The Matrix Has You

Probably, these films know, if not everything, then very, very many. At one time, they knocked on the insides of the sociocultural environment so much that few of the vital citizens of all countries of the world, where there are cinemas and pirate DVDs on sale, left with an intact head. Yes, and admit honestly: the main idea, the main basis really fails a certain line under philosophical thoughts, including the 20th century, when the first and most successful part of the trilogy was released. It brings the line very elegant, we can even say “mystically elegant” if someone at least approximately imagined that this phrase means.
No, seriously: after the first part, fireworks are literally arranged in the head from such juicy and color questions, experiences, memories, and now you are interested in doubts: is there a matrix? What if we really are all right here and now in a certain controlled and in fact a fictitious environment and we ourselves do not know about it? Maybe the truth is we all bogged down in the matrix for a long time?

Alas, even if everything is so (and that would be logical, in my opinion), true knowledge will still remain “somewhere there”, behind the facet of our eyes and minds, and therefore all these matrix theories will leave as part of the discussion about films that can be said a lot and a lot in them, despite the status of the status.

So, Mr. Anderson, you are ready to enter the matrix again?

– It all starts with a choice.

The first part of this significant cinema was lit in the in rich films in 1999, blinding all those who saw with the brains all that intellectual chic rebel against the nature system.
Thomas Anderson – a closed employee of a large company. Seconded, untidy, all such Mr. Dolbai, if not even Mr. Poher ..
But at one fine moment, it is tightly grabbed by the eastern-west origin of the egg, compressed, and the result is forced to make in the form of a decision: to live the way it lived, or to know the truth, which is total true this time, without any “but”.
Blue and red pills.
Morpheus.
Trinity.
Matrix.
Pythia.
Chosen.
Agents.
You yourself know everything, is it not so?
And here is the former Mr. Anderson, he is a hacker of Neo, without knowing it, he embodied all the dreams of a brutal black morpheus, having accepted it, without thirsty, the title of chosen and joyful went to save the devil’s devil, in which the miserable world remained – in comparison with the “normal” sizes of the population in the modern world, we say – a bunch of ravings. And sacredly vowed to free everyone from the shackles of the damned matrix … First of all, understanding the gorgeous question: “What is the matrix?»

– I’m trying to free your mind. But I can only indicate the door. You yourself must go free.

What is a matrix? If you believe the film, the matrix is ​​a certain simulation of an ordinary life, in which exactly what happens in the reality usual for all of us. But with one exception: everything is not real. Put a piece of lamb in the mouth – the matrix simulates the taste. We get a hit on the head on the head – the matrix is ​​glad to provide a new type of pain: “Dumb pain, v.6 «. We fall in love – the matrix is ​​glad to serve you ..
Artificial world. And the present there, in the dungeons of cities destroyed by cars. In the city of Zion – the last stronghold of hope for survival. In the first part, the glory of the matrix, this is only mentioned, and therefore the picture does not look as bad as in subsequent creations. And then go understand: either you have to save Zion from smart cars, or the people in the matrix, or their own skin in two worlds, because there and there there are applicants to kill the chosen neo ..

– The choice is an illusion, a line between those who have power and those who do not have it.

And the first part, as already said, is not very bothering about Zion, about the unique forces of the Neo, which he still has to master, and other slag unnecessary for the most part, which will later be in bulk. Everything is simple here: there is a loser of Neo, who, despite all the words of the leader of the Morpheus, is not much like the chosen one, there are agents who hunt for those who from now and in the future hunt those who can be outside the matrix, and there are some vague and changing goals that need to be achieved by all means, so that it looks like a stunning.
The first part is, on my IMHO, the standard of how to competently mix the spectacle and the “smart” part. Being essentially a militant, the “matrix” affects how we have already guessed all of us, very interesting and deep questions, and these questions are quite logical, and the answers are not knocked out of the framework of the invented universe. Everything harmoniously fits into the outline of the world, and, most importantly, you believe in what is happening, because everything sounds very convincing.
On the other hand, you can observe gorgeous action scenes, which even after 12 years look amazing that according to the idea, which is executed. It is absolutely not a sin to revise such scenes and once after time admire the elaboration of everything and everything. And reliability;Again, within the framework of the designated universe.
And it is amazing, like both, and the other looks stylish.

