Awesome must read Matrix article!

Must read
Maybe some of it is rong, but most of it makes too much sense. You cant really say there was no plot after reading this anyways....

The funniest thing I found was this quote:

The fact that The One comes from the machine world is a brilliant way to write around the fact that Keanu Reeves can't act.

It might just be me, but he seems to be using some different sets of allegorical constructs to explain his ideas. An interesting read, though, nonetheless. One thing I agree with is that the machines are keeping humans alive for a reason that has yet to be revealed.

whoa....thats deep

As the Architect reveals, Neo is not the first One, but rather the sixth. Why the sixth? The answer is that Neo's five previous incarnations represent the Five Books of Moses that make up the Old Testament. Neo (representing Christ, and thus the New Testament) differs from his five predecessors in his capacity to love.

apart from the fact I have no problem with reeves' acting abilities, I *DID* sometimes during the fighting scenes said to myself "yeah yeah, bring on more of the interesting bibalical reference stuff!".

That article is right about the fact most reviewers didn't get the point of the story.

"I saw the movie sitting next to a really cute girl." <- hah!

I saw the movie sitting next to a really cute girl.

Only thing I got out of the article.

But interesting idea either way.........

He could have said

*Neo is the 6th because that is the maximum number of points obtainable by a di so therefore is better then the other 5. The other 5 represent the privous Neo's. 6th is better as you can gamble more with it (as you can tell I know NOTHING about gambling lol)"

This ripped from another forum, but funny none the less.

I thought the Matrix was great. But number 4 on this list had me laughing till I had tears in my eyes. I cannot argue with what is said. It is so true.

I had never seen it untill this movie and I hope to god I never see it again.

Not only do they show you his pasty white ass, they do it in the most contemptible way possible: right after a titty scene. They try to trick you into popping a boner, then WHAM. Keanu's corn hole.

LMAO

bump for a cool article (the first one 😉)

Man some people have WAY to much time on their hands to delve ito their religious short sightedness.
If you guys want religion that bad..go to church, not a movie theater.

Might I say again: IT"S A MOVIE!

 

[SaigonK]

Now thats what I am talking about baby!



"Even if you disagree with everything bad I've said about this movie, there's one point I think everyone can agree on: Keanu Reeve's ass does not need to be seen, ever. Not only do they show you his pasty white ass, they do it in the most contemptible way possible: right after a titty scene. They try to trick you into popping a boner, then WHAM. Keanu's corn hole. There's an acceptable degree to how many times his ass can be shown in a movie, and that degree is either 0, or negative (negative means that Keanu Reeves' ass gets cut off, which would rule). On a side note, in case you get in an argument with a Matrix nerd cult member, the "Keanu's ass" argument always wins. It's like playing rock, paper, scissors and sucker punch to the throat. The sucker punch always wins. Don't believe me? Try it: next time a Matrix nerd starts rambling on about "Christological symbolism" and other geeky sh*t that nobody cares about, just say the magic words. I guarantee you'll either win the argument, or give the impression that you're an acute homophobe. Either way you win.. sort of. "
