THE MATRIX (1999) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Neo having to accept a cookie before the oracle will interact with him is such a fun piece of program related writing. The oracle (a program) required Neo to enable cookies.

You do realise from this day forward every time you experience deja-vu your internal voice will say. 'Oh a glitch in the matrix'. I'm still doing it after 22 years.

Cypher was a character that didn't get a lot of attention, but he was extremely important. He KNEW that everything was a simulation, yet he still wanted to be put back in, blissful and unaware. He wanted an easy, comfortable, fake life instead of having to deal with a difficult reality. I think many people in our world have this mindset.

"I don't want it to be over." My thoughts exactly as a 13 year old kid back in 1999 on opening night. lmao

"No one can be told what The Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself" - Morpheus

The four main characters-Keanu, Carrie-Ann Moss, Laurence Fishburn, and Hugo Weaving-spent about 6 months doing extensive martial arts training, so the fighting they’re doing is really them. So impressive.

Most underrated lines in the whole movie: "You think that's air you're breathing now?" - Morpheus can tell Neo doesn't get it "There is no spoon." - the kid can tell Neo doesn't get it "Guns. Lots of guns." - Neo, still not getting it "No." - Neo gets it and deletes Smith Among the best progressions of "show not tell" I can think of. And after all, "no one can be told what the Matrix is, they have to see it for themselves".

Funny how people, more then 20 years after, still get the same emotions, confusion and wow from this movie. It is and will always be the best scifi movie of this genre because it crosses generations!

Keanu reportedly gave up around $75 million worth of pay (in royalties, etc.) which he split amongst dozens of the crew members. The dude made dozens of people millionaires out of sheer generosity.

That helicopter scene still gives me goosebumps.. can’t believe this was made in 99. It still looks amazing!

I remember watching The Matrix in 1999 and had no idea what I went into and my mind was absolutely blown like nothing before or after really. I've often thought, if there was one thing I could go back and do as if for the first time, it would be watching The Matrix. Your reaction was genuinely amusing and engrossing. I'm usually somewhat reluctant to watching people react to movies, but you were into the movie in a way that felt genuine and real and it made it interesting. So thanks for that.

I just love how open minded you approach new movies, even if they don't seem interesting or you aren't really into the genre.

I had no idea about this movie going into the theater in 99. Needless to say, when the credits rolled and lights came on, I had the dumbest smile on my face

Quentin Tarantino said this is one of the best films ever and completely changed the cinema forever. I remember growing up that so many movies tried to copy and do what the matrix did, even to this day that is the case

PIB: "Tbh, I don't really have a desire to watch the Matrix" Also PIB: "I don't want it to be over!"

The concept of the Matrix is based off of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. A few things you might have missed: Morpheus asked Neo “you think that’s air you’re breathing?” Insinuating that he wasn’t, and if he wasn’t there was no need for Cypher to sneeze or cough. It was just to give away their position. The Oracle told Neo that he was waiting “for another life.” He only became the one after dying.”

As a dude who watched this in the cinema when it was first released, it's so cool to see a new generation enjoying this film for the first time.

2:48 “He looks so young.” Reeves is 35 here. It is incredible how well he’s aged. He’s 56 and could easily pass for 40, IMO.

Matrix: Agent Smith guns down Neo relentlessly. Her. as if to a petulant child: Stop it! Made my night!

These movies have such great soundtracks. You got "Wake Up" by Rage, "Dragula" by Rob Zombie, "Clubbed to Death"...just awesome.

The "stoner movie" that Keanu Reeves is in is called "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," and I assure you, you _want_ to see that. It is most triumphant.

Stephen Colbert: "What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?" (audience laughs) Keanu Reeves: (he takes a deep breath) "I know that the ones who love us, will miss us." (audience wasn't expecting an amazing answer)

No idea why this was in my recommended but I'm SO glad it was. I made my GF watch this a few weeks ago and your reactions were identical to hers, i was smiling throughout this video! Loved your final reaction too, I grew up with this film and I'm so glad to see it still holds up well today.

"True love's kiss." I love how you are always looking for a thread of romance. It makes me smile.

The best line is still, 'Why do my eyes hurt? -- You've never used them before.' One of the greatest lines in history.

"This guy is so creepy and evil..." Hugo Weaving: "Thanks, than I´ve done my acting well" ;)

16:26 Agent smith shooting Neo she says " STOP IT " lol my favorite part of this whole video

I genuinely enjoyed seeing your reaction to this movie. My first time watching this movie was with my dad, We rented the movie on VHS when my mom and sister were out of town and we were both so blown away we rewound the tape and watched it again. Still only to this day the only movie I watched twice in a row.

mind-blowing at the time, "you think that's air you're breathing?"

"Ooh he's got the sunglasses now!" Was hilarious.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, squids are attacking them!" Keep 'em coming!!!

