What is your favorite scene from The Matrix?

You know that movie is good if people are still trying to figure out its meaning after 20 years...

You missed the significance of the little girl. She's important to the story because, remember, she was there at the end talking to the Oracle after the Architect. I've read somewhere that she was the result of the machine's discovering love and she was given power to create the next Matrix. Notice that the little girl runs up to the Oracle at the end and points at the beautiful sun rise. The Oracle asks "Did you do that?" and the little girl nods her head and says "For Neo". She created the sun rise with love for Neo.

The Matrix universe was so deep . Way ahead of it’s time.

"Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without."

This might be the single most helpful peice of Matrix media ever made

That was really interesting, but I still think that multilayer Matrix theory is closer to the truth. So like as it is known, 1st version of the matrix failed because basically it was all flowers and happiness, no suffering whatsoever. Human brain quickly realized that world is not real and so matrix failed. Then, the Architect created 2nd version - the nightmare version, where people had to go into hiding, they had to fight monsters for survival... but this time also human brain realized all of it was not real, and matrix failed again. So the Oracle was created to figure out what is causing the issue. And it turned out people need choice, or at least an illusion of a choice. And so there were created 2 layers of matrix - one is a replica of the world we know, the other was a nighmareish version which was kinda closer to the reality itself, where people struggle in war against the machines. Firstly people were loaded into the first layer (the world we know), and after some time subconsciously were given a choice to accept or deny that world as real. As we know from the movies 99% of responders accepted it as real when given the choice. Remaining 1% were allowed to be transfered into the nightmareish layer, where they fight for survival. And to make 1st layer feel more real, they granted all the programs in it a choice. The Merovingian was created to find all and any exile programs, and send them to... recycle bin... somewhere where they would be deleted. But having the ability to choose, he decided to keep some programs at his own disposal. But despite all the effort, still that wasn't enough as after quite some time people were still realizing that all of it was not real. It caused matrix to malfunction and fail once more. Machines couldn't figure out what exactly is causing disbelief and simply called it anomaly. In order to prevent future malfunctions and failures caused by anomalies, which as the calculated would repeat periodically, Architect and Oracle created prophecy and gathered around it all those denying first layer. So what happens in the trilogy is basically a round of game of chess between Architect and Oracle. They are both designed to keep the matrix in working condition, but their approaches are different. The Architect want to keep cycling - finding the anomaly and making him to do the ultimate sacrifice and reset the program. Oracle want to create some kind of peaceful existence in both layers - something like the first version was. So when Smith dies in the first movie, she messes his mind up, gives him new purpose. That is why in the end after Smith infects Neo and gets deleted we see that the body of Smith who infected turns back into Oracle's body. And thats what the Architect means by saying her she is playing a dangerous game and its just a matter of time how long that peace will preserve. If you read all this up to this point, I would like to thank you, and I hope this makes sense to you.

The 6th version of the matrix is different from previous version because of Neo's love interest, Trinity, which was the Oracle's idea/manipulation to see where this will lead in the 6th version. You can see the architect confronting the Oracle in the final scene about this choice. The One did not fall in love in all previous versions therefore he obviously chose to save Zion. I believe the message Matrix wants to tell us is that love is powerful and love can save the world.

Have to say the Matrix is definitely one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. It's just perfect and totally captivating and totally upped the game for sci-fi. I honestly think if the matrix wasn't made we wouldn't have so many other great movies around today that were inspired by it.

It’s interesting how in the first movie it’s Neo who acts as a rogue element in the Matrix with Agents being the ani-virus, while in the end the roles get reversed and Neo needs to become the anti-virus to the Smith malware.

It was announced they are making a 4th matrix movie which is what brought me here

What if I told you, you're actually in a matrix? "The Matrix" Was a documentary.

I'm just realizing I didn't understand a thing

I remember me and my friends catching a bus then walking 2 miles to go watch The Matrix. Good times.

Watching this movie I noticed how Neo wasn't so quick to share his experiences to the people around him whilst discovering himself and I think that's the most important part. This clearly states that make sure you build a proper foundation of your new beliefs so you are not easily thrown off you mandate.

