“The Matrix 4″：Have humans successfully escaped the fate of being dominated by machines?

Caught off guard! While looking forward to the day and night, “The Matrix 4”, someone! already! seen it already! ! !

Recently, a small trial screening was held in Irvine, California.

A netizen named David Manning shared his experience of watching movies-good guy!

This is true to the point (same as I didn’t say it), so let’s tell us a little plot…

After the netizens were chasing after him, he still didn’t say much.

Just to add-this movie is definitely “Cloud Atlas” level, not “Jupiter Ascending” .

Both are works by the Wachowski sisters, but the quality is very different.

New actor, Jessica Henwick also revealed: “The Matrix 4” has a staggering moment, Lana Wachowski has made many new changes on the technical level.

Of course, there is her personal style. She will change the industry again through this movie. Some photography equipment, I have never seen it before.

Well, it’s so imaginative.

In the trailer of HBO Max’s new movie, “The Matrix 4” is covered tightly, with only one title and nothing on the main screen.

What we know so far is only some behind-the-scenes information.

In the fourth part, both the hero and the hero Keanu Reeves and Kay Carrie-Anne Moss have returned.

According to the photos taken at the shooting scene, the male and female protagonists are basically different from 20 years ago.

“ONE” (Neo) showed the unkempt image this time. After seeing the photos, netizens ridiculed: This is not Neo, this is the John Wick of “John Wick” at all.

It just so happened that both series starring Keanu Reeves, both shot to the fourth part, and both shot at about the same time.

The martial arts director of “The Matrix 4” is no longer Woo Ping Yuen, but the director of the “Quick Series”.

Many coincidences can not help but make netizens brainstorm.

Netizens spoof pictures, John Wick vs NEO

Unfortunately, Laurence Fishburne, the actor of Morpheus, and Hugo Weaving, the actor of Smith, confirmed that they would not participate in this sequel.

Even the director is missing one. The Wachowski sisters, who co-directed the first trilogy, only returned with sister Lana Wachowski.

In an interview to promote “Jupiter Ascending” in 2015, my sister Lily Wachowski said that she had said that filming the sequel to “The Matrix” was “the most offensive idea today”.

After a round of tidbits, it is estimated that everyone has no idea what to shoot.

This kind of feeling in the clouds and mist is also enough “The Matrix”.

Over the years, iron fans have never stopped arguing (rumors) about the sequel.

It seems that the fourth book not only has to open a new chapter, but also has to fill in the unresolved holes in the old work.

May wish to boldly make a forward look. Guess what “The Matrix 4” will shoot.

Resurrection

According to the material flowed earlier.

The title of “The Matrix 4” is (The Matrix Resurrections).

“Resurrection” refers to the resurrection of Jesus. The subtitles of the second and third parts are “Reloaded” and “Revolutions”.

Old fans know that “The Matrix” loves to play with religious metaphors.

The most obvious one is that the protagonist NEO, whose name is Anderson in Matrix, comes from Son of Man, the “son of man”, the synonym for Jesus in the Bible.

After the name is rearranged, NEO will become “ONE”.

Interestingly, when he was killed by Agent Smith for the first time, 72 seconds later, as Jesus was resurrected 3 days (72 hours) later, NEO woke up again.

And this time, Resurrections are in the plural.

It is possible that more than NEO will be resurrected.

In the third “The Matrix Revolutions”, both NEO and the heroine Trinity are killed.

Trinity died of accidental injuries in the real world because he evaded attacks while driving the spacecraft.

NEO is to fulfill the peace agreement with the robot and die with the big villain Smith.

Judging by the ending, the two are dead.

How to resurrect the two under the established rules without “eating the book” is the biggest mystery of the sequel.

Looking back at the first three parts, the characters actually have a precedent for resurrection.

Such as Trinity. She was supposed to be shot and killed in the second “The Matrix Reloaded”.

But NEO rewrites her code openly and resurrects her. This kind of opening is also a kind of bug. The so-called “ONE” is essentially a bug in the Matrix system.

And this bug is likely to spawn more bugs.

For example, worker Smith. In the first part, he has actually been killed (deleted) by NEO.

However, the deletion was not complete. Part of NEO’s code was integrated into him. After being “infected”, Smith turned from anti-virus software into a virus.

After Smith mutated, he had the ability to replicate infinitely, and he was out of the control of the system.

In the second part, there is a segment in which Smith infects and replicates NEO’s companion, takes over this person’s body, and comes to the real world.

