My mind was running a million miles a minute at the end of this one! I loved it SO MUCH!!! I knew it was an action film, but had no idea it was so deep and had so many layers!! I really hope you enjoy the reaction!

Remember watching this in the theater, everyone lost their mind when Trinity jumped and the camera swung around her! We knew we were in for a wild ride!

Welcome back, Teegan! So nice to have you back behind the camera! I hope this means you’ve finally kicked whatever illness was keeping you down and out. Can’t wait to experience this movie for the first time EVER with you! It’s definitely been on my bucket list for a long time.

I watched this in theaters, and it blew my 13 year old mind. I saw this at the perfect time in my life. I was already a fan of iconic cyberpunk dystopian media like Blade Runner and Ghost In The Shell and even the classic horror point and click adventure I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, and we had just talked about Hilary Putnam's "Brain In A Vat" thought experiment in class. American action movies up till this point were always beefy muscular heroes like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Damme, etc. This movie showed that we could have a different kind of action movie star. Plus the soundtrack FUCKING RULED. This was 1999, I was going hard on the whole nu-metal/industrial thing that was happening. So many iconic bands/artists and tracks-- Deftones, Rage Against The Machine, Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Prodigy, Monster Magnet, Marilyn Manson... All the cool nerdy alternative kids in my 8th grade class had the CD. Never has a live action film soundtrack held so much social currency amongst kids since 1995's Mortal Kombat soundtrack, LMAO.

The Animatrix is cool! It's a series of animated shorts that expand on the lore and stories in the Matrix universe

I personally think you should watch all 3 films. They are all fun and mind bending.

I could have swore I owned this. Son of Bit… As a collector, I’m a little ashamed of myself. I loved the Matrix when it came out, like everyone else. It definitely was groundbreaking. But over the years, my enthusiasm has lessened for it. I guess that’s why I never wound up buying the Blu-ray. I know I’ve looked at buying it a bunch of times when buying movies, and was pretty sure I had. But Alas, I can’t find it anywhere. I used to have the DVD collection with Animatrix, but my brother took that. I’m gonna have to wait on this one. I will say though… if you loved The Matrix, there was another film that came out the same year that had similar themes and is also really, really good. Kinda prefer this one over The Matrix. I highly recommend it. The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

I’m glad you are feeling better Teegan

Great call on The Cave. For sure influenced the writing. And Agent Smith is Elrond. Thanks for the fun video!

Eric Wallace

So you like stargate, dance to old rage and rob zombie, and you're dad got excited about the Animatrix. You're cool, but it seems like your dad helped with that. I want to have a beer with y'all

Eric Wallace

Also, you didn't trust Cypher because he was "Leo" in Memento

Marshmallow Venom (실리콘 밸리)

Agent Smith is also Johann Schmidt / Red Skull. Great reaction, Teegan. I also appreciated the allegory of the cave, but I could have sworn you called the author "Pluto." Ah, well. Either I mis-heard or it was a simple vowel substitution.

eww you really did not have to tell us everything about being ill but honey and lemon will help your throat to heal now the film every time i watch the matrix i think of these words "The ring must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came". spoken by elrond and when i watch lord of the rings i think of these words mr anderson and "Never send a human to do a machine's job" spoken by agent smith the best thing to do with the matrix films is dont think about anything just enjoy the films and your brain wont crumble into dust you loved it the 2nd film is better than the 1st but not by much

Hi Lite, you are correct about this movie being groundbreaking. Visually, nobody had seen anything like this before and I remember seeing this in the theater an people were gasping at what they were seeing. The reference I hear a lot in movies and TV now is when someone wished they'd have made a different decision, they will say "I should've taken the blue pill" I love the shots from above looking down at the characters in the street with the rain falling. I think that is just stunning. When you watch it again, see if you can also pick up on the blue and red. When Neo is in his cubicle and gets the package, the delivery guy has one of those pens where you can chose to write in blue or red ink.

