Compared with the first part, the second part is less of the connection and discovery of the original reality and the virtual mother world. Can see the grand idea for this series. At the beginning of the film, a long description of the world of Zion, which is constantly mentioned in the discourse in the first part, began, and the world view also has the ambition of an epic masterpiece. It is no longer a simple story between the original computer and the real world, plus, Regarding the struggle against resistance, against a series of frameworks similar to nationalism. It is bound to be no longer a simple "Matrix" in the future, and the focus is no longer on "hackers" but on "empires."

Simple sci-fi stories are not enough for celebrities and shadow history, and they need to be mixed with more thinking. To put it bluntly, such a Matrix is ​​covered with a sci-fi shell, and its core is definitely not the ultimate thinking about philosophical mankind and the meaning of life as conveyed in the previous step. The maternal world is just a clue. What the real inner core wants to express is a view of human beings, the meaning of the world, that is, the purpose. I have always liked the words of the prophet, the priest

You have made your choice. The important thing is not what to choose, but to know the reasons behind your choice.

Obviously, the film also answered the question at the end. The so-called savior and the so-called priest are not omnipotent strangers, but more likely to be just a loophole. They can see all this in the illusory world, but they can also be in the real world. Can you see through the real world? Their appearance may be accidents in itself. As the creator said, the perfect world is inherently wrong. Those accidents are the best reality and are necessary to promote an illusory world that wants to be true. Outside of movies, is the world we live in perfect? ​​It is never perfect for every individual, but is it possible that the natural world is perfect? ​​I don’t think so. Looking at the entire world from ancient times to the 21st century, the emergence of humans is clearly the biggest accident of all. Just as the creator was never surprised by the appearance of the savior in the movie, the accidental appearance of the saviors of the first six terms all appeared before the god of this virtual world as promised. Computers have never needed any loss. Only for humans, they can If the meeting is absent, the savior cannot escape the clutches of choice. What kind of choice is nothing more than looking for a balance. When a person has compassion, can he make the best choice? The Creator, as the God in the mother body, does not care and has no more emotions for the world around him, so that he can discover the real world. The law of operation, your compassion makes you just a worldly person, the real mystery that they can't explore. It reminds me of part of the plot in the sci-fi masterpiece Three Body. When facing balance, Cheng Xin's compassion is exactly what creatures other than humans lack, and it is also a great defect that human beings cannot change. In the film, Neo pursues love, rather than dedicating his life for the sake of human beings who lack hope for a short period of time. In fact, this may also be the characteristic that Neo can be different from other saviors. Although he is a savior, he is also an individual. He is not so much for mankind at the beginning, but for himself. Is this selfish? In fact, there is no individual spirit, and there is no world spirit. Neo is guarding his own world, or he acts through his own experience and feelings. But in the end, what he was exploring was far from his own choice, but the reason that the priest said was to break the real shackles of the world.

In The Matrix 1, they broke the shackles of reality and illusion, and in the second part, they broke the shackles of the laws of the world and their own existence in the matrix. The image of Morpheus in the film has always been a maverick, independent thinking and does not like to stand by the side, he is not like an ordinary warrior eager to understand the truth, he always imagined that everything has its own reason, everything has its own The purpose of the movie can be found. Our existence always has its meaning. After removing the hacker, he also has a strong mysticism around it. The pictures in the film are avant-garde, and the action scenes are uniquely portrayed. The sci-fi film of the movie is incomparable. But the thought comes from mankind itself, and even on the more subtle modern issues regarding the existence of divination. These phenomena are vividly shown in Morpheus’s plot. Almost every corner outside of Morpheus is given fatalism. The helplessness and rebellious spirit brought about. One reason that is popular among audiences is the softness of culture. Although it is possible that the hacker’s culture came from the United States and was developed and developed in the United States, the natural and decent use of Asian culture for divination in the film makes all audiences not feel that it is from Hollywood’s consistent explosion. Inheritance of commercial blockbusters in the style of popcorn. Chinese Kung Fu, Japanese Katana, and mysterious future controllable divination have made the Matrix itself more symbolic. In 2004 Stephen Chow's hit comedy blockbuster Kung Fu, you can even see the shadows of exciting action scenes in The Matrix. The action scenes of blockbuster movies often make Wenyi movies or movies that focus on expressing philosophical ideas deeply criticized. Too much verbal fighting will affect the narrative progress and the continuity of the audience's thoughts. But what if the action scene is exactly the important step he can express this special worldview clearly? In such a sci-fi movie, the application of action aesthetics is brought to the extreme, with exaggerated details in slow motion, and it is not shy to say that the action scenes required by sci-fi movies should be like this. It will not feel bored, but will become a success. Part of the narrative structure.

Existentialism philosophy is an extremely important part of modern philosophy. Its appearance is more in line with modern people’s needs and thinking about the ultimate meaning of life. In the shell of a science fiction film, it will treat everyone in Zion’s spirit of rebellion against the mother. The protagonist discovers his own process and purpose in a different world, and successfully expresses the mystery of our world. This is also one of the important reasons for his success. We watch the film not only to get a sensory experience, but more importantly, to gain ourselves. Thinking, if a film can have both, it will be half the battle. What's more, these narratives are not advanced but directly reach people's hearts?

  • Persephone: ...just a sample.

    Trinity: How about you sample this instead?

    [draws her gun]

  • Neo: I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you?

    The Oracle: Bingo. It is a pickle. No doubt about it. The bad news is there's no way if you can really know whether I'm here to help you or not, so it's really up to you. You just have to make up you on damned mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it.
