What Revolutionary Thing(s) did you learn??

[RoninFox]

I learned that Keanu Reeves was in this movie, though for the life of me I could never remember him.

I learned that Keanu Reeves was in this movie, though for the life of me I could never remember him.

I think Morpheous might have been in this movie too, but I can't remember.

But we do have plenty of shots of Marvin Gaye's daughter and her dykey friend blowing stuff up.

I also learned that Smith, despite having 8 billion copies of himself, would rather just fight Neo 1 on 1.

But I still have no clue what the Indian girl and her family had anything to do with anything.

So you could see that programs too can laugh and love and live . . . to spout crazy dialog

[ManUnderMask]

I learned that punches and kicks don't need to actually land or have any kind of impact in order to make them effective.

I learned that the Reptilians were behind this and we must warn David Icke (which is even funnier because I've actually read his books).

[Lemming Howard]

I learned that a minor character will die instantly from a small scalpel blade in the stomach. But if your name is on the poster, you can ramble on for ten minutes with several girders through vital organs.

More precisely,  it takes not one,  not two,  not three,  but four shafts of re-bar to snuff a major movie character.  I couldn't help but think of that scene from Cloverfield.  Maybe if Neo had yanked Trinity off those things she would have lived.

A ham handed attempt to copy Tron?  Anthropomorphizing computer programs to make you root for the hero more?

I learned that even in the Matrix, fortune tellers (aka Oracles) are full of crap - they just talk in enough generalities that what they say will end up applying to whatever the outcome.

[Darth Macho]

I learned that all computer programs secretly want to
A) Create their own crazy-ass metaphysics, OR
B) Build their own underground leather/fetish bars.

Anyone can sound profound by adding the following words to their drivel: choice, coincidence, causality, symbols, constructs, existence, perceive, patterns, believe & purpose.

There is absolutely zero metaphorical subtlety in the Matrix. Everything has exactly two meanings, no more or less.

The Matrix hierarchy of combat: Goofy Flying Wuxia > Kung Fu > Guns > Teamwork & Sensible Tactical Planning.

A program consciously decided to make itself a French stereotype. It married a self-aware Monica Bellucci .jpg. And their file transfer application looks like a homeless man.

The day after the people in the Matrix are awakened Zion is going to have a hard time explaining itself to the widows of all of those cops gunned down by their army of flying hacker/terrorists.

I learned that the Wachowski's should have really, really stopped at the first movie.

I learned that in a movie about evil machines and human perseverance humans with superpowers, some machines are not evil and are integral to fighting off the evil machines. I guess. 

I learned that weenie, random characters can save the day and inexplicably not die and later randomly appear to spread the good news that he somehow knows. (Jesus Neo is dead and humanity is mostly still enslaved saved.

Oh, and I learned that Wachowski's like shoving random characters that have nothing to do with anything in their story even more than M. Night.

i learned that bill has the best keanu impression.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

I learned that guns are best mounted to big robots that do little but stand there and shoot. And on said robot there doesn't need to be ANY PROTECTION for the the operator AT ALL. For crying out loud, not even a cage or Plexiglas or anything. Also, the training for operating a big complicated robot is optional.

Awe, come one, they said the magical words to protect themselves:  "KNUCKLE UP!!!"  Everyone knows that's all the protection you need. 

I guess all pictures of tanks were lost, all they had were copies of Aliens, and if Ripley could kick ass in a machine like that so could they....

Maybe the briefcase size ammo boxes were a bit of an oversight, but who would think a big walking gun would have to shoot for more than a few minutes?

[Rattrap007]

I learned to stop a war with machine all you really have to do is go up the main one and say you want peace...

You know that always bothered me along with how is it explained when someone is taken over by an agent..

"Bill was out collecting garbage one day and suddenly he wasn't there but a guy in a suit was. Next thing I know that suit guy is fighting a guy with a fetish for black clothes and then he kills the suit guy. He leaves so I go check out the suit guy but now it is Bill.."
