The brothers behind it also did a movie called Jupiter Ascending. It got worse reviews but it’s a movie that describes Earth being assailed by aliens who are farming humans for essentially adrenochrome. Using humans to create some sort of Serum that prevents aging. Also they have genetic mutant half man half wolf trans-humans and shit.
Kinda makes me wonder how much inside information they have.
It’s the same plot that’s been written about since Plato’s The Republic. All the way to Aldous Huxley and beyond.
So with the fact that they’ve done The Matrix Trilogy, and they did Jupiter Ascending about the adrenochrome and gene splicing I would say they are definitely privy to the wrong crowd.
Just remember, like Aldous Huxley, or Plato even, some of these works of fiction are not George Orwell warning people, these Huxlian Platonic types are cheering on these new world. Some of these people want this future. The Wackoski brothers are pro-transhumanism obviously.
So just remember sometimes what you think is an awesome critique of the world is sometimes unironically cheering on the dystopian future.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t or shouldn’t learn something from it.
a great insight - its easy to be enthralled by the 'world building' if these authors and others like them but make sure theyre not using it to sell you a bad lesson or morality
i think its important to pinpoint the time when that happened. i originally took it confirmation that we are living in the matrix an it wa their punishment for revealing it like they did. but no. it now seems more likely that after V the deep state did that to them. a computer wouldnt do that
all you need is the first one for educational purposes.
I decided my eight year old was ready for it, for one scene alone.
"If you are not one of us, you are one of them."
Woman in the red dress scene.
It laid the groundwork for his understanding that not every normie is ready to be awakened. And we need to be careful who we talk to because certain things can turn the normies into Agent Smiths.
Second and third are not worth it unless you are a programmer.
On a side note - the wachowski brothers are now sisters and fucking looney tunes.
Whatever you do - don’t watch Jupiter ascending unless you wanna see two faggot directors clammering over Channing Tatum painted blue w glitter as a fairy
The 2nd and third were severely delayed if I recall correctly due to one of the stars dying "in a plane crash." Aliyah, who was married to R Kelly for a bit at age 15 or some shit before they annulled it. Strange happenings but Matrix in real life like. They did use way too much CGI in those films however. The Wachowski bros are now the Wachowski sisters.
That fight scene with the millions of Agent Smiths, my buddy and I just cracked up halfway thru. The music cue tried to up the tension but it just came off as comedy
You might add "They Live" and "The Island" to the watch list if you havent seen. I was not a SciFi fan until a few years ago - guess I had to wait until I believed that it may already be happening to be into it.
Also check out Jupiter Ascending, it’s by the same brothers as the matrix trilogy. It has aliens, genetic human/animal transhumans, adrenochrome, and Mila Kunis.
Best odds are with an independent studio. Hollywood is a strange beast. I feel like some movies don't get made unless they include lowest denominator crap. "In Time" is another one like that. There are so many. Maybe studios just buy/steal the premise and give it to their puppet directors to finish it off.
Thanks for the suggestion. I feel like it had just enough hope to make you keep watching, only to delicately disappoint. Much less hollywood and feels truer to the premise.
Lol yes! The fight scene when I saw it, I was like, damn this is the longest fight scene ever! He just wants him to put on the damn glasses. Such a good metaphor for how we fight so hard to get normies to open their eyes and wake up, but they fight us back, REFUSING to just put on the damn glasses, to even look. They’d rather eat the trash can.
So? I'm talking about his writing not his political beliefs. If you think they're one and the same, you're a goon. I'm not going to abandon all art because I disagree with the people who made it, lol, what a retarded concept. Why so mad, bro? You don't actually watch Rick and Morty do you?
I'd think it was a very good "required watch" for all who have studied and followed along with the Q team, along with White Squall, Godfather III, and probably others I forget for the moment
I guess you could make the case that the red-pill vs blue-pill is a great scene that drives a point home. The premise of the movie doesn't make any sense. That the computer AI is growing all these humans in pods and providing a virtual world for them because they want the human bodies to generate energy. That makes no sense at all. There are tons of ways to generate electricity, and sapping them from humans in pods is about the least efficient system imaginable.
The movie is both very cool and very silly at the same time.
Agree, but I thought humans had to be used because the sky went dark due to a global fallout, similar to the asteroid that wiped out the asteroids. No sunlight, plants died, etc. But feeding the pods still allowed humans to survive and produce energy?
I was too, and I still can vividly remember the epiphany I had when we saw for the first time, through Neo's eyes, The Matrix. It was a very strange feeling.
Definitely watch. It will help you understand the whole "red pill" thing. I love all three movies. Although I understand what others are saying. As with all trilogies or sequels there's nothing like the first one.
Funny story... took the family to see it on the theater. About 20 minutes into the movie the man sitting behind us had a heart attack. EMT came and took him away and then they started the movie again. It was a night I'll never forget
It's hilarious how such a self-aware and quite revolutionary movie was made by 2 brothers who then decided they were 2 sisters. I really wonder what the heck happened to them to make them shift so drastically.
WAY, WAY past my trippin days. And, believe me, there was alot of them. I'll just wait for my new THX surround sound to get hete next week and smoke a joint. ?
It’s a pretty good analogy to what it feels like is going on today. Mostly in the fact that reality isn’t what it seems. Some run too far with the plot of the matrix and take where it isn’t meant to go.
you are lucky to see the iconic trilogy just before sequel, people are waiting for 18 years, you will wait for a couple of months
still funny, you are almost 50, like Reeves, and didn't saw work of his life
Whilst "The Matrix" is a damn good movie and worth watching anyway... "They Live" is a much better metaphor for the movie that's currently playing out.
If you watch it knowing what you know now it may feel like a documentary almost kek.
The brothers behind it also did a movie called Jupiter Ascending. It got worse reviews but it’s a movie that describes Earth being assailed by aliens who are farming humans for essentially adrenochrome. Using humans to create some sort of Serum that prevents aging.