I read about Keanu Reeves and learned what kind of person he was. What I learned about him instantly put him to my favorite actor because of how genuine he is.

You actually know what a floppy disk is. You have my respect.

Man this takes me back.. this was my fav movie growing up. Her permanently confused face in the first half and then just being so invested in the 2nd half.. you can tell it was truly authentic! Lmao

I love the fact that you went from having really no desire to see it, to having a deep interest in it. Such a mind-bending but awesome movie!

"bullet-proof forcefields...with guns that would just put them to sleep" That has to be the most mom-like line i've ever heard 😂

This was Neo's excellent adventure.

Going into this movie blind makes it one of the most mind bending cinematic experiences you could possibly have. This movie was unreal and it's held up so well after all this time.

I think many don't realise in 1999. Less than 10% of people owned a computer and even then it was dial up internet. Internet cafes and Adsl wasn't even a thing in most places. So a movie about programs and coding was just mind blowing and had everyone questioning reality

MORPHEUS IS FIGHTIN' NEO like one of the most epic lines in cinema ever

The Oracle said, "You're next life maybe..." --- Agent kills Neo.. Neo gets another life...

Oh girl you are just too pure for this world. Such a sweet person.

I was active duty Navy in 1999 and saw this Haifa, Israel in a local theater on a 60-inch TV, dubbed in Hebrew. It STILL blows my mind!

"Why couldn't they just make guns that make them go to sleep" Such an innocent thought tbh

The fact that you have people in your life that said you wouldn't like this movie, should make you question how much they actually know you.

Imagine how mind blowing this was in '99. VR was not a thing at all. The idea of the movie was so fresh. The fighting style… the outfits… the bullet time… You have seen it by now in many other movies because everyone wanted to do that after The Matrix. But back then it was the greatest movie theater experience i ever had.

Adorable. The Oracle says he’s not the one. PiB: “can he be the one later?”

Now follow that up with the “They Live” and basically you have the 2020 and 2021 real life explained.

I don’t know if you’ve seen Office Space...but if not, check it out. The entire time you’ll just be seeing Nixon from Band Of Brothers being a slacker

Its very refreshing to see someone watch genres they weren't really not interested or comfortable with and actually give it an genuine attempt to follow along. I enjoy your very authentic innocent reactions to the movies.

Matrix OG is arguably cinema perfection. Great story, visuals, mood, music, etc...just stars across the board, and will always be Keanu's real role for me (Wick is good...but naa, he is Neo. Wick is what Neo has been doing to make ends meet between 3 and 4 on the DL. need funds for the noodles)

Your question: "Why couldn't they just make (in that that simulationroom) bulletproof forcefields or something?". Answer: Morpheus said somewhere in the beginning of the movie, that The Matrix (in which they now are) is build up on a set of rules, some of them can be bend, others can be broken. That is why bulletproof forcefields aren't possible, or at least, not in that way, Neo finds other ways to "bend" those rules.

100 years of Hollywood and this is one of the best movies ever made.

For some reason, seeing people's reaction to the simulation reveal scene always puts me right back to that movie theater seat in 1999. Goosebumps every time.

They are all wearing sunglasses, and the first time neo goes in, he’s overwhelmed by how bright everything is.

17:00 "that was the oneness I was waiting for" idk why but the way you said that was so funny.

I seriously loved how in the beginning it was “I have no desire to see it” but by the end, 1000% invested and holding on to the edge of the bed lol. Quality reaction vid to one of the all time greatest movies!

There are only a handfull of Actors that can play bad Guys so intense like Hugo Weaving.

When Agent Smith shoots Neo and kills him, that look you gave the camera had me almost falling out of my chair laughing. It was the best WTF look I have seen in a long time.

I have to say, as deep and confusing as The Matrix can be at times, you hardly missed a thing, you grasped the concept of The Matrix being a simulation that humans are plugged into in those pods, and right away made an inference that Cypher was a bad dude. All of your comments were great. Well done!

My late wife always talked through every movie we ever watched and I always had to "shhhhh" her. Watching you watch these reminds me so much of watching movies with her and does my heart good. Oh, and you are adorable.

Most folks think the sequels are pretty "meh" but they do expand a lot on Neo & Trinity's romance quite a bit so you might like 'em 😁

What I love about The Matrix is how much there is if you dig deeper into the meaning behind it. For instance, my favorite line is from the Oracle, when after Neo knocks over the vase she told him not to worry about, she says, "What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?" This does two things. First, it indicates that her prophecies are very much real. Second, it hints at how she likes to operate, subtly twisting the fates of those around her into the optimal position for her desired outcome.

"You have to get back, squids are attacking them!" 😁

"I'm sure there's whole forums on the Internet dedicated to unpacking that." And so it begins.

16:53 “True love’s kiss! I knew it!” 🤣

That was entertaining to watch all those reactions to the scenes. You understood it sure better than I did back in 1999.

