"The Matrix" trilogy 1 is the most classic, excellent in art and ideas, the whole film is made in one go, it is natural, without any urine spots; 3 a few times, the visual effect is good, the battle in the rain, the defense of Zion is shocking; 2 Worst, the story is long and protracted, the plot is chaotic, there are many characters, the performance is exaggerated, and a large number of plots are dispensable. Many people are confused after watching 2 and are at a loss.

But when it comes to ideological nature, 2 is the most profound and classic. Unfortunately, it is very laborious to express philosophy and thinking in movies. You are a long story, deep dialogue, gorgeous, but incomprehensible, you inadvertently touched the audience’s lazy nerves and forced them to think. This is too difficult. This is not a review of high numbers. This is a popcorn movie. Overthinking is Hurt art.

The thinking is wonderful, the art is very weak, not enough for thinking and playing. What's more, the script of Black 2 is messy and messy. A lot of people who don’t need to appear on the scene say a lot of unnutritious words. Many of the characters are unclear about their relationship. They have not remembered their looks. They disappeared, and they didn’t come out for a long time, like the Dream of Red Mansions. Same. Everyone's performances are not in place, dramatic, exaggerated, and unnatural, with accents, like acting on a stage.

These are not attractive and make people sleepy. Moreover, the heroine is also old and not beautiful. Even if it is a sex scene, no one likes to watch it.

Trying to tell a grand story, but it is not clear. This is the tragedy of 2, making it the least artistic and ugly part of the trilogy. Why is 3 better than 2? Because there are more people who died in 3, most of the supporting role clues have been cut off, and there is not much thought. The story is smoother, the plot is simpler, and the audience is not tired to watch, so it looks good. But there are still some fragments, such as the station dialogue and the rain battle dialogue, which are more incomprehensible and make the film less enjoyable.

First of all, the audience is here for entertainment, not for education. If you are too complicated, people will not be interested. If you want to study philosophy, you can go home and watch "Being and Time" instead of watching a movie.

Secondly, the use of films to educate the people is a tradition in our country, not an American tradition. What humanity lacks is not education, but infection and moving.

However, there are a few lines in 2 that are very classic. If you don't watch it in the cinema or watch the disc at home, you can see a lot of meaning, because you can watch it repeatedly and you can understand it.

The most important line in 2 is the dialogue between the designer at the end of the film and Neo, which reveals the ins and outs of the story of the entire trilogy, but the talk is too fast and too convoluted, and many people don't understand it at once. The theme is that Neo and Zion are both test platforms for system upgrades. They belong to the mode of human + matrix control. Every once in a while, the system upgrade code (Neo) is debugged, and the system upgrade starts. After the upgrade is complete, restart it. , There is a new test platform (New Zion) and New Neo, so the title is "Reloaded", reloading (reloading), just like after the windows patch, restart the system.

Then there are a few lines that are also very exciting.

Oracle and Neo’s square talk. Neo realized that Oracle is not a human being, it is a system program, even the main program of the system. His question is "How can I trust you?" As the rebels of the matrix, they believed in Oracle for a lifetime, and then their friends changed. "The enemy", so I began to doubt life. Oracle's answer is simple, "It's up to you to decide."