NEO and Smith are two sides of one.

If NEO’s code in Matrix is ​​not completely deleted, it may be restored and then assimilated and returned to the real world.

According to the setting, in the Matrix world, as long as the code is not completely deleted, there is a possibility of resurrection.

However, this is only limited to death in the Matrix world, which does not apply to Trinity. She has died in the real world.

And physical death cannot be resurrected in the world view of “The Matrix”, only the Trinity code in the Matrix world can be restored.

How does “The Matrix 4” explain this?

At the end of the third part, the little girl asked Prophet if he could see NEO again.

Prophet replied: It should be. The possibility of NEO’s resurrection has been buried here.

If it is determined that NEO and others can be resurrected.

The further question that needs to be asked is: Why should they be resurrected?

First possibility

Combined with the ending, NEO represents humans and reached a ceasefire agreement with robots, and the mission of “ONE” has been completed.

Now “ONE” has to be resurrected, which means that this balance may be broken. The architect does not believe that the peaceful coexistence of humans and robots will not last long.

But in the end, he still fulfilled his promise.

Let those who desire to leave the Matrix free and stop interfering with them. But the freedom of these people will bring a series of consequences.

Originally, after humans covered the sky and solar power was blocked, the entire robotic world relied on human biological functions.

The original intention of Matrix World was to “anaesthetize” the dream machine created by human beings.

If a large number of humans leave the Matrix (more than 1% of the total number of humans), it is likely to cause the Matrix to collapse and insufficient power supply.

Then more people may get rid of the control and wake up, when the contradiction between humans and robots will be aroused again.

Second possibility

A virus stronger than Smith was born.

Smith was originally a member of the Matrix system, and his duty was to maintain the stability of the system.

But after turning into a bug, he began to break away from the control of the system.

Eventually it even developed to affect the existence of the entire Matrix, causing Matrix to turn to NEO to “eliminate the virus.”

In fact, there are many more potential threats to get out of the control of Matrix.

For example, the French in “The Matrix Reloaded”. Like prophet, it is Matrix’s earliest program, and it can be done without Matrix control.

In order not to be deleted by the system update iteration, the French can break away from Matrix’s investigation and hide somewhere in the world.

Not only that, the French can also do their own programming. These programs that are out of the control of Matrix may one day become another Smith.

Like the little girl in the third part, she was born by two programs that copied NEO’s “love code”.

At the end, she showed her ability-to create a gorgeous sunrise scene.

This kind of bug-level existence that is seriously out of the established rules of Matrix, can Matrix really tolerate it all the time?

Can Prophet really protect her all the time?

All kinds of foreshadowings have given NEO an opportunity to resurrect.

Free will

Old fans like “The Matrix” not only because of its powerful story setting.
It is the hard core philosophical theme behind it.

Adding some philosophical thinking to a commercial film is sometimes a way to decorate the appearance and play mystery.

But Wachowski, the two brothers (remaining brothers at the time) came true.

Keanu Reeves was asked to read a bunch of books on postmodernism before taking the film.

From the front to the back, “The Matrix” is so full of philosophy that a bunch of philosophers even co-authored a book for this movie.

Among many philosophical propositions, the core is still free will.

Many old fans must have asked this question-do the characters in “The Matrix” have free will?

According to the architect, the Matrix system has changed over several generations.

The world that was originally designed for humans is actually a perfect version.

But because it is too perfect, human beings cannot believe its authenticity and collectively die. Prophet discovered the trick.

As long as humans are given the right to choose, 99% of humans will be willing to live in Matrix.

The remaining 1% of human beings, like the protagonists, are trying to break away from the Matrix.

In order to control the number of people in this group, the architect and Prophet designed a program called “ONE”.

Seeing this, do you understand?

“ONE” was originally designed to adjust the machine.

Every time, the number of awakenings exceeds the control. Humans will meet Prophet, and Prophet will guide them to find “ONE” and finally implant the program.

In interacting with humans and various programs, “ONE” iterates into a new version, and finally helps Matrix to upgrade again under the guidance of Prophet.

“The Matrix” can be regarded as a story of computer system maintenance and upgrading.

All decisions are just pre-sets.

Even all signs are suggesting that the original reality outside the Matrix is ​​likely to be another fictional Matrix.

This is the horror of “The Matrix”.

“The Matrix 4”, 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.

Will you give up the beautiful dream of a good day and choose the riddled reality like NEO ?
