Five million cows were slaughtered to make the wardrobe for this movie Describe The Matrix here. We can't tell you what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. ...or, you know, you could read the article. That works too. A trilogy of sci-fi action movies starring Keanu Reeves as the hero, Laurence Fishburne as his mentor, Carrie-Anne Moss as his Action Girl Love Interest, and Hugo Weaving as a recurring villain. The first film introduced the radical visual effect of Bullet Time, and is easily one of the most influential and oft-copied sci-fi films since Star Wars. The first film - The Matrix - begins in what appears to be the Present Day (more specifically, at the turn of the millennium), but the audience discovers along with the protagonist, Neo, that it's an illusion created by sentient machines that have Turned Against Their Masters and taken over the world. The Matrix itself is a virtual world that humans are plugged into so that the machines can use their bio-electricity as power while keeping the humans complacent. It was meant to be a giant neural computer network, but Executive Meddling intervened. Neo is led to Morpheus, who teaches him the truth and recruits him to join the resistance movement against the machines. Because they now know that The Matrix is a false reality, they are no longer bound by inconvenient rules such as gravity while inside the Matrix. Their only opposing force are the Agents (programs who are able to bend the rules of the Matrix themselves), whose leader is Agent Smith. Neo finds his place as a foretold hero, and sets out to free mankind from The Matrix and win back the world. The second film - The Matrix Reloaded - delves into the history of the Matrix itself. The war between machines and mankind in the real world is heating up and the heroes are searching for a series of wayward programs that can lead them to the machine source and stop them forever. As Neo learns the true history of the Matrix, he starts to doubt himself and their current plan. It is made all the more complicated when Agent Smith returns as an anomaly working on his own terms and with new, very much virus-like, abilities. The third film - The Matrix Revolutions - follows up directly from the previous film and depicts everything going to hell as the machines reach Zion (the humans' stronghold in the real world). Meanwhile, Neo sets in motion a plan to confront Agent Smith and end the war altogether. The first movie was quite popular, and has proven to be one of those works of fiction that heavily influences nearly everything in its wake (the influx of superhero movies, for one thing, but also of symbolism-heavy Mind Screws like Lost). Your Mileage May Vary, but the second and third films are generally considered victims of Sequelitis. That said, in hindsight, the trilogy holds together much better as a whole when watched in one go; originally a four-year gap (!?!) existed between the first and second films. Spin-offs, many of which contain plot explanations not included in the movies include: Video games - Enter The Matrix, The Matrix: Path of Neo, and the (Now sadly closed) MMORPG The Matrix Online A graphic novel anthology of short stories The Animatrix, an anthology of nine short animated films from celebrated anime directors, including a two-parter (The Second Renaissance) that explains the backstory of the war between humans and machines that laid the foundation for the creation of the Matrix. The Animatrix is interesting in that it was much more well-received by critics than the sequel movies. It also sports a disclaimer that hilariously (and sadly) encapsulates why many tropers despise the existence of the Animation Age Ghetto. See the quotes. |

Mind Screw | |
| TheMatrix/int_101087a | comment |
Mind Screw: Many, but most memorably the ending of the second movie. Also, the manner in which characters jack into the Matrix is a symbolic mind screw: they stick a giant needle in their brain. Freud is laughing. |

Boring Invincible Hero: One of the common complaints about Reloaded and Revolutions. Ironic, considering how it all ends. Or given that the final fight turns into some Neo wins either way (either he beats Smith or is copied over and destroys him from within), the BIH-ification still stands. |

Impossibly Cool Clothes: Apparently, one's Residual Self-Image includes cool hair and an awesome outfit. No exceptions. Even the nerdy Mouse is pretty pimp inside. Going by The Matrix Online, where the character-creation was your redpill selecting what their in-Matrix appearance would be, apparently that's just how they like it. You could look boring and normal... but then you'd never get any screen time. |

Epileptic Trees | |
| TheMatrix/int_209a7188 | comment |
Not necessarily. Brace for some Epileptic Trees, or perhaps Fridge Brilliance, but the Oracle actually cared about humanity. Tired of the cycle of savior, salvation, and rebirth, she did something about it. She changed Neo and provided a common enemy to the machines and humans: Smith. How did she achieve this? She wrote a program within, what else, a cookie and gave it to Neo. Neo delivered this cookie's programming into Agent Smith when he dove inside Smith and in a sense, overwrote him. Or it was an Ass Pull. | |

Self Fulfilling Prophecy | |
| TheMatrix/int_28fa194a | comment |
Self Fulfilling Prophecies: Sort of; The Oracle manipulates events by making prophecies, but the events that result from the prophecy are different from what the prophecy says. The reason it works out like this is that the Oracle does not say what will happen. She tells people what they need to hear in order for things to happen as she sees them. Which immediately gives her Magnificent Bastard status (particularly considering how things turned out). |