It’s the same plot that’s been written about since Plato’s The Republic. All the way to Aldous Huxley and beyond.
REEEE they're not brothers anymore REEEEE. Kinda sucks they both cucked out and are now pretending to be women
So with the fact that they’ve done The Matrix Trilogy, and they did Jupiter Ascending about the adrenochrome and gene splicing I would say they are definitely privy to the wrong crowd.

Right. I think Orwell was warning, Huxley was cheering.
On the inside in a bad way or good way?
a great insight - its easy to be enthralled by the 'world building' if these authors and others like them but make sure theyre not using it to sell you a bad lesson or morality
I believe they were also involved in V for Vendetta. Then they had to cut their dicks off.
i think its important to pinpoint the time when that happened. i originally took it confirmation that we are living in the matrix an it wa their punishment for revealing it like they did. but no. it now seems more likely that after V the deep state did that to them. a computer wouldnt do that
just thought of tbis also - V was a secretive messenger and bringer of truth... just like Q!
@FreedomKeks- haha no kidding isn’t that the truth! I think I need to rewatch that again!!
^^^^ THIS.

I like this ☝?
That's gonna be one based kid.
100% agreed ?

Absolutely surprised the hell out of me when i found out. What a shame. More to boycott. The list is so very long.
That fight scene with the millions of Agent Smiths, my buddy and I just cracked up halfway thru. The music cue tried to up the tension but it just came off as comedy
I watched it the other month, the red pill blue pill scene I swear was written by white hats
Yep
You might add "They Live" and "The Island" to the watch list if you havent seen. I was not a SciFi fan until a few years ago - guess I had to wait until I believed that it may already be happening to be into it.
Don't forget Logans Run.
Just watched Dark City. Fabulous flick.
I still have the paperback along with Dune and some other good sci fi. Need to revisit!
Villaneuve-directed Dune was supposed to drop Dec 2020, will be this year.
Hope it dodges the curse.
Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5AYeMwSTE
Tx for this☝?
Since you mentioned Dune... any chance you've seen this documentary? Incredible shit: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935156/
The dude literally inspired almost all major sci fi from a conceptual book to outline the movie he was supposed to make.
No and thank you for the recommendation! Looking forward to watching.
Yes
Also check out Jupiter Ascending, it’s by the same brothers as the matrix trilogy. It has aliens, genetic human/animal transhumans, adrenochrome, and Mila Kunis.
Dang I dugg her, until...
Only the first half of The Island is worth watching. Once they break out, it turns into a very bad hollywood chase movie.
There's lots of movies like this. Sucks that filmmakers have to compromise a good premise like this.
you are probably right - it has been a while but the premise was great. Maybe someone will remake it with a better ending
Best odds are with an independent studio. Hollywood is a strange beast. I feel like some movies don't get made unless they include lowest denominator crap. "In Time" is another one like that. There are so many. Maybe studios just buy/steal the premise and give it to their puppet directors to finish it off.
Maybe "Never Let Me Go" is probably a bit closer to what you want? Same premise and much less hopeful.
People forget that, at the end of 1984 (the movie), the Party breaks the main character and this is supposed to be seen as a "good" ending.
Thanks for the suggestion. I feel like it had just enough hope to make you keep watching, only to delicately disappoint. Much less hollywood and feels truer to the premise.
Thanks I will check it out
Doooooo it!
Yes! And... "They Live"
Yes, but I'd watch They Live first if you havent' seen it. Classic IMO and the fight scene is one of the best in movies.
RIP Rowdy.
Lol yes! The fight scene when I saw it, I was like, damn this is the longest fight scene ever! He just wants him to put on the damn glasses. Such a good metaphor for how we fight so hard to get normies to open their eyes and wake up, but they fight us back, REFUSING to just put on the damn glasses, to even look. They’d rather eat the trash can.
Don't know if it's required, but I watched it a few months ago for the first time since it came out and I was like 'woah.'
And then you say "Duuuuuuuuude..." (because Keanu)
Watch "enemy of the state" too
Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You'll have to see it for yourself.
Best ad campaign for a movie, ever. Maybe only Blair Witch Project has it beat.
Blair Witch definitely had it beat, as far as PR goes. Lol.
My roommate at the time was convinced it was real before it came out... Convinced! And he wasn't a dummy, I swear. ?
1A, 1B. Blair Witch was more deceptive but they were equally mysterious.
yeah watch it you will be properly mind fucked by it the first time
It's such a good analogy!!
I think The Matrix is a good movie.
I do not think it is 'required watching'.
Firefly/Serenity Zeitgeist The fountain The Matrix Surrogates
Those 5 are my top 5.
FIrefly/serenity is so good. Love Joss' work. Knowing what I know now, he has many story lines telling us about the Cabal.
Buffy has a college fraternity that makes sacrifices to a demon for power and wealth.
Angel has a demonic council that runs the world through a law firm and spells of illusion.
Serenity has the government putting chemicals into public consumption that turns them into monsters or kills them.
I'm sure there are plenty more examples.
Joss is just another liberal blow hard. He 'rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeesssss' with the best of them.
/u/#peperee
Fuck off, Whedon is one of the best writers ever. What do you watch? Rick and Morty?
So? I'm talking about his writing not his political beliefs. If you think they're one and the same, you're a goon. I'm not going to abandon all art because I disagree with the people who made it, lol, what a retarded concept. Why so mad, bro? You don't actually watch Rick and Morty do you?
I vote for every movie based on a Philip K. Dick story.
-Blade Runner -Minority Report -Paycheck -The Adjustment Bureau -Total Recall -A Scanner Darkly
Less dystopian future stuff, more "what makes us human" stuff. Free will is a central theme in much of his work.
Boondock Saints has to be on that list.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0144117/
Don't bother with the second one though, it's just terrible.
Lol I think I’m the only person in the world who loved the second one. But the first one is best!
Dafoe bugs me in general but this looks worthy...
The first rule of this book/film is,
I'd think it was a very good "required watch" for all who have studied and followed along with the Q team, along with White Squall, Godfather III, and probably others I forget for the moment

