Science fiction can also shock the soul

After watching this movie for the first time, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and my sense of self was strongly shocked in multiple dimensions. First of all, kung fu and gunfights contain obvious traces of Hong Kong movies, and the characters' fashion and cool looks are also considered, all of which really arouse the audience's emotions, and the key moments of the plot always make people excited. The other is the impact of visual effects. The glass wall vibrates and then shatters, and the bullet trajectory is wavy. These settings are very creative. More in-depth, this film is not so much a worry about AI, but more about thinking about human nature and human society, which is why it is so shocking. For example, a line from Smith: Human being define their reality through misery and suffering... you are not actually mammals... a virus... a disease, a cancer of this planet... a plague. Of course the whole story is about human nature It is not pessimistic, but it is obvious that the combative rebellion of human nature will guarantee survival, and that a perfect life can never satisfy the human spiritual world.

Neo: What is it?
Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

[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.