The Chessmaster: The Architect, who not only created The Matrix, but has manipulated five generations of "The One" into doing what he wants (letting Zion be killed off and then repopulating it). That's not including the Oracle, the matronly counterpart to the Architect. The entire plot has been...at the very least, heavily influenced by her desire to unbalance the Architect's Plan). |

No Sell | |
| TheMatrix/int_2df5d65b | comment |
No Sell: Neo grows so strong by the end of the first movie that when he fights three enhanced agents alone in the second film, he casually quips "Huh, upgrades" when one of them blocks an attack. In the subway fight in the first movie Neo managed to execute a specific trick, which resulted in him hitting Agent Smith right in the neck. But when he attempts the same on Agent Johnson, he performs a block, indicating that this particular flaw has been fixed. |

Take That | |
| TheMatrix/int_3b72de76 | comment |
Take That: Easy to miss. Cypher wants to be an actor who remembers nothing. His real name? Mr. Reagan. If so, it could have a cruel joke: in 1994, Ronald Reagan disclosed he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Or it was a reference to Reagan's repeated assertions that he couldn't remember critical details of the Iran-Contra scandal. This video from Path of Neo is arguably a Take That from the Wachowskis towards people who hated the sequels. Another Path of Neo example, one level takes place in the U.S. Senate within the Matrix, where one senator starts decrying violent video games as "offensive to our most basic values". About ten seconds later, he's turned into a Smith clone. Doubles as a rather satisfying Shut Up Hannibal. Would've been so satisfying if Jack Thompson is in the place of that one Senator. |

High Octane Nightmare Fuel | |
| TheMatrix/int_3babb9b3 | comment |
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Human harvest! In the Animatrix short The Second Renaissance, an android woman is beaten to death by a crowd of men. They tear off her clothes and beat the fake human skin off of her while her screams turn into a mechanical bleating. In the same short, the depiction of the forced extraction of a certain trooper from his powered armor. To give you some idea, he's torn from the armor by a machine tentacle wrapped around his waist. His arms and legs, however, remain locked in the armor. And he's screaming in pain and terror the whole time. The scene in which a robot grabs a woman's face and TEARS HER SKULL IN HALF TO REVEAL HER BRAIN. The brain then turns into some sort of diagram for the next scene. Generally speaking, Second Renaissance was full of Nightmare Fuel. The interrogation scene. That is all. Neo * himself* thought it was a nightmare. When Trinity sucks out the "bug," his reaction is "Holy shit! That thing was real?!?" Giant flying baby face made of bugs. Egads. |

God Mode Sue: Neo in the sequels. Most of the drama comes from him not being around to save the day. Eventually becomes Blessed With Suck when he realizes what the real purpose of the "One" was. His destiny is to perpetuate the thing he wants to destroy. That may be the definition of meta-suckage. |

Justified. How far into the future is the Matrix set in again? Let us not forget that internal combustion engines could barely push automobiles 20mph 100 years ago, at present day they can go in excess of 200mph and are tenfold more fuel efficient then their predecessors. The same applies to the capacity of batteries. Who is to say how improved the technology is by the time of the Matrix? | |

Product Placement: More obvious in the sequels, along with complementary commercials (who knew Agents could get distracted by HD TV?). You may have noticed that the phones look radically different in the sequels from the first film. They were provided by Samsung as part of an advertising scheme to sell the same phones to the public. |

Seinfeld Is Unfunny | |
| TheMatrix/int_5477cb11 | comment |
Seinfeld Is Unfunny: By the time Reloaded came out, the effects of the original were extremely dated. In hindsight, the effects sequence that has aged the least well from all three films is the second half of the "Burly Brawl" in Reloaded. It's one of the only times where they used Motion Capture, and the animation now looks terrible. I say that the effects in the original, for how revolutionary they were, have aged quite nicely. In theaters, it likely looked okay. On DVD (and now especially Blu-Ray), it's much more noticeable. |

Misaimed Fandom | |
| TheMatrix/int_55f0da04 | comment |
Misaimed Fandom: In July 2002, a woman by the name of Tonda Lynn Ansley shot her landlady in the face. She proceeded to go for the Insanity Plea by claiming that she believed she was in a computer simulation, saying: "They commit a lot of crimes in The Matrix." The really weird part? This actually worked. A year later, a San Fransisco man named Vadim Mieseges used the same defense, for the same crime, even. This has led to "The Matrix Defense" being adopted as a real legal strategy. This previously came up during The Columbine shooting, when some journalists speculated that Harris and Klebold might have been inspired by a certain amount of misaimed Matrix fandom. The sad part is that believing that your reality is not real and consequently killing or harming someone as a result of your delusions is a common mental illness. That's right, folks, the Matrix just took every paranoid schizophrenic's nightmare and turned it into a viable idea. |