Not kidding, Based co-worker and I reference it every single day.
It will break your brain. Definitely watch.
Has always been a favorite of mine. I recommended it to everyone; even before this awakening.
Fantastic Planet for a movie to be stoned while watching for the first time. Tripping, actually. That was in 1976-ish. Have never been the same since.
I was too, and I still can vividly remember the epiphany I had when we saw for the first time, through Neo's eyes, The Matrix. It was a very strange feeling.
Only the 1st one
Definitely watch. It will help you understand the whole "red pill" thing. I love all three movies. Although I understand what others are saying.

About 20 minutes into the movie the man sitting behind us had a heart attack. EMT came and took him away and then they started the movie again. It was a night I'll never forget
TBH his wife was saying he was having a heart attack. Don't know if that was what was going on. He was alert when he left withe EMT's
It's hilarious how such a self-aware and quite revolutionary movie was made by 2 brothers who then decided they were 2 sisters. I really wonder what the heck happened to them to make them shift so drastically.
Satan.
Drop acid before you do.
WAY, WAY past my trippin days. And, believe me, there was alot of them. I'll just wait for my new THX surround sound to get hete next week and smoke a joint. ?
This is the way. Follow the white rabbit. ?
Me neither??
Yes. Learn about gnosticism, too. The demiurge, yaldoboath, archons, etc.
It's kinda a trip if it came out when you were young and watch it as an adult. It's two different movies.
It’s a pretty good analogy to what it feels like is going on today. Mostly in the fact that reality isn’t what it seems. Some run too far with the plot of the matrix and take where it isn’t meant to go.
First one is a good film. Didn't need the sequels.
That said, I'd probably sooner rewatch the original Star Wars trilogy than The Matrix.
you are lucky to see the iconic trilogy just before sequel, people are waiting for 18 years, you will wait for a couple of months
still funny, you are almost 50, like Reeves, and didn't saw work of his life
Wow you're the only person in this thread who referenced the new movie. I had no idea a 4th Matrix was on the way.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10838180/
1st movie only, it's a classic. I walked out of the second CGI heavy ridiculous shitfest. Fucken rave scene WTF!??
Watch, Ready Player One
Whilst "The Matrix" is a damn good movie and worth watching anyway... "They Live" is a much better metaphor for the movie that's currently playing out.
Really? I mean really? Yes...now.
Im so jealous you’re gonna see it for the first time.
It’s awesome ??
