The soul is gone, the skin is still there

If you didn't think of "Matrix: revolutions" as the finale of the great epic trilogy, it should be said that it is still good. This is a bit like the "Alien" series, some gloomy, a bit faster. When we looked back, we found that our understanding of "reload" was all wrong: the second episode of the Wachowski Brothers did not intend to continue discussing anything, they were just transitioning. When we thought that the gongs and drums were the beginning of the show, they were actually preparing to use a few dazzling gestures to end the pose.

If you put aside the soul of hacker one-the kind of understanding about survival in the electronic age is not to be discussed. Revolutions is a great action science fiction blockbuster. Zion’s offensive and defensive war has set a new standard for the film industry, and the space war in Star Wars has therefore been eclipsed. As you can see, this scene has a good sense of scene. Unlike many science fiction films, when the main part of the scene looks good, it seems that there is no battle in other places.

Just talk about this episode, and the ending design is pretty good. In my understanding: the architect finally told Orcale that you took a big risk, which meant that Orcale was duplicated by Smith deliberately. What she said to Neo, "there is a beginning, there is an end" is a secret sign, telling Neo what to do-let smith duplicate him too. Because one is that neither neo nor smith can actually kill anyone, and the other is that neo can convey smith's code to the matrix, and the matrix can destroy him. We saw that the people who were finally copied by Smith returned to their true colors. The problem is that after two episodes of The Matrix, we all have a wealth of associations, and we have established the matrix and zion in our own minds. We hope that the story will be improved, improved, improved, and the connotation expanded, expanded, expanded. And I'm afraid the Wachowski brothers are worried. As a result, they are becoming more and more unclear and completely messed up-this is entirely possible, and now many people say they don't understand. Besides, I am afraid that 70% of the people are going for the coolness of the film. Ending the matrix in this way is simple and straightforward, lively and beautiful. The only flaw is the loss of its speculative black metaphysical style.

From "Star Wars" to "Hacker" series, I found that even such a talented director can hardly continue to make a great series of movies. Just look at the lines of these two series. They will fall into their own trap and get lost in the world created by themselves such as "force", "destiny", and "choice". Maybe those with works like "The Godfather" and "Lord of the Rings" can do better.

In general, I am not disappointed with revolutions, I only feel a little regretful. After all, the "choice" of the Wachowski brothers is not the "choice" we want. The soul, maybe lost; the skin, I think it's not bad.

    The special effects are dazzling. I still don’t understand it very well, I need to review it

The Matrix Revolutions quotes

  • Oracle: The great and powerful Oracle. We meet at last. I suppose you've been expecting me, right? The all-knowing Oracle is never surprised. How can she be, she knows everything. But If that's true, then why is she here? If she knew I was coming, why didn't she leave?

    [sweeps plate of cookies off table]

    Agent Smith: Maybe you knew I was going to do that, maybe you didn't. If you did, that means you baked those cookies and set that plate right there deliberately, purposefully. Which means you're sitting there also deliberately, purposefully.

    Oracle: What did you do with Sati?

    Agent Smith/Sati: Cookies need love like everything does.

    Oracle: You are a bastard, you know that?

    Agent Smith/Seraph: You would know, Mom.

  • Agent Smith: [as he and his clones are about to explode] Oh, no no no no... no, it's not fair!
