Caught with one's pants down!
Just as Sir was waiting day and night, The Matrix 4, someone! already! I've seen it!!!
Recently, a small test screening was held in Irving, California.
A netizen named David Manning shared his own movie-watching experience -
Boy!
This is said without leaks (as it was not said), and the good villains also tell us a little plot...
Under the "exhaustive pursuit" of netizens, he still did not say much.
Just added -
This movie is definitely "Cloud Atlas" level, not "Jupiter Up".
△ Both are the works of the Wachowski sisters, but the quality is very different
The new actor involved, Jessica Henwick, also revealed:
The Matrix 4 has a jaw-dropping moment, and Lana Wachowski has made a lot of new changes on the technical level. Of course, there's her personal style in it. She will change the industry again through this film. Some photographic equipment that I've never seen before.
Well, it's a thought-provoking statement.
In the new HBO Max trailer, "The Matrix 4" was tightly covered, with only one title, and the positive film screen did not even have hair.
What is known so far is only some behind-the-scenes information.
In the fourth part, the male and female protagonists Keanu Reeves and Kerry-Ann Moss have returned.
According to the photos taken at the scene, the male and female protagonists are basically judged to be two compared to 20 years ago.
The savior Neo showed his face this time with a disheveled image, and after seeing the photo, netizens ridiculed:
This is Neo, this is john Wick of "Fast And Furious".
Coincidentally, both series starred Keanu Reeves, both of whom were filmed to the fourth part, and both were filmed at about the same time.
The martial finger of "The Matrix 4" is no longer Yuan Heping, but is the director of the "Speed Series".
Many coincidences can't help but make netizens open their minds.

But.
Sadly, Morpheus' role as Lawrence Fishburne and Smith's role as Hugo Viven confirmed that they would not be in the sequel.
Even the director is missing one.
The Wachowski sisters, who had co-directed the first trilogy, returned only to their sister Lana Wachowski.
In a 2015 interview promoting Jupiter's Ascendant, sister Lily Wachowski said that making a sequel to The Matrix was "the most offensive idea today."
Keanu Reeves and Lana Wachowski
not......
After a round of tidbits, it is estimated that everyone, like Sir, does not know what will be filmed.
This feeling in the clouds and fog is also enough for the Matrix.
Over the years, iron fans have never stopped arguing about sequels .
It seems that the fourth part not only has to open a new chapter, but also has to fill in the unsolved pits of the old work.
Sir might as well be bold and make a forward-looking move.
Guess what The Matrix 4 will do.
Full resurrection
Based on the items that flowed out earlier.
The Matrix 4 is titled The Matrix Resurrections.
"Resurrection" refers to the resurrection of Jesus, and the subtitles of the second and third parts are "Reloaded" and "Revolutions", respectively.
△ Materials exploded by the hair stylist
Old fans know that "The Matrix" loves to play with religious metaphors.
The most obvious is the protagonist NEO, who is called Anderson in the matrix, and comes from son of Man, or "Son of Man", a synonym for Jesus in the Bible.
After the names are rearranged, NEO becomes ONE (Savior).
Interestingly, when killed for the first time by Agent Smith, 72 seconds later, as Jesus resurrected 3 days (72 hours), NEO woke up again,
This time, Resurrections is in the form of a plural.
It is likely that NEO was not the only one who was resurrected.
In the third "Matrix Revolution", NEO and the heroine Trinity are dead.
Trinity died of accidental injuries in the real world as she piloted a spaceship to evade attacks.
NEO, on the other hand, is trying to fulfill a peace deal with the robot and die with the arch-villain Smith.
According to the ending, the two are dead.
How to resurrect two people in the established rules without "eating the book" is the biggest mystery of the sequel.
Looking back at the first three films, the characters actually had a precedent of resurrection.
For example, Trinity.
She was supposed to have been shot and killed in the second film, Reloaded.
But NEO openly rewrote her code and resurrected her.
This kind of opening and hanging is also a kind of bug, and the so-called savior essence is a bug in the maternal system.
And this bug is likely to spawn more bugs.
Agent Smith, for example.
In the first part, he was actually killed (deleted) by NEO.
But the deletion was not complete, part of the NEO code was fused into him, and after Smith was "infected", he changed from an antivirus to a virus.
After Smith mutated, he possessed the ability to replicate infinitely and was out of control of the system.
In the second part, smith infects and copies NEO's companion, occupies the person's body, and comes to the real world.
NEO and Smith are two sides of the same coin.
If NEO's code in the matrix is not completely deleted, it is possible to be restored, and then used assimilation to return to the real world.
According to the setting, in the parent world, as long as the code is not completely deleted, there is a possibility of resurrection.
