The Matrix Dodge This
Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines that live off of the humans' body heat and electrochemical energy and who imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents: super-powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion.
The Matrix.when I first heard about it, I expected just another sci-fi action thriller. Good and filled with insane stunts, but not terribly intelligent. Boy, was I wrong.
Famous Matrix scene. Otterbox Defender Series Hybrid Case & Holster for iPhone 4 & 4S – Retail Packaging – Black. The iPhone 4S is everything we were hoping for and more! The Assistant “Siri” alone is totally worth protecting. Good thing we’ve got a Defender Series for iPhone 4Sready to keep her safe. The Matrix: The Agents, though they can't dodge everything. Dodging bullets also requires them to have their feet on the ground, which Trinity takes advantage of in the second movie. This recent article offers a great insight into the role of the matrix in the success of Fiat Chrysler and its CEO Sergio Marchionne. It is yet another proof, that when done right, the matrix structure is the optimal solution for a company, which must excel in being both global and local in order to survive.
Oh, the stunts are there in spades, all right, and yes, they are awesome. And the special effects are absolutely amazing (even if similar ones have been used in other movies as a result- and not explained as well). But the movie has plot as well. It has characters that I cared about. From Keanu Reeves' excellent portrayal of Neo, the man trying to come to grips with his own identity, to Lawrence Fishburne's mysterious Morpheus, and even the creepy Agents, everyone does a stellar job of making their characters more than just the usual action 'hero that kicks butt' and 'cannon fodder' roles. I cared about each and every one of the heroes, and hated the villains with a passion.
It has a plot, and it has a meaning.and lo and behold, a plot does help the fight scenes! Just try it, if you haven't seen the movie before. Watch one of the fight scenes. Then watch the whole movie. There's a big difference in the feeling and excitement of the scenes- sure, they're great as standalones, but the whole thing put together is an experience unlike just about everything else that's come to the theaters.
Think about it next time you're watching one of the more brainless action flicks.think how much better it COULD be. All I can say is WATCH THIS MOVIE. If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the best films of all time. It isn't just special effects, folks.
Agents Can Dodge Bullets Baby!Let’s pause for a second. Neo fired 20 shots at the guy and he dodged every single one of them. The bullets would be traveling at around 1,100 feet per second. That’s 750 mph. They were all fired in about 8 seconds. So, without going into too crazy math calculations, this guy can move fast.Once Neo is out of options, it’s the Agent’s turn who fires away. We then see Neo’s famous ‘bending over backwards dodging bullets but not fast enough so his quads and shoulders’ are scraped scene.
Neo's Famous SceneThat was pretty badass. But now what? The Agent is slowly walking over to him, and he’s doomed. But not so fast, Trinity is here to save the day. But before I get into that, what the FUCK was this Agent thinking? No wonder he’s not the crew chief, he can’t even run the deep fryer.The Agent makes a few crucial mistakes here.
#1, He forgets about Trinity. He just slowly walks over the Neo and doesn’t even bother shooting her in the face first.
Did he not have enough RAM to focus on both? #2, Why the hell does he do the over used movie cliche of talking instead of shooting? These guys are MACHINES, they are ROBOTS. Slowly walking towards your target and saying some famous “last words” is a human like quality.
Why wouldn’t he just point the gun right in between both of their eyes and end it there? It’s nonsensical.Well, after all of that poppycock, he walks up to Neo, points the gun and says “Only human.” Just as he is going to pull the trigger, Trinity puts her gun up to his head and says “Dodge this!”. Dodge This?Seriously? She has time to say DODGE THIS?!
TWO SECONDS pass by from the time she places her gun on his head and eventually pulls the trigger. Something isn’t right here. Remember, this is the same guy that 30 seconds prior was able to avoid 20 projectiles shot within 8 seconds at 750 mph. Was his CPU fried? Blue screen of death? Still running Windows 95?
Two seconds should be plenty of time for him to take the gun from her, shoot her titties off then cap Neo in the balls.But alas, he locks up, and and ka-pow. Dude, this analysis is spot on. Revolutions was on TV today and I don’t know why I subjected myself to it. There are many more reasons why The Matrix sucks, and I hope you find them all.