I think the simplest question is...
how can I trust you? Was right
Needless to say, this is a dilemma
but unfortunately you can not really know if I come to help you
completely up to you to decide
you have to judge for yourself these words I want to say the following trade-off
sugar it?
Do you already know if I can eat? If you don’t know I’m not a prophet,
but you already know how I choose?
You are not here to make a choice. You have already chosen.
You are here to understand why you made that choice?
I thought you had figured out now
why you came here? For the same reason,
I like to eat sweets.
Why do you want to help us?
We are here to do what we are here.
I am interested in one thing: the future
Believe that the only way for us to reach the future is for us to work together
and have the same program as yours? Do not! Wouldn't
you see those birds?
At some point, you need to write programs to control them.
In addition , you need to write programs for trees to move, wind, and sun
. Everything depends on the program to control
those programs that perform their duties and perform their duties. It is invisible to
you or even forever. they will not know the presence of other programs ...
but you had often heard them
I've never heard you certainly heard
that every time you hear someone say they saw the devil or an angel when
each When you hear about vampires, werewolves, or aliens, it
means that the system is absorbing their programs to
do things they shouldn't do.
Program hijacking programs?
Why? They all have their own reasons,
but when a program is deleted, they usually choose to exile.
Why do they want to delete a program? Maybe it was destroyed,
maybe it was replaced by a better new program. This is a common thing.
At this time, a program can choose to come here to hide...
or return to the source of the code,
which is the computer host. Yes,
you have to go. Where
is there to clear your hostile program
? You have been there in your dream, right?
There is a light gate.
What happens when you pass through that gate?
I saw Trinity...
and
a bad thing.
She started to fall and then I woke up.
Did you see her dead? No
You already have the ability to predict, Neo,
what you see is a world without time.
Why can't I see what happened to her?
We will never see those choices beyond our ability to understand.
Are you saying that Trinity’s death must be my choice?
No, you have made the choice. All you have to
do now is to understand it.
No,
I can’t do it, can’t
you do it. Why?
Because you are the savior of the world,
why can't I do it?
What if I fail?
That is the
time for Zion’s failure . Listen to me, if you can reach the source of the code...
you can save Zion. But you need the help of the
unlocker?
Yes, he disappeared not long ago and we still don’t know his whereabouts.
He was kidnapped by a dangerous program. It
was our earliest program. The name was "Merowenga".
He didn't want the lock opener to move freely. What did he want?
What do all powerful people want? More power to
remember!
Get there at the appointed time you will have a chance.
We should go.
It seems that every time I meet, I will bring you some bad news.
I’m sorry, I’m really sorry,
but the good news is...
you finally chose to believe me

and then they Some interesting topics were discussed: human selectivity, uncertainty in the future, choices beyond comprehension, and understanding of choices.

People have already chosen most of the choices. Life is not about choosing, but choosing and then understanding, such as falling in love, getting married, or having children. That's it. They have chosen, but don’t understand, and understand it in a lifetime.

So is the future fatalistic? Is life formalized? No, there is another choice, which is beyond understanding. For example, if Neo chooses to save Trinity, he will sacrifice Zion and sacrifice the entire human race. This is an incomprehensible choice. Because he went to save Trinity, according to the matrix's script, it would cause the system to fail to upgrade and humans would perish, and he would not survive, even if he was a specially strengthened human being assembled by the matrix.

So what's the point of saving Trinity? This is a choice beyond understanding.

This question is answered by the third and fourth lines.

The third paragraph of lines, smith dialogue with Mourinho on the square,

and now I stand here simply because you, Mr. Anderson,
because of you, I am no longer the mother of the agents
because you and I have changed, I deleted
it can be said I have become a new person now, just like you, I now have free will
. I should congratulate you.
Thank you.
But you also know that your appearance is deceptive.
That’s why I’m here again.
We didn’t come here because of freedom. We are not here because we are not free to
escape. There is no reason to deny.
Because we all know that if there is no meaning...
there is no meaning of our existence, creating our
meaning, connecting our meaning, manipulating our
meaning, guiding us, meaning driving us, and
also stipulating meaning. ...The meaning of restraining us.
We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson.
We want to take away from you. What you want to take away from us
is meaning.

Smith got a new life and free will because of his fight with Neo. He no longer belongs to the system program of the matrix. He is free, but freedom makes him confused.

Because he is an empty existence, there is no necessary existence, but it exists. He is like an orphan, with no father or mother, no goal in life, no value in life, everyone has a pursuit, all have uses, he has no, he has no use, no meaning, so he panicked.

If humans have no goals in life, then in order to keep animals alive is also a goal. For example, you have to work to eat and drink, right? You have to integrate into society, right? Even homeless people have to eat, drink and sleep, pick up trash, right? But Smith doesn't need it. He is a program. He is neither thirsty nor hungry nor tired. The system doesn't need him yet. He can run around and has super powers that can copy everyone and become himself. This ability is too cool and dazzling, super-killing, but it's useless. What's the point of copying ten million yourself? He felt inexplicably empty, very empty.

