choice, faith, garden of eden

Was amazed by the first part, trying to find the amazing point in the second part, well, he is not finished yet. Honestly, like all franchises, sequels are always a little off. Neo's fight scene is really not amazing enough. I prefer the scene where the three forces are chasing and racing on the highway. The two twin brothers are not bad. In the end, the picture of Neo flying at the speed of light to save them is very interesting (after all, it is the one films of the 1990s). What impressed me most were the speeches made by Morpheus before the war, which reminded me of the speeches of ancient Greece. Sure enough, as a crowd, I like to listen to those simple and crude slogans, which are a bit like a doomsday carnival. For Morpheus, I think this is a Hanhan who rejects the truth and lives entirely by faith. Well, a big Hanhan. If he believes in evil, he may be a reactionary. A few points of view and lines in the second part are quite interesting and worth scrutinizing and scolding people: "I like French culture, it's like wiping my ass with silk." "Man in power, what he needs is more so much power" "The reason is to understand the source of strength, without reason there is no power" "reason or emotion, which one do you choose in the end?" In the final climax, Neo chooses to save his lover, which makes me think, um... The main brain, the creator, is talking nonsense... After Neo directly started to press the heart to resuscitate the heroine, I was wondering if Neo was going to become a god directly, and that's okay? Writers can. At this moment, wouldn't it be more emotional to let the heroine die? God created the Garden of Eden, a world that is too perfect. That world is destined to collapse. It only needs to change a few programs, let human beings have the right to choose, and make the world full of regrets in order to last forever. Including in the programming world, there are also mutated codes, which are viruses, not to mention the human world.

(All the above is nonsense)

    From part 2 onwards, the series gets pretty confusing. I think that more than 95% of people have two states after reading it: they think they don't understand it at all, or they think they understand it, but they don't understand it at all. Well, I belong to the former. In the end, it was only with the help of the tenth screening room's explanation and various film critics that I could barely figure it out... it's too obscure and difficult!

    The plot is in the last 20 minutes, and a large part of the previous period is constantly fighting. Every time the fight is over, I can't remember how they would fight together...

The Matrix Reloaded quotes

  • Neo: Are there other programs like you?

    The Oracle: Oh, well, not like me. But... look, see those birds? At some point a program was written to govern them. A program was written to watch over the trees, and the wind, the sunrise, and sunset. There are programs running all over the place. The ones doing their job, doing what they were meant to do, are invisible. You'd never even know they were here. But the other ones, well, we hear about them all the time.

    Neo: I've never heard of them.

    The Oracle: Oh, of course you have. Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel. Every story you've ever heard about vampires, werewolves, or aliens, is the system assimilating some program that's doing something they're not supposed to be doing.

  • Councillor Hamann: I hate sleeping. I figured, I've slept the first eleven years of my life away, so now I'm just making up for it.