Freud Was Right: Seriously, watch this movie with an eye toward sexual imagery and you'll find it EVERYWHERE, and in the most awful ways. The most graphic stuff is found in the first film, but it's still very much there in the last two. Makes you wonder just what was on the Wachowskis' minds the whole time they were writing this. | |

Something Only They Would Say: Smith-Bane reveals himself to Neo by calling him "Mr. Anderson". However, despite Smith-Bane does this three times rapidly in a row, Neo still fails to recognize him, and only does so after Smith-Bane burns his eyes out. Possibly an example of Your Eyes Can Deceive You as its only after having the blast shield put down that he sees who he's truly talking to. |

Slow Electricity | |
| TheMatrix/int_69e6a508 | comment |
Slow Electricity Reloaded: After the power station is destroyed (and later when Trinity turns off the power again), the blackout spreads slowly through the affected area. Revolutions: Inside the Oracle's apartment building, the overhead lights go off (with clunking sounds) as a warning of Agent Smith's approach. Could be argued that one of the clones is throwing the breakers, one by one, or something along those lines. |

The original idea was that all of the human's brains formed a neural network that the machines operated on, but executives thought that audiences wouldn't get it. Joss Whedon would go on to use the exact same idea on Dollhouse. Which still makes little or no sense... but at least it wouldn't defy the laws of thermodynamics. | |

| TheMatrix/int_7303a5f6 | comment |
Cluster F Bomb: Averted. The original script had characters spewing much more direct exposition and way, way more swearing. Admittedly, some of it would have been better ("Dodge this, motherfucker."), but this may be one of the few acceptable Bowdlerizations in modern history. The constant use of "shit" as a replacement of "fuck" makes it seem somewhat odd at times though. "What the shit!? That guy stole my phone!" The phrase "what the shit" has since entered the youth vernacular as a common, often comical alternative. This makes Joker's mad hobble-dash through the Normandy even more awesome. |

Bad Blue Lighting | |
| TheMatrix/int_7de55d83 | comment |
Bad Blue Lighting: The real world. The Matrix has Bad Green Lighting. The first film originally didn't heavily feature the green "tint" during scenes that took place inside the Matrix; the remastered version of the film fixes that so that all three films share a similar look. This was also intentional (the green and blue tint) and used as part of the symbolism of the films. |

It was a movie based on (if by based on you mean "took, dumbed down and added guns to") a sort of mish-mash of Plato's parable of the cave and Cartesian dualism, the former of which is...uh...an explanation by way of analogy. Which makes the whole "adults can't deal with the idea of the world being an illusion" schtick even more implausible, unless of course no-one in the Matrix universe has ever heard of the veil of perception. | |

| TheMatrix/int_8e9176d0 | comment |
The Only Way They Will Learn: "No one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." More like "The only way you'll believe it." Millions of moviegoers in our world had no trouble with the concept. It was a movie, so we were seeing it for ourselves. It was a movie based on (if by based on you mean "took, dumbed down and added guns to") a sort of mish-mash of Plato's parable of the cave and Cartesian dualism, the former of which is...uh...an explanation by way of analogy. Which makes the whole "adults can't deal with the idea of the world being an illusion" schtick even more implausible, unless of course no-one in the Matrix universe has ever heard of the veil of perception. It's a very different matter in practice. |

Now What | |
| TheMatrix/int_92b9d612 | comment |
Now What: By the middle of Reloaded, it's clear the authors have painted themselves into something of a corner. Again, Your Milage May Vary. There are some people who think the trilogy is reasonably well planned and thought out, some think that the script is a gold-embossed version of the dead sea scrolls, and some think that after the first movie the Wachowskis all got very high and fucked over the entire franchise. People have written essays about how good or badly written the trilogy is. Essays? Quick search on Amazon shows at least seven non-fiction books with analysis of the Trilogy. |

Redshirt Army: Pretty much anyone in our world (especially law enforcement, TSA guards and their like) is subject to being killed by people from The Real World. With zero moral repercussions. But it's not like it doesn't look totally awesome when it happens. In the first film, just about the entire crew of the Nebuchadnezzar besides Neo and a few others. Whoops. Granted, they might be considered more a Mauve Shirt Army |

| TheMatrix/int_9ee6167f | comment |
You Fail Biology Forever: How exactly one can extract more energy from a human body than needed to feed it and keep it alive remains a mystery. Apparently at first humans were going to be used as processing power... which would make more sense in context, but not so much in real life. One comic/story by Neil Gaiman (approved by the Wachowskis) goes with this theory, making it possibly-canon. |

Author Appeal: One of the Wachowskis employed a full-time dominatrix. Suddenly Trinity's costumes make far more sense. Given the fact that Larry Wachowski is now Lana Wachowski, which appear to have been confirmed as of December 2009 by photos posted by Arianna Huffington, Switch's name and the early draft in which she was male in the real world and female in the Matrix makes much more sense. |
