The Matrix is 13 Years Old.........

[BK Product]

Morpheus one of the GOAT movie characters.

"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain"

Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo: The Matrix.

Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?

Neo: Yes.

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.

shit was mind blowing to me.

Watch the Blu-ray, it's amazing how the film holds up especially the Effects. George Lucas should be ashamed that he was out shinned in special effects. The effects in The Matrix were better than Episode I and they dropped the same year.

 

[lamontbdc]

yea i'm gonna have to cop the blu ray this was the shit

They should do a prequel to the matrix and focus on morpheous and commander Locke. They can dive in on him trying to find the one and his obsession to this prophecy while many of the other commanders doubt him.

Even though if they do remake this movie they will probable concentrate on the adventures of the other one's eluded to by the architect

For awhile I liked the second movie more(action wise).......but I watched part 1 again on a whim....the original is the goat.

I would only consider the 3rd wacarnolds though.

 

[ocelot]

A prequel would be nice

 

[rapmastermind]

A prequel would be nice

The only thing is we got a Prequel kinda with the "Animatrix" story lines. I do not want to see how the Previous "ONE's" lives were, we are already invested in Neo story line. It should be a Sequel about how they find Neo now that he is one with the Matrix. Have the Architect change his mind on the peace deal and it's a new war. With the effects and 3D today that ish would ILL.

@rapmastermind

But intlhak idea sounds good tho...

Morpheus searching for the one and everyone was on board till the one wasn't the one and everyone saw it but Morpheus... Then in the end Morpheus and the old crew had to kill him...thus causing friction with the people in the real world and commander locke because of Morpheuss blindness... Ill be the Star War prequel done right

A prequel would be nice

I heard a prequel is in order...or at least they are making another matrix movie...

From what I've heard it will be a sequel, they are waiting for Keanu to finish "47 Ronin" dropping this year and "Cowboy Beebop" but I heard they are looking to bring The Matrix back in the next 3 years by 2015.

It was a black woman who came up with screen play for this movie. She ended up suing never heard anything else about it though. It was confirmed that she wrote the movie though.

she also never got credit for the Termanator series

which explain why it lines up perfectly with the Matrix story

The Matrix is the end result of the humans war with the Machine (mankind lost)

Where'd you hear that?

I wish Will didn't turn down Matrix to do Wild Wild West lol

 

[Swiffness!]

"Inception" is only 1 year old and "The Matrix" just had it's 13th Bday and dudes are debating if it's seeing "The Matrix"?, LOL, "Inception" has a long way to go to even be in the same sentence.

Nigga plz you don't need a decade to know if something's a classic. Inception doesn't have to wait in line for a couple years just to earn the right to be compared to Matrix......FUCK THOSE STRIPES!

LOL @ Matrix stans still trying cape them last 2 shitty movies

Unfortunately anybody who's studied philosophy knows Reloaded & Revolutions were wack.

Unlike the first Matrix which was intelligent and thought-provoking, Reloaded & Revolutions were pretentious and nonsensical and filled with what is known as pseudoscience...aka bullshit.

Also if you notice, Reloaded was completely pointless. By the end of the movie they are right back to square one and accomplished nothing. NOTHING!!!! It seemed like a theme for the entire movie.

What was the point of the long ass smith fight? NOTHING! Nigga got bored than dipped.

What was the point of the long sword fight in that ball room? NOTHING!

What was the point of that long as car chase? NOTHING!

What was the point of the architect's long ass speech and giving Neo that crazy ultimatum? NOTHING! He saves Trinity and there's no consequence!! Did any of y'all catch that?

There's no consistency with Neo's powers. A sword cuts his hand? But then in the next film Smith power bombs him into the ground creating a giant crater and he's still alive?

The sequels were just complete trash.

"You don't truly know someone until u fight them" No dumbass.... no.

"You didn't come here to make the choice, you already made, you're here to understand why" Stop trying to sound smart!

"We're not here because we're free, we're here because we're not free..." Nigga shut da fuck up!

"Love is just a word.... Karma is a word" Smh.....

ergo......

The difference is the first Matrix was smart, and the sequels were TRYING to be smart and failed miserably.

alllllllllllll this

Cornell West's cameo was my first clue that dude was basically a glorified smart dumb nigga lol

It was a black woman who came up with screen play for this movie. She ended up suing never heard anything else about it though. It was confirmed that she wrote the movie though.

that whole thing is weird, goes like this:

she wrote a story in the 80s

she claims they stole it, sues after The Matrix comes out

newspaper runs FALSE-but-widely-quoted article claiming she won ridiculous 2.5 billion dollar judgement in court, WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN (http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/matrix.asp)

then a judge throws out her lawsuit bcuz her dumb ass no-showed a preliminary hearing in court and didn't have her legal shit together

now all she does is run a cheap looking website, sell her wack book, and tell anyone who listens about how she's "The Mother of The Matrix"

BTW you can buy her story from Amazon. Its really just an unfinished outline of a story with VERY broad similarities. Epic hero must free the people blah blah blah, same monomyth as always. Oh yeah except there's aliens in her story lol.

Meh, I know this urban myth ain't going away bcuz some negroes just HAVE to believe that black people invented EVERYTHING in order to cope with Racism, but IMHO that bitch is spittin DuckTales

 

[Swiffness!]

I wish Will didn't turn down Matrix to do Wild Wild West lol

lol i think Keanu was perfect. Neo imho needed to be a character that just shut the fuck up and looked either bewildered or incredulous at certain moments. Big Willie would've been joking around and distracting from everything else with the blinding power of his Swag n shit lol

 

[KNiGHTS]

I cosign the first Matrix as GOAT Sci-Fi candidate. The problem is that it's blatantly obvious no one knew the shit would be as successful as it was, so they rushed EVERYTHING that followed it. I knew shit was fucked up when Roy Jones had a goddamn cameo. Like other dude said, nothing served a purpose after part one other than to show Neo was in God Mode for 3 more hours and trying to look smart.

 

[rapmastermind]

@Swiffness

Nobody saying "Inception" won't be considered a Classic but the original "Matrix" caused a cultural phenomenon, something "Inception" really didn't. People loved it but nobody is writing books and starting religions off it like they did with "The Matrix". I agree the sequels just got two big for their own good, they didn't know where to go but they still were entertaining as action/sci-fi films. The Trilogy as awhole is still one of the best in movie history regardless of the criticisms of the sequels. The Mythology of the whole thing is legendary also. Overall "Inception" did some serious damage but it's not "Matrix" level.

 

[ocelot]

The only person that can be Neo besides Keanu is Paul Walker... Maybe Ed Norton

 

[loch121]

Inception before Inception... More of a philosophical movie than sci-fi... If it ended with the first it would be the GOAT

Matrix is way more complex than Inception though.Love both

 

[rapmastermind]

Congrats to "THE MATRIX". The Library of Congress has deemed "The Matrix" to be culturally significant and added it to it's National Film registry. Sorry but that's not happening with "Inception" so as I said, it's not "Matrix" level:

GOAT STATUS