How about when Trinity discovers Neo has been blinded (he has smoking craters where his eyes used to be) and he says “I’m alright but I think you’re gonna have to drive.” WHAT? WHATITTY WHAT THE FUCK!? It’s such a circus of tragedyAnyway it’s healing to be able to laugh (and cry?) about it, so thanks!-Joan. One big reason why your site sucks, you failed to make a point on a failure, first of all, will start from the all Matrixit, the analmatrix, this movie should have ended when the Humans decide to nuke the machines, apart from all the primary effects of nuclear explosions, heat, radiation, and the shock wave (any of those alone would be enough to destroy the machines) they forgot about EMP (which the machines are quite vulnerable to as seen in the movies), there wouldn’t be much of a war or a movie.
My other big point, is the law of conservation of energy, machines my dodge bullets but they can’t dodge the laws of physics, even with the most energy efficient system, and 0 loss of energy, the machines would be getting 0 energy, the system of towers could only support itself and not much else, since dead humans are used to feed living ones (even with cows). And what is wrong with the energy infrastructure left by the defeated Humans after the war? I’m watching the Matrix on TV and for shits and giggles was looking for sites discussing it. I find this article funny in the fact that it goes in depth on why the movie sucks because the agent didn’t dodge the final bullet or walked slowly (which is fine I agree) but not into the bigger fact that throughout the series agents CAN’T DODGE PUNCHES. Trinity, Morpheus and Neo have always been able to punch agents around before they could dodge them.
Once you can dodge bullets every fight against a human should be a one hit kill with the human never touching you.I will note they are not robots or machines in the way we conceive them today. The point of the Matrix was that they were Artificial Intelligences which means they could fall victim to the emotional mistakes of gloating, overconfidence and monologuing like any other sentient being.@RaptorHunter I’ve never seen the analmatrix, sounds like it may have been shitty tho, or at least a movie near the bottom.
This is a film. Super star wars return of the jedi sprites. Perhaps one of 20 or 30 films that I have seen in my life that are nearly perfect from beginning to end. I saw it on the big screen the week that it opened in Marina del Rey, California in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. The theater was completely packed. I had to sit in the front row. At the end of the movie I was clinching the armrests and tears were streaming from my eyes. I wasn’t crying.
It was a f. roller coaster orgasmic delight of fantasy and story telling and science fiction.
Truly the Warchowski brothers, or brother and sister now, are geniuses. Revolutions and Reloaded weren’t 1/10 the movie that the original Matrix was. You know what sucks? Lord of the Rings. F. Harry Potter.
All these other f. superhero movies made from comic books.
Superman, Batman, Iron Man, they all are so tedious and boring and not believable. To be able to suspend disbelief for the first Matrix movie, it was magic. An opus of filmmaking. Narrator, this is Bob Dylan to me. The Matrix changed my life. Favorite pet theory: the “electrical power” comment is deliberate misinformation spread by the machines. When the exposition happens, we get told that it is “along with a form of fusion” — that’s the real energy source.
Humans are about as efficient as anything else at turning things into heat, but A) they’re not.more. efficient, and B) heat is pretty much the worst form of energy to try to extract work from, due to the thermodynamics.But if it is a misdirection, then what are we not supposed to realize? What are humans actually.good. at?Brains.They’re being farmed as a giant, ridiculously interconnected neural network. As space heaters, humans would not need more than a brainstem to function, and certainly would not need an entire virtual reality. But if you need those brains to be.active., then you have to both stimulate them and keep them from realizing what is going on. Otherwise you would get the effect the Agent described as “trying to ‘wake up'”.Why does this matter?
The Matrix Dodge This
Because it implies that the virtual reality is almost certainly running on that exact same “platform”; it would be the simplest approach, and one that would normally be self-reinforcing and extremely resilient against damage or loss of even large populations. But that means that how those brains perceive the world can directly.affect. that world.To put it a bit more simply: “genre conventions actually work — precisely.because. they are genre conventions”. Trinity’s speech takes no time at all (notice that the Agent never moves until the camera shot shifts), because in that reality it really.does. take no time at all.
The Matrix Reloaded Trinity Shooting
More to the point, because everyone actually aware of that little bit of reality shares the same set of subconscious assumptions and they.stay. subconscious. Only Neo (eventually) gets to the point that he can convince his own conscious brain to apply the same trick.
