"The Matrix Series" epic sci-fi masterpiece! The series is divided into 4 parts, namely "The Matrix" in 1999 and "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", "The Matrix 3: The Matrix Revolution" and "The Matrix Animated Edition" in 2003. The Matrix Animated Edition is divided into 9 short stories, which are supplements and improvements to the background information of the three main works. It can be said that this series has a certain threshold for watching movies. If you don't start from the beginning, it will be difficult to understand. to the essence of the series. The first "Matrix" focuses on finding and awakening the savior Neo. In the future world, human beings have lost the war with intelligent machines and have completely become the battery of the machine world. The consciousness of the vast majority of human beings is trapped in a virtual world Matrix by machines and does not know it. A very small number of awakened human beings try to end the war, and Neo is the savior of human beings in the prophecy. In the real world of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", the city of Zion, formed by human awakeners, faces the siege of an army of machines. The awakened savior Neo, under the guidance of the prophet, revealed the whole picture of the Matrix. In the engineer's ultimate multiple-choice question, he chose the original human nature - love. "The Matrix 3: The Matrix Revolution" When the city of Zion was at stake, Neo sacrificed himself, restarted and upgraded the Matrix, and temporarily saved the awakened humans. On the basis of the first two parts, the meaning of the existence of Matrix is ​​revealed, the huge world view has been established so far, and the final connection between humans and machines has finally been revealed to the world. It turns out that the existence of the savior is just to make it easier for the machine world to control the Matrix. Neo is not the first savior, nor will it be the last. The hope that Zion City has is only the machine world deliberately does it. Everything of human beings has always been in the machine world. under absolute control. And all this has only one purpose, the machine world is stealing a trait of humans that cannot be copied by them - evolution! And the reason why Neo can succeed this time is because he has more love for Trinity than the previous saviors, and it is this love that temporarily saves mankind. The directors Wachowski brothers used these 4 films to construct a huge and profound world view! The story centers on Neo, the savior, and the trilogy maps the body, mind, and soul with programs, systems, and machine worlds. Deep thinking on many aspects such as machine intelligence, human future and love. 4 parts are indispensable, and the overall evaluation is 9 points! ps: I have been thinking that it would be better if the male protagonist Keanu Reeves was replaced by someone else!

The Matrix quotes

  • Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

  • Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    [Neo's eyes suddenly wander towards a woman in a red dress]

    Morpheus: Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

    Neo: I was...

    Morpheus: [gestures with one hand] Look again.

    [the woman in the red dress is now Agent Smith, pointing a gun at Neo's head; Neo ducks]

    Morpheus: Freeze it.

    [Everybody and everything besides Neo and Morpheus freezes in time]

    Neo: This... this isn't the Matrix?

    Morpheus: No. It is another training program designed to teach you one thing: if you are not one of us, you are one of them.
