Matrix: Revolutions

[Koliedrus]

I didn't see it in the theatre. I bought the thing so I could watch it at home without having to worry about Squids swarming all over me.

Now I can point out ground-breaking technology or rip it to shreds in the privacy of my home.


My seven-year-old daughter corrected this "out of the blue":

0:40:42

I'm afraid hope is and indulgence I don't have time for.

"Daddy?"
"Yeah, Hon?"
"He said that wrong."
"Huh?"
"''bla bla bla bla FOR.' That didn't sound right. You don't end a sentence with 'for''. That's just weird. 'For' always goes in the middle, not at the end."

God help me. My kid is correcting GRAMMAR!








My 7-year-old beat me to it. What can you find that either bugs or pleases you?

Hehe, I edited too. :)

Still cooj though. :D

[Koliedrus]

No wonder!

hmmmm

what is inherently wrong with the matrix: my opinion

I finally watched “revolutions” and I liked it, I liked the philosophy behind the story I like the way it ended, I like the “truth” that is exposed in the end. Hell, I like the whole damn trilogy better now.
(if you want to argue about the mason’s references see the "Note" at the bottom)

However, the US will hate this trilogy. The whatzcxhowskyzkiewhatzchy brothers are clearly idiot savants at best. US Cinema should crucify them on the Hollywood sign as a lesson for other ppl who expect to create an epic film with out a fairy-tale-happy-ending-28-minute-TV-show-2 point-plot format.

The over all story is classically brilliant:
You start in what looks like the world as we know it.
It’s obvious that something isn’t quite right, but THAT’S actually how the real world makes you feel sometimes anyway so you follow the white rabbit.
Then you are forced into a new “reality” which you really don’t like, all the time being told that it’s a “choice” you are making.
Suddenly life has true purpose and great lessons and you find your abilities and yada yada yada
Then someone you don’t want to like or trust tells you the truth about the balance of good and bad and you DECIDE that it MUST be deeper than that. You are certain that he’s trying to deceive you. So you fight the good fight for freedom and love and blah, blah, blah.
In the end, the world is exactly as it was. Only YOU change. And your change is balanced by a change in what you where really fighting all along.
Its a full-circle kind of story.

This should have been a 5 minute narration for a Matrix TV show about the humans in Zion fighting machines and crap like that every week on the WB.
If I may bastardize the final philosophical rambling of the last movie; there’s no end to it, because there’s no beginning.

I don’t care for Keanu Reeves, I didn’t care much for neo’s character (in part because of not liking Keanu Reeves and in part because he was a fucking cgi’d forrest gump with cool sunglasses)
Trinity will be forever remembered for that ass in those pants.
Morpheus is a character that should turn up in more movies as soon as possible.

America loves the first matrix movie, as well they should.
America will hate this story and the final movie most of all.
I like the trilogy now that I’ve seen it all and that’s all that matters to me.

Note:
If you intend to get hung up on the “architect” metaphor of the purposeful and intentional creator of everything who doesn’t present himself in some sort of wise, yet compassionate, paternal deity figure here to aid all mankind in becoming closer to him, you probably have a serious anthropomorphic-theological psychosis and could benefit from eating handful of mushrooms or electroshock therapy or something.

the grammar bothered/impressed me least of all

I liked it. The only think I didn't like is how the photography and quality to the film wasn't as similar to the first film. The only reason I think people didn't like it is because they didn't have a 'spiritual enlightenment' like they expected. The first one was the 'enlightment'. I guess the sequels were explaining why it was?

I hope anyone replying to this thread has watched the Animatrix! Would have been cool to see the Renaisance shorts and Final Flight of the Osiris were in the films.

All I know is I want to be a metaphysical ninja!

The reason why some people didn't like the ending was because (as MAC stated above), it didn't have the happy-kissy-lovey ending that most expect.

This is a cult movie. Alot of people around the world have taken this as gospel. I know....sad.

There is a prophesized happy ender in the Bible.
Buddism teaches the nirvana at the end of suffering.
Islam teaches of the great world awaiting the faithful at the end of the long struggle.

The Matrix' happy ending never happenend. There was NO englightenment.

Just existence.

Personally, it didn't kick ass until my kid started picking it apart.

No happy ending? Life given for the sake of Love?

Look closer. The Machine City is "01"
The Human refuge is Zion.

Sound it out. I think that was clever.

The protagonist died to save his people. He even blazes a cross on his torso as he's dying, for chrissake.

The "happy ending" is that life will continue.

That perception came from the mind of a 7-year-old.

Now, if I can only keep her from laughing at the word, "bullshit".