And, it would seem, there is nothing to scold the original at all. A really chic spectacle, from which everyone takes on opportunities … After all, the actor can play exactly as much as his viewer can perceive, isn’t it so? And in this case, no one will go offended, because the cold world of the matrix is ​​so universal that everyone will find a lesson there ..

– You know that I decided in the ten https://sistersitescasino.co.uk/casinos/xl-casino/ years that I am free?
Happiness is in ignorance.

(There was a Flash player, but since 2020, Flash has not been supported by browsers)

But starting from the very end of the «matrix 1» problems begin.
Problems first of all – and so far just “only” – the nature of the logical. The character of faith. The nature of reliability: after all, they wrap so many newly new ones into the already understood world of the matrix that, making round eyes and violently clapping eyelashes, almost taking off, I want to lean only one question: “What the hell did it need?».
There is no answer.

The second part is gorgeous in terms of action movie. Perhaps there was no such elegant, beautiful and smart action, no and would not be. He is really powerful, long, incredibly beautiful and memorable. Everyone who watched the second part will probably be called the scene of the chase of agents, policemen and beautiful twins for Trinity, Morpheus and Keys Keeper. A scene of almost 20 minutes, a bunch of drive, tension and style – a good example? Or the fight in the Merovingen Castle Remember? And this film is worthwhile only because of really perfect scenes of an explosive nature, but, alas, for the intellectual component that was in the original, you can not come.

– refutation is the most predictable of human answers.

Something was rotten in the heads of the people who wrote the script. Something is serious.
And the main problem, in my opinion, is that the authors began to invent completely uninteresting nonsense only to justify a beautiful picture.
Merovingen is a program that plays the role of a shelter for those who are somehow useless for the matrix ..
The architect is the creator of the matrix ..
Neo, who now changes the matrix for his needs, while becoming the largest chiter of the world, was completely blown away in terms of interest in his personality – to worry about a hero who is not only bending the main threat of the whole matrix with one finger, it also flies, and the cars in the real world stops with one finger, and life in dying people is instillan imbalanced character who has lost the cute personality of Mr. Anderson and became completely thick -skinned neo?
And why did the same neutonian and stamped choice at the very end of the film were given the same neo: or it allows Trinity, its beautifully beautiful love, to die, but it restarts the matrix and thereby saves people in Zion, or, in fact, saves Trinity and destroys the chance of people to survive? Is it impossible to do this less primitive?
Not to mention small flaws, which in general do not affect the overall picture, but the eyes can call.

It is not entirely clear what the scriptwriters thought. Seriously. And if the world of the matrix in the first part was so skilled, now all this has turned into a pile of deliberately fictitious conditions that exist only in order to justify the brilliant sight … Is it equivalent to the exchange?

And already from this part there was a problem of the presence of Zion and a decrease in interest in what is happening.
If in the original, as we all remember, the narrative concerned only Neu, Morpheus, Trinity, their environment and problems that arose, now the emphasis is still not fatal for the film – made on Zion.
It is necessary to save Zion.
All for the sake of Zion.
We enter the matrix for the sake of Zion.
Zion, Zion, Zion.
And now attention, for the question. And do not forget to turn off the attachment attached from the outside for compassion for the troubles of others.
Who is interested in what is happening in Zion?
Why did someone decide that Zion is more interesting than the personal problems of the Holy Trinity?
Why should it be interesting to worry about the fate of mankind? Especially when there is nearby, all/all and completely invulnerable neo?
I will make a smart face: very rarely when the troubles are large, in this case a huge team is more interesting and more exciting than the concerns of individual personalities. Because the degree of involvement in the problems is much stronger when there are personal attachments to the heroes. And Zion … There are many heroes in Zion, but few interesting ones, and even more so as to somehow compete with Neo and Co., who are always running somewhere in the vastness of the matrix.
I hope you have already fully understood my idea that Zion, interest and Matrix 2 are incompatible things. And unnecessary.
Needless to say, including this situation did not make the film well?

– Any story can have two finals.