Idk why but I got into watching it again and out of nowhere, EVERYONE started watching it again. It's like my gut told me about the celebration of this series ... I'm glad to have revised it

“Neo there’s a difference between knowing the path, seeing the path, and walking the path.”-Morpheus

Mobile Ave is the recycle bin file before they are deleted.

This is without question the best Matrix explained video I have ever seen and appreciate your comparison s to different PC programs to simplify it for anyone. Kudos sir. 🙏

Growing up watching the franchise coz it was awesome but only until now 20 years later I fully understand the entire story. Thank you.

You just cleared up 20 + years of confusion 👌

You should have mentioned the bit where the bouncer says to Seraph "it's wingless"... as Seraph was from one of the first versions of the Matrix which had heaven and hell.

You’re the Neo of KZfaq-sent to be our savior in understanding the meaning of The Matrix movies. Incredible video.

My all-time favorite is when Trinity doesn't believe that Neo is dead and she kisses him, and Neo comes back to life with all these powers living off of love!:-)

Oh cool. It only took me like 15 years to finally understand this series (watched the original for the first time right before Reloaded came out) Thank you :D

Dude you're amazing, that was an excellent explanation for one of the most complicated movie franchises off all time.

So good man. Soo good. While certain things were always a little confusing I always thought as a whole it made sense on a basic computer programming level, but your visuals and descriptions of code function make it even better. Very well done!

In the end, people's interpretations of this movie will be as diverse as our own species.

For those that enjoy a movie mindfuck, this is one long orgasm. Excellent breakdown sir, thank you.

Hell yeah! Absolutely love The Matrix series. Thank you so much for your hard work! This is great!

EXCELLENT break down man!! Best one I’ve seen over the years!!

Loved the programming example that you tied in. Nice work.

Really good video, wasnt expecting to learn so much or for it to have this much detail, but it turned out to be great. thanks for making it.

Theory: john wick series is just another simulation in the matrix; seeing as the most of cast are similar and they're multiple scenes that contain the same monochromatic green theme

can't wait for Matrix 4, announced recently. the visual effects, fight sequences, mind-bending storyline, the kick-azz soundtrack, all of it!

Thanks! I got a more in-depth understanding of the The Matrix. I'll be rewatching the trilogy when I have the time.

You requested what you missed, however this is a pretty good job. Overall I'd say it gets an A. The Merovingian "beta" os analogy was pretty good. However, they never define his or Seraphs 'old' roles. The thing you may have missed is when Persephone tells us he was once, "like Neo". I believe all this is to set the fallen angel stage for the Merovingian to represent the devil in Club Hell. We know that Seraph is a "protector" (Angel) and that the Merovingian is a trafficker of information in the Trilogy times. The trainman is the ruler of the purgatory space. This plays a part in the answer to your trainman Mobile ave riddle. You absolutely got the 'limbo' part right. If you understand that the Merovingian represents the devil, then it is no big jump to assume that the Merv was responsible in crashing the first version of the Matrix, as that 1st version represents the paradise or 'Garden of Eden' version of the Matrix. How did the devil crash Eden, trafficking information against the rules via the apple of knowledge. The Merv then starts to collect other exiles during the dark version of the Matrix. This would likely be the stage where "limbo" is created for the purpose that we agree on. I like the USB drive analogy but the problem with it, is that you then ask how did Neo get on the drive? Because of this, I viewed mobile ave as a black market radio signal or digital broadcasting 'limbo' in between the radio or wireless waves & the Matrix broadcasting network. Do not forget that when they "jack in", the ship that the red pills are on still has to broadcast/hack the Matrix wireless network. All the pieces are there. The ships don't hardwire into the Matrix, they have to reach 'broadcast depth' as Morpheus called it. Neo Jack's himself into the Matrix Mobile ave station without the use of a telephone or being 'jacked in'. Its Technopathy. The difference between Xmens Apocalypse villain and Neo is that after Neo meets the Architect (who tells us Neo is hybrid), then his skills go wireless in the real world. He gains admin lvl access in the Architect office because he is supposed to reset the entire system. You can even see his wireless range when the machine city is hurling the bombs at the ship. His 'admin' permission access/powers got upgraded when Neo meets the Architect because he is supposed to then reset the Matrix. By not resetting, Neo still has full administrative level permissions. In that same conversation with the Architect we are also informed Neo is not exactly human. In the same way we see the program Smith take over a human host. Now when Smith takes over Bane, he does not have Architect admin password, he doesn't even have the Oracle's eyes yet (which is the balancing act to Neos upgrade) so Bane has 0 wifi access. At this same time in the film, Neo wirelessly connected to the underground matrix aka Mobile ave station which serves as the backdoor to the Matrix. They tell us Neos neural pattern is like being jacked in, but he is not plugged in. Hence, no hardware interface required for Neos wireless connection. At this time Morpheus asks them to search the Matrix for Neo which proves the ship is at a broadcast depth.They also clearly let you know the Trainman is 'god' of that space & that's the only area that is proven to be a 2nd construct by the films when the Trainman kicks Neos butt. Neither Bane or Neo can fly or have enhanced physical powers in the real world. There is a really good Matrix comic that used to be on the Warner bros site. "Let it all fall down" by Paul Chadwick. I can only find it in Spanish online nowadays but I thought it was really about what Neo is. Kind of has this Tron manifested 'iso' flavor to it. But yea, was sad when they pulled the plug on Matrix online & scrubbed the site off. There was tons of good fan art & information there. I could dig up some game footage links if you really & truly care to see it.

