I guarantee some people around are “agent smiths” anything you try to do for yourself that betters you, their goin to be against you. This movie is accurate to ‘real life’
@Philip Marc Which is why Death of the Author is real. The Author of a work opinion of said work has no more weight than the ones who interprete it. It was obvious that at the time The Matrix was created the Wachowskis they were inspired by the book Simulation and Simulacra and other philosophy books that questions the nature of reality. The idea of transgenderism is a retcon from the Wachowskis after the work was done in order to draw parallel from their own new experience unto the old work. While they are more than welcome to their interpretation when you watch the film is pretty obvious that message was never there. My interpretation of the Matrix is two fold. The Matrix as it relates to the viewer is not some sci-fi mumbo jumbo but the representation of the system we live today. The system that hold us in that keeps us sedated into good working bees. The system that exploits us and takes our freedoms away while the Machines or the Elites in our case gain the fruits of our labor.
@@agustinlyon8173 If you really want to know, look for the answer and you will find it. I can only show you the door, you're the one that has to walk through it.
"In order for you to win someone has to lose. Look for situations where you can both win". The best piece of advice I've ever received. It applies to women, life, everything pretty much.
@@ivanoschennot necessarily. If you play with what “winning” even means in the first place, the same idea came read as “instead of securing a victory spot by pushing someone over the edge of that spot (the way you’d usually think about winning; a positive outcome that requires a negative one to be validated) try to look for a spot where both can stand (confers a new meaning to winning, where the positive outcome can be valid for all involved)”
yes it is bro .... movies today are crap .... this movie reveals everything you need to know about the true nature of our existence as humans .... there is no other movie that has broached the subject as deeply as this one ..... best movie ever!!!
I feel that we all have a collective purpose to love people and be kind to each other and also to ascend to the highest level of 'positive energy' whatever that entails. We all have a our individual purposes as well like some people are meant to be Doctors, some Lawyers, others Carpenters and others Engineers. I suppose that depends on what you are inclined to, what comes naturally I guess, but again ultimately we are here to learn how to love, that is our purpose.
I love how the audio of the voices change from the real world to the Matrix. The real world sounds direct, whereas the construct sounds surround. Subtle but nice.
Not that I disagree, but I would say it's the mind that interprets the world. The world is the world- it is there whether we want to believe it or not.
@@sibabalenqumse5280 It really doesn't. Actually, everything you have, will or are percieving is a product of your mind. Your consciousness tells you what you see, experience, feel, taste etc. and that's the only thing in the world that is 100% certain. You can't prove that reality is real or not, you can only know what your consciousness tells you.
it's real because everyone is stuck in a fear/greed trap where all we try to do is put each other down, satisfy our interests, get social acceptance, and make an extra buck only the brave break free into the real
*"Each of us lives dependent and bound by our individual knowledge and our awareness, that is what we call reality however one's reality might be another's illusion"*
pair this video with the Kurzgesagt video on Black Holes; specifically, near the end when they explain the holographic principle of information storage in black holes. Add it to the pile of concerning theories that the universe is a simulation or hologram. The "Residual Self-Image" morpheus speaks on is eerily similar. Favorite thing about this movie is the way they write these complex philosophical plots interspersed with a little bit of hard science.
Senses alone don't make reality. If you had a mental definition of reality, it'd be a lasting, agonizing pain that refuses to go away and pops back up when you think it's gone. Reality isn't just a thing you see, but a thing that continues to exist and influence the world without you looking... it is something outside your control, yet bound by its own set of rules.
The double slit experiment actually proofed that this reality only exists when beeing observed. There is no reality without consciousness, youtube it, its pretty interesting.
Exactly what Robert Anton Wilson and other highly intelligent individuals were talking about. There is nothing until we became observing. Actually I think nothing is real as everything is real. Words can not describe anything however.
What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. Morpheus
Probably why they have keep doing sequals. The constent theme through out the series is mirrors and reflections. I don't even trust what I'm seeing or hearing in this movie. The secret is not to break free but how to co-exist
the reason the CGI and all that "green screen" still works is because the colour scheme of the overall colour of the film is green. The colour green is the foreground and the background, perfection at its greatest.
At first Morpheus's glasses do not reflect at all. After a little time they start to reflect. Seems program was still loading. A little detail, but this kind of details make this movie a real masterpiece.
or just a continuity goof which happens alot in movies however with the context of this film those goofs could technically be explained away such as what you brought up.
"Is this real?" - Thats the question i ask myself everytime I dream that i "woke up", but something does not feel right. Then i realize me waking up is just a dream inside my dream so i try to wake up "for real" but it doesnt work, no matter how hard i try.
