Why did he do it?
Why did he do it?
You're a slave
active social life
Neo was a clock-in-clock-out type who moonlighted as a hacker so I doubt he had an active social life.
To be free. If you don't get it, stay in the matrix.
I never understood the point of waking up in the real world if it's just a desolate land beyond repair full of alien robots. What are you even fighting for at that point?
Some people desire the truth more than their own personal comfort.
NEOOOOOOOO IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR ((((ZION)))) NEOOOOOOOOOOOOO
His criminal associates took him to the club so that's something.
ANON YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE REDPILL ANON AND NOT EAT SEED SOILS OR TOUCH RECEIPTS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT MINORITIES ALL THE TIME WHILE HAVING NO FRIENDS AND REDUCING ALL SOCIAL INTERACTION TO MACHIAVELLIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION TECHNIQUES THAT YOU LEARNT ON YOUTUBE ANON ITS ALL A MARKET SEX IS A MARKETPLACE AND THE CHADS ARE GETTING ALL THE QUALITY PRODUCTS ANON

There's no way of ever knowing what's real ever again at that point, so you might aswell take the most comfortable available false reality.
This is demonstrably false.
Access to the training program with the Woman in Red in it. Mouse made clear that you can fuck her whenever you want. For many here, that would be a quality of life improvement.
The machines were working for the interests of mankind all along. They were the ones to see that in order to protect humans from harming each other and further destroying their world, they'd have to keep them inside a simulated world. No wonder they chose the late 90s for the simulation - it was the pinnacle of human civilization and comfort.
because some people don't want to live in cages their whole lives. If you don't understand, you never will

It's so weird that they accurately predicted this practically to the exact year. When I first watched the matrix I found it laughable that 1999 would be the peak, it seemed like things would continue improving for a long time yet, but they were right.
Because the story of the Matrix and "the one" is a program played out in the brains of new machines that are brought online so that our toasters see us as benevolent and continue to make toast.
That was a one time thing
Possibly but we really don't know.
understandable but I'm curious how aware they were of the state of the world. If you took the redpill and someone showed you a picture of that hellscape on the surface I'd 100% do what Cypher did or whatever his name was.

Crawling back into a cage like him is the cowardly, pathetic thing you can possibly do. You have no guarantees master treats you nice after an escape attempt
"You will enjoy it. I promise"
Never considering him again, from the time on. In fact the couple was in the middle of attention, while Neo was hiding in a corner of the disco club.
So the guy’s girlfriend checked Neo out, looked him up and down every single time he was invited to the club and gave approval? Sounds like a group of autistics
You have no guarantees master treats you nice after an escape attempt
Machines work purely on logic so would have no reason to punish him.
crawl back into a cage and live in nice clean virtual life, or live in a cave of a dead planet where I can't grow marigolds in the sunshine. real tough choice
nuff sed
This, the planet is already dead. Freedom means nothing if everything around you is lifeless.
More knowledge = good is an underappreciated fallacy.
I can't stand dumbs who say shit like "I just love to learn" or go on about "the joy of finding things out!"
It's really more like the horror of finding things out. Imagine you find out late in life that your sweet grandmum who represented nothing but love and comfort was actually the most prolific nigger cocksucker that rural Alabama had ever witnessed. Did your situation improve with that knowledge?
Remember, the guy who tells everyone to leave the cave gets beaten to death.
That’s kind of the problem with The Matrix as a gnostic allegory. When you awaken, you are meant to reunite with the pleroma (the source of the divine), but The Matrix inverts this by sending gnostics to a depressing hellscape.
does mouse get to watch
What are you even fighting for at that point?
why does twitter round the edges off of images? it doesn't even look good
gay brown orgy
plug me back in with the girl in the dress
nobody posts it
comfy
literally killing himself while waiting hours and hours in front of a PC for something to happen
All while your sixth sense tells you there is something wrong
Weed is not the answer.
He has never raved
Billions of dolph ludgrens rave and you can't get a single girl to hang out with you.
why do they look so cool?