You broke this groundbreaking movie down very nicely! Bravo!! I learned so much that I didn’t truly appreciate from a technical standpoint. 😘

Amazing video! 12th run on the matrix trilogy and I'm understanding new things. Thank you

Crazy to think I was 3 years old when the matrix first came out. Now I'm 24 and am stupidly excited for The Matrix 4

Out of all the Matrix Trilogy reviews, this one really stands out to me. Bravo to the outstanding details you went to explain the Exile Programs. I’ve watched this movie a few times in my life and never quite grasped it the way you did. My mind is officially stimulated. 🙏🏼🔥

I wish we could go back to those days when the matrix first came out. Good times

The matrix hit a generation that felt absolutely trapped in a modern society that felt like a dream. It hit on the desire to wake up. That idea that no no... This isn't real... There has to be a way out. That's the root of it. The idea that this place where all this suffering is can't be real and that we can escape it. N it plays heavily on the religions of Christianity and Judaism.

Thumbs up on the vista and blue screen reference! Nice!

Wow - for years I wanted to hear someone break this movie down in this such way but couldn't really finalize, describe to myself or even begin concretizing into any form of thought to be based on establishable meaning.... But you sir, *executed* my vaguely-connecting construct of a vision into MUSIC FOR MY EARS! If I had a hat, I'd tip it to your direction but so I hope this metaphysical representation of one - gets the messege across to you, still carying the attached emotional warth, mister-good sir... 🎩 Thanking you kindly...Sincerely yours, heartfelt-felt 🐵 subscriber-at-first-sight, if you will...🙇

So much potential for sequels or prequels. 20 years has been a long enough wait. PLEASE make this happen.

Awesome explanation ! thanks so much for making this confusing thing simple!

20 years later and the movie is still spectacular.

I feel like I need to cover the Prime Program. The anomaly is the Prime Program being imprinted onto a human, who becomes "The One". The purpose of The One is to return the Prime Program to the source in order to reload the Matrix. The Prime Program grants The One unique powers, and there is a gradual process by which The One discovers these powers. "Though the process has altered your conscience, you remain irrevocably human..." After understanding the power of the Prime Program Neo "kills" Smith, which imprints part of the Prime Program onto Agent Smith. This part of the Prime Program is what gives Smith his powers in the 2nd/3rd movies. If Neo had the entire Prime Program when he was jacked into the source at the Machine City, the Matrix would have reloaded immediately, but because Smith has part of the Prime Program, Neo must bring the entire code together by being "assimilated" by Smith.

My favorite scene is the end in the hallway when Neo just says "No". Music and sound design are amazing!