That is so true, I have had a crazy nut tell me about how religion is correct because the bible says so, but I should have asked him, "what is real, what do you define as real?" and then begin explaining simulation theory.
You could bring that up in an Atheist argument. Ones reality can be an illusion, that applies to both atheism and religion... If you're so conceited that you can't consider the possibility that you are deluded then you will never know the truth. Eveyone always points the finger to the other side and says YOU are the one who is deluded... You can easily play both sides of that coin. People simply think that God isn't real because they can't see him. The matrix is the opposite. They believe the matrix is real because they can see it, feel it, touch it. But they refuse to believe that they are slaves because they cannot see it, they cannot know it, feel it or touch it. They are blinded by the matrix.
What is good????....how do you define good????....if you talking about what you can see feel taste touch and see....then good is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain
After a lot of reflection and meditation, I think I finally understand the what is real construct connection. It's very deep, and honestly quite moving.
I'm just starting meditation myself. While I think I grasp "no self" intellectually, I hear that actually experiencing it is something that cannot be described, though it can take years of meditation.
joe dirt Wonderful, and I would agree. From my experiences with achieving no self state, which has thus far only been 3 times in my 5 years of meditation, the feeling is what matters. The ability to describe the state is limited and is best shown through analogy, like for instance the construct. Imagine for a moment that you are meditating, then gradually your focus begins to expand. For instance you visualize yourself in the construct from the video, meditating in the air in the middle of a white space, void of anything else. Then as your focus expands you start having an out of body like experience. Where you see yourself separating into 2 beings, the meditating one in the space and the one that is witnessing this happen, a type of astral body. Next begin to see pure white light emanating from your meditating body in the space and your body visualization has vanished. This is as best as I can recall and describe the experience. Good luck in your introspection friend.
I just love this movie cause I only recently watched this in 2019 and it still blowed me away. I was never into sci fi films but I happened to just see what this movie was about and I love how this movie starts slow so we can understand the story. Not to much action just explaining and seeing how amazing the story is put out. The way they live in an alter universe is just shocking. I watched the second and I got to say that it’s just disappointing... they sort of just throw in action and make the whole alter universe thing seem likes it’s normal and it’s just action after actions. Also just very cliche. Original one is the most unique no doubt. It’s a mind shocker and the other 2 are just shit imo
I think reality begins when you die, what we experience here, right now, on ''Planet Earth'', is nothing more than a video game. Just like Morpheus explained, a Simulation, a Program. Just like in every video game, there is a basic principle that is nescessary, and that is: good and bad, wrong and right, truth and lie, life and death, Ying and Yang. If you ever asked yourself, why can't there just be good, why doesn't god come here and just eliminate all evil things. Well, think about it, what would life be with just everything good everything perfect? What would your purpose be? Imagine a Video Game where you would just be winning, you wouldnt have to be careful, you wouldnt have to think... you see?
"It is the mental projection of your digital self." I always thought that line got it backwards-- maybe Fishburne switched it by mistake and nobody noticed, or maybe it was written wrong. In "fact", it should be "the digital projection of your mental self"-- one's mental self-image projected digitally.
no because the digital self would just be a bunch of codes like how he sees the agents at the end. His digital self is being mentally projected as looking like he should as a human and not digitally projected. Makes sense the way he says it. In my opinion anyways.
But your first sentence just made an argument against the way he said it, and supporting my point. There is no "digital self" for Neo to project, and Neo isn't the one doing the projecting. The computer software is taking Neo's mental image of himself, and projecting it into the Construct. Thus, the digital projection (what is seen in the Construct or in the Matrix) of his mental self. "The mental projection of your digital self" is the opposite of what supposedly happens, if you see what I mean.
So its easy to believe that we are simulation and there are creatures smarter then us who made this simulation but its hard to believe that there is a god who did this
I have always questioned what constitutes reality: Humans have a limited spectrum of perception sensory data and information to detect, analyze, decipher the abstract essence of what may argumentatively and speculatively be considered reality. Humans should entertain all types and forms of philosophic and scientific probative inquiries into attempting to possibly and potentially discover what exists within inner space and outer space within micro and macro physic casualties.
Not only would he be 100% aware that what he's experiencing isn't real, which is exactly the premise of the movie - why would they want to escape from the machines into a reality that is much darker than what the matrix provides? (theres a few good reasons as to why)- he would also be in danger because he is on a ship, with a chance they will be caught and killed. Also, as long as he is on the ship nobody would let him waste their time and just chill in their programs. They are there because they have work to do. He would still be forced to put himself in danger every time they went into the actual matrix. Cypher is a really interesting character as he represents one important side of the question. If everything feels the same, maybe even better, then what's the point of "reality". Why does reality feel different to you than fake reality if at all?