However, this is all limited to death in the maternal world, and this does not apply to Trinity.
She had died in the real world.
Physical death, on the other hand, cannot be revived in the World view of The Matrix, but can only restore Trinity's code in the maternal world.
How does The Matrix 4 explain this?
Crisis re-emerged
At the end of the third part, the little girl asks the Prophet if he can see NEO again.
The Prophet replied: Yes.
The possibility of NEO's resurrection has been laid here.
Don't forget, NEO was created by architects and prophets, and it's likely that the resurrection of NEO was also their plan.
If it is determined that NEO et al. can be resurrected.
The further question to ask is: Why resurrect them?
Possibility one.
Combined with the ending, NEO stands for humans and reaches a ceasefire agreement with the robot, and the savior's mission is completed.
Now that the Savior has been resurrected, that means that this balance may be upset.
Architects don't think that the peaceful coexistence between humans and robots won't last long.
But in the end, he kept his promise.
Let those who desire to be free from the motherhood and stop interfering with them.
But the freedom of these people has a series of consequences.
originally.
After humans obscured the sky and the solar power supply was blocked, the power supply of the entire robot world relied on human biological functions.
The original intention of the mother world is to "anesthetize" the dream-making machines created by humans.
If a large number of humans leave the mother body (more than 1% of the total number of human beings), it is likely to lead to the collapse of the mother body and insufficient power supply.
Then more people may wake up from control, and the contradiction between humans and robots will be rekindled.
possibility two.
A virus more powerful than Smith was born.
Smith was originally a member of the maternal system, and his job was to maintain the stability of the system.
But after becoming a bug, he began to get out of control of the system.
In the end, it even developed into an impact on the existence of the entire mother, causing the mother to have to resort to NEO to "disinfect".
In fact, there are many such potential threats that are out of maternal control.
Take, for example, the Frenchman in "Reloaded".
Like the Prophet, he was the earliest procedure of the matrix and could be done without the control of the matrix.
In order not to be deleted by the system update iteration, the French can escape the detection of the matrix and hide somewhere in the world.
Not only that.
The French can also program themselves.
His men, The Geminis and the Trainmen, were both French-drawn procedures.
These procedures, which are out of the control of the mother, may one day become another Smith.
Like the little girl in the third part, she was born in two programs because she copied NEO's "love code".
At the end, she shows her abilities —
The creature creates a colorful sunrise scene.
Can the mother really tolerate this kind of bug level that is seriously out of the established rules of the mother?
Could the Prophet really protect her all the time?
All kinds of foreshadowing have given NEO the opportunity to resurrect.
free will
Old fans love The Matrix not only because of its powerful story setting.
It is also the hard-core philosophical theme behind it.
What "Zhuang Zhou Mengdi", "brain in the vat" and "artificial intelligence" these topics, the movie all covered.
Adding a bit of philosophical reflection to commercial films is sometimes a way to decorate the façade and make things up.
But the Wachowski brothers (who were brothers at the time) came true.
Keanu Reeves was asked to read a bunch of postmodernist books before he took on the film.
From behind the scenes to behind the scenes, The Matrix is so philosophical that a bunch of philosophers have co-authored a book for the film.
△ Sanlian Publishing House also translated it into Chinese edition
Among the many philosophical propositions, Sir believes that the core is still free will.
Many old fans must have asked this question -
Do characters in The Matrix have free will?
According to the architects, the matrix system has been changed for several generations.
The world originally designed for humans is actually a perfect version.
But because it was too perfect, humans could not believe its authenticity, and died en masse.
The prophet found the trick.
Given the right to choose, 99% of human beings would be willing to live in the mother's womb.
The remaining 1% of humanity, like the protagonists, are trying to break away from the matrix.
To control the number of people, architects and prophets devised a program called the Savior.
See here, you get it?
The savior was originally designed to regulate the machine.
Each time, the number of awakened people exceeded the control.
Humanity will meet the Prophet, who will guide them in their search for a Savior and eventually implant a program.
The Savior iterates into new versions in his interactions with humans and various programs, and eventually helps the Matrix to upgrade again under the guidance of the Prophet.
The Matrix can be seen as a story of computer system maintenance and upgrades.
All decisions are merely pre-set.
Even the signs suggest that the truth that was originally outside the matrix may well be another imaginary matrix.
That's where the Matrix horrors come in.
"The Matrix 4", in the end, is it another cycle of system upgrades, or the fate of humans successfully breaking free from the dominance of machines.
This is a test for NEO, and it is also for the audience to ask again -
After 22 years, when the red and blue pills are in front of you.
You'll be like NEO back then.
Abandon the beautiful dream of the good day and choose the devastated reality?