COMFY OFFICE JOB
His daughter is built for BWC
Reminder that the redpill itself had no enlightening qualities and was merely a tracker for Morpheus to yank him out with and sell a "truth". Anyone who professes himself as "redpilled" is literally declaring that he's a mark for grifters.
”having a stready office job is so hard. filling out excel sheets and going home to my mortgageless home and wife and kids is such a chore” - 80s / 90s boomers
“i can’t wait to be able to afford to rent a 1 bedroom garage of my own” - modern 30 year old zoomers
boomers are fucking fools.
when were you when neon dies?
I was sat on nebuchadnezzar eating semen porridge when morpheus ring
'neon is kill'
'no'
anon... someone has to control her...
The mutt pathology on display here is fascinating…
n-no! The red pill didn’t actually do anything
except allow them to find him and free him from the matrix
I’m sure this seemed like a good “gotcha!” moment in your head.
anyone saying he's blue pilled is aids
The real issue with the analogy is simplistic arrogance, and the childish consumer mindset implied in such popular movie references.
wake up in the battery
get taught how to perform in the Matrix
ignore Morpheus
plug yourself in to the chair and do everything you ever wanted to do in the simulations
would have been a good life, but it's too late for me
well that's fucking stupid
Morpheus was the captain of the ship. Neo couldn't just sit in the simulation and jack off, he was out and so he had to become The One or just be a useless eater. And you can't plug yourself back into the actual Matrix either. Once you're out you're out, unless the machines offered you a way back in like with Cypher.
that is my point, he didn't have to be the One and risk his life at all.
I would have crawled back into the battery, eaten the steak and become an actor every fucking time.
Be a miserable wageslave
Be a miserable soldier fighting for freedom
even if the second one is fake, it's miles better than wageslaving
What are you even fighting for at that point?
Now I understand that Morpheus' ship and way of running things might not be the standard, but he literally had a "digital pimp" onboard who was willing, able, and permitted to set up whatever deranged simulations you wanted in your downtime.
Certainly he didn't have to be woken up in the first place, but once he was up being The One was basically the only path left to him.
that's just plotfaggery, you can choose not to at any time.
ITT
Most of these people are not ready to be unplugged
They will fight to defend the matrix
nigger dicks out of nowhere
There’s something deeply wrong with you people
What the movie suggests but doesn't really elaborate on is that once you've started to feel the fake-ness of the Matrix it's just hard to accept it as reality. Everyone who becomes consciously aware that they have a choice chooses to opt out. I'm guessing that everything in the real world just feels more "right" and living outside the Matrix is the only way to deal with that feeling of it being "wrong." At this point I have to note I don't think the whole thing can be boiled down to *just* a trans allegory. But the transgender thing is a component of the "you choose which reality you want to live in" mentality.
The main problems with this are:
a) it's a difficult concept to convey visually and so you're forced to do it with exposition dumps and philosophical exchanges between instead. And they did, but a lot of it went over the audience's head. The conversation between the Merovingian and Morpheus, for example, is about whether the freed humans really have any agency or not and how what you perceive as a choice can really be the result of manipulation and other people's influence. All consistent with the trilogy's themes but since it sort of hits the ground running instead of starting from square one a lot of people who saw it just went "huh?"
b) the visuals in the films actually muddy the waters further because the Matrix feels more real than Zion does. The fake reality people are supposed to be rejecting because it feels artificial looks like the normal world and the real world that is supposed to be more vibrant and alive is all CGI backdrops. I don't think that's intentional, its just that the settings in the Matrix lended themselves to being filmed practically or being recreated in a plausible way and the settings of Zion didn't. I actually think the infamous cave rave was a failed attempt to give zion that spark of life it's missing and convey the "this is what the REAL world actually feels like and it's awesome" idea. It just didn't work
I dont think the xisters ever claimed it was just a trans analogy anon, its just something xey retrospectively said had something to do with it.
cypher was right about everything
rather die standing than "live" kneeling. everyone who disagrees with that should be executed
He only went because the lady had a white rabbit tattoo after he had received the "follow the white rabbit" message from trinity.
