what a trip that was. i cant believe that this is my first time watching this film. what a concept to have been developed at such a crazy time of humanity! literally the year 1999 was a perfect time to have released this since the unpredictability and uncertainty of the future was pretty much the whole thing back them (i would imagine cuz i wasnt born then) anywho, i really enjoyed this. the action was pretty top notch. neo and trinity saving morpheus while on a fucking chopper? AMAZING. even the fight sequences were pretty great. having asian influences with the fight choreography was pretty cool and i think worked with the whole thing! the cinematography and overall design of the film was a treat for me. the visuals were really truly very very nice for its time! now i finally get all the green tint color memes around the internet. while watching this, i just kept thinking about how they wrote and came about this. id like to think that it was a lot of like "what if" thoughts of like are we actually real and shit like that. i always like talking about the concept of life and what can be considered as one yk? this film brought out so much questioning one oneself and existence of everything, that alone made this film the classic it is today. i love films that really punches you with a HUUUGE reality check and well, this is probably the perfect film for that. idk i guess everything was just well thought out and really unbelievable just how crazy the concept was and how crazy it was executed on such a big ass scale. the fact that way back in the 90's, we were already considering AI to be such a huge threat to us really stuck with me with watching this. being in the year 2026 and seeing the rise and shall i even say domination of AI in the lives of humans pretty much just gave the people back in the 90's the push they need to think that they were right, AI would be taking over. im personally really scared because the way that things are looking now, we've just been more and more reliant on it and the accessibility of it is just far too, well, accessible. the more it develops and progresses, the more us humans become backwards and slow. its a pretty sad reality but here i am hoping that it wouldn't get to a point where we would really be just like the matrix. this is exactly why people should realise that they are capable of doing things for themselves and people should learn to see the beauty in that. AI was created to do menial tasks for us so that we wouldn't have to exert more effort than we should. in hindsight its a good thing but the more we rely in it, the more we would also forget why things are worth doing in the first place. an example i would have is music. i love listening to music! opening up spotify and being able to have the option to just scroll through endless selections of music is really convenient to have! that's pretty much the norm now and what i would say that people consider "better". so now, why would anyone not do that, right? why do people need to buy a record player for example, it would be just a waste of resources cuz u could listen to the same thing in spotify? well, wrong. opening up a vinyl, cleaning it, brushing it, placing it on the player, moving the needle to the track you want, flipping the record, those are just some of the things that i think is worth the "hassle"! its a whole different experience to do all that. its something that i appreciate and love! its the extra effort that makes it feel different. i hope im making sense because yes! it's also the same thing with watching films at home and watching a film at the theatre! people would say why would u have to pay and watch outside when you can watch at home. again, its the process of doing it that's worth it! its a whole different experience that i feel like people would take for granted just like a lot of things in this life! if people get too reliant, we would eventually wont even make true connections with another person. i believe that feeling connected to other people in a way that makes you feel like you're not the only one in this world is something beautiful that we should cherish while we all still could. i guess if there's one thing that i want to say to people after watching this movie, it would be this: **take a breather and find the beauty in the mundane, the ordinary, and the inconveniences in life. ** yeah, i guess that's it. idk i think i have to lay down more and just think about life right now and all that shit. im also pretty sure that this whole review was all over the place. there's just so much to unpack from this film and my mind is just fried LOL. oh a reason why this isnt a whole 5/5 was because i didn't like the end where trinity was in love with neo, idk it feels like a "wth" moment to me. it was too fast i guess and it felt somewhat forced since it was the oracle who told her that so irdk if she aksh loved neo because of a moment or something t
