This world is absolutely not normal.
Seeing now, many viewers have thought of something, which is the difference between commercial films and art films.
Commercial films will not play the audience from beginning to end, but will throw clues little by little, so that the audience will have a sense of (happy) to find clues and solve puzzles by themselves!
Trinity and the agents’ series of moves and fights that don’t conform to the normal rules of physics, Trinity’s sudden disappearance in a phone booth, the agents’ weird methods… And that quote from Morpheus.
Let the audience gradually feel that this modern, peaceful world in front of them… Maybe it’s fake?
As the interrogation continued, Agent Smith pulled out a strange mechanical bug and placed it on the table.
The mechanical worm crawled quickly, and soon burrowed into Neo’s stomach, but Neo had no wound on his belly.
The audience at the scene exclaimed again.
The scene suddenly cuts to Neo sitting up from the bed, gasping for breath and sweating profusely, as if everything that has just happened is just a dream.
But is it really just a dream?
Until this time, the weirdness that the film gives to the audience has reached the extreme.
Neo in the film isn’t sure if he’s having a nightmare until he meets Trinity again.
Trinity used the instrument to suck the mechanical bug out of Neo’s body.
“You’re out of your hands.” Trinity said.
“It’s true, what the hell is this?” Neo exclaimed.
“The animatronics, or… A piece of procedure. ”
Procedure?
This is another clue that makes the audience think in doubt.
Spielberg, who was sitting in the front row, muttered in a low voice at this time: “Almost.” ”
George Lucas on the side was fascinated when he suddenly heard his friend come and asked, “What is almost?” ”
Spielberg said in a low voice: “From the beginning of the film, it has been throwing out suspense and clues one by one, these suspense can make the audience curious, and the clues can make the audience feel as if they have grasped something, and all kinds of speculations are generated in their hearts… After all, curiosity and exploration are human instincts. ”
“But this is a commercial film, the pace must be controlled, otherwise too much suspense and speculation will make the audience tired, and Martin will not make such a mistake.”
“Throughout all of Martin’s scripts, his control of the tempo is absolutely masterful. So I think that when the plot progresses here, there should be a wonderful plot that can stimulate people’s psychology – such as fighting, such as uncovering the truth or revealing a corner of the truth! ”
He didn’t finish speaking.
On the screen, Neo had swallowed the pill in one gulp.
In the next second, everyone was terrified.
In a facility that resembles a culture tank, Neo snapped open his eyes and struggled to his feet.
People saw that his body was full of tubes!
At this time, Neo was bald, naked, slow, and weak, as if a vegetative person who hadn’t exercised for a long time had just woken up.
“God, what’s going on?”
Someone is exclaiming.
Then, the camera suddenly zooms out, showing this strange world from Neo’s perspective.

In the picture, there are huge objects like mountains that have both a sense of machinery and a sense of life, and on these huge objects, there are countless facilities like cultivation tanks that are densely packed together.
The camera begins to zoom in, the world is silent, and the thick clouds and dust drifting in the sky are gloomy, like an apocalyptic scene.
With the occasional flash of lightning, the audience could see the huge object filled with the cultivation tank in the boundless end, with no end in sight.
This three-and-a-half-minute scene is definitely the top level in special effects, and in order to achieve the effect Martin wants, the special effects artists of ILM are also racking their brains.
“That’s a good one!” Spielberg praised.
“Indeed!” George Lucas is also happy with the work of his own staff.
Kevin Thomas, a film critic for the Los Angeles Times, recorded in a small notebook: Obviously, this movie doesn’t need actors to show acting skills, but it’s not a bad movie, and the worldview that Martin constructs in the film is creepy, this is a story about a “brain in a vat”…
Kevin Thomas wasn’t as critical of the film as other old-school critics.
He loved the atmosphere and suspense that the movie creates, and the cool action scenes make it amazing.
Maybe it’s because he is relatively young in the group of film critics!
Neo enters the hovercraft and is taken to the rebel headquarters.
During the journey of the spaceship, more details of this world are also shown to the audience.
“Welcome to the real world!”
When Neo meets Morpheus, the first words spoken by the big black man plunge the audience into the harsh reality. [ Read more novels for free on our website: Knight NovelS ] ）
It turned out that the wonderful, modern, peaceful world was fake.
This apocalyptic world, in which humans are raised as animals, is real.
This is followed by a scene where Neo is subjected to acupuncture.
Spielberg laughed: “I heard that Martin is obsessed with Chinese culture, and it seems to be true. ”
On the screen, the plot continues, Neo’s body is recovering, and he can gradually act like a normal person.
And Morpheus has finally revealed the truth about this world.
“In the 21st century, humans have developed AI robots… The robots rebelled, and the humans made the clouds in the sky obscure the sunlight forever in order to contain the robots, because the robots get their energy from the sun…”
“But humans never imagined that robots would find a new way to obtain energy, that is, bioelectricity in the human body… In the end, the robot defeated the human, and the human being was controlled by the robot, just like growing vegetables, harvesting again and again…”
“And the matrix is the virtual world built by the robots, so that all human consciousness lives in the virtual world… Robots do this not because of benevolence, but because in the virtual world, the lifespan of humans can be extended, just like lengthening batteries, providing them with more energy…”
With Morpheus’s words, the silver (Zhao Zhao Hao) screen is also slowly showing this world – a gloomy world, ruins like the Gobi Desert, and the “wheat fields” that “plant” human beings between the towering heaven and earth!
For a full five minutes, the film uses real special effects to show the audience how human beings are planted by machines into the cultivation tank from birth, and then act as the energy source of AI intelligent machines!
It’s miserable!
This plot uncovers the truth of the world, and the audience doesn’t need to bother to think about it.
At the same time, it also made the audience empathize and feel creepy!!
Of course, as a successful commercial film, it is bound not to make the audience’s emotions so tense all the time. []
So immediately began a wonderful plot of Morpheus training Neo.
The film critics, who had just been attracted to it, began to frown again.
