: Listen to yourself, your bitching about a MOVIE and how unrealistic a Sci-fi movie is? that doesn't make sense does it? this movie isn't based off of fact it's made up. It sounds ridiculous for someone to argue this...
:
: Of all you said, this is the most non-sensical. If they are counterparts that's fucking fabulous in a philosophical sense. I get that. I promise I really do. I'm actually quite a fan of Taoism as well as a few other eastern religions. But religion/philosophy/etc. isn't the problem. The problem is they created a fantastic "what if" world where people are connected to a giant computer program called The Matrix and if you know how to manipulate code, then you can make amazing things happen. They are trying to base everything in this concept and everything that happens therefore has to apply to the rules of a computer operating system controlling a phoney environment. That being said, a human controller and a program interacting cannot "fuse" together. It doesn't work. And secondly, if a human were to connect with a program there wouldn't be immediate explosions. This isn't a chemical reaction we're watching. It's someone banging away on a keyboard (instead in this world you can do it with your mind) to make things happen. But wait, instead of trying to explain what happened, and how something like this could happen, they just show reactions and don't explain how. That's weak writing, that's bad storytelling and ignores all of their previous pronounciations on the way things have to happen in this future existence.
If you liked the original Matrix then you shouldn't be bitching about that because it's practically the same thing Neo did to Smith then, except i guess to completely destroy Smith this time he had to die... (honestly i don't know i didn't make the movie but it's pretty obvious).
: The problem I have is with people that don't realize these problems and say "okay that's fine....but I still liked it." If you could say that to me, then it would be okay. But someone that wanted to like it so much that they ignore what they've seen and when something's black they say "not its not, its white. There's something wrong with YOU if you think it's black." That troubles me.
The Matrix has never been about fact it's always been about depth, and meaning to the philosophy, or atleast it is that way to me ( and not to mention some sweet ass effects and action )... i mean you can argue everything that was done in the first and say it is impossible and therefore you hate the movie and if that's the case then you had no reason watching the second and third. I mean look your comparing your knowledge to a sci-fi movie that is fictional and takes place however many years in the future, i mean obviously our knowledge of programs and shit is going to look like shit in 20- 30 years... i mean look back 20 years ago they had to write programs on little cards and punch holes and shit... that was how they programmed then i mean now we have programs that write programs for us! it's just crazy to argue a futuristic movie even though it infact seems a little crazy to us now, but again if you have a problem with that shit now then you shouldn't of liked the first meaning you shouldn't of even watched the second and third.
