I really do feel that additional 30 would help make it more clear. I know some of it was Agent Johnson fighting Morpheus and the kid from revolutions returns but dont know in what capacity
Part of it definitely hits too close to home while at the same time some of it is too on the nose for some from Rapunzel tower to the allusions to nostalgia to how it slaps across the face with the point of the power of Deja Vu(Nostalgia, Suits, those in control remaking the characters same story ). Because realistically they remade neos eyes and body and trinity they could make it so they have absolutely 0 memory of each other but they place their pods close because they are harnessing the power of a love story even if its supposed to be a doomed one where them not seeing each other for their true selves allows them to never reuinite.
The crew of the ship whose name translates to memory say "he is hotter with a beard", "everyone he ships with dies" even the term ship is a fanboy internet lingo. "I was named after a sequoia tree they loved nature" in a society where they built their own artificial sun and we see Niobe cling to fruit but not trees which provide oxygen she looks down on those who eat slop. again middle class leftist. But those middle class leftist operate within the status quo work with limited machines and weren't really even caring to free minds like that or find neo outside of Bugs. Bugs is the anomaly looking for an anomaly. She saw Neo not fall.
The opening of the movie she falls through the game or modal with Morpheus helping remove him from his modal. Neo nearly is about to jump and is DRINKING ALCOHOL when he is about to get 5150s and placed back on the TREADMILL until he produces the content that the MACHINES want which is MATRIX 4. In many ways it is saying again with the obivous swarm allusion. WE HAVE BECOME THE SMITHS WE HAVE BECOME THE MACHINES
that crave bullets, violence, colors , cool kungfu over the point of the f***ing movies WHICH IS LOVE. Lana has been beating audience over head with concept of love from Cloud Atlas to Sense 8 to Matrix Resurrections
yet they like "nah we want bullets and death". Which is why again Neo has 0 Kills this movie for a reason. S*** Trinity has 0 kills too. Look how many bodies they racked up in past movies and look what it lead to
Really excellent a***ysis.
Really excellent a***ysis.
The second half of the movie is more meta than people realize.....
At least Game of Thrones had fire production their final season
All the budget in the world not saving that TRASH ASS writing bro lmao
That’s powerful, man.
Are you suggesting that people are actually rejecting the movie because deep down they know it hits too close to home?
It doesn’t seem like that to me, it feels like general audiences are completely unfamiliar, and care little, about engaging with art on a meta level. It seems fairly obvious what the movie’s going for, but people don’t even seem to consider that the movie is aiming for those grander ambitions. Whether it pulls it off is another story.
Basically, it seems like people never actually cared about the story in The Matrix, they were just in it for the cool-factor. And that’s news to me.
I’m a little worried that, on rewatch, the movie will start falling apart after the terrific first act.
I did really like what happens with Trinity in the third act tho.
They loving the meta with the new scream tho ironically
Ps I was afraid on sober rewatch I'd see what everyone was ranting about but naw s*** was dope
Neo doesn't have zero kills he blew up that helicopter and those in it lmao
I realized but that’s like his only one and it’s their weapons but true
Just watched this at imax... had the benefit of rewatching the og matrix there a few days beforehand.
Honestly i get people's criticisms of this one. The cgi "real world" scenes were boring af. The flashbacks were too heavy handed.
But the action was pretty good at points, and the final sequence was on par with the highway scene from the second movie. Honestly, it saved the movie for me. I liked the casting and Barney Stinson dialogue as well as the new agent smith too. 3.5/5
Deleted scenes probably not there
What i like is that neo created Morpheus Smith due to the role they both played. He seems very inspirational the way morpheus was but also very assured with himself the way Smith was

Nah I don't think so but then again I only remember a few of them because I've watched the Deja Vu trailer so much. So I'm not sure which ones happened in movie.
Personally I didn't find it heavy handed. I think it added to that jarring feeling that Neo felt. The only one I thought was weird was Neo remembering the "billions of people just living out their lives" bit because he wasn't there for that in Matrix one. Smith told that to Morpheus.
Wasn't a huge fan of the jump cuts for a lot of the action. Also i feel like some scenes wouldve felt more grand if they pulled the camera back like it was mentioned