1999
It wasn't specifically 1999 but just the ambiguous "late 20th century" that was shot in 1998 syndey.
Your gonna die kneeling, buddy.
Why didnt the machines just pleasure cube the humans?
No need for it to be interconnected. Just hook them up to their own personal goon machines
probably not but that would be really funny
Humanity wanted suffering as much as they wanted pleasure.
That is part of the cube
Maybe that's what all the famous actors did
They explain this in the architect scene.
They have tried multiple different methods, one version the pod people had all of their needs met, and they rejected the reality almost immediately.
They tried one that was just a hellscape, and it failed as well, so they brought the oracle in to try and mediate a middle ground, which included "the one" rounding error.
Well yeah they were both still dudes when they made the first film. The trans analogy fits given what we know now but it's missing the forest for the trees. It's consistent with the themes but it's not *the* theme.
NEOOOO WAKE UP LIL'BLUD FR NO CAP FROM YOUR ENDLESS DOOMSCROLLING ON TIKTOK AND YOUTUBE SHORTS WHILE DISCUSSING TWITCH STREAMER'S POLITICAL TAKES ON DISCORD INBETWEN JERKING OFF TO BIG ROBLOX GYATTS AND BEING IN DENIAL ABOUT YOUR FAILED ESPORT FORNITE/APEX CAREER AND BEING A BLAME THE MILLENNIALS STAN WORSHIPPING GEN X ANDY BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SCARED OUT OF BOOMERS AND THEIR LIMINAL OFFICE SPACES TO GET A REAL JOB IN STEP WITH THE HOUSING MARKET AND COME LIVE WITH US IN THE GOONCAVE AND EAT SLOPPA, NEOOO
it do be like that sometimes
its "diverse"
PLUG ME BACK IN
ngl this porridge slaps iykyk
In the script the wakowski's had right before filming where they switch to the shooting script, Morpheus has done this like 5 times to other dudes claiming they're the ones who all died kek
I hate how zoomers have to be ironic about everything.
I'm a tourist from Anon Babble. we are likely living in a matrix just like the movie, complete with pods and everything.
oh really? demonstrate its falsehood.
Kek
Have you ever questioned yourself why you work 8 hours a day? Why is it 8 hours a day, who benefits by setting it to 8 hours per day?
The government and your boss, people who make money from your work, are the ones setting all these rules, and governments price fix houses costs in order to make sure that you work until you retire, fool.
its the choice dum dum
Office Space almost feels like a prequel to The Matrix.
Active social life
What did he do besides work and sell shit out of his apartment?
actual midwit
It works surprisingly well as a prequel.
So I've heard that the original plot was supposed to be an "anti-metanarrative". Does anyone know what the original plot was going to be like in the second and third movies?
Erm excuse me chuddy he actually helped his landlady take out her garbage!!
grandmum
"mutt pathology"
sheesh
Spite honestly. Maybe if all machines were like the Oracle(even if her motherly demeanor is simply a way to be comforting to humans) I'd be content being their battery but fuck bowing down to spooks like the Agents or the Architect.
Sarcastic and insincere are the words you are looking for, but I agree, really annoying. Slopkino might be my least favorite term on this site in the 15 or however many years I've been here. Just say its a good movie that you like. But that's just a smaller part of the real problem people not posting an honest opinion of anything besides women or niggers. And even that's mostly a bunch of faggotry nonsense. Never thought I'd long for lol random culture to come back.
kill morphious
team up with Ralphie
take turns plugging each other in to eat steak and fuck women
The future is looking bright now.
It is annoying. I think it's symptom of growing up with social media where its incredibly easy to be mocked and criticized by countless people so it's easier to shrug it off if you were totally just being ironic. Granted Anon Babble is the exact same in that regard but the anonymity changes the dynamic massively.