In the final part of the trilogy, which was removed simultaneously with the second and went out as much as six months after it, everything became completely terrible. And if the sequel of the original stretched amazing battles, then the third part stretches … Perhaps a couple of phrases of agent Smith at the very end, which resemble in their spirit and depth of reasoning from the first film. But this is not what it is worth watching for 2 hours of total insanity … Correctly, Zion, because there is … there is a little zion in the film … Zion … on the left is also zion … Oh yes, there is a space between the matrix and zion … At the very end, a completely wretched scene of the battle of the NU and Smith that suddenly merged in his abilities, about which a few words later … well, and everything is everything.
The overwhelming part of the third part of the “matrix” occurs outside the matrix, the matrix does not affect at all and not about the matrix at all. Great!
In general, in a good way if, then you need to quote your angry monologue about Zion in the second part here, but it will be too easy.
Therefore, the result: Zion loses to the matrix. In everything. Tchk.
And let the creators spent frantic money on the 17-minute epic moment of the massacre of cars with the army of Zion, and let the fate of mankind, Tram-Tarars decide here, but this is boring, freshly, without that spirit of the “matrix”, for which I personally love the first part and contractions in the second. Everything, or something, in Hollywood is standard, albeit for the eye and nice.
About the fact that some miserable attempts were made to achieve intellectual perfection of the first part, I will say anything, so as not to spoil the mood that for myself, what else to someone. Shame and shame. Especially at the end.

– Nadezhda. This is the most significant misconception of a person, which is both a source of your greatest strength and the greatest weakness.

In the final of the trilogy, everything that was loved, was destroyed by the hands of the creators. I gave you – I will kill you, and, alas, it worked. Neither meaning, nor faith in the opening facets of the universe, no sensible and interesting scenes … «Matrix» did not become very. And the actors, apparently, already understood this, because ..
Where did the chic and gloss of Hugo Wounding, which, between us, is chic a little more than chic, uncle? Where is it through him «Misser Andersson»? Why in the third part he plays not agent Smith-cold, but aggressive, smart, but so cynical and living, despite the fact that the program for destruction, and the stupid clown, which brings up insane faces and only looks like an old-free Smith?
Where is that graceful, unperturbed and confident Morpheus? In the finale, he is a miserable little man, one of his own kind, and never a leader, not hope. Everything that he has left is a blind faith in Neu, and nothing more.
Trinity … Do you remember how sexy she was in the second part? Yes, even in the first. Elegant, flexible, beautiful, sophisticated. And here? Unless in the scene of Meroringen’s “Sentence” she looked one hundred percent, and then … a gray mass, +1.
About the original statists, like all captains of the Lockes and the like, they have nothing to say. As they were nobody, and remained.
I am pleased from the characters except for Nyobe (Niobi … more options?). Although it is not enough, but it is beautiful. And the game with her is good. Here.

– I Will Enjoy Watching You Die, Mister anderson.

I do not remember how the phrase in the first film sounds in the Russian version when Neu is awakening from the fact that the words: “Wake up, neo. The Matrix Has You «.
But if you start independently, literally and without a hint of literary correctness to translate the last phrase, then something like this: «The matrix has you».
And the «matrix» was fucked.
After all, at first it was pleasant, then nothing is so, and at the end of the act became unbearably boring, monotonous and irrelevant.
«Matrix» lost all its elegance. And, alas, the bad in the semantic plan the last two films somehow spoil the whole impression of the genius of the first. And it’s a shame that such a universe by the forces of the notorious films overgrown with a bunch of completely idiotic, unnecessary and did not leave a chance to believe in itself.
Simple offensive.
And agent Smith, who shoots a pistol at the picture just higher, shoots not at anyone, but at the nascent genius of everything and everything, which was killed by those who gave rise to this ALL.
Symbolic, yeah?

The best comments

I do not agree in many ways.

