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.

I only watched it 22 years later, and I still feel very shocked! Very hard-core science fiction plus Zen Eastern philosophy, the focus is to be very romantic at the same time. From today's point of view, the worldview, concept and even the costumes in the movie are still very advanced. I really like the dialogue between Neo and Oracle. The core of the whole story is Know yourself. What others tell you is not important. You have to believe in the talents from the bottom of your heart. create a miracle. Everyone has to believe in something to make a disruptive change. There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Whether you choose a red pill or a blue pill, it’s all human nature. Maybe most people will choose to deceive themselves in the virtual world and live a life of comfort and unconsciousness, but that’s it A precious few people prefer not to be controlled or deceived. They choose to live in the cold reality and fight continuously throughout their lives. Wachoiski is really awesome

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.
