In Reply to: The Matrix Reloaded posted by michael w on May 15, 2003 at 23:27:31:
i got tickets for tonite at 10:00. rarely would i go to the theaters anymore, but this is special. not expecting too much, but hoping it's as philosophically significant as the first one.i don't care what others have to say about it's philosophy. i'm my own expert, and i know the value of the first one.
anyone who swears by the first one and doesn't care for the second one, i'll believe. but if you don't like the first one you don't have a clue.
swordfish had some impressive stuff but it was no where near the matrix. i'm hoping the directors can get their magic back.

Hey njjohn, I'd be interested if you could post a few comments on the Matrix movies' philosophical significance.I just saw Reloaded last night, and while I was quite bored with the technical martial arts, I was quite taken with the philosophical dialogues. Not that I "understand" them.... Let's just say I'm thinking of watching again when it gets made a DVD, where I can just buzz on past the flying-body stuff.
And I will shamefacedly admit that I was just about floored by the technical virtuosity of the car, truck & motorcycle scene. My jaw dropped.
Looking forward to your post,
Bill
to be honest, i didn't understand this one like i did the first one. the first one is philosophically significant, very much a great critique of our society.i got more than the problem of not getting the same insight as i did about the first movie.
the other problem is i don't have a handle on my insight into the first one. i'd have to see it again.
then again this is the fact that i'm human.
i did love the way that petty human emotions were there among many of the humans. right in the smack of things.
i'll write a short review above.
Big up to the fight choreographer because the action was so smooth and so believable (except the flying sh!t). The car motorcycle scene was awesome, where and how did they shoot that? I cant wait for the DVD to come out so they can explain it. The movie is all action for about the first 80% and then they drop a bomb on you and fry your brain. Im stil going through that stuff in my mind. I actually thought about the reality of the world we live in a long time before "The Matrix" came out. In high school (9yrs ago)I had too much time and too many drugs on my hands. Stuff like that can blow your mind like a bad trip. I like it but the average fan might not be able to follow it.
i think you are on to something. drugs can open up the 'doors of perception'.all those doors. only one opened up to the light.