Thank God someone explained this ,I went crazy for years trying to Mk sense of this movie 🙏♥️ thank you

9:45 blew my mind thank you so much.

The original Matrix was so good man, still holds up 🔥

How has the programmer not lost his shit. 6 times he has worked on this program. No wonder programmer are cranky lol

Man, was so ahead of it's time! The GRAPHICS were like WOW WTF at the time!! And tbh, they hold up! Great movie!

I guess I’m very late, in that I’ve only just finally watched The Matrix for the first time today. I really loved it and of course Keanu Reeves is amazing! It’s just alittle difficult to understand. If you like this movie you should watch HBO’s WestWorld! That series is absolutely incredible

you know, ive been wondering for the last 20 years. and you finally gave me the red pill. thanks. i love the wifi theory and it would explain a lot. good video buddy, thanks again.

Although Neo did indeed physically die at the end, I've always believe that his RSI remained inside the Matrix because the first mission of Matrix Online was to find fragments of Neo's RSI, and the RSI was later partially reconstructed by the machines and displayed in a club, so it's clear that some digital artifacts of Neo remained inside the Matrix. I've theorized this in comparison that Neo was able to project himself in Mobil Train Station even though he wasn't connected to anything. It's also clear in Revolutions that those two parts can be separated (his physical vs his digital artifact). Neo's death is clearly hinted at with the cross light metaphor of the Christ when the machines send the "kill code" for Agent Smith (whether it's a kill code specifically for Agent Smith or just killing the body of Neo remains up to debate, but we can clearly see the highlighted sending of a command from the Deus Ex Machina' to Neo via the glowing wires just a moment before Agent Smith is deleted). However, since Neo is clearly a messianic figure like the Christ, he may resurrect. And indeed, in the Matrix Online game canon, there were clear hints that he did, under the traits of Sarah Edmontons (the mystery bluepill woman) who had awaken from a coma. Morpheus acknowledged that Neo's body had not been recycled, and the fact that "Sarah Edmontons" is an anagram for "Thomas Anderson", it was widely believed that she was somehow Neo, the One. Furthermore, on one Machines' set of critical missions, it turned out that Edmontons does not exist in any known database, therefore also supporting the speculation that Edmontons is Neo.

Loved your analogies. Great job!

Nice video you did everyone a favour, we NEEDED this, i read so much about matrix and watched so many videos but this is a very good summary of everything matrix related, so thanks to you good sir

This video is awesome! Great work and nice ideas!

This was sooooo good man! Together with the info and the effects you made the video super interesting and easy to follow! Kudos!

I don’t need this explained, seen it with my own eyes over the last 2 years

I needed this recap, with the upcoming new matrix movie. Thanks a lot

a great video! love the theories. personal theory ive been partial to is that, everything is in the matrix. even zion. that the architect says that everything, including the rebellion was accounted for in the different versions, so he created elements that the humans will think is "reality" when it is actually just another part of the matrix. so when they are on the ship or in zion, its just another layer that the matrix is using as control. that there is no out.

I live the Matrix I also study the Bible, I found similarities. In my opinion, I believe that when the Architect spoke about the sixth version he was referring to the sixth dispensation of time where each dispensation is a thousand years since Adam and Eve. In each dispensation there was a government that ruled the world. Six dispensations, six world governments ruling the people who are considered as crops in the Matrix.

Best explanatory video on matrix ever Good job, congrats!

This explanation is unlike others as this is done with a programmer perspective. Thank you!

The Matrix spin off now it’s John Wick

The humans were originally not a power source, but rather a hive mind (like a human supercomputer) but the studio execs thought movie-goers wouldn't get the concept.