So he began to look for meaning. The meaning he chose was very simple. He killed Neo, copied Neo as himself, and then proved that he was the only existence. In the matrix, Smith is already invincible, and even the machine emperor can’t help him. Although he doesn’t really want to destroy the matrix, (in fact, he doesn’t understand what a matrix is), but his choice results in destroying everything, humans and matrix. It's all over. This is the bear child born in the matrix. The bear is terrific and crazy because of free will. (By the way, don't give the program free will)

Smith believes that copying Neo to become himself is his meaning, the meaning of life.

In fact, this meaning cannot be used to understand the meaning of choice in the Oracle Neo dialogue, because what is the meaning? This is tossing, this is just circumstantial evidence.

There is also a fourth paragraph of lines. The fourth paragraph is Morpheus's pre-war mobilization before everyone goes to the source of the code, about the meaning of war and the meaning of death.

We will do whatever it takes to fight to the death. I firmly believe that there must be a cutoff
tonight. Tonight is
not accidental. Nothing is accidental.
We are not here by accident. We don’t believe in accident.
I can see three goals, three captains, and three battleships. The
only thing I can’t see is by chance I saw the fate and
the meaning.
I believe that we are here because of fate and destiny.
I believe that tonight is all about us. People
are directly related to the meaning of life
...
what's wrong? Naobi
Morpheus, I can't help thinking, what do you do if you are wrong?
What if all of this, including prophecies, is groundless?
Tomorrow is our anniversary!
But how is it different from other days?
This is war. We are soldiers.
Death will come at any time
...
Regardless of time or location,
we will think about
if I am right? If the prophecy is true?
If the war will end tomorrow,
isn’t it worth fighting for, is
n’t it worth sacrificing?



Morpheus was superstitious and prophesied. He believed that as long as he entered the source of the code, the war would end and peace would come. He didn’t know that it was just a step in the system upgrade. It had nothing to do with war or peace. The people of Zion still Will die, all die, their lives are meaningless.

Death follows in the footsteps of life. If the war fails, it is death, but how different is the life and death? Stress, pain, anxiety, infinite struggle for life, infinite incomprehension, doubt, vacillation, and confusion. What is the meaning of such a life? Why should you fear death, why not fight to the death?

In order to eliminate the fear of death and the fear of being attacked and enslaved, people need to rise up and resist, and need to realize the value of sacrifice, for permanent peace, for the end of the war, and to get rid of fear, one should fight bravely and fearlessly. Death is not just fear, but sometimes it is also a kind of relief, a meaning of changing the world, a meaning of resisting fate.

The meaning of life is there, but there is still one thing missing. This is the fifth line, which is the content of Morpheus's mobilization speech in Zion City-courage.

Compatriots of Zion, I said that
many of the news you have heard are true.
Robots are gathering troops.
At this moment
, we are approaching our homeland step by step. Please believe me, we will face a difficult situation,
but as long as we do well. Fully preparation must first eliminate the fear in
my heart. I am standing in front of you now, without the slightest fear.
Why?
Do I believe in something you don't believe in?
No,
I stand here without fear because I still remember...
I still remember that I can stand here not because of the unoccurring future
but because of the past we have experienced!
I remember that we have been fighting those robots for
more than a hundred years. I remember that for more than a hundred years they have been sending troops to destroy us.
After more than a hundred years of war, what I remember most clearly is...
we still stand. it's here!
Tonight ...
let us put such a message and tell our enemies
tonight we want here Perfect Storm
tonight, we let the earth tremble for us and
we want to make our voices heard throughout the planet
here is Zion ! We are fearless!

Judging from Matrix’s script, Zion’s temporary existence is only to help Neo level and then upgrade the system. Zion’s destruction is inevitable. Human courage is meaningless. The body cannot beat the machine, and the electronic squid will destroy everything. .

