It's much cooler than the first in terms of visual art, but in terms of storytelling, it seems to be just a link between the previous and the next, expanding the story universe and paving the way for subsequent stories.
The conversation between Neo and the Prophet was necessary but felt a bit long, and when it came to the conversation with the Architect, at the beginning? ? ? What kind of setting is this, the first half is a bit difficult to understand, and the second half is boring... Maybe I didn't see it for the pursuit of some philosophy. Let me tell you what I think stands out. The fight scene on the highway blows up, and I give the action scene the first place! All kinds of ingenuity, all kinds of characters, all kinds of tricks, sci-fi stories are full of punches, so cool! The fight scene with the Smiths in front of them is really the culmination of what I have seen, Keanu, the Wachowskis have you great, and "The Matrix" has you great! ! ! There is a reason why your costumes are expensive. The flying hem is the hero's long gown and the clouds and rain!
I don't understand a bit of the arrangement, but the keymaker's camera processing. During the fight scene on the highway, the camera flashed the keymaker's thoughtful face from time to time. I thought it was implying something, or he was actually a "bad guy", But it's clear that he was just an ordinary tool guy until the end...and one more thing I want to say is that this guy is very Japanese.
Also, Niobe and the others were there at the beginning of the chapter, and the commanders, councilors, and councils who appeared later, I was wondering if I had missed something. Obviously, in the first part, I thought it was Morpheus fighting alone! Just mentioned a Zion, nothing! ! ! The director also left too many "tails", and it was too obvious that this second part was used as a starting tool. For example, when Zion was a person (it should be a Smith clone) who wanted to kill Neo, that is, the captains met and said that the only one The surviving person, as well as Neo's little fanboy, just pulled it out and had little influence on the progress of the story.
There are a lot of oriental cultural elements in this film. Neo and Seraph (the original name of this "guardian angel" is script editing software, it can be ok) used various weapons when fighting, gestures to fight, etc. Are there many Western directors? I also love the mysterious power of oriental culture. 2333 There are also western myths. Persephone is so suitable. At that time, I felt that Trinity was shriveled (but she did lose weight in this drama...), but when Persephone first appeared, she didn't I know why I remembered Liv Tyler in The Lord of the Rings, and even automatically replaced Arwen's face in The Lord of the Rings with Monica Bellucci...
Choice, this word forms the core of the film's philosophical discussion. Neo's choice was predicted by the prophet and also by the Architect, but his choice was still beyond the Architect's expectations, after all, the sixth edition. The film also repeatedly emphasizes the purpose, and I will not comment on the philosophical thing. The Wachowskis are not simple.
After reading this one, I solved my doubts about the first one, that is, this is a sci-fi movie, why should I emphasize the one, priest or prophet, it turns out that this person is a bug of the program. But in fact, if there is a one-to-one correspondence between the real world and computer programs, everything does have its own set of natural laws, and this natural law corresponds to a program (program, you can say it is a natural law, or you can say who wrote the program, just It's the same logic as the episode of Rick's spaceship lights battery powered), the law corresponds to the procedure, the savior is indeed a bug-like existence, a hero who creates the current situation, a special existence that surpasses the public, and is beyond the control of the "system". If If there really is such a system. (Speaking of this, I mainly think of the character who "counts the most romantic people and looks at the present".)
Bugs aren't necessarily a bad thing, but they're not necessarily a good thing either.