How Neo ends up in Mobil Ave: - As suggested in the fandom theory, Neo has a wireless connection directly to the Source (maybe from when he destroyed Smith in the first film or when Smith tried to infect him and he's able to resist it) - When in the real world he accesses the Source to destroy the sentinels and he falls into a coma, the Source immediately identified as a rogue programme and marked for deletion - Mobil Ave is a backdoor used by the Merivingian and the Trainman to traffic rogue programmes, these programmes may be acquired by a kind of file corruption which prevents them from being deleted, ie. they are rejected by the recycling process and fall into Mobil Ave (interestingly this is how red pills are extracted from the Matrix: they are marked for recycling, ejected from the pod, then picked up by the Zionite resistance) - This process may cast a wide net, and because Neo is not an AI but a human, he is rejected and ends up in Mobil Ave

WoW ... you just did something incredible ... make this matrix mess into something logical and explainable ... I’m very impressed by the simplicity of how you decoded this trilogy and made it somewhat accessible to the average viewer!! I definitely have a whole new appreciation for the series!! Fantastic video!

Great explanation. This film blew me away when I saw it at the theatre with no knowledge of the story. They did a great job in advertising the film with advertising hoardings posted with the question, "what is the matrix?". It was the quessssstion that Trinity asked Neo. Loved it.

I liked soon as I saw flip intro. Good vid. "The Matrix" is the greatest movie of all time.........

Your programming example actually cleared things up as I was so lost. Haha

I have watched every single matrix explained, this is by far the best. No theory's just plain and simple. You sir, are cuul.

This was a joy to watch. Loved your theories as well, many of them matched my own.

It's been 20 years since this came out wow I feel old

AMAZING video, seriously. Im watching it a second time so i can fully digest what you just put down.

Felt goose bumps and deep breathing after watching this

I thought Neo was the solution (counter-balance) to the anomaly and that Smith was the actual anomaly. He was already exhibiting signs of rebellion from the source before any real interactions with Neo (ie. removing his ear piece while discussing his hatred for humanity). And it was ultimately Smith that was the corruption of the matrix. I could be wrong.

holy hell I thought I recognised the voice I used to love Daves videos on Dark Souls back in the day

Amazing thought process, Thank you.

Great recap of the Trilogy for the new film!

Your telling me my boi Dave wouldn’t be able to make that jump have you seen his Breath of The Wild video he’s hella athletic. Nice video Dave. Keep up the great work.

3:20 - 😂 This is how humanity handles everything. It’s the most realistic part of the Matrix.

Mobile Ave is like a Firewall.. The trainman is the coder of the FW. He decides what goes in/out.. (and the Marovencian is a form of Microsoft OS. A pre-defined program that makes sure MS Defender (Trainman) pops up on every new connection. However this one is corrupt and outdated... (leading to a corrupt Trainman)) Neo was able to use the special powers in the Real World by using a PROXY.. which is a Firewall Bypass :) Thats how i see it :)!

My favorite scene is when rage against the machine track turned on for that iconic fight scene

I've gained a whole new respect and understanding of the Merovingian. Thanks for this! You did great, there's another video that explains the trilogy in a similar manner, but doesn't get down to the nitty gritty like you did. Good work!

Is this what I'm doing today? Watching all 3 extended versions? Looks like it.

Trinity’s bike ridin skills is underrated.

this really really helped me thanks alot mate

I came to realize that the Oracle was actually the first step in "control."

Anyone who saw the first showing of the Matrix back in 1999 will find it difficult to explain to the modern generations just how mind blowing and original the movie really was. An experience I hold as a treasure in my memory forever. Little did I know at the time just how accurate the concept. The scientific evidence that our reality is virtual is growing by the day. When this movie was made only a handful of physicists gave credence to the idea that reality was made of "information" - today there are thousands physicists who believe it is the truth of our reality. It is now speculated that within the next decade material science will be abandoned in favour of the virtual reality view - now know as "information physics".

This video explain everything so well to understand

Great Logical break down from beginning to end

Wow this explanation blew my mind. As a computer science student, I LOVED all the parallels and examples you drew to programming and computers.

Look up Sophia Stewart, she supposedly wrote the original Matrix and Terminator. She's represented as the "Oracle" in the movies; you should research her analysis of the story and you'll be able to understand the vision with a little more... Fluidity. Terminator is the prequel to the Matrix.

Wow very cool to see it from that point of view :) I’m going to rewatch the trilogy and get ready for the 4th one ! Man that trailer gave me chills !