Where does human courage come from? Is it faith? Is it superstition? Is it philosophy? Is it the truth of life, is life chicken soup?

No, in the face of threats, reason tells mankind that courage is useless. If man can't beat a machine, Zion will die, and everyone will die.

But where does Morpheus' courage come from?

I stand here without fear because I still remember...
I still remember that I can stand here not because of the unoccurring future
but because of the past we have experienced!

The hope of survival and the history of defeating failure are sources of courage. A person is still alive, which is the greatest victory and the greatest courage.

It's not easy for people to survive. You can't survive just by pretending to be grandchildren. You have to overcome many calamities, solve many problems, and use courage to fight off fear. As long as you are still alive in the world without death, it is the greatest courage. Life itself is natural courage and does not require rational guidance.

To live is to succeed, but not to succeed forever. In order to continue to live, one should be fearless and fight bravely. In the face of death, we have won everything, and we have won so far, why not continue to win?

Sometimes the courage of life is the meaning of life. Don't confess defeat lightly, it doesn't make sense.

-

Regarding the second line, there is another sentence that is also very profound.

You already have the ability to predict, Neo,
what do you see in a world without time.

What is a world without time?

For example, the program, the source code lies there, how to execute it step by step, all kinds of judgments, branches, jumps, and loops are clear at a glance.

The program has no time, it just lies there quietly, just a logical existence where time is zero. But its execution takes time. Whether it runs for an hour or 10,000 years, you know its results and causality, because you have seen the source code and the future.

Is the universe a world without time? A program, then started, is executing? When we see time, we don't see freedom, opportunity, and choice, but see "Everything has a beginning and an end", from begin to end.

"Everything has a beginning and an end" is what Oracle said to Smith in 2, and Smith said to Neo in 3.

It's also the same problem to get rid of the topic of the universe and just talk about humans. Humans have a beginning and an end, and they won't exist forever, including the machine city. The machine city and human beings are both interdependent and looking for meaning. I don’t see the meaning of the machine city on the earth without human beings. What is the meaning of being alone?

Meaning, a question that only intelligent creatures can think about. When a machine has wisdom, it will have emptiness, and it will be afraid of emptiness.

...

However, the universe is not a program, the universe is the result of calculations. The machine city wants to understand the universe as a program. Its thinking, and the designer's thinking, including Oracle's thinking, are not correct. The universe is simply the calculation result of superposition and evolution of simple rules, and it evolves in layers. The intelligent thinking of humans and machines does not belong to the original rules, original procedures, but the result of the calculation of the rules. Perhaps the rule of the universe is a simple law of physics, but our love, hatred, and hatred are not directly related to the laws of physics. Life is the result of its calculation, the appearance of the result, and the appearance after layered evolution.

The universe must have an end, and everything will return to nothingness, but the understanding of the universe has no end, and it exists forever because it has no time.

We are afraid of nihility, so we look for meaning, but the nihility is full of meaning. That is the meaning of not needing time, but I can't figure out what it is. I don’t know what is the meaning of being alive, just to repeat everything from the predecessors? Or do you use your life in battle, like Morpheus, to fight the inevitable death and defeat? Maybe the latter is right.

Why should we succumb? Not yielding to a certain person, a certain organization, a certain society, but why do you want to yield to death? Death comes at any time and can eliminate all mundane meanings, but some meanings are higher than death.

Most of the people in Zion want to live and are annoyed by the altars and pots of life. The worried people gathered in the hall of the temple are the portrayal of life, but the electronic squid can make these completely meaningless, death will come immediately, and life will no longer occur. Exist, human beings do not stay. But Morpheus is different. Even if you killed him, he is meaningful because he is an unyielding warrior. He knows danger, strength and weakness, but not fear.

Fear is the life instinct of ordinary people. Through fear to avoid disasters, but after understanding life, we can avoid and live without fear.

What do you want to say?
Can I dodge bullets?
No, Neo,
I mean you
don’t have to hide when you’re ready

-Black 1 lines

are like this. When you understand it, you don’t have the fear of the unknown.
