I feel like we need to know more about them as they created something so special it’s ridiculous

Which one is best from the series? Which one is this???

I can’t believe I watched this as a child.

What’s the comic strip to the right of ghost in the shell depicted at the beginning ?

According to youtube, people are very interested in the 18:09 to 18.26 section of this clip... hm, " awakening ", " enlightenment " (..?). Nah, it's a tried and tested field already. Buddhism was banned in Joseon Dynasty Korea, for example, as " a sham ". See the work: " Various treatises concering Buddhism " or " Various arguments against Buddhism " as a piece of literature at that time, as one of the main works behind the government's complete banning of Buddhism, including no monks allowed near the Capitol (capital). Considering that 18:09 is so popular, ok, then people are thinking " how can I become enlightened " or " how can I achieve an awakening ", similar to Neo in The Matrix. Ok that makes sense, people seek the truth, so then they check Buddhism, check hundreds of movies, check interviews Etc. Etc. Theoretically, to achieve a real enlightenment, then we have to stay within hard facts, and Buddhism isn't known to be a factual religion. It has some concepts of Karma, reincarnation, although the " enlightenment " is more like spacing out in a trancey way, they don't acquire any new level of truth, they just " space out ". The simulation theory in The Matrix is similar to entering a game, like if we created a super-real VR game 200 years later, which has been addressed in other discussions & videos, such as: " 2016 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: Is the Universe a Simulation? " However their central idea [in the 2016 MIT Harvard Etc. debate] is that the entire universe is simulated more or less from the point of the start of the universe, which was 13.1 billion years ago according to our measurements. So it's like the simulation started back then with the laws of physics and finite x amount of energy and matter (our universe... with '60 Petaflops' of energy, a finite amount, not infinite). That's not ' a game ' it's just like " hitting start " 13 billion years ago, then that's all. And if that's true, it's like, " so what "... what's the difference? There's two worlds, the other world is separate and 'above us' or 'alongside us' for 13 billion years!. ?. In The Matrix they can exit and enter the world like every day, so it's very different. There will probably be some unhealthy kids 200 years later inside a VR simulation which forget that they are in there, then someone needs to turn off the computer, and they are suddenly outside of their VR after 1 week or 2 weeks in the VR。 A good video on the topic of the game-like simulation, is " What If the Earth Does Not Exist? " by Riddle. Available in youtube. However, the more serious concept, that a simulation started 13.1 billion years ago by our measurements, which simply runs & that's all, could possibly reach evidence sooner or later which is discussed in the 2016 panel debate, i.e. some sort of sensitive instruments which measure " cosmic energy particles " which tear the fabric of spacetime, so those instruments reach evidence that there is a spacetime, which can in fact... be torn.

Y'all know that Jean Baudrillard wasn't a fan of The Matrix, right? It fundamentally mistook his ideas in Simulacra and Simulation...

It is not even hard to understand. It is fucking awesome

Who knows what youtube video about the matrix theorises about the color of the shirts they wear in zion? I saw it a while ago, can't find it anymore. The reviewer said if i remember correctly that the blue shirts (trinity, neo and so on) are programs and red shirts (morpheus, niobe and mifune) are humans. It was linked to the blue and red pill, like color coding. Someone please help me.

Yea sure they want simpler plots. They dont want us to think.

what you call the music from 1:10 till 2:10 ? Thanks..

NY Times didn't like the Matrix? That's a 'tell'.

I cant ever see the shot where morpheus says 'you think that's air you're breathing?' The same ever again after The Matrix Farts

Thank you for this truth!! Gods holy spirit is upon you!!! We are the true children of our God, God of abraham an who parted the red sea...

my brain interprets pizza rolls as "good as fuck"

Lock's & Mechanism's.

You can flow with the water or you can. Electrify

First recollection.

"dumb down" why that? :thinkingemoji:

"There is no spoon."

11:56- If Disneyland is a simulacrum made possible by capitalism, then what about instrumental music, which predates Capitalism? Instrumental music is also a representation of itself, with no lyrics to tie it down to lived events. I can understand the argument that someone would give about abstract paintings, claiming they were made possible due to the capitalist era- US being an important site- but what argument would you give about instrumental music?

Part 2 - hope yall like this one to!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNqKe7tz0K7MY2Q.html

they're sisters now

ha, neo's 'another one'

What's not to understand..I got it, they explain it in the dialogue if anyone couldn't understand its not complicate to understand

what’s the song @ 04:25 please

Consciousness is the only thing that is real in the universe.

I don't think the Matrix misunderstood Baudrillard at all (who BTW was carrying on a long line of thoughts from other philosophers - see The Mind's I for example). The hyperreality of the entire Matrix cycle (not just the Matrix simulation itself) is the simulacra that has replaced what was there before (machine/human co-existence) which replaced what was there before (pre-AI) and so on. It's all new systems of control replacing old systems of control, an allegory to our real world.
