Re: The Matrix

First DiF I listened to, and was also able to do so without actually watching the film at the same time. Perfect for those painstakingly long roto jobs. And, for a moment there, I also thought this would be the standard for the upcoming episodes. You know, loving, not hating? tongue

Re: The Matrix

Very good stuff, guys. Great analysis of the "Rorschach test" of philosophy in the film. It's a really stylish action picture that is, at its core, a rather nonsensical messiah story. Forget the humans-as-batteries conceit; the part that doesn't make sense is the idea of The One.

I noticed that red sweater thing on cypher. I always thought that he had been the captain of the ship and been over run my Morpheus.

Interesting.

I don't have time to puzzle over it, but I read his first two posts, and I like the ideas he's talking about. Not sure if they'd actually hold up to scrutiny.

Paging Dorkman to thread 21.

Re: The Matrix

Those posts... (TL;DR most of it)... but.... okay, it's an intriguing retcon fo' sho', but thinking this was the ACTUAL intent discards, as Trey would have said, Every Other Movie Ever or even The Process of Making Movies.

If he could pry that conclusion from the movies; good for him! It's fun,  but, don't believe for a nanosecond that was "planned ahead" in any way/shape/form.

I'm so glad they never made a sequel to this film.
