No wonder there is a philosophical label

It was the first time I saw this kind of work, and after I gradually got used to the dark picture and the green fluorescent code string, I began to like it.
Doubt about the world, and the pursuit of truth must be the tone of this film. Doubting the world is nothing but a superposition of multisensory effects, I have done it before, but there is no such clear doubt system. Despite the skepticism, the worldview is positive: respect for those who express fate, but fate is in your own hands. So Meng doesn't let Neo speak the words of the prophet, leaving the future open to the end.
The question of whether he is the savior is finally answered in love (love is the answer). The savior does not seem to be a destiny, but is experienced (existence precedes essence), and the strength during training comes from the trust and self-confidence of others in oneself.
He said that he was Neo and not Anderson, and answered the identity of 'who am I'. Different identities represent different personalities. The former is a self-made hero, and the latter is a little white-collar worker who is reprimanded by the leader and is afraid of climbing the window.
How to come back from death? The spirit is the power of love, and the physical recovery seems to have chosen the oriental meditation and martial arts. After taking a long breath, people feel refreshed. It seems that Eastern martial arts and judo are mysterious enough in the eyes of Westerners, and have the effect of bringing back the dead.
Oh, this 1999 film is full of modernity, and the clothes and architecture are not bad. Although the mobile phone is a bit big brother, but when watching the film, I just feel that it is very retro, and it is not old-fashioned at all. From this classic sci-fi, I saw the way Avatar made humans, the dream-taking mechanism and the definition of death in Inception. I wonder if The Matrix is ​​the originator of these sci-fi rules.
In view of 'everything is comparable', the Matrix and Second 5 both explore loneliness and love. The former gathers a group of crazy and firm belief elites to find the real world behind the code alone, during which love is given to The courage of man to face the cruel reality; the latter searches for another missing figure in the lonely memory and the vast starry sky. Whether it is looking for truth or looking for outer space, loneliness and love are the main lines.

(It's messy, it's a short review, and the result is too many words, so I have to come here)

  • [on the war that devastated the Real World]

    Morpheus: We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