Welcome back Teagan! Glad you’re feeling better! Awesome reaction! Agent Smith is played by Hugo Weaving. Who you might also recognize as Elrond in LOTR Also, I know it’s easier said than done. But try not to put too much pressure on yourself to see everything and have all these profound comments during your reactions You’re very intelligent. And also very observant. Trust that. You don’t need to add extra pressure on yourself to catch everything, every time It’s Ok to turn off the analytical side of your brain and just sit back experience the film sometimes Even when you aren’t in full on analysis mode, you already pick up on a lot of things that many other reactors miss Anyways, glad you’re feeling better Looking forward to your upcoming reactions!

Lukas

Teegs, it's been a while. Glad you're feeling well. I hope it's ok if I call you Teegs. I have a friend named Teagan and that's what we all call her LOL. If you don't like Teegs, then I can call you TeaBag hahaha we called her that for a while as well, but now it's just Teegs. Can't wait to watch this. Thanks again

Dan M

Haha…love that reference. I’m going use it from now on whenever I make a bad decision (hopefully not too often). This was my first time seeing this movie, so I’m sure there are a ton of little details that I missed out on. The pen with the blue and red ink being one of them. I used to use those all the time in college. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that the next I watch this movie.

+1 for bringing up Plato's allegory of the cave, something I haven't thought about since high school Humanities class.

You really, REALLY should watch The Animatrix BEFORE watching The Matrix: Reloaded.

I was in film school studying visual effects at the same time these films were being released. We studied The Matrix (1999) in multiple classes, and my classmates and I were at the midnight screenings for the sequels. The bullet-time technique (slow motion effects combined with sweeping camera moves) was invented for this film by first-time visual effect supervisor John Gaeta. Slow motion effects were growing in popularity but slow motion cameras cannot move quickly so most shots were mounted still frames or slow dollys. Gaeta has the idea to line up a string of still image cameras to shoot in a rapid programmed sequence, mimicking the framerate of a slow-motion camera without the motion blur or frame stretching that would be captured by moving the camera at high speeds. That backbending bullet dodge scene is the most iconic example of the technique in action. Gaeta won an academy award for visual effects and a BAFTA for best achievement in special effects for his work in this film. He worked on the next two films in the series where he continued to innovate with new visual effects techniques which are still used today.

You will certainly be a Trinity fan after watching the 2nd part! Can't tell you about the 3rd part yet

sammy

Put ''meet Joe black'' in your poll one day after you are done with The awesome Matrix trilogy :)

MoulinNoir

you caught so much! reflections are a big theme, the green matrix filter vs blue reality filter, the emphasis on free choices, the full impact of the training about there not being real air and the spoon not actually existing, the way this movie changed the industry when it came out... you picked up on, like, all the important things! Loved your allegory of the cave take, thought the rest of your analysis was pretty spot on, another great reaction :) As far as living on in the matrix when the body gets unplugged, i'm pretty sure a normal person couldn't do it (because the matrix is actually just a shared dream and you are still housed in your physical brain) Like, the matrix is the internet for consciousness, and your brain is your computer or phone or whatever. If you moved your computer's entire operating system onto the cloud and then disconnected your computer from the internet, it would turn your computer into a brick. But Neo? Who is to say. Maybe Neo could use his control of the matrix to sort of create a second, digital brain to inhabit, he iiis The One, who knows lol

I love how Tegan knew from the start we couldn't trust cifer!

This was all done before CGI was good enough to go on film (no one had told George Lucas sadly). So most of what you see was caught in camera. The actors did most of their own fighting, having done months of martial arts and wire fighting training. The red pill/blue pill reflection in Morpheus’ glasses was done simply by positioning the actors so that the reflection was what you saw on film. No tricks. The “red pill” slang we use today is from this movie. The “Bullet Time” technique was invented for this movie. The Oracle gave Neo a cookie like she’s a website. So, so, so many little details.
