WATCH MORE - What's the true meaning of the Matrix Resurrections ending? Here's our TAKE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJpjdZt4sNOseJs.html

I didn’t get the sense that they were actually Trinity’s kids, or even that her family were real people. They seemed more like very basic obstacles.

I always thought the kids weren't real. They were probably programs too, easier to control trinity that way

Trinity's need for agency resulted in a romantic connection with Neo, making her dilemma surrounding a similar connection to her children a fitting parallel to the original.

I once sat across from a psychiatrist in a behavioral health unit I had voluntarily checked myself into because of a benzodiazepine addiction that was started originally by being prescribed that medication. This man looked at me after I explained to him what was going on, and said that I didn’t have a right to have problems because I should care about my kids. I’m gonna guess the number of times a man has been told that is roughly 0. And that’s just the tip of the patriarchal iceberg.

As a women you REALLY REALLY REALLY have to think about „wanting“ children. Do you want them or does society tell you to want children ALSO are you willing to pay the price for having children.

Another factor involved in this decision is Trinity's age. Remember, when you are in your 20s, it is more acceptable to be wild and unrestrained, yet typically, "growing up" means settling down. Trinity's arc is a deconstruction of that toxic expectation. Since a good parent of any kind should be so by choice, not fear.

I’m a single dad and I am thankful every single day that I get to wake up early with them and prepare their lunch, take them to school, or just have a conversation with them. One day, they will be adults and I’ll never get to feel this again. I couldn’t imagine a life without my kids and wouldn’t want one.

You're assuming her children are children and not programs themselves.

Children are so often an excuse for parents not to self-actualize while I think the flight safety metaphore drives home the point: First take care of yourself, before you can take care of others. In society's narrative the only way to self-actualize as a woman seems to be to have a family, to be a mother. It should be your true North once you have a family. This makes the excuse of no longer working on yourself because you need to be there for you family acceptabel in society's standards. I know many an empty-nester who now resents their children for the state their life is in now. I think Trinity's choice give another perspective that is as valid for mothers: that taking care of yourself and choosing for yourself is the best for your family.

It will always be better to be working towards breaking out the matrix than to just give up and accept everything as it is. Once you start questioning everything it's unfortunate that you won't be able to stop doing that ever again.

I marathoned the Matrix trilogy before this movie. Resurrections was like indulgent fanfiction and I kinda like it that way. Neo and Trinity have been through a lot, they deserve a happy ending together.

I always thought that the kids were programs. I thought that the take was going to be about, how easy it was for Trinity to abandon her two kids. Regardless they were programs, in the matrix you birthed them and raised them, sure it's not real, but to her it was. It seems just too easy. It would of been a better plot point If she broke free from them, but it effected her drastically, devastating her, even haunting her going forward and how she needs to eventually overcome it, but it still exist as a reminisce of her even though she knows it wasn't real. I felt this movie had so many great ideas and potential, and pretty much threw it away, like the mention of the machines civil war, that would of been cool to seen.

The idea of "escaping the matrix" goes back a long way, thousands of years. The idea of "free your mind" is a huge one in both spiritual and practical ways. One of the bits of advice I gave my two nieces (ff) was to decide what THEY want to be, beyond what their parents and other adults around them have taught them to be. It isn't easy, but if you want to make your own decisions and to really be a free person, you have to try. When I went to see Resurrections and immediately after, the world around me was screaming that it was Trash and not to watch it. I don't know why, but it may have been the politics of transgender or just inside Hollywood stuff. It was also very different from the others, with a huge question from the start: if they were freed, then why are they in this Matrix again? What is missing in the storyline? It was like a puzzle piece taken from one puzzle and dropped into another. Still, the motherhood issue and the obvious referencing to "boomers who had their lives and successes and...now what". Those writers keep us thinking, and in America that's either a good thing or just making us tools of the Matrix.

Siiiisss..!! Well, now that you've gone & thrown Wanda into the mix of this subject, I can't help but point out she's got the opposite treatment of Trinity in this sense- & that's a huge part of why I hated Dr. Strange's Muliverse movie! 😱‼️ Aside from them throwing away almost all of her character development, they wrote her as so obsessed with being the mom of her kids that she'd blindly discard everything & everybody to be with them. The most extreme version of a woman who can't let go of motherhood to reclaim herself. The idea of which would've been fine if she had been well written to take that trajectory, but she wasn't. So it just felt like they hollowed out her character just to say "women be crazy tho, so we need men to handle that s***." 🙄 Wild, thanks for helping me see that. Great video👍

I thought the kids are just bots, not even with proper AGI

You really should do "The Take" On the story character arc of Joan Clayton from "Girlfriends" from seasons 1-8 that would be so cool!!!