I loved watching your perspective change. From confused and seeming disinterested but watching "because you had to", to being so excited at the ending and not wanting it to end.

I always watch this movie with my students when reading Plato's Allegory of the Cave. It illustrates the point well enough and It's a good excuse to watch a good movie.

'What does make one noodle place better than the other', asking the real philosophical questions, as usual.

I was about 10 or 11 when I first saw the Matrix and it blew my tiny little mind. All these years later and it is still one of my favourite films

As someone who's been watching The Matrix since they were 5 years old, watching you first time react to it has been an adorable and funny reminder of how intense this film is.

Please watch "Terminator" 1+2 !

The Matrix raises lots of existential questions such as “what is the nature of reality?”, and “will creating the singularity lead to the inevitable destruction of humans”, and “what does make one noodle place better than the other?”. Questions we may never have the answers to.

My wife and I watch together... You make us feel like WE'RE watching these movies for the first time too! Super fun and entertaining. Love these. We watch them on date night! ❤

You had some really good questions. It’s so awesome to watch someone enjoying this movie for the first time 👍

I’m addicted to watching your channel , you’re such a kind sensitive woman and I love your reactions and feedback. I never in a million years thought I would be into watching reactions videos but here i am. Just wanted to say thank you !

"Who is she?" Somebody who should have been a huge movie star.

Hahaha "Oops! I just spilt more." 🍿 🤣 Edit; But, did you _really?!_ 😎

Love it! Your initial "To be honest, I don't really have a desire to see the Matrix" turned into "I didn't want it to be over!" Welcome to the Matrix, new convert.

_"To be honest I don't really have a desire to see The Matrix."_ - Cassie

Having experienced The Matrix an inordinate amount of times, watching you experience it was something quite enjoyable.

One thing I always thought was cool about the Matrix movies is the ability to instantly download knowledge through a program. Just think if we actually had that ability available in real life and not just in a computer simulation. The possibilities would be endless.

I remember watching this and thinking "what kind of a mind could create something like this?".......just goes to show, art imitates life!

Part 2 and 3 are really gonna bake your noodle. But I would also recommend watching The Animatrix, which is a set of animated shorts that fill in a lot of gaps, particularly "The Second Renaissance Parts 1 and 2" which provides the backstory of the war between the Machines and humans, and "The Final Flight Of The Osiris" which leads directly into the events of the next movie The Matrix Reloaded.

Cassie. Cassie. Cassie. Asking for a Bulletproof force field, what fun would that be. We gotta dodge some bullets. Then dodge more bullets while flipping on walls. Kicking butt fighting Kung Fu. Can we upload flying a helicopter in less than 10 seconds. It's so much more than you know. Enjoy the ride.

I'm not a fan of the next"Matrix"movies,TBH,but the 1st one is an absolute masterpiece! It was seriously revolutionary and has so many memorable scenes and lines! I know it all by heart!😎

"I don't want to watch it". 2 hours later: "I need to watch part 2 ASAP" LOOOOOOL, as always xD

The concept of humans living in a "simulated reality" (for lack of a better term) can be found in the Allegory of the Cave in The Republic by Plato

Agents can "possess" and become anyone plugged into the Matrix. That's why they have to kill humans: to deny agents potential hosts.

This movie is so famous that at the beginning of Lord of the Rings The fellowship of the Ring when Lord Elron (played by the same actor, Hugo Weaving) appears on screen-i heard several people in the theater say “Mr Anderson”, lol

Dude, you are so good at this. It took me a couple viewings to absorb all this and make sense of it. And you do it on your first try. Not just this, but your other videos.

I love that you're asking the questions just before they're answered in the movie...

First Snatch now the Matrix. You’re really covering some of my favorites.

Matrix is a masterpiece simulation of the one purpose you have in your existence as an entity that has the potential to choose a path to make a change to save the ones close to you and preserve the flow of things the way they are but different to make them better - Every Matrix monologue ever.

Found it to be adorable when Agent Smith empties his gun into Neo, and you say "Stop it". 😀

"That's the one-ness I was waiting for!"...So love your reactions!

“hurry hurry hurry squids are attacking them” 😃❤️❤️❤️

Watching your reactions reminds me of the first time I saw it. I was blown away by their world and it changed the way I looked at mine. It drove me to go read up on the philosophy of the matrix and I was never the same. The red and blue pills are the paths you take away from this movie. So good.

I am new to your channel and I just wanted to let you know that after watching you reacting to the matrix one of my favorite movies of all time I actually literally was in tears seeing your reaction. I just love your authenticity your gentleness your cuteness made me smile and cry at the same time. I am so glad that I found your channel it’s just neat to me to be able to see somebody experience something for the first time that some of us have experienced long ago just to see their first time is really awesome. Makes me remember when I first saw the matrix. can’t wait to see more of your reaction videos 🤗 needless to say after watching this video of you reacting I am a new subscriber I’m hooked! 😀
