I understand the reason it’s all planned but it’s just annoying that the way they bring up topics acting like it was natural/spontaneous
By a few I mean maybe 3 or 4. It wasn’t that the movie was boring or anything it’s just that maybe about minutes in or so my mind always wanders and I end up turning it off and doing something else every single time but this time I decided to lock in.
Anyway just some thoughts:
Somehow I didn’t remember his real name is “Thomas”, I thought his actual name was Neo which is a strange name in itself but kinda lost some aura off his real name alone.
I don’t ever wanna see those belly button scenes again…. Ever
“Why do my eyes hurt?” “Because you’ve never used them before” oh brother lol
I’m sure whoever the Sound Editor for this movie has done some legendary work in horror movies
The fades to black every now and then we’re funny. They reminded me of good old cable tv, I could tell those were the times there would be a commercial break
“I wanna be rich. You know, someone important…. Like an actor” Genius
Honestly my mind started to do that wandering thing again right before the meeting with the Oracle which I think is the usual place it happens but I held strong and stayed the course 💪
The Oracles cookie sounded crunchy as hell. Also I’m sure there was some subtle symbolism going on or whatever was happening but being in the Matrix and willingly choosing to smoke cigarettes is kinda crazy
Not sure what the tvtropes things is but it’s too bad Morpheus got his ass kick so soon after he was established as a badass
Cypher gleefully hopping onto Morpheus’ lap is something I could’ve went without
Btw I don’t even have to search it to know there’s a bunch of “Cyrus was right” believers out there
I know it’s the matrix so it’s not real and they had a mission to save Morpheus but it was kinda funny how they just shot up those officers at the check in area. The “holy shit” really humanized the guy and they just got lit up on some gta shit.
Obviously this isn’t in anyway an original thought but it would’ve been really cool to see this in theaters in 3D
The Bullet Time scene or whatever the hell it’s called is iconic and I did think it was cool and I know it was a somewhat of a payoff for Neos question to Morpheus earlier in the movie but him getting nicked by some of the bullets took away a bit of the aura from the scene. About as much as finding out his name is Thomas
Love how the subway fight started with cracked knuckles and then officially started with Gunshots
Neo stayed in the matrix like he wanted a fight and then ran like a bitch when he saw a train couldn’t stop Hugo
I know it’s a movie but Trinity falling in love with Neo is some bullshit. Barely even knew the guy. I feel like she was just influenced by what the oracle told her.
Gotta be honest I didn’t like/love it enough to get right on the sequels but I will probably eventually.
Yea I know people can still get killed by people they met online but I remember the big scare that was going on at the time this mixtape came out, sexting and all. But meeting people online even if it’s not for dating but especially with dating is so normalized now that it’s just funny to hear the line since it is still pretty dangerous but not feared as much anymore