If I’m not mistaken, you recently did a video on Phoebe from Friends and why she would make a good mom. As someone who has had an abortion to escape a man who would have killed me (and later killed his girlfriend), the Phoebe video spoke to me deeply because as the “quirky” friend, I absolutely have every desire to have children. But also, I deeply, deeply relate to Trinity in that she chose to not be a mother, but also wondering if I actually want children, or if it’s something I’ve been conditioned to want. I’m so afraid that for as much as I say I want children, once they’re actually here, I will feel like, “…Huh. Kinda see why I didn’t commit to this the first time around”, or “Yknow I think I’ll just disappear for a year to get away from my kids”. There’s also another aspect to this; my own mother was a teen mom and forced to give up her child, and then became a mom at 40, only to wind up as the parent who stayed. I know she loved us, but she could be abusive at times, which makes me wonder if she ever regretted her decision. And that’s the crux of my fear; that I’ll want children after the catastrophic loss of one, but I’ll regret it later, especially if anything ever happens to my child 😢

Trinity just seems to represent the child free movement

I felt like the 4 matrix had some good ideas. Wish the movie was better

And third I guess. But I assumed her kids were fake thus easier to leave.

I assumed the children were actually machines. I've heard in early civilization, the grandparents took care of the kids. This makes sense as you're supposed to have less financial restrictions if you're elderly, but there is still some time before you're incapable, especially if you use your young adult life to remain healthy.

Jane Fonda reminded me of Linda Cardellini in the scenes from the dollhouse movie lol

Its been a while since I've seen this film, but i thought she had 2 kids and a man baby. Plus they weren't real, they were programs designed to keep her in her loop

That thumbnail is wrong, red pill is to leave The Matrix, blue pill is to stay.

Ok finally not about Barbie, but about my personal favorite Matrix - the number 4 one !

The kids weren't real - "that's for using children"

Second and I love the matrix and the take!

I had no idea the kids were real

Thank you for spoiler with the title, I got this in recommended...

Weren't rhe kids this iteration's version of agents?

I really hope this is just an extra obstacle in the conflict. They are not real.

i appreciate the wachowski filmography. what i don't get is why did they feel the need to put a family drama in a very complicated distopian sci-fi movie. i didn't and i still don't get it

Joeanna had support from her husband tyen He got from her

ayeee i'm first for once lol

ABANDON THE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I saw this movie but it must have sucked so much that I forcefully purged it from my mind that I cannot remember anything about it. 😅

If the movie actually wanted to explore Trinity’s dilemma, it should have been already in the movie so audiences got it from the movie, instead of being talked about on KZfaq after the fact.

M4 is so not this deep. Its the weakest link. I really like this channel. Its unapologetically female focus. All the men have issues whilst the women get accused for being wrong. It's entertaining

Nice video but the choice to use footage from a Sandy Hook school shooter PSA to demonstrate kids being shaped into successful members of society at 4:43 instead of any actual back-to-school ad was... interesting

I think this is why a lot of moms, instead of leaving the children, are homeschooling them. It gives them so much freedom. Not for every parent of course. Yet it beats never seeing them to run away 😅 a nice third option!

I'd rather stay in the matrix. The real world sucks

Maybe modern fenininem isn't substantial

What father's being trapped

Responsibility is slavery

Not to be funny but….does this channel ever talk about stories not centered around white women?

They guy who like world dod go into the real world

A woman that abandons her children is selfish. Those children didn’t asked to be born. If a man does the same thing, he’s considered to be a deadbeat Dad, so why are you guys pushing this double standard?

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!

Can we stop demonizing deadbeat dad's

Wow. How did a commie video ended up in my feed? Because I love the original Matrix and hate all the sequels?

I now, more than ever, want to watch this movie. In the same context of breaking free of the matrix, It took me a long time to realize how everything in my life was conditioned for me, to the point that I question if I like something because I actually like it, or if something influenced that in my childhood. I've learned a lot of what I don't want, but as we are not free from this capitalist created hell scape, I am limited in what I can do about it, and can at least not engage in everything that I otherwise had to before.