Retreat, you can not read it.
In general, when I saw the first part on TV, I really did not understand what’s what (well, right, I was 8 years old). I thought that some Beliberda is dull and what for it is needed.
Later I saw the second and third part, where I don’t remember, but impressed.
After that I got into the matrix. At first, fights were hooked. They are really virtuoso, epic and, surprisingly, seem “airy” in every sense of the word. Because of his fights, he revised the films again and again, on TV, or, downloaded and watched. But the first part began to pay attention only when he began to grow up.
T.To. The eyes of colorful battle and battles have already bored, and although they caused delight, but every blow was predictable, I began to cling to phrases, for the plot, to delve into the meaning of what was happening on the screen. Not just what is the essence and salt, but by conducting analogies with religion, with philosophy and other. T.e. After, for example, another interesting phrase of one of the main characters, I could plunge into my thoughts, pondering and analyzing it for 15 minutes. Indeed, the matrix has far from one meaning or a couple, as it might seem after the first five views … It contains the main ideas, but it itself is simply full of branches everywhere, which come from the main branch and about which it is worth thinking about. Each time, reviewing the trilogy, I all the time discovered something new for myself! New plot, a new nuance that the filmmakers wanted to pay attention to. The film has thousands of little things. Almost every phrase and every fifth action.
In general, in the end, I finally “mired in the matrix”, replenished the army of fans and saturated with the idea of ​​the film and his spirit.
At least 14 times I watched the whole trilogy whole.

The essence.
The first film is an embryo, this is an idea, its disclosure and a lot of meaning, including philosophical. And I would not say that it is an absolute work of art and the number one film among the entire trilogy, but then, at that time (1999) it really was Epic. Epic, in terms of novelty, ideas in cinema, epic, in terms of special effects. The actors’ game was at the level and corresponded to the spirit of the film almost completely. But no more.
But more and could not be. The third attempt of the Vachovski’s Brothers “to go on a large stage” naturally sponsored quite budget. Few people wanted to put on a film where people will be forced to think so much. Then there were militants with a bunch of explosions, and not a tragomotin with an impenetrable action.
But the idea was very good. Many people picked her up and carried and handed over to each other. They talked a lot about the matrix, discussed both the film itself and the problem that he touched on. Among these people, the directors found support and push in order to continue.
And blame them for subsequent parts is not worth it. After all, these parts could not be at all (even the ending of the first part hints about it). And would you really prefer a story that has not ended all the love of all that has been loved by the whole that was created? Don’t think.
The second part has more action, explosions, a militant and chasing, but by no means less semantic load, practically. After one viewing, it may seem like this, but not after 14 🙂
And the branch and the rod that sprouted in the first part began to branch and “grow” from the plot, but they were part of it, important and integral if you really try to understand the film. Yes, sometimes the pressure from the templates and standards of that time is visible. But this pressure was given such an answer that the audience, and many directors who shot cinema at that time, gasped. It is no secret for anyone that a breakthrough in the cinema in terms of special effects and computer graphics began with the matrix (especially from the second part)?
And the storyline, although it grew, but did not get worse. Yes, more key figures appeared. The camera, as if moving away from the main triple showed the overall picture of what was happening. So that we are not fixated on the same thing that we start to think and understand. To think not linearly. Hence both Zion and its other residents and other actors.
And of course, the further the camera “moves away”, the more we need to observe the overall picture of what is happening, and not focus on the same trinity, which, although it is a key figure in the war, is by no means without the support of the “rear”.

Many scold the subsequent parts for little. But you will take a closer look and listen to them. You liked that in the first part a bucket of intellectual products and sayings poured you on you, because when directors and screenwriters began to hide the meaning in the dodgy and “branches” of the main plot branch, you, of course, did not find them, or finding with great difficulty, began to resent because they saw only the action.

P.S. «You» is me for those who are of the opinion of Emiel.

And you are aware that the directors did not want to shoot the continuation of the matrix?
This was clear from the ending when the essence of the problem of the film was disclosed, which was that the “clogged” ordinary person could not believe in himself, in his uniqueness.
He believed, killed agents, became an indestructible superman, end. And you can already automatically think about how the GG scatters the remnants of agents to the right and left, flies on a ship and frees everyone from the matrix, etc.D.
Zion, as you said, was mentioned only for a checkmark in the first part: where “real”, “fled” people live? In the sewer, in the city rebuilt by them. Its essence should not have been revealed if it all ended on the first part.
Only because of the response of the people, the directors decided to remove the second part. Well, how to continue it if they finished it for themselves at the first? And so, they made a transition, the development of the plot, new problems, branches. And made gorgeously, taking into account the difficult task faced with them.

PF, in your opinion someone does not know the great Napoleon, the creator of the theory of relativity?
This made me laugh like that: DDDDD
